Malcolm, Sarah, Kelly and Nick get off the island and Ingen capture the T-rex and the kid. Roland declares that he has 'spent enough time in the company of death' and leaves. Back in the city the Rex breaks loose to look for its baby. Malcolm and Sarah find the kid and lure the T-rex away from people with it. They leave it in the ships hold and then escape. Hammonds nephew Peter Ludlow (I think that's his name) comes in to find the kid and does. The Rex comes along and lets the baby take care of Ludlow. Its all grown up! As the doors of the hold close Sarah shoots the Rex with a sleeping dart. It is transported back to Jurassic park and the movie ends with Malcolm, Sarah and Kelly on the sofa in front of the tv. The TV is showing an interview with John Hammond. Hammond ends the movie by quoting Malcolm's words from the first movie, saying that 'Life will find a way'.

Deliberate mistake: When the ship crashes into the dock, all of the scenes leading up to the crash and after it show a clear view across the harbor as we can see lights and land on the other side. It's not until the ship is about to crash that a thick and dense fog appears and disappears within a minute to mask the ship to create a more dramatic effect.
Ian Malcom: Yes, ooo, ahh, it always starts out that way, and then comes all the running and screaming.
Trivia: Hammond doesn't appear in the second book (though he does in the second movie). This is because, in the book series, Hammond was killed in the first book. He slipped, broke his ankle and was fatally attacked by compies.
Question: Malcolm asks Roland why he'd kill a T-Rex. Roland proceeds to tell a story about a guy that went up a mountain and came back barely alive, and when asked 'did he go up there to die', responded 'no, he went up there to live'. I sort of get the point of the story, but could somebody clarify it for me?
Answer: It's basically about facing one's own mortality. Many humans feel that they 'feel the most alive' when facing (and overcoming) dangerous situations, the more challenging, the better. Roland is a big game hunter, to him, the ultimate challenge would be to hunt the biggest and (presumably) most dangerous predator ever to exist. Facing the danger of the T. Rex would make him feel better and mightier than he had ever felt in his life.
