"Well... that was a long day, wasn't it?" Owen and I just spent a whole day at court trying to get the rights over Maisie in the morning and for the dinosaur shit in the afternoon and evening. It was two days after the day we spend at my parents... Meaning this whole going to court thing again had lasted for two days now. But, surprisingly, we had gotten guardian rights over Maisie, which was mostly because she had no one else to go to, so that was positive. "Yeah, it was. Glad it's over now." "You know we'll have to go back tomorrow, right?" I groaned, "Can we maybe not talk about that right now?" "Yeah... I wish we could, but we need to find a way to get out of this... you know, to put the blame on someone else, cause we're technically blameless." "They don't see it that way." "Yeah, I know. Cause I was the park manager and gave permission for the creation for the Indoraptor and you're the guy who gave them the idea of trainable dinosaurs by training the Velociraptors." "Yup, just that." "And of course InGen is not to blame at all for creating two damn killer dinosaurs!" Owen chuckled, "Killer dinosaurs." "Oh you know what I mean." "Yeah, it's just... most dinosaurs are-," "I know... just. They're basically worse killing machines than normal dinosaurs, okay?" "Yeah, I've got it, I've got," he said as he raised his hands up slightly. "Thank you." I sighed and covered my face with my hands, "How are we going to do this? How are we gonna get out if this? I mean, they pretty much didn't believe us last time... Did they?" "Well, we only had to pay for the funerals of the dead." "I would have done that anyway..." "Really?" "Well... I did authorize the creation of the I-rex and thanks to that I was kind off the one to blame." "God, you're not going there again, are you? It was that bunch of shitheads called InGen that didn't want to tell us what that monster was made of, they're the ones to blame, Claire." "I know, I just can't help but feel a little guilty sometimes... well, more than a little, but that isn't the point. It's just that if I hadn't authorized it it wouldn't have been there." "I know... but that doesn't make you the one to blame, okay." "Okay." "Now let's eat something and go to bed, shall we? We gotta get up early tomorrow." "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea."
The next day was worse than I had imagined. I thought, silly me, that maybe they might listen to us for once, but no, again there was the tale of, "But InGen could not have created the Indominous-Rex if you had not authorized its creation." I sighed before answering, knowing that whatever I was going to say probably wasn't good enough for them. "I know that very well, but you really think that me not authorizing their project would have stopped them? You really think they wouldn't have done it behind my back? Because I know for certain that that is what they would have done. Mr. Wu wouldn't have let anyone stop him. The creation of the Indoraptor should have made that clear to you. InGen wanted to create an army of dinosaurs, whether it was legal or not!" "Is that really what you think, ma'am, that Mr. Wu would willingly risk the lives of many people just to create an army of dinosaurs." "I'm pretty sure that's the case, yes. He's been on this project since it started, since John Hammond hired him to create his dinosaurs for him. He only saw it as a way to make money at first, but now he's become too committed to InGen's cause of creating an army. He probably even thinks they could keep our world safe." "So what you're trying to tell us is that Mr. Wu is a dangerous man?" "I've been trying to tell you that for years, you've only been too stubborn to listen." "Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this, miss Dearing. We'd like to hear what Mr. Grady has to say."
"I am pretty sure she's right." "And why is that, Mr. Grady?" "When I worked at the park as an animal behaviorist I used to work with this man called Vic Hoskins. He, as it turned out, had some ties with Henry Wu and InGen. And he kept telling me that we should train the Raptors to be a living weapon." "And you were against this?" "Of course I was against this! They are wild animals, they can learn commands, yes, but you can't control them, not really. But Hoskins didn't see that." "And how did you find out that he had ties with InGen?" "When we were on the run we went back to the lab, there we found Hoskins commanding some of InGen's people as they were loading embryos and data into boxes to take off with all that." "And why have you not told us this before?" "Because you didn't ask me to share my damn thoughts three years ago, man!" "Mr. Grady, would you please remain calm?" "Yeah, I'd love to, but you're kind of annoying me." "And why is that?" "Because you act like we're the ones to blame! We didn't do this! It was InGen, how is that not clear to you? They have been doing this for years! Remember when they brought the T-Rex to the mainland?" "That was an accident." "No it wasn't, they wanted to make a damn dinosaur zoo!" "And isn't that exactly what Jurassic World was?" "Yes, it was, but at least it wasn't on the mainland and at least there wasn't a pissed of T-Rex that had been separated from it's young." "This is just one accident Mr. Grady." "Oh really? You wanna know what else they did? Maybe you should ask some of the people who've been on this from the start, like Ian Malcolm, Allan Grant or Dr. Sattler." "That's in intriguing idea... We will think of that." "Good." "Thank you Mr. Grady. You can sit down now. We would like to question some of the other people who were with you on the island."
