《Jurassic Park: The Beginning of the End/Life Of Crusher, Feared T-Rex》Jurassic Park 3 Arc part 3: Grant finds out the truth/Finding Eric
Advertisement
Winded from running, Paul is caught off-guard as a furious Grant slams his back against a tree. Only one thing he wants to know --
"Give me one reason why i wont hesitate to knock you out, Mr. Kirby. Why did you really bring us here? What's really going on here?"
Paul is too startled to speak. Udesky tries to step in, but Grant gives him back a look.
"Our son is on this island. We need your help to find him." Amanda replied. Still crunched against the tree, Paul pulls out a photo from his shirt pocket.
Paul then replies later, "This is him. Eric. He's thirteen now. He's just about the greatest kid in the world."
Letting go of Paul, Grant takes the photo, a Sears-style portrait of the boy we saw Parasailing at the beginning. He shakes his head, disbelieving. He hands the photo to Billy.
The group splits into two sides -- Paul and Amanda, Grant and Billy -- with Udesky stuck between. Dialogue overlaps in places. "He's with a man, named Ben Hildebrand."
"Who's that?" Billy asked, puzzled. Paul interjects, "Her new boyfriend. After we divorced over a year ago."
Amanda Kirby interrupted. "A friend. We were vacationing. Eric wanted to see the island and the dinosaurs, so Ben found a guy who would take them parasailing. They never came back."
"We called everyone, did everything we could. No one would help us. Because of all the controversy over this island, no one will step in. Costa Rica says it's a no-fly zone, it's their own damn fault. Guys at the U.S Embassy -- our U.S. Embassy -- said we should "accept the inevitable." You believe that?" Paul remarked, raising his voice, frustrated.
"So you hired these mercenaries." Grant grimaced to himself. "We prefer "recovery specialists." We do overseas custody issues and..." Udesky was just about to explain a bit more, before Grant interrupted. "Then you duped us into coming here."

"We needed somebody who knew the lay of the land. Somebody who'd been to this island before."
"Yes, but I did not tell you to kidnap somebody!" Udesky reprimanded.
Grant stared in disbelief. "I have never been on this island!"
"Sure you have. You wrote that book..." Paul interjects again.
"That was Isla Nublar. This is Isla Sorna. The second island. Or Site B." Billy corrected.
"I didn't know, there were two islands." Paul spoke quietly.
"Still, you have survived the dinosaurs before. You saved those kids." Amanda pointed out, referring to the incident on Nublar in 1993.
"A few of us survived. A lot more died. And we were better prepared and better armed. How many days, or how long have they been missing?" Grant asked adamantly and bluntly.
A look between Amanda and Paul of a puzzled one. Later, the Kirbys replied with a honest answer as much as they can. "Eight weeks. Almost eight weeks now." Grant and Billy are speechless. It might as well be eight years.
"After what you've seen today, you really think your son could be alive?"
"He's smart, Dr. Grant. And he knows so much about dinosaurs." Amanda replied back. Before anyone else can talk, Grant puts his hand out. He wants everyone to shut up while he plans their next move. "No, I'm sorry, but no. We'll savage what we can from the plane. Then we head for the coast. There may be a boat left, something to get us off this island." Said Grant, with a determined look.
"Dr. Grant, we're not leaving without our son." Paul spoke in protest.
Grant sighs. "You can stick with us, or you can go and look for him. As long as you don't slow us down to the point of getting us all killed. Either way, you're probably not getting out of here alive." With that he leaves, A beat later, Billy follows. He has genuine sympathy for the Kirby's, but he's logical enough to know Grant is right.

They look to Udesky with an expression. One of desperation and anxiety. " So, what do we do?" Mr. Kirby asked, breaking the silence.
Udesky is clearly at a loss, but for everyone's reassurance he tries to mutter some brio.
"Well, I think we should start searching for your son. In the direction they're going."
"Excellent, excellent." Said Paul, hopefully. They follow after Grant and Billy shortly afterwards to the wreckage of the plane.
After salvaging what was left from the plane, Grant and the others went off to search for the missing Eric Kirby, all the while trying their best not to attract any attention. Amanda, Paul, Billy, Udesky and Grant walk through the jungle. Until.........
"Eric!" Amanda called out.
"Quiet!" Grant reprimanded, annoyed.
Paul then whispered to Amanda. "Stop that. Dr. Grant says this is dangerous territory."
"Well we should split up or something. We can cover twice the area."
"No, Dr. Grant says..." Amanda interrupts.
"Dr. Grant says this, Dr. Grant says that..." Said an annoyed Mrs. Kirby. Paul retorted doubtfully.
"Well what's the use of hiring an expert if your not going to listen to him?"
"Because "Dr. Grant" isn't looking for Eric. Dr. Grant is looking for the coast." Amanda pointed out, saying that Grant was searching for a way to leave the island, an escape route, if you will.
"Fine... go ahead and scream. And when the Tricyclaplots comes after you, don't come crying to me. That will not be my problem." Retorted an annoyed Paul, who continues to walk, while Amanda mutters, "Oh, don't worry about that." Then they begin arguing, ugh, marital quarreling, it is what it is.
"What? Nothing."
"What did you say? Nothing."
"What did you say!"
"Never mind. Just drop it Paul! Oh my God!"
The Kirby's conversation trails off into the jungle. Udesky moves up next to Grant and Billy.
"If they split up, I'm going with you." Udesky commented. And as they continue forward, Billy spots something in the trees ahead.
《《TIME SKIP TO WHERE THE SPINOSAURUS FINDS THEM AND CHASES THEM》》
Still following the faint RINGING, Grant and Eric turn to find a massive sail moving through the low trees. Which was obviously recognized as the back of a Spinosaurus. We might think it's any random Spinosaurus, except for the RINGING coming from somewhere inside it. Grant and Eric press back against a tree, keeping perfectly still, motionless and hidden as they hear the 'THOOOOMB, THOOOOMB, THOOOMB' of the creature's footsteps reverberating. It's tail rustles against the brush. It's moving behind them, and it's close.
The ringing from the satellite phone moves from left to right as Shredder passes. So far, its has no idea they're there. Looking across the clearing, Eric is startled to see the Kirbys and Billy are no more further than 20 yards away, also hiding. An involuntary reflex, Eric calls out...
"Mom! Dad!"
Grant, right away, immediately covers the boy's mouth. "But it's too late. The dinosaur has stopped. We still can't see it. We don't know how close it is."
Paul and Amanda spot Eric with Grant. They're a thousand emotions at once: relieved, disbelieving, terrified, overjoyed. They want to run to him, to yell out to him, but the monster is close. Grant takes his hand off Eric's mouth. They both stay completely silent. All this time, the satellite phone is ringing again.
Then it stops. And after an agonizing beat, the monstrous beast moves. At first we're not sure which direction it's headed, but finally, the Spinosaurus begins to slowly, end up moving away.
Until the monster appeared from nowhere, sending Grant and Eric running, up to an escape route where they rendezvous with the Kirbys and Billy. The Spinosaurus tries in vain to reach them and pluck one of them with his jaws and feast them for dinner, only to give up his pursuit, his footsteps retreating. Grant and the others made their way to a nearby building, locking the door tightly.
