JUMANJI 2 By thorney33

1. EXT. DOCKS - DAYTIME Zimbabwe by New Navy plays in the background It is a sunny day, as a boy walks towards a long jetty at the docks, speaking on his phone as he goes. He is JORDAN EVANS, 18, slight boy with brown hair and a nervous energy coming out of everything he does. JORDAN No, Mum...his parents said it was fine...yes, Marks been sailing his whole life...life-jackets on board...I didnt forget my puffer! GIRL Mothers, huh? Jordan turns to see a girl around his age sitting on the grass to his left. She is CHLOE LAMBERT, 17, a cute blonde girl with deep blue eyes, smiling to herself as she throws chips to seagulls, who eat them with glee. She is wearing loose fitting t-shirt and has a cool aura about her. JORDAN Got to go, uh...Kirby. Jordan hangs up hurriedly. JORDAN Mothers? Nah...just this girl...you know how it is. CHLOE You cant fool me, Jord-a-Roo. She throws the last of her chips to the birds and stands up. Jordan blushes as they begin to walk towards the jetty together. JORDAN Im surprised youre not on the boat already; lapping up the luxury. CHLOE Please...its boats like these that are ruining the environment. Unfortunately theres not a lot of ways to head out to Sparrow Island without one.

CONTINUED: JORDAN The perfect catch-22. CHLOE Something like that. BOY Ahoy, me hearties!

Jordan and Chloe look further up the jetty to spot a hulking young man waving to them from the biggest boat of the lot. He is Chloes brother MARK LAMBERT, 19, wavy blonde hair like his sister and hulking biceps on display in his white singlet, standing atop his parents boat Tangaroa. MARK Are we ready, or what? JORDAN Are you sure your parents are OK with you taking their boat? MARK Take? Please. Whats theirs is mine, and whats mine is ours. CHLOE Thats his way of saying no. A skinny brunette walks up behind Mark and puts her arms around him. She is his new girlfriend MICHELLE HELDT, 19, long black hair and petite features that indicate a life of luxury. Her clothes seem more suited to a night out rather than a boat trip. MICHELLE I love a man who plays by his own rules. Michelle kisses him, and Chloe groans. MARK Hear that, Jordie? Stop being such a stickler and maybe youll get a girl like me. Jordan looks at Chloe, and then away quickly. JORDAN Yeah...maybe. Chloe jumps up onto the boat athletically, and extends a hand out to Jordan, who is struggling to place his foot on the side of the moving boat. (CONTINUED)

CHLOE Come on, Superman. Adventure awaits. Jordan takes her hand and awkwardly manages to hop into the boat. JORDAN Isnt adventure a bit of a strong word? Its only a diving trip. MARK Everyday is an adventure when youre with me; you should know that by now. JORDAN Im yet to be convinced. Mark smiles as he starts the boats engine. MARK Well...prepare to learn the hard way!

4. 2. EXT. OCEAN - DAY Mark roars at the wheel as the boat flies out of the harbour and into the sea. Im on a Boat by Lonely Island plays from an iPod dock Michelle dances happily around the deck, singing along to the music from the iPod dock in the cabin. MICHELLE (singing) Im on a boat mother fucker take a look at me! Straight flowing on a boat on the deep blue sea! Jordan raises an eyebrow at the back, and Chloe laughs. JORDAN Shes...an odd one. CHLOE Dont worry. They never tend to last long. Chloe looks back towards the mainland, shrinking into the distance. CHLOE Dead girl walking when we get back. JORDAN I just dont get what he sees in these girls. CHLOE I can see two things. Michelle takes off her top and whips it around and the surf splashes up and wets her. Her large breasts bounce around freely; and Jordan sees an opportunity. JORDAN Well, I think there are more important things to girls than... MARK (yelling) Jordan! The Captain needs you at the wheel! Jordan looks longingly at Chloe before getting up and joining him at the wheel.

MARK Talking to my sister, huh? JORDAN Yeah, um, I... MARK (moving on) Ive got a surprise for you. JORDAN This isnt going to be one of those awkward moments that changes our friendship forever, is it? MARK That depends. Mark points to an island in the distance to their left, which they are now passing. MARK That...is Sparrow Island. JORDAN So whats this...the scenic route? MARK Were not going there...were heading to Rottnest instead. A look of horror crosses Jordans face. JORDAN But...but you said... MARK I know what I said! If I told you the truth, youd never have come! Michelle approaches from behind. MICHELLE Why...whats wrong with Rottnest Island? MARK Nothing, babe. JORDAN Sure, nothing...unless you believe the stories...

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

6.

MICHELLE (wide eyed) What stories!? JORDAN ...like the murderer who lives there. MICHELLE Murderer!? MARK Stop scaring her, man! Its all a load of shit...a rumor spread by fishermen so nobody else will go there. JORDAN I just dont think Im comfortable with this, Mark... MARK Seriously? Toughen up, princess...whats the worst that could happen? JORDAN Ill tell you when the killer is hanging you from the rafters, shall I? MARK OK, look, for fairness sakes, well take a vote. Im a yes, obviously. Babe? Michelle hugs Mark and smiles. MICHELLE I go where Mark goes. MARK Sis? Chloe walks up to the group. CHLOE You know Im in...they say the reef systems out there are amazing. Jordan looks at Chloe, bemused.

(CONTINUED)

7.

JORDAN You knew? CHLOE (smiling) We love you, Jordan...but youve really got to try new things. MARK Rottnest it is, then! JORDAN If anything goes wrong, Im blaming you. MARK Jordan, please. What could possibly go wrong? JORDAN Famous last words. The boat speeds away into the distance.

8. 3. EXT. ROTTNEST ISLAND BAY - DAY The boat slows down as they approach the island, which appears wild and uninhabited. The mainland is no longer visible. MARK Doesnt look so scary, does it? CHLOE It looks amazing...check that out! A pod of dolphin swim past the boat. They slowly approach a beautiful looking reef. MICHELLE Its beautiful! CHLOE Stop the boat...now! Mark does so, and Chloe begins to strip off her clothes. Jordans eyes bulge at the sight of Chloe in her underwear. CHLOE If I dont get right in there now, I may actually kill myself. Chloe points to the other set of diving gear. CHLOE You coming in, Mark? MARK Sure, I... JORDAN Ill go! They look at him, surprised. MARK You? Actually going in? JORDAN Somebody once said I need to try new things. Chloe smiles at him as he begins to take off his shirt. CHLOE Im impressed! Jordan grins nervously. (CONTINUED)

9.

MARK Ill be impressed when he comes back in one piece. Jordan pulls a face at his friend. JORDAN Thanks for the vote of confidence. CUT TO - EXT. BACK OF BOAT Jordan and Chloe, both in their swimsuits and diving gear, prepare to dive down into the ocean. MARK Remember to breathe deep...dont come up too fast...dont panic... CHLOE Hell be fine...hes with me. Mark pats Jordan on the back, and watches as Chloe jumps into the water. She surfaces near Jordan. CHLOE What are you waiting for!? She dives down. Jordan nervously slips off the back, and falls into the water ungraciously.

10.

4. INT. OCEAN - DARKNESS The two slowly make their way through the colorful and exotic coral. A large fish bursts out at Jordan who recoils in shock, and appears to be panicking. Chloe takes his hand and smiles; he returns it as they continue down. Jumanji Drums begin to play; progressively getting louder. Chloe and Jordan look at each other, eyebrows raised, and nod. They begin to swim towards the sound of drums. Finally, they come across a large chest. CUT TO - INT. BOAT Mark and Michelle fall back against each other, naked and sweating. They have clearly just had sex. MICHELLE Oh...baby. MARK The first of many; this trip is going to blow your fucking mind. MICHELLE Mmm...I hope so! Michelle kisses Mark, and it seems as though they are going to do it again, when a voice rings out. CHLOE Hey...give us a hand! Mark grabs his shorts and pulls them on, running to the back of the boat. Chloe and Jordan have one hand on the chest each and are struggling to hold it up. MARK What the hell is that? JORDAN Well tell you when we know. Mark leans down and grabs the chest, swinging it onto the deck with impressive ease. He grabs Chloe and then Jordan, helping them back onto the boat. MICHELLE (scared) Is it dangerous?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

11.

CHLOE Whatever it is, its musical...we could hear drums. MARK Drums? I think the dive got to you. MICHELLE Shh! Listen! Michelle leans next to the chest; the soft beating of drums can indeed be heard. MICHELLE Thats so weird! MARK Right...lets open her up. Mark grabs a small fire axe from the cabin. JORDAN (nervously) Maybe we shouldnt open it. It could be dangerous! MARK And so could global warming. Isnt gonna stop me from deodorizing. Mark swings the axe and breaks the lock. He moves to open it but Chloe blocks him. CHLOE Hey! Finders keepers, bro. Mark steps aside, and Chloe slowly begins to open the chest. MARK Come on...give me the killers treasure... CHLOE ...ancient artifacts... MICHELLE (loudly) A new iPod! Chloe rolls her eyes as she opens the chest...revealing an old board game. Mark instantly looks disappointed as Chloe takes it out and places it on the deck.

12.

MARK Wow...biggest anticlimax since the Lost finale. CHLOE Shh! Chloe examines the game closely. She runs her hands over the carvings tenderly. JORDAN What is it? CHLOE Jumanji... She opens the game and her eyes widen with surprise and excitement. CHLOE ...a game for those who seek to find a way to leave their world behind. Roll the dice to move the token, doubles mean another turn, the first player to reach the end wins. MICHELLE Ooh, a game! Can we play? MARK You cant be serious. MICHELLE What? Why not? MARK I havent played board games since I was twelve. JORDAN This doesnt exactly look like Mousetrap, Mark. CHLOE Hes right...look at the tokens...are these real ivory? That is disgusting! The four pick up one token each and examine them.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

13.

JORDAN Who would put ivory in a board game? MICHELLE (shrugging) Mattel? MARK This is stupid. Mark throws down his token, and the others follow. As if by magic, the tokens shake and fly to each corner of the board. MICHELLE Wow! Did you see that!? JORDAN Thats odd...we must have tripped the magnets or something. Chloe tries to take the token off but it wont budge. CHLOE Strong magnets, Ill give them that. MICHELLE Mark...can we play...please? MARK Babe, were out at Rotto at you want us to waste our day on some kids game? Michelle pouts her lips out. MICHELLE (pleading) Please? MARK No, I... MICHELLE No sex until we play. MARK Do you really think that I... Michelle looks at Mark with unnerving eyes, and he relents. He sits down with the other three around the board.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

14.

MARK ...fine. If itll make you happy. Michelle snuggles up next to him, delighted to have gotten her way. MICHELLE Youre the best! JORDAN Who wants to go first? MICHELLE Ooh, me! Me! Michelle detaches herself from Mark, grabs the dice and rolls them as fast as she can. She rolls a 4 and a 3. MICHELLE (smiling) Seventh heaven. JORDAN Wow! Check it out! The piece moves around the board by itself. The four lean in to the middle of the board; eerie green text seems to be floating in the black nothingness. CHLOE What does it say? MICHELLE (reading) Sharp teeth rip...and blood will seep...feared by all...into the deep. The group look at each other, shocked. A large shadow passes underneath the boat. MARK (impressed) Awesome! Fucking oath its not like Mousetrap! JORDAN What happens now? Suddenly, the boat shakes as something large smashes into the side. Michelle screams, and Mark jumps up.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

15.

MICHELLE What was that?! The group make their way to the side of the boat, where a large dent has been made. MARK Aw, man! My boat! CHLOE Its not your boat. Mark grabs a fishing spear from the floor and circles the boat, looking for the culprit. MARK Whatever it was...its dead. Mark walks to the edge and looks down. He turns back to the other three. MARK When Dad sees the dent, hes gonna kill me. Before Mark can finish his sentence, the boat is rammed again. Mark flies backwards over the side of the boat. CHLOE (screaming) Mark! The three run to the side, where Mark emerges about 5m from the boat. JORDAN You OK? MARK Fine... MICHELLE (screaming) Behind you! Its Jaws! Michelle points behind Mark, where a huge dorsal fin has appeared, making its way towards Mark. He begins to swim towards the back of the boat while the others yell out loud. JORDAN Hurry! Go, Mark!

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

16.

CHLOE Come on! Mark makes it to the back and jumps onto the boat just as the massive shark rears its head and clamps down onto the engine. The screams of the four are drowned out by the screeching sound of the engine snapping off and being dragged down into the depths by the shark. MICHELLE (holding Mark) Thank God youre OK! MARK Im fine...nearly had the stupid fish. JORDAN What the hell was that!? CHLOE It looked like a Great White...biggest one Ive ever seen... MARK You dont say. Mark looks towards the game. MARK Sharp teeth? Blood will seep? Mark lunges over and grabs the dice, and rolls them. He gets a 3 and a 2, and his token begins to move. MICHELLE (indignant) What did you do that for?! MARK Nobody attacks Mark Lambert and doesnt let him take a swing back. CHLOE Read it out...hurry! MARK (reading) Enjoy the calm...before the storm...but just beware...its not the norm.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

17.

MICHELLE The storm? What storm? The four look up at the perfectly fine sky. Jordan turns his head to the East, and gulps. JORDAN That cant be good. The four look up in horror as storm clouds begin to roll in, seemingly from nowhere. The wind picks up dramatically, and the waves begin to crash into the side of the boat. MARK Weve got to get to shore! CHLOE And how do you propose we do that with no engine, genius? JORDAN Look out! Jordan points towards a large wave that is coming their way. It buffets them all and throws a screaming Michelle out of the boat. Rain is now pouring, and the sound of thunder and flash of lightning dominates the scene. MARK Michelle! The waves buffet the boat around easily, and Jordan vomits onto the deck. He spots the game and instinctively grabs it, closing it up and holding it to his chest. MARK Hold on! Were gonna hit the... Marks sentence cuts short as the boat smashes into the reef. The three are thrown into the unruly ocean.

18.

5. EXT. BEACH - DAY Jordans eyes fly open and he looks around; he has washed up on the beach. Looking up, the storm has disappeared, and the boat lays at the bottom of the reef. MARK Hey...buddy...you OK? Mark stands behind his friend looking in decent shape. JORDAN Yeah...Im fine. Jordan sits up, looking around for Chloe in panic. JORDAN Is Chl...is everyone OK? MARK It could have been a lot worse. Mark points further down the beach, where Chloe seems to be comforting a bleeding and crying Michelle. MARK You mind telling me what the hell just happened? JORDAN Why would I know? MARK You find some crazy beating chest at the bottom of the reef...and then Im attacked by a shark, and a freak storm fucks us right over? JORDAN Coincidence. MARK You saw the clues...the game sent those things! JORDAN A game sending things to attack people? Thats ridiculous...not to mention illogical...we should be more worried about getting home. Mark looks slightly guilty.

19.

MARK Now, dont blow your top, but... JORDAN You did alert the Coast Guard of your change in plans, didnt you? MARK Not exactly. For the first time, Jordan looks angry. JORDAN Not exactly? Mark, were stuck on Rottnest Island with no food, no water, and nobody knows where we are! MARK Dude...you need to chill. JORDAN I told you this was a bad idea, didnt I? You think youd listen to me, but noooooo! Chloe waves from the distance, able to tell that the two are fighting. CHLOE Can you two put your dicks away for a second and come over here? Mark and Jordan angrily make their way towards Chloe, who points to an object on the beach. It is the game, still completely intact. MARK Son of a bitch... MICHELLE (upset) Take it away! It made us crash! JORDAN No, an extreme cold front made us crash. Lets not go crazy. CHLOE A cold front here? At this time of year? Dont bother arguing about the climate with me, Jordan.

Chloe opens up the game, and points to the other side of the game from the initial instructions. CHLOE Besides, you havent read what I just did. MARK The other side? Adventurers beware; do not begin unless you intend to finish. The exciting consequences of the game will vanish only when a player has reached Jumanji and called out its name. JORDAN Its? CHLOE That wasnt what I meant. Chloe takes out a note from her pocket. CHLOE This was stuck in the corner of the game...its pretty heavy stuff. Chloe hands the note to Mark. MARK (reading) If you are reading this...DO NOT ROLL THE DICE. This game is pure evil and any attempts at playing it will only lead to pain and suffering for all involved. MICHELLE Oh, God... MARK ...however, if you read this after youve begun to play...take this advice. Forget logic, forget reality...this game is real. Work together, stay alive. Thats how we won the game...there is hope for you yet. Its signed Sarah Whittle and Alan Parrish, 1969. Mark crumples up the note and throws it away.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

21.

MARK I told you its real. JORDAN ...its not. Ill prove it. Jordan grabs the dice and rolls them quickly. He gets a 5 and a 4. MICHELLE What have you done!? JORDAN Look...Im winning already! They all lean in to watch the eerie green text appear. JORDAN Beware of the ground on which you stand, the beach is quicker than the sand. CHLOE The beach...it knows where we are? JORDAN Can we stop referring to the game as an it? Michelle screams out loud as the very sand they are on begins to consume them; the beach is now quicksand. Chloe manages to grab the game and roll to safety, but the others are already waist deep. MARK Now do you believe me!? JORDAN Not the time, Mark! CHLOE Stop moving! Quicksand pulls you down quicker the more you move. Chloe stands up and runs to a palm tree, breaking off a strong branch. CHLOE (calm) Now, Im going to pull you out one by one...nice and easy...

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

22.

MICHELLE (screaming) Me first! Me first! Chloe extends the branch to Michelle, who grabs it and starts trying to swim through. She bumps into Mark and forces him further down. MARK Watch it, Michelle! Michelle sighs in relief as she is lifted onto safe ground. CHLOE Jordan, your turn. Chloe calmly extends it to Jordan, who expertly uses it to help himself out. Marks head is nearly underneath when Chloe extends it to him. CHLOE Come on, Mark...its right there. Just grab it! Mark grunts in effort as his hands burst through the sand and grab onto the branch. He is helped out just as his head is going under. The four collapse onto the ground out of breath. Mark rolls over and kisses his sister on the cheek. MARK You...you saved us. CHLOE ...for now. Chloe looks at the game. CHLOE We have to finish the game. MICHELLE (scared) Why? CHLOE Help wont come in time...weve got no food and no water. If what the instructions says is true...that the consequences of the game will be reversed when its finished...then well get the boat back.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

23.

JORDAN How can you be sure? CHLOE I cant...but what other choice do we have? The four look at each other in acceptance. MARK Shes right. CHLOE Never thought Id hear you utter those words, bro. Chloe grabs the board game. CHLOE But Id be happier facing the game away from the quicksand, thank you. Michelle looks back at the quicksand with a frightened look on her face. MICHELLE Ill second that.

24.

6. EXT. CLEARING - DAY The group make their way into a large clearing in the thick scrub of the island. A small river flows down one side. Chloe sets the game down in the middle and they sit down. MICHELLE (scared) What else will come out if we keep playing? JORDAN Look at the cover...its got monkeys, elephants, rhinos...and some guy? Jordan points to the picture of Van Pelt. MICHELLE Who do you think he is? JORDAN Whoever he is, I hope he can help. Chloe grabs the dice and rustles them in her hands. CHLOE Personally, Im praying for the monkeys. Chloe rolls the dice, and gets a 2 and 1. Her piece moves along, and they lean in to read the text. CHLOE Marching strong...almost unseen...bite burns like fire...God save the Queen. Before they can react, the game begins to lift off the ground as a large dirt mound emerges from the ground. Michelle backs away to the right, as the others back away towards the river. MARK What is it? CHLOE It looks like a big... Small red insects begin to slowly crawl out of the top.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

25.

CHLOE ...ants nest. MARK Huh. I guess not everything in there is dangerous, eh? MICHELLE Ow! My leg! Michelle slaps her leg as one of the ants bite her. MICHELLE It stings like hell! JORDAN Bite burns like fire... Mark, watching the nest, watches it wobble slightly. Something big is about to come out. MARK Into the river...now! The three turn and leap into the river as a begin to pour out of the nest. The sound of snapping just about drowns out the sound of of feet marching along the ground. Michelle block off her route to the river. CHLOE Run, Michelle! Michelle spots a tree at the edge of the clearing and begins to climb up. CHLOE What are you doing!? MICHELLE Ants cant climb. She hesitates, and looks at the others with her mouth open. MICHELLE Can they? The ants begin to crawl up the tree and she screams again. She makes it to a strong branch and crawls across, but she comes to the end and is trapped. Below her, the ants swarm all over the clearing. sea of ants their pincers their millions screams as they

26.

MICHELLE Help me! JORDAN Michelle, look! They arent touching the game! She looks down and sees that it is true; the ants crawl around the game, now fallen off the mound and onto the ground, seemingly unwilling to touch it. Michelle yells as one ant reaches her and bites her. MICHELLE Three...two... Michelle is bit again and yells, throwing herself off the branch. She manages to land on the game and almost loses her balance, but manages to regain it. MARK Yes! MICHELLE Now what?! CHLOE Get ready to run...and dont forget the game! Chloe, Mark and Jordan begin to splash water from the river onto the ants and towards Michelle. The swarm parts, leaving a gap for Michelle to run through, and she takes it. Grabbing the game, she just manages to run into the river as the swarm rejoins, filling the clearing. The tree falls down under the weight of the ants, killing many of the swarm. MICHELLE Thats right, ants! That was all me, baby! Michelle does a celebratory dance, but notices that the others do not look impressed. MICHELLE Whats wrong? CHLOE Ants cant climb...seriously?! MICHELLE I just thought...

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: CHLOE You didnt think! Why did you even come on this trip, anyway? MICHELLE Um, because Im Marks girlfriend. CHLOE More like fuck job.

27.

Michelles jaw drops, and Mark steps in between the two. MARK Hey...nobody talks to her like that...not even you. CHLOE Im sorry, Mark...I guess I just get a bit pissed off when somebody tries to get all of us killed through her stupidity. Chloe storms up the bank and into the bushes on the other side of the river. Jordan quickly follows. MICHELLE Im not stupid, am I? Mark looks at her, but doesnt say anything. He exits the river and follows the others. Michelle looks at the game in her hands and frowns. MICHELLE (sniveling) I dont mean to be. Michelle puts the game on the ground and grabs the dice. MICHELLE Fine. My turn. Michelle rolls the dice, ending up with a 5 and a 3. Her token moves along and she leans in to read the text. MICHELLE Traveling in a pack of eight...feast on your bones...laugh at your fate. Michelle jumps back in fright as something runs through the bushes behind her, but is too fast to be seen. A strange yelp that almost sounds like a laugh can be heard coming from all around her.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

28.

MICHELLE Anybody there? The shape moves around her, but she is again too slow. The laughing continues as she backs away in fear. MICHELLE (scared) Hello? CUT TO - EXT. BUSHES Mark, Chloe and Jordan make their way through the bush. Mark catches up to Chloe and places his hand on her shoulder. MARK You didnt have to be so rude. CHLOE Im not the one being rude, Mark! She might not know any better, but we both know you were going to dump her ass when we got back anyway. MARK (hesitating) ...not necessarily. CHLOE Youve been doing this dance for years now...maybe its time you started to grow up. MARK Yeah? And maybe its time you pulled that stick from your... JORDAN OK, OK! Can we focus on what really matters here? Like the psycho board game that is trying to kill us? MARK Yeah, the game that you two found. Nice going. Chloe turns back to her brother, clearly mad. CHLOE Are you seriously blaming us?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

29.

JORDAN (rolling eyes) Here we go... The bickering is broken by the sound of Michelle screaming. She bursts through the bushes running as fast as she can, game tucked under her arm. MICHELLE Run! Go! JORDAN Why? The answer comes in the form of a large hyena crashing through the bush behind Michelle and chasing her enthusiastically. His eyes are rolling around everywhere, and he is frothing at the mouth. His mad cackling seems to be echoing around the bushes from all directions. JORDAN Hyenas! MARK (sarcastically) Thanks, Captain Obvious. The four begin to run deeper into the bush, but stop as two hyenas cut them off at the front. MARK This way! The group run off towards the left as the hyenas, laughing madly, bound away after them. MARK Whyd you roll without warning us, Michelle!? MICHELLE You werent taking me seriously! JORDAN And you thought this would help!? CHLOE Hey, look at that! In front of the group there seems to be a worn path leading away to the right.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

30.

MICHELLE Lets go! Michelle runs down the path and the others follow. The hyenas are right on their tail, licking their lips hungrily. MICHELLE There! At the end of the path, surrounded by deep bush, seems to a an old log cabin. Michelle gets there first and thrusts open the door. MICHELLE Hurry! Mark reaches first and dives into the cabin, followed by Chloe. The less athletic Jordan is falling behind, with the hyenas nipping at his heels. CHLOE Go, Jordan! Jordan is almost there but loses his footing. One of the hyenas begins to chew on his shoe, but Mark runs forward and kicks him in the head. He yelps and jumps back, and Mark has enough time to drag Jordan into the cabin and slam the door just in time. The sounds of laughing and banging can be heard as the hyena patrol outside. JORDAN T...Thanks. MARK Thats what friends are for, bud. The four get off the floor and begin to look at their surroundings. It is pretty basic; with a table, chairs, wooden bed, a cupboard, and a fireplace. MARK What is this place? JORDAN This must be where he lived... MICHELLE Who? JORDAN The Killer of Rottnest Island...

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: MARK Jordan, there was no killer...and anyway, this could just be some old fishing... JORDAN Then explain these.

31.

Jordan spins around smiling. On the table there is a large collection of old knives. MARK Fisherman need knives. JORDAN Not this size they dont. Jordan picks up the biggest and examines it. JORDAN Trust me...this blade is designed to cut through stronger flesh than a fish. MARK Personal experience? JORDAN Med school, actually. MICHELLE What if he comes back? Like the three bears! JORDAN According to the legend, hes been dead for years. Jordan points to the door, which is shaking. JORDAN And relative to the alternative, Ill take the hut. CHLOE Hyenas are traditionally scavengers, not hunters. If we stay in here long enough theyll go in search of easier food sources. MARK And what happens when they realize were all there is to eat?

CONTINUED:

32.

CHLOE (shrugging) Well have a window to finish the game before they do...I hope. MICHELLE And what do we do before then? I dont do nothing well. CHLOE (grinning) Ill bet. Mark opens the cupboard at the end of the room and grins. MARK Ive got an idea...or three. He produces three bottles full of red liquid from the cupboard and holds it up proudly. MARK This holiday doesnt have to be a complete drag, does it?

7. INT. CABIN - NIGHT The four sit around drinking from getting more than a little tipsy. in the fireplace, lighting up the The banging from outside has died the bottles, clearly A small fire has been lit room in an eerie fashion. down.

MARK ...and anyway, I walked into the room, and there was this skinny little runt sitting by himself at the front, bow-tie and all... CHLOE A bow-tie on the first day of school? Oh my God...your Mom really does hate you! JORDAN (grinning) Shut up! MARK ...so I think to myself...nobody is going to talk to this guy all day...so Id better take one for the team. JORDAN Thats not the way I remember it. MARK Its the way its being told! Anyway, I wanted to talk about the girls in the class, and all he wanted to talk about was... JORDAN ...Stargate. I was going through the second season and it was all I could think about. MARK And, yeah! We bonded. And weve been best mates ever since. Somebody Hallmark that shit. MICHELLE Mark, I didnt know you were a secret nerd!

34.

MARK Me? A nerd? No way! I just liked how he wasnt scared of being himself. Mark raises his bottle and clinks with Jordan. MARK Way too many fake people nowadays. CHLOE You havent told us how you two met, Mark. Mark and Michelle look at each other; Michelle with a look of jealous expectation on her face. MARK Oh, we, um...it was a club, wasnt it babe? MICHELLE (cold) We met at the beach. MARK Ah...I knew it was one of those two. Mark laughs awkwardly as Michelle looks annoyed. JORDAN (slyly) And what do you see in your future? Wedding bells? Michelle smiles. Behind her, Mark makes cutting gestures across his throat. She turns around to him and he quickly stops and smiles as well. MICHELLE Well, I dont like to get too far ahead of myself...but Cleo was saying that my star sign is a good chance of finding true love soon. CHLOE (holding back laughter) Then it must be true! MICHELLE (dreamily) I hope so... (CONTINUED)

A loud hyena laugh comes from somewhere in the night. MARK (glum) We might not even get the chance, babe. The four look across at the board game. MICHELLE Where do you think it came from? CHLOE The markings indicate that... Mark takes a swig out of the bottle and passes it to Chloe. MARK Do you have to be so formal, Chloe? Chloe rolls her eyes and takes a swig, grimacing slightly at the taste. CHLOE Ugh...fine. Well, you dont need to be a genius that most of the things are African themed. MICHELLE And why is it haunting us? JORDAN Because we chose to play. There is a reflective silence. MARK We could throw it in the fire. CHLOE No. You read the letter...the only way out is by finishing the game. MARK But... JORDAN Do you really want to risk burning the game and being stuck with those things?

CHLOE Weve got to play the game all the way to the end. Mark moves to grab the dice, but Chloe stops him. CHLOE Not now...not while its dark out. JORDAN Shes right, man. Mark hesitates before placing the dice down dejectedly. MARK I...I...just want to go home. MICHELLE We all do. The four look away, demoralized. Mark breathes in deep, and smiles to himself. MARK I guess we just got to know when to roll them... Jordan smiles, catching on. He clicks his fingers and sings along. JORDAN ...know when to fold them... Chloe smiles and joins in, as does Michelle. They group sing along as they drink and wave the bottles merrily. CHLOE ...know when to walk away... MICHELLE ...know when to run... The Gambler by Kenny Rogers begins to play in the background ALL (singing) You never count your money...when youre sitting at the table...therell be time enough for countin...when the dealins done. The group laughs as the background music dies down. The smiles on the faces show there is hope yet. (CONTINUED)

CUT TO - INT. CABIN - THREE HOURS LATER Mark and Michelle are cuddled up in the bed. Chloe sits fingering the board while Jordan sits near the fire. JORDAN Can you imagine what it must have been like? CHLOE (looking up) Sorry? JORDAN To have to live here by yourself for years? He must have been...pretty lonely. Jordan walks back towards Chloe and sits next to her. CHLOE Well...he might not have been here alone. JORDAN Seems like a bachelor pad to me. Jordan grins and takes a swig of the bottle, and hands it to Chloe who does the same. JORDAN I just mean...its hard when theres nobody around to...you know. Keep you company; keep you sane. CHLOE Is this about the crush youve had on me since you were 13? Jordan looks taken aback, and Chloe smiles. CHLOE Girls pick up on these things, Jordan. And youre not exactly the most subtle person in the world. JORDAN (blushing) I...uh...

CHLOE See what I mean? I can read you like a book, Jordan Evans. Ive always been able to. JORDAN ...I guess. Jordan looks away shyly. He is clearly inexperienced when it comes to girls. He turns back to her, blushing furiously. JORDAN ...Im sorry. Chloe slinks closer to Jordan on the floor. CHLOE You have nothing to be sorry about! Feelings are feelings because you cant control them...you just have them. We all do... JORDAN But...youre my best friends sister. CHLOE And youre my brothers best friend...so what? JORDAN It...it just wouldnt be right. CHLOE Whats not right is you thinking that! Dont you think Mark would want you to be happy? JORDAN Sure...but you know Mark...he wouldnt be happy with me making a move on his sister! Chloe suddenly leans forward and kisses Jordan, slowly and sweetly. After an initial surprise, he returns the kiss. She stops, and falls away with a smile. CHLOE (whispering) Well...now he doesnt have to worry about you making a move, does he?

Chloe walks to the other side of the room and lays down on the floor to sleep. She smiles to herself, biting her lip, and closes her eyes. Jordan remains seated, mouth open. JORDAN Whoa... On the bed, Mark stares at Jordan as he spoons Michelle from behind. His look is one of betrayal and shock. He closes his eyes with the unhappy look plastered all over his face.

40.

8. EXT. BUSHES - NIGHT The hyenas run through the scrub, and come to the beach. One sniffs the quicksand, and one of the other hyenas slams into his back and pushes him in headfirst. The others cackle as the hyena is sucked down to its death, hind legs madly kicking in the air. One hyena leaves the group and approaches the ocean to bathe in the water when the shark flies up and drags it into the depths. The rest of the pack shriek with laughter and run back into the darkness of the bushes.

41.

9. INT. CABIN - DAWN Jordan is awoken by somebody kicking him roughly in the side. He rolls over and groans in pain. JORDAN Aww...geez! MARK (gruff) Get up. JORDAN Alright...alright...take it easy! Jordan stands; the other three are standing around the table. There seems to be small piles of items. JORDAN Whats this? MARK You wanna survive, right? MICHELLE (brightly) We made survival kits! Jordan surveys the table; there are knives, matches and various other items. JORDAN Whered you get this stuff? CHLOE Some of us came prepared. The rest was in here. Chloe walks up from behind the three and smiles at Jordan; a smile that lingers. Mark grabs his stuff and shoves it in an old backpack from the cabin, and also and the game. CHLOE When the boat was heading for the reef, I grabbed anything I could see that we might need. JORDAN (smiling) Clever thinking. Mark walks in between the two, not very subtly.

MARK Are we playing this, or what? MICHELLE Not here. The three look at Michelle. MICHELLE Well, itd be nice to have a safe place to come back to later if we need it...itll be hard to if its stuck in the ground or covered in ants. CHLOE Well, shes actually got a point. MICHELLE Actually? MARK Right...follow me. Mark walks to the door and tries to listen, but hears nothing. He slowly opens the door...and the coast is clear. Sighing in relief, he walks out and the others follow, closing the door behind them. MICHELLE Theyre gone? CHLOE For now... MARK Lets hope its a good omen.

43.

10. EXT. GRASS PLAIN - DAY The group place the game down and sit around it. Mark grabs the dice and looks around at their surroundings; a grass plain with thick bush either side in the distance; the perfect place to see anything coming. MARK OK...no matter what comes out, we face it together, we beat it together...this ends today. MICHELLE Woot! Go team! MARK Besides, what could be worse than hyenas and killer ants? Weve seen the worst of this game, Ill bet. Mark rolls the dice, rolling a 6 and a 1. Everybody leans in... MARK Youre still playing...not yet dead...want to win?...then keep your head. Mark looks up, confused. He grabs his throat instinctively. MARK Keep my head? CHLOE Maybe its a metaphor? An arrow flies out of the bushes and shoots just past Mark, who falls to the ground with a yell. It hits a tree behind the group, and they stare at it in horror. CHLOE ...or not? The sound of yelling comes out of the bushes as three African tribesmen run out dressed in colorful clothing and paint. The first, MAN #1, is in his 20s, a mean look etched all over his face. The second, MAN #2, is the oldest of the three, his wrinkled features and deep eyes indicating wisdom to match his years. The third, MAN #3, is aged between the two and carries a large spear in his right hand.

MICHELLE I dont think they are here to help... MARK Lets go! Mark grabs Michelle by the hand and leads her into the bushes. Jordan grabs the game, and they begin to run. He grabs Chloe by the hand, who seems to be looking at the men in amazement. JORDAN Come on! CHLOE Wait...theyve lowered their weapons. Jordan continues to tug at her arm, but she stays still. The men get closer and closer, and Jordan closes his eyes in horror. But the men run straight past into the bushes without a second glance back at the two. JORDAN What was that!? They ran past as if we didnt even exist. CHLOE Its because theyre not after us. JORDAN Then who are they after? CUT TO - EXT. BUSHES Mark grabs Michelle and drags her down behind a large tree, the two out of breath. MARK Are they there? MICHELLE I cant hear them. Mark slowly turns his head around the tree; one of the hunters is only a few metres away, back turned. Mark spins back around quickly. MARK Hes right there...look, I want you to run.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: MICHELLE But what will you do? MARK Just go! Back to Chloe and Jordan, OK? Now!

45.

Michelle runs into the bushes and out of sight. Looking back around the tree, the man is gone. Mark sighs and leans back against the tree. CUT TO - EXT. BUSHES Michelle looks back, running deep into the bushes. She suddenly slams into somebody, and falls to the ground with a smile on her face. MICHELLE Jordan! I... She looks up in horror to see that it is one of the African men sent from the game, the younger MAN #1. He looks at her in disgust, and slowly raises his spear as she crawls backwards. He speaks in an odd dialect with a thick accent. MAN #1 (angry) Ek sal jou doodmaak...wit duiwel. She is unable to scream, but closes her eyes as the man begins to bring down his arm. Suddenly, the older MAN #2 grabs his arm from behind and stops his throw. MAN #2 Moet haar doodmaak nie. Sy is nie die een wat ons wil h nie. The first man lowers his spear, but looks angry. MAN #1 Sy is in Jumanji oortree! Sy moet gestraf word! MAN #2 (smiling) Dit is nie Jumanji...die gode het vir ons n taak gegee. Michelle slowly stands up and faces the two. MICHELLE J...Jumanji? The older man turns his head to Michelle and smiles. (CONTINUED)

MAN #2 Sy weet die naam. MAN #1 Sy kan lei ons na hom toe! The older man laughs, and taps his spear. MAN #2 Wat is die pret in die jag? Kom nie. The older man runs into the bushes. The younger man looks at Michelle in disgust, then smiles sadistically. MAN #1 Jy is die eerste vrou wat ek in jare gesien het...ek sal jou deur die einde van die dag. The younger man runs into the bushes as well. Michelle falls to the ground in tears, terrified.

47.

11. EXT. BUSHES - DAY Chloe and Jordan sit in the a patch of bushes on a small rise, overlooking the clearing they were in before. There are tall trees all around them. JORDAN We should go look for them. CHLOE No! This is a good chance for us to get through our moves with less chance of people getting hurt. JORDAN With Michelle not around? CHLOE I didnt say that. Chloe hands Jordan the dice and breathes deep. CHLOE Your turn. Jordan grabs the dice and breathes deep. JORDAN Please let it be something easy...something slow...this game is getting repetitive fast. CHLOE Roll the dice, run for your life, cry in the shower afterwards? JORDAN (grinning) Something like that. Jordan rolls the dice, getting a pair of 5s. JORDAN Double turn...great. CHLOE Youre still winning! JORDAN Lets see... Jordan leans in to read the puzzle.

JORDAN Getting tired of running? Heres a chance to rest. Keeping calm will be your greatest test. CHLOE Well...you got your wish. Jordans eyes open wide, but he resists the temptation to scream. CHLOE What is...oh... Chloe looks behind herself to see a massive python looking at her, hanging down from the large trees overhead. She stares at it straight in the eyes, looking at her reflection. It slowly winds down around her body, and slithers its way towards Jordan, who looks terrified. It hisses menacingly. CHLOE (whispering) Jordan...Jordan...look at me! Jordan manages to tear his eyes away from the snake, and looks straight at Chloe. CHLOE You have to keep calm...see the pattern on its back? Its a Boa Constrictor. Jordans eyes grow wider as the snake slowly begins to wind its way around him. JORDAN (whispering) And you expect me to keep calm!? CHLOE Boas dont attack unless they feel threatened...so keep still. JORDAN I thought they were nocturnal! CHLOE Well...they are...unless they feel threatened.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: JORDAN Oh my God...oh my God...oh my God...

49.

Jordan cries in fear as the snake has now fully enveloped him, and stares at him in the eyes, flickering its knife-like tongue in an intimidating fashion. CHLOE Breathe...breathe...hes sizing you up...just stay still and everything will be...aah! Chloe cries out in pain; evidently, the snake is beginning to constrict. CHLOE For once...aah...I wish you were skinnier... Jordan also cries out as the snake begins to squeeze the life out of him. JORDAN Chloe...Im sorry! CHLOE Its...aah! Its not your fault... JORDAN Im sorry I didnt have...aah...longer with you... Jordan cries out again as the world begins to turn black. VOICE (screaming) Jordan! Jordan turns to the right as far as he can to see a blurred shape running towards him with knife raised. The snake, constricting the two, is unable to dodge her as she grabs it around the neck and plunges her knife into its head. The snake immediately lets go of the two and begins to turn, but not before Michelle plunges her knife into its head again. MICHELLE Not...my...friends! Michelle is about to deal the killer blow when the snake dodges the blade and bites her hand on the wrist. She cries out, and Jordan jumps forward to grab the knife. He finishes off the snake by stabbing it through the brain. It drops off Michelles arm and to the ground. (CONTINUED)

CHLOE Michelle! Are you OK? Michelle smiles and points to the large metallic band she has on her wrist. MICHELLE Ive always said that good fashion saves lives. The three stand up and hug together. Jordan inspects her arm, which surprisingly seems to be intact. JORDAN No entry wound...I guess fortune favors the brave after all. CHLOE Boas arent poisonous anyway... Chloe looks down at the dead snake with sadness. CHLOE It was only doing what snakes do. JORDAN Hey...were playing by the games rules...its not our fault. Jordan turns to Michelle. JORDAN Wheres Mark? MICHELLE He told me to run...I figured hed come back to the clearing. CHLOE But how did you find your way back? MICHELLE The sun! Its easy enough to use if you know how. CHLOE Sure, but... MICHELLE Just because Im a girly girl, doesnt mean my Dad didnt used to take me on camping trips.

51.

JORDAN Well...thanks. There is an awkward silence between the three. CHLOE Yeah...look, Michelle...Im sorry about what I said before. Maybe I was wrong...about you. MICHELLE (smiling) Maybe if we live long enough, youll be able to find out. Jordan looks at the game. JORDAN Should I roll again? Chloe looks at the snake and shudders. CHLOE Maybe we should find Mark first.

52. 12. EXT. BUSHES - DAY The unspoken African man, MAN #3, slowly makes his way through the bushes towards a tree, which has Marks backpack hung from it. He sniffs it, and looks around. Picking up his spear, he turns around suddenly and hurls it into the bushes. What follows is the yelp of a dying hyena, and the laughter of the rest of the pack, which seems to be coming from all directions. MAN #3 Lag hond... The pack bursts through the bushes and run at the man, tongues wagging in the breeze. He turns and runs through the bushes, but not very far. He runs straight into the sea of ants, which begin to climb up his legs and bite him relentlessly. MAN #3 (screaming) Vuur duiwels! Nee! The ants crawl up the mans legs and continue to bite, when he jumps back out of the sea and into the bushes. On his back, he is brushing the ants off and screaming when a large drop of drool hits him in the forehead. He looks up to see the remaining hyenas looking at him. MAN #3 Ontferm, honde...vir Jumanji. The hyenas roar and begin to devour the man alive, sharp teeth ripping his flesh from bone with ease. His screams ring out as Mark slips out and grabs his backpack from the ground. He runs into the bushes, with the hyena too busy eating their prey. CUT TO - EXT. BUSHES Michelle, Chloe and Jordan make their way carefully towards the sound of the yelping hyenas. MICHELLE Do you think thats him? CHLOE Mom always said if you ever needed to find Mark, follow the noise... They peer through the bushes, where they can see the hyena tearing the flesh off the dead man. He is clearly dead, with much bone visible underneath the eaten flesh.

MICHELLE Gross! CHLOE Shh! The three cant turn their heads away from the horrible scene. So much so, in fact, that they dont notice that somebody else has joined them. MARK One less guy to worry about, right? MICHELLE Shh! Oh...Mark! Michelle hugs Mark, and he smiles. Chloe hugs him as well, and Jordan puts his hand out to high-five him. He looks at Jordan, but does not return the gesture. MICHELLE I thought you were dead! MARK So did I. Mark looks at Jordan. MARK You finished the game yet, or what? JORDAN (grinning) We thought itd be rude to keep going without you. Mark stares at Jordan; still upset about what he saw last night. MARK Well, lets get to it. Behind the bushes, the hyenas are nearly finished with their meal. MARK I dont know about you guys, but I dont want to be around when they polish off lunch. The four begin to leave when Chloe hears a pained howl coming from behind some bushes.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

54.

CHLOE Wait...whats that? Chloe walks around to side to see that the sound is coming from a small hyena pup, which has been impaled by the hunters spear. It is howling weakly and crying by itself. Chloes face falls immediately. CHLOE Oh my God...poor thing! Chloe begins to walk towards it with purpose. MARK Chloe...what are you doing!? CHLOE Look at him, Mark; hes in pain. MARK Hes a stupid board game dog! Leave him! CHLOE Have some compassion; he didnt ask to be here. Chloe bends over and pats the pup, which looks at her with curiosity. JORDAN Is this about killing the snake? MARK What snake? Chloe ignores them, and begins to pull the spear out. The pup howls in pain as it comes out. CHLOE (soothing) Shh...its OK...its OK...its out now... The pup raises its head and growls lightly as Chloe grins. Before she can react, it jumps forward and bites down on her hand; hard. She screams and tries to pull away, but the pup bites down harder. MARK Fucking dog!

Mark runs forward and grabs the spear off the ground. He stabs it down into the pup twice, and it rolls over and dies. Chloe tears her hand away and holds it, bleeding profusely. Jordan runs over and grabs her as she cries. JORDAN Are you OK? CHLOE (crying) It hurts...and hes dead... MARK You cant take it easy on these things, Chloe. They arent taking it easy on us. Chloe nods her head at Mark, who nods appreciatively at Jordan, who helps her up. The group make their way through the bushes, looking around for signs of more hyena.

56. 13. EXT. STREAM - DAY Jordan helps Chloe lower her hands down into a stream, washing the blood away. She winces in pain at the slightest movement. Mark and Michelle lean against a tree watching them. MICHELLE You saw them last night, didnt you? Mark looks at Michelle in surprise. MICHELLE Its why youre being such a dick to Jordan, isnt it? MARK That and the hunters, I guess. MICHELLE I dont see why the idea upsets you so much. MARK Hes my friend, babe...shes my sister. MICHELLE So? Wouldnt this be a good way to stay close to both of them...forever? Mark goes quiet as he contemplates this idea. MICHELLE And besides...look at them. Can you really tell me that its such a bad thing? Jordan tenderly looks at the wound on Chloes hand. She looks up at him and grins through the pain. MARK Shes my little sister. Its not his job to protect her. MICHELLE Its not yours either, Mark. Maybe its time you let her make her own decisions? Jordan continues to treat Chloe, and steals a glance back at Mark; whose expression has softened somewhat. (CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

57.

MARK Maybe youre right... MICHELLE Youre damn right I am! Lifes too short to hold grudges. Michelle looks back at Mark, seemingly building up to something. MICHELLE While were alone...can I ask you something? MARK Shoot. MICHELLE Is it true that youre going to dump me if we...when we get back? He now looks at her with a tinge of nervousness. MARK What makes you think that? MICHELLE I overheard you talking about it with Chloe before the trip. Michelle looks like she is going to cry. Mark grabs her by the face and looks at her closely. MARK Look...Ive been a dick in the past, I dont deny that. But its going to take something huge to make me break up with a girl who just saved my sister and best friend from a giant fuck off snake. Mark kisses Michelle passionately, and she kisses him back. CHLOE (calling out) Get a room, you two! They stop kissing, and look back. Chloe and Jordan have laid the game out next to the stream and are ready to play. Her hand has been bandaged roughly. She seems to he holding the hand loose, as if in great pain. Mark and Michelle, holding hands, walk towards the two and sit down around the game.

MARK So...its Chloes turn, right? JORDAN I rolled a double...so its me again. Mark counts the spaces on the board. He shoots Jordan an encouraging grin and pats him on the back. MARK Youre killing it, man! Only 13 spaces away! JORDAN Lets hope I roll a 13 then! MICHELLE But theres... Michelle pulls up; she is getting sharper. MICHELLE (laughing) Ah. I get it. Jordan grins and rolls the dice, scoring a 5 and a 4. His piece moves ever closer to the end of the game. MICHELLE Only 4 to go! CHLOE Read the clue. Jordan leans in close. JORDAN Smells buzzards, lays eggs, grows feathers and flies; waiting patiently for your grim demise. Mark stands up and grabs the spear. MARK Grim demise? That cant be good. CHLOE Its OK...look. Chloe points up in the air, where several large birds are flying and landing on the trees around the group.

CHLOE Vultures... MICHELLE Are they dangerous? CHLOE Not as long as were alive. MICHELLE (gulping) Thats a nice thought. Your turn, Chloe. Chloe grabs the dice and goes to roll, but recoils in pain. Jordan looks at her, concerned. She is still holding her hand, and she has a slight sweat on her brow. JORDAN Are you OK? CHLOE (gritted teeth) Im fine. Just not used to being bitten by hyenas, thats all. She rolls the dice. She gets a 4 and a 2. Her piece moves, and she leans in to read the clue. CHLOE They grow much faster than bamboo. Take care or theyll come after you. MICHELLE Giant panda? JORDAN Not the worst guess youve had all day. The group suddenly look at the game; the dice are wobbling on the board. The ground begins to shake slightly, and they stand up. MICHELLE Earthquake? CHLOE They grow...

MARK There! Mark points to a crack that has opened up, and a massive vine begins to sneak its way out. It recoils slightly, as though adjusting to the sunlight, but begins to sneak its way towards the game. MARK Grab the game! MICHELLE Ive got it! Michelle dives forward and grabs the game, closing it and moving back. Unfortunately, the vine shoots faster and grabs her around the ankle, squeezing hard! MICHELLE Its got me! Help! JORDAN Mark, your knife! Jordan and Chloe dive forward and grab her by the hands as the vine begins to drag her towards the hole in the dirt. Mark reaches into his pocket to pull out a knife, but is startled by a new shoot of the plant which pops up out the ground next to him. It has a large purple flower on it. Before he can react, it shoots a barb straight into his neck. MARK Aah! JORDAN Mark, where are you!? CHLOE Help us! Mark grabs his neck, and falls to the ground nearly instantly. The vultures above flap their wings in anticipation. Jordan manages to steal a look back to see Mark on his back, not moving, large barb still poking out of his neck. JORDAN (yelling) Marks down!

MICHELLE Pull harder! Michelle is slowly being pulled backwards, seemingly unable to get away. MICHELLE (screaming) I dont want to be killed by some overgrown pot plant! Chloe looks down at the vine. CHLOE Michelle...its got you by the foot! Slide out of your shoe! MICHELLE But these are... CHLOE Now! Michelle desperately wiggles her foot, and manages to get free. The vine shoots down the hole with only the shoe being held. There seems to be a low rumble, almost a belch, from below. Michelle stands up, game still firmly in her grasp. Chloe falls to the ground in exhaustion. MICHELLE What was that thing? JORDAN I dont want to stick around to find out. The ground shakes, as though the vine is about to make a reappearance. MICHELLE Mark!? Michelle points to the spot where Mark was laying a few seconds previously; he is no longer there. MICHELLE Where the hell is he!? JORDAN He was just there, I swear...

MICHELLE Shh! Michelle puts a finger to her lips and Jordan obliges. In the distance, the sound of men crashing through the bushes can be heard. MICHELLE They got him! They got Mark! JORDAN The hunters? MICHELLE Who else!? JORDAN OK...relax, Michelle. Panicking wont help anyone... MICHELLE Im coming, Mark! Michelle bounds away into the bushes. Cursing, Jordan turns back to Chloe. JORDAN Weve got to go after...Chloe!? Oh my God, Chloe! Chloe is still down on the ground, holding her hand and looking rather ill. She turns around and vomits, dropping to the ground completely. Jordan leans down next to her. JORDAN Are you OK? CHLOE (panting) Im...fine. Go after those two. JORDAN Not without you...let me have a look. Jordan slowly unwraps the bandage, and makes a face at the sight of the wound. It seems to have an unnatural puss coming from it and does not look healthy. JORDAN This wound is infected...this needs to be treated, now.

CONTINUED:

63.

CHLOE No...we need to...go after... JORDAN Youre no use to anyone dead, Chloe! And God only knows what those hyenas were carrying. And...Ive only just got you...theres no way Im losing you already. Jordan bends over and picks Chloe up in his arms. He strains under the weight; a boy not used to playing hero. CHLOE ...we dont have anything to use...dont waste time... JORDAN I know where we can find some, dont worry. Ive got this. Jordan carries Chloe out of the clearing. The vine slowly pokes its way out of the hole, and slowly makes its way to the river, as if drinking.

64. 14. EXT. BUSHES - DUSK Michelle, still with game in hand, continues to run through the bushes. A piece of cloth is stuck on a branch, and Michelle grabs it. MICHELLE (to herself) Hold on, Mark. Im coming. CUT TO - INT. CABIN - DUSK Jordan slowly lowers a sleeping Chloe onto the bed inside the cabin. Outside, we can see a stunning sunset shining through the door. Chloe wakes up as Jordan runs his hands through her hair, and proceeds to wipe the sweat off her forehead. CHLOE Jordan...Im tired... JORDAN You need to try to stay awake, OK? Im going to go get you help. CHLOE ...there is no help...were stuck here... JORDAN There was a first aid kit on the boat. It wont be much, but it might be enough to keep you...safe...until we can find Michelle and finish the game. CHLOE ...but... JORDAN Shh. Just trust me. Jordan leans in and kisses Chloe softly and passionately. He brushes his hand through her hair for good measure. JORDAN Save your strength, OK? I wont be long...I promise. Jordan leaves the cabin, closing the door behind him. Chloe, sweating profusely, moans in pain on the bed, clutching her hand. CUT TO - EXT. CAMP - NIGHT (CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

65.

The sun has now fully set, and Michelle makes her way towards the smoke of a camp fire in the bushes. Ducking down next to a tree, she can see the two men sitting around a camp fire with a large pot on it. MICHELLE (whispering) Where are you, baby? She slowly walks around the camp, trying to get a better view of the site. There is a makeshift shelter on one side of the camp. As she works around, she spots something; Marks legs sticking out of the shelter, tied together with vines. MICHELLE Mark! She goes to walk towards the camp, but stops as she again looks at the two men. Thinking, she grabs a rock from the ground and hurls it through the night. It lands in the bushes on the other side of the clearing. The two men are instantly to their feet, weapons at the ready. The older man nods, and they begin to make their way into the bushes. Michelle does not hesitate; she runs into the camp and to the shelter. She grabs Marks leg and begins to pull him out. MICHELLE I told you Id find you...weve got to get back to the other and...and... Michelles face turns from delight to horror in an instant as she looks at Mark. MICHELLE (screaming) Mark! Marks headless body stares back at Michelle, and she lets go of it immediately. The jagged stump on his neck bleeds slowly over his naked torso. She backs away in terror, finding herself next to the campfire. Looking into the pot, she screams again, this time louder. MICHELLE (screaming) No! Marks head, now partially shrunken, is bubbling away in the boiling water. His eyes stare out at Michelle, look at pain etched on his face forever. His mouth has been sewn together and there is a distinct green tinge to his shrunken face. (CONTINUED)

66.

MAN #1 Die sy duiwel! Michelle looks across the fire as the younger man, the one who threatened her earlier, stares at her with rage etched across his face. Michelle does not hesitate, running back past Marks corpse and into the bushes. MICHELLE (hysterical) No...no...no...this cant be happening...Mark... Michelle crashes straight into the second, and older, man. Rather than scream, she falls to the ground and continues to cry meekly. He looks down at her, but doesnt kill her. As she looks up, he rolls his wrists as though rolling a dice, and then shakes his head. MAN #2 (reassuring) Moenie bang wees nie...jy is veilig. Hy sal jou nie seermaak nie. An angry voice rings out from behind Michelle; that of the younger man. He seems to be arguing with the older tribesman. MAN #1 Sy is myne. The older man shakes his head again. MAN #2 Ons het wat ons het. Die wedstryd is verby. The young man looks disgusted, and points his finger at his own chest. MAN #1 (extravagantly) Ek is meer as n speletjie! MAN #2 (sullen) Niemand is groter as die spel. The older man takes out his dagger in a sign of dominance, and the younger man retreats into the camp. He turns back to her and waves her away, as if dismissing her.

MAN #2 Gaan. Gaan voor... The man is cut off as the younger mans dagger forces its way through his chest and out the other side, before being crudely taken out again. He drops to the ground, immediately killed. Michelle screams as the younger man looks at her and smiles, walking towards her with devilish purpose. MAN #1 Jy is myne, sy duiwel. MICHELLE Get away from me! Michelle jumps to her feet and begins to run into the bushes. The man licks his lips and begins to chase her.

68. 15. EXT. BEACH - NIGHT Jordan side-steps the quicksand and walks onto the beach, looking out at the boat wreck on the reef. Breathing deep, he enters the water, and begins to swim out towards it. JORDAN For Chloe...for Chloe...you can do this. A large shadow swims beneath Jordan, but he fails to notice. Reaching the boat, he sighs in relief and dives down. The boats contents are scattered on the ocean floor, and he begins to search through them. Running out of air, he swims back to the surface. JORDAN One more dive...no time left... He dives back down, and in the moonlight, spots the red plastic casing of the first aid kit. As he dives for it though, he is cut off by the shark, which swims directly below him. Jordan, panicked, tries to swim back to the surface, but the shark is right on his tail. Just as it is about to bite down on his leg, the much larger Jumanji shark flies out of the darkness and bites into the sharks side, taking it with ease into the depths. All that is left behind is the blood of the shark. Jordan quickly dives down and grabs the first aid kit, and makes it back to the shore. Looking back towards the large fin, he manages a smile while shivering on the shore. JORDAN Im never eating tuna again. Jordan turns and runs off the beach and back into the darkness of the bushes. CUT TO - INT. BUSHES - NIGHT Michelle crashes through the bushes in complete terror, with the sound in the background indicating the man is not far behind her. Ducking behind a tree, she stays completely silent. MAN #1 (taunting, off-screen) Jy kan nie van my verberg. As the footsteps get ever closer, Michelle puts the game on the ground in desperation and grabs the dice. She notices for the first time that Marks token has demagnetized and is laying on its side.

MICHELLE Please...help me... She rolls, getting a 1 and a 4. Just as she is about to read the clue, she is grabbed from behind and thrown to the ground on the other side of the tree, screaming her head off and throwing her arms around in protest. MICHELLE (screaming) No! Let me go! The man looks down at her with devilish eyes, holding her down with ease, and rips her top off with his knife. He stares down at her exposed breasts with sickening glee. MICHELLE No! The man places down his knife and begins to fondle Michelle aggressively. She kicks him in the groin and begins to run, but he grabs her by the ankle and tears her down again. In an instant, he is on top of her and trying to rip off her pants. MICHELLE (hysterical) Fuck off! Fuck off! No! On the other side of the tree, the clue is being written out for nobody to read. JUMANJI A mountain on which you can not climb, a river in which you can not swim. The fiery pits of hell await, without the gates or evil hymn. Without warning, the ground begins to shake again, but a thousand times worse than that of the living plant. The man and Michelle both look a short distance to their right, where large cracks are appearing in the ground.

16. EXT. BUSHES - NIGHT Jordan runs through the bushes and onto the path when the ground beneath him begins to shake slightly, and loud banging sounds come from the distance. Looking up the path towards the cabin, and then back towards where Michelle is, Jordan makes his choice; he runs to the cabin. CUT TO - INT. CABIN - NIGHT Jordan runs in and kneels by Chloe, who now looks very ill indeed. She is completely devoid of color, and her breathing is very shallow. JORDAN Chloe...I got it. Jordan begins to rummage through the first aid kit, and begins to dab the wound with iodine. CHLOE ...Jordan... JORDAN Ill clean the wound, apply some...you can take some penicillin... CHLOE ...Jordan. Jordan stops and looks at her, hugely upset. Apparently he can tell his efforts have been futile. CHLOE ...this...isnt going to help. Jordan, in tears, holds her hands tight. JORDAN I wont leave you. CHLOE Jordan...dont be stupid... JORDAN Im not...I...I love you. CHLOE Then...finish the game.

JORDAN Finish the game? CHLOE ...the consequences of the game...only way to stop...finish...game... Chloe drifts out of consciousness again, and Jordan jumps to his feet straight away. Running from the cabin, he makes a beeline for the sound of the loud noises in the distance. CUT TO - EXT. BUSHES - NIGHT The man stares in horror as the hole in the ground grows larger, the glow of fiery red emanating from the depths. MAN #1 (scared) Wat het jy gedoen? Wat het jy gedoen?! The man moves his knife to Michelles throat, still on top of her. He is standing up slightly, and Michelle has a clear view of his makeshift belt, which contains his weapons. MAN #1 Ons sterf saam, sy duiwel. MICHELLE Not today... Michelle grabs a dart from the mans belt, and stabs it into his thigh. He drops the knife in pain and roars in surprise, dropping to the ground and convulsing. He stops moving and lays motionless, besides his eyes which move back and forth in anger. MICHELLE Game over, asshole. Michelle grabs the knife off the ground and rams it straight through the mans throat, leaving it there for effect. His eyes roll back and he dies, frozen to the spot. Michelles focus now turns to the hole opening up only metres from her. MICHELLE Oh my God... Michelle stands up and stares as the hole widens as the ground cracks up. Peering down, a hot sea of lava is slowly making its way up towards the surface.

JORDAN (yelling out) Michelle! Michelle looks behind her to see Jordan waving at her from the bushes. JORDAN Hurry! Lets get out of here! Michelle nods, and runs behind the tree to grab the game. She closes it, and runs to Jordan just as the lava begins to shoot out of the hole and pour towards them at an alarming rate. She reaches him and they run together, but the lava is keeping on their tails. JORDAN Chloes dying...we need to finish the game! Jordan looks at Michelle, and notices that she is topless. He looks away out of respect. JORDAN What the hell happened? Wheres Mark? Michelle looks to reply, but cant. Tears run down her face as she turns to Jordan as they continue to run. MICHELLE ...I...hes...he didnt make... JORDAN (shocked) Hes... MICHELLE ...hes de... Before Michelle can finish her sentence, she is grabbed around the waist by the plant, with a large vine that shoots out of the bushes straight at her. She screams as she is held in place, and slowly dragged back towards the lava. MICHELLE (screaming) No...no! JORDAN (yelling) Michelle!

Michelle releases the game, which falls on the ground. She screams in pain as the vine squeezes her harder and continues to drag her along the ground. MICHELLE (screaming) Finish the fucking game! Finish the...aah! Michelle and the plant begin begin to burn as the lava rolls closer to them. In an instant, she is released and falls on the ground, her body already on fire from the heat. She screams in agony as the lava itself rolls over her legs and towards her face. MICHELLE (screaming) Aah! Aah! Aah! Jordan watches in horror as Michelle melts into the lava, and soon out of sight. The last thing he sees is her outstretched hand catch on fire and slowly disappear into the lava. Just in time, he rushes forward and grabs the game out of the lavas path and runs as fast as he can. JORDAN Nobody is dying...I swear it.

17. INT. CABIN - NIGHT Jordan manages to reach the cabin as the lava struggles to make its way up the slight incline towards it. He thrusts the game down on the floor and turns to Chloe, lightly slapping her on the cheek to wake her. Michelles token has also fallen on its side and is not stuck anymore. JORDAN Chloe...Chloe...please wake up...please... Chloe stirs, still alive, but only just. She looks at Jordan with a dead look in her eyes. CHLOE Jordan...Im cold...where are the others? JORDAN They...they didnt make it. Chloe, weak, begins to sob silently. Jordan holds her hand and smiles. JORDAN Hey...its OK...all I need is a four and all of this goes away. Theyll be fine...well get the boat back...and well get off this fucking island forever. Chloe nods, and Jordan smiles at her, kissing her cheek. JORDAN Get ready to say Jumanji with me. Jordan rolls the dice...and gets a 1 and a 2. He throws his head back in disbelief. JORDAN You cant be serious... Jordan turns to Chloe, shaking his head. He shakes off the disappointment and puts on a brave face. JORDAN It doesnt even matter...I can help you roll quickly, then I roll, then were done.

Jordan leans in, this time with a puzzled look on his face as he reads the clue. JORDAN In the jungle you must wait, til the dice reads five or eight. Jordan looks at Chloe with eyebrows raised. JORDAN What do you think it means? Chloe musters up her last bit of energy to moan in shock and point her finger at Jordan. CHLOE ...your hands! JORDAN What the hell!? Chloe watches on in horror as Jordans hands slowly dissolve and get sucked into the middle of the game. It continues up his entire body, until only his face is untouched. They share one last look, eyes locked together. JORDAN Chloe... CHLOE Jordan... He yells out as his face dissolves, and his entire body is pulled into the board game. Jordan is gone, and Chloe is by herself in the cabin. She reaches for the dice and the game, but she can not reach. Falling back against the bed, she gives up hope and begins to cry. Jungle Drums begin to play in the background CUT TO - EXT. BUSHES - NIGHT The hyenas run from the lava, skipping and dancing and laughing their heads off madly. CUT TO - EXT.

Marks headless body is consumed by the lava, while his head continues to boil away in the pot. It is also consumed by the lava and lost forever. CUT TO - INT. CABIN - NIGHT Chloe looks out of the cabin as two vultures land, looking in with an evil curiosity. The drums begin to slow down, in unison with Chloes heartbeat ZOOM IN - Chloes eyes as the drums/heartbeat slow down...until they come to a complete stop. Chloe is dead. Game over. ZOOM IN - Chloes piece falls over and drops to the floor. The only piece remaining is Jordans. CUT TO BLACK Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N Roses begins to play ROLL CREDITS END MOVIE.
