Bobby Atwater. He'll be helping with team security. [Martin inquires of "security", and Duncan points to a megalodon shark's skeleton jaw] Make sure you don't end up in one of these. A live one.

We go up to Barbados, avoid government patrol, but there aren't that many anymore.

Duncan Kincaid

No one's dumb enough to go where we're going.

[Meeting Duncan at the Van Dijks bar in Paramaribo, Suriname]

Martin Krebs. We spoke on the phone?

Duncan Kincaid

Yeah, Krebs, look, I'm sorry. I thought it over and I can't do it. I'd like to, just as a favor to Zora, but I can't.

What? [Sits at table] We already agreed on the phone. You named your price.

Duncan Kincaid

It's not that, it's just- it's a little too risky for my boat. She's not paid off yet, so I imagine you you understand. No hard feelings, Z.

What the hell is this? He's your guy?

Yeah. We spent ten years in MARSOC together. Well, Duncan's the best, otherwise he wouldn't be here.

Best of what? Drinking?

Moving things. And people in and out of places they shouldn't be.

Duncan Kincaid

Trouble is I really can't do it this time, Z. I'm sorry. And I'm afraid that's final.

That's a hell of a setback, Duncan. You promised me. Oh, we're screwed now. I'm sorry. [Walks to bar to get two bottles] I hate to see this all fall apart on you. I'll tell you what. [Walks back to table] Why don't you make some sort of good-faith gesture? Like, maybe, you know, just spitballing here, but maybe you could double the number that you and I spoke about and then I can take care of Duncan and his crew on my end.

Oh, I see. [Chuckles] That's very nice. You guys cook this up on the phone or just now?

We're just trying to help you out.

Duncan Kincaid

I don't have to sit here and be insulted. [Gets up and walks away]

For God's sakes, fine. Agreed.

Great.

Duncan Kincaid

Great. [Spreads map on table and points to it] We'll loop up to our Barbados. To avoid government controls, but there aren't many anyway.

Why's that?

Duncan Kincaid
[Chuckles]

No one's dumb enough to go where we're going.

Duncan Kincaid
[Walks into boat cabin chuckling]

I can't take it. I mean, it's been fun working with you, Z.

What?

Duncan Kincaid

But I think we just found our new team leader. No offense.

I mean, I don't know anybody that could be offended by that. That's mean.

We can't stay here. They'll come back.

They're more like mutations.

What do you mean, mutations?

Abnormalities, deviations.

I know what the word means. What does it mean here where we are?

Duncan Kincaid

What are you talking about?

This island that we're on, Mr. Work here didn't tell us everything that we need to know.

Look, dinosaurs are dinosaurs. What difference does it make?

Okay, fine. Don't tell us. We can just leave it here.

It's fine.

Fine.

So this island was a laboratory of sorts. They conducted experimental work here.

What kind of experiments?

Cross-breeding of species. The theme park owners were just responding to what the audience wanted. They were tired of looking at the same old thing. "Engineered entertainments", they call them.

Genetically altered freaks?

Yeah. You don't want to do that in the middle of a theme park, do you?

Duncan Kincaid

Ideally, you don't try weird genetic shit at all.

Well, they learned that the hard way. Any that were malformed or just too damn hard for anybody to look at, they left them here.

Well, that's inhuman. Why not just euthanize them?

The average cost of a created species is 72 million dollars. What would you do? Kill it and have to tell your bank or just carry it forward on R&D?

What would I do with mutant dinosaurs from an accounting perspective? Is that really the question? [A dinosaur roars] Can we please just hurry this along?

Everybody, please stay cool. Our situation hasn't changed.

Duncan Kincaid

Two of our friends just died. Clearly the situation's changed quite a bit.

Yes. And that's horrible. But this is where we are now. Desperate and that's not any different than before. We were all desperate to begin with otherwise we wouldn't have come. Right? You specialize in a subject nobody cares about and you're about to be out of a job. You need this. I want the money. You want the money. Your company wants all the money. We still have that case. First sample's in it. Let's get the other two.

That's a great idea. We have no weapons, Z.

[Starts cutting wire of fence]

We never did. I mean, not really. We had a few toys that would have made us feel better. They could have worked or not. Or where we're supposed to be. We know what we're supposed to do. Let's get what we need and get out.

Duncan Kincaid

Those kids, the people who went to the ocean they could still be alive. I say we find them first and then we get out.

Uh, get out, how?

Does anyone want to hear the backup plan?

She has a backup plan?

Duncan Kincaid

She doesn't get out of bed but we got a backup plan.

[Expedition crew are wading in a creek]

Hey, you want to tell me how the, uh, girl fell over the rail?

The thing hit the boat. You were there.

So when you, on the bridge, next to her said it was... so there was nothing you could do.

What are you implying?

Duncan Kincaid

This isn't your first expedition, huh?

No, I've been on digs since I was 12. I studied under Alan Grant as a postdoc. I suppose you're in this kind of situation all the time.

Duncan Kincaid

I used to be. I hate the jungle. I try to avoid it now.

Why is that?

Duncan Kincaid

You can't see three feet in front of you, and you always know you're being stalked. The only place to hide is under water. I refuse to die in the jungle.

My dream is I die in a shallow sea and I'm buried quickly by silt.

Duncan Kincaid

That's beautiful.

It's the best chance of being fossilized that way.

Duncan Kincaid

You're a weirdo.

Thank you.
