After Tim manage to get the systems back on, Jurassic Park is back under control. Meanwhile back at the lodge, despite Gerry Harding efforts, Ian Malcolm's conditions becomes worse, rapidly slipping into a terminal delirium and possibly die due to his injuries. John Hammond decide to go outside for a while and began dig deep into his own thoughts about everything that had happen in the island.
Interesting Fact: Jeff Goldblum who played Ian Malcolm thought it would be a great idea if his character would get the T-Rex attention so that Sam Neil's character saves the kids trapped inside the car. And as a result, Steven Spielberg likes the idea and change the events taking place in the movie, with Ian Malcolm surviving and Donald Gennaro being killed by the Tyrannosaur.

This chapter in Michael Crichton's Novel that never shown at the end of Jurassic Park 1993 film, Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler and Donald Gennaro arrived at a cavernous opening that lead them to the beach, and saw the raptor colony starring at the boat.

There are several explosions as the army began destroying the island. Marking the end of Jurassic Park.
Interesting Fact: This particular part of the novel never made its way to its film version at all due to the fact in real life, Costa Rican Government would never bombed the island if necessary.
