EXT. LOCKWOOD ESTATE MANOR, NORTHERN CALIFORNIA - DAY

The scene cuts to a car driving up the manor. We soon get to see Claire Dearing step out of her car. She walks up to the door, and it opens, revealing Iris.

IRIS CAROLL

"Ms. Dearing, you're early. Would you like to step in?"

CLAIRE DEARING

"Thank you."

INT. LOCKWOOD ESTATE MANOR - DAY

She walks away. Claire walks around, looking at the portraits of men, and she stops. She looks at John Hammond's portrait and she walked over to it, before hearing a voice.

ELI MILLS

"John Alfred Hammond. The father of Jurassic Park. But of course, you know that."

He walks down the stairway towards Claire.

ELI MILLS

"Hello, Claire, I'm, I'm Eli. Mills. I work for Ben Lockwood. We actually met once, 7-8 years ago, and you don't remember..."

CLAIRE DEARING

(Smiling) 

"Of course, I remember. Haven't you run his foundations since..."

ELI MILLS

"Since college. Yeah. You remember?"

CLAIRE DEARING

"Yes!"

(laughs)

ELI MILLS

"Wow, cool. He wanted someone young, and, idealistic to expand his fortune. And I used to be both."

They both laugh together.

ELI MILLS

"Follow me."

They both walk into another room, which carries a lot of dinosaur related things.

ELI MILLS

"Let me give you a bit of history. This is where it all began. Before the islands, Sorna, Jurassic Park, all of it. Hammond and Lockwood built custom lab in a sub-basement extracted the first DNA from amber, right beneath our feet."

CLAIRE DEARING

(Happily) 

"My goodness! What they did here was a miracle I still believe that."

ELI MILLS

"So do I, Claire. So do I, and I still believe it matters, what happens to those animals. There is something Mr. Lockwood would very much like you to do, Claire. You can call it a favor for an old friend. We have, a piece of land. A sanctuary. Protected by natural barriers, fully self-sustaining. A new home where the dinosaurs will be secure... And free."

The camera then moved to the figurine sanctuary island and Claire spoke.

CLAIRE DEARING

"You're gonna get them out? You're gonna save them?"

Suddenly, there is another voice. It's Ben Lockwood, who's Eli Mills boss.

BEN LOCKWOOD

"No, Ms. Dearing. I'm going to save us. We could both use a touch of redemption, couldn't we?"

He rolls over and grabs her hand.

BEN LOCKWOOD

"Lovely to see you again."
