He's bringing them out to you. It'll be a...

Pachy.... Pachya.... Oh, hell.

The fat head with the bald spot.

Friar Tuck.

Stop.

Pachycephalosaurus.

Carnivore?

No, herbivore, late Cretaceous.

See the distinctive domed skull?

Nine inches of solid bone. Now, careful.

A pachy's neck attaches at the bottom

of its skull, not at the back of its head.

When it lowers its head,

its neck lines up with its backbone...

which is perfect for absorbing impact.

Snagger, Friar Tuck's on the loose,

just about to cross your path.

Dieter, get in the outrigger.

You're closing in on a carina....

Say that again, Roland. A what?

The one with the big red horn.

The pompadour. Elvis.

Take me out.

Okay, Carter, reel me in.

Easy!

Not too close.

Go for the legs! The legs! Watch the tail!

Burke!

Come here.

Recognise this trackway?

Yes, I do. Tyrannosaur.

Roland.

Where do you think you're going?

To collect my fee, Mr. Ludlow.

To collect my fee.

Oh, my God.

Procompsognathus Triassicus,

found by Frass in Bavaria in 1913.

Is it dangerous?

No, I wouldn't think so.

The Compy's been presumed

to be a scavengers, like jackals.

It gives me the creeps.

It's like it's not scared.

There haven't been any visitors

to this island.

There's no reason for it to fear man.

Now it does.

It's the Rex nest.

It's probably only a couple weeks old.

Never left the nest.

Offspring that young, the parents

won't leave him alone for too long.

make your blind here?

Wait for the buck to return?

If the nest is upwind, then so are we.

When he comes back, he's gonna know

we're here without us having a chance.

The trick is to get him...

to come where we want him.

This is why Hammond was in a hurry to

get you here. He knew they were coming.

my God, they are well-organised.

Those are major-league toys.

maybe I should ask to use their phone.

Their dish is bigger than yours.

So they actually want

to build another park here?

After what you said happened

on the other island?

They're not building anything.

They're taking these animals out of here.

Back to the mainland.

I think I should tell you. Hammond told me

these people might show up.

He thought we'd be finished by the time

they started, but if they weren't...

he sent a backup plan.

What backup plan?

me.

Simply put, InGen is seeking limited

partners to defray some of our expenses.

The prospectus you've been given

by the board details...

our projected hardware

and construction expenses.

As you can see by my two friends here,

the software is already fully developed.

One might say, "it'd be up and running".

In a moment,

I'll take you on a stroll through the camp...

and you'll see some larger,
