History
King Kong (1933)
In King Kong, Jack was the first mate aboard the S.S. Venture. When a film producer came aboard to speak with Carl Denham about the film he was shooting, Jack questioned Denham and his methods, but did not complain about them. Jack was not pleased that actress Ann Darrow would be sailing with them to Skull Island, but soon began to grow attached to her. When the ship dropped anchor near the island, Jack and Ann went ashore with Carl, Captain Englehorn, and the sailors, and found a native village near the giant wall. Jack stayed close to Ann when a native chief spotted her. The following night, the natives kidnapped Ann to sacrifice her to a beast they called Kong. Upon learning of the kidnapping, Jack and the rest of the crew set out to help. Jack run to the huge gate and saw through the barred windows that Kong, a giant ape, was carrying Ann off into the jungle. Without wasting any time, Jack led a rescue party that followed Kong's tracks deep into the island.
Having encountered a Stegosaurus in the forest, Jack realized that the rescue mission would not be easy. While sailing across the lake, the group came across a Brontosaurus. Jack and the other sailors opened fire on it, but the dinosaur capsized their raft and pursued the crew at length in the lake and on the shore. Having lost their guns in panic, Jack and the other sailors ran to a deep chasm, which they crossed on a massive log. Here they unexpectedly caught up with Kong, who left Ann on the tree and went towards the sailors. Caught unawares over the abyss, they did not know where to go, but Jack figured out in time to go down a liana into a small cave in the side of the cliff. From there, he watched in despair as Kong threw the sailors off the log into the chasm, and then pushed the log there too. The beast then noticed Jack and tried to reach him with his hand, but Jack retreated deeper into the cave and defended himself with a knife. He avoided Kong's fingers and cut the vine that a Two-Legged Lizard was using to climb up from the ravine toward him. Hearing Ann's frightened scream, Kong went after her, and Jack climbed out after a while. After talking with Carl, who had been hiding on the other side of the chasm the whole time, Jack went on after Kong. He passed by the Meat-Eater that Kong had killed and saw the beast walking with Ann in his hand through the forest into the mountainous area. Tired and unarmed, Jack tried not to reveal his presence. He watched as Kong fought a snake-like plesiosaur near a geothermal spring, and then a giant Pteranodon. Waiting for the right moment, Jack ran to Ann and together they escaped Kong by jumping off a cliff into the water. Jack and Ann returned to the village, where Carl and Englehorn with his sailors were waiting them, but soon an enraged Kong came too. While the sailors and the frightened natives tried to hold the gates, Jack took the exhausted Ann to the coast. Kong soon broke through the gates, devastated the village and reached the beach, where he was put to sleep by a chloroform bomb.
Months later in New York City, Jack and Ann were engaged to be married. The couple was present at Kong's unveiling. As a photoshoot with bright flashes began, an irritated Kong broke his steel chains and began chasing Ann and Jack. They hid from him in a hotel, but Kong found them and took Ann through a window. Jack tried to protect Ann by hitting Kong's arm with a chair, but was powerless. Jack and Carl reported her abduction to the police, who believed that nothing could be done until Jack suggested using airplanes. The planes shot at Kong and after he fell off the Empire State Building, Jack climbed up and embraced Ann.
The Mighty Kong
Driscoll learned from his grandfather that women did not belong on ships, a lesson he would carry with him the rest of his life, as the moment Ann Darrow steps aboard the Java Queen, a ship he had signed onto as first mate, and is nearly crushed by falling cargo, he screams for her to go below decks. Later at dinner, Jack continues to slander her as a jinx and a woman with no place on a ship, and she, who had brought their dinner in as the cabin boy Ricky was ill, dumped clam chowder on his head. They eventually went ashore on Skull Island, where they were run off by natives. Ann and Jack then decided they were in love, and Ann was kidnapped. Jack then mounted an armed assault on the island and found a cave to follow Ann into the island. He then rescued her from Kong, the monster she had been sacrificed to, and ran back to the shore. Ricky then led Jack to C.B. Denham, who was injured in the jungle. He then incapacitates Kong with gas bombs and he is taken back to New York where Denham puts him in a show. This made Ann fall ill, and Jack got her a doctor, and then Kong kidnapped her and took her to the top of the Empire State Building. Due to the elevators being broken, Jack had to climb the stairs to the observation deck and save Ann.
King Kong (2005)
Driscoll was a celebrated writer, who while in production of his play Isolation, agreed to write a script for his friend Carl Denham's upcoming film. However, with only 15 completed pages, Jack was summoned to the ship Venture, where Denham met him and was shocked to find that Driscoll had only completed 15 pages. He provided his notes and prepared to leave to the rehearsal for Isolation, to which he was three hours late. Denham then offered to pay him two thousand dollars for his work, but continued incorrectly writing the check. Realizing that he would be trapped on board if he didn't move fast Driscoll fled the room to search for the exit. Despite his best efforts, Driscoll was too late. With no spare rooms, a sailor named Choy showed Driscoll fled the room to search for the exit to the animal cages in the cargo hold, where Captain Englehorn welcomed him aboard. While typing in his cage, Driscoll was brought dinner by Jimmy, who unbeknownst to Driscoll, stole his pen, but first mate Benjamin Hayes made him return it before telling Driscoll how he had found Jimmy years before. Later at breakfast, Driscoll walked into the galley to see new actress Ann Darrow mistaking Mike the sound recordist for himself, which he pointed out to Ann. In the cargo hold, he and Denham discussed the story. Denham then informed him that they were going to film on the legendary Skull Island. While Denham was filming on deck, Driscoll was forced to watch while lead actor Bruce Baxter improvised on set as opposed to reading his dialogue. Later on, Driscoll had an awkward conversation with Darrow as he tried and failed to make her feel more comfortable as an actress. Despite this, they grew closer as their work continued, culminating with a passionate kiss after Driscoll showed her a stage comedy he was writing for her. Afterward Driscoll went to the deck to find a brooding Denham before the ship sailed into the fog and crumpled into a huge wall. Englehorn ordered to engage reverse gear, and Driscoll was the first to notice the threatening rocks around the ship. He then went to protect Ann, when the Venture hit the rocks two more times and got stuck near the rock outcrop with a huge stone face. In the morning, Driscoll and the rest of the film crew were taken ashore with Denham to start filming. They found a village with numerous human skulls, mummified bodies near the tombs, and unfriendly natives a little later. Despite Driscoll's advice, Denham made hackneyed attempts at befriending the natives and only made them angry. While trying to protect Ann from the attacking villagers, Driscoll was hit on the head with a club and lost consciousness. He awoke in the galley, with Lumpy taking the table out from under him to throw overboard. While stumbling around the ship, he spotted the necklace of the native he had seen earlier on the island, and went looking for Ann, only to find her room ransacked, her missing, and the bloody corpse of a sailor nearby. He informed the captain that she had been taken, and was then part of the group that went ashore to rescue her, only to discover that something had taken her into the jungle beyond the wall. The captain sent a rescue group to search for her.
A short distance in, the sailors fired wildly into the brush, frightening a Ferrucutus, which began to attack. Driscoll saved Preston from being trampled, only for the creature to fling him away. Hayes was able to kill the beast, and the crew marched on. They followed the sound of Ann screaming to a boneyard where Driscoll discovered some of her hair tangled in a necklace on the ground before the group follows Kong's path of destruction. In a narrow valley, Driscoll tried to get the sailors to keep moving, but Hayes assured Driscoll they will not give up on Ann, and began a five minute break. Driscoll then discovered one of Kong's footprints and went to find Denham to describe the creature. However, they were set upon by a Brontosaurus stampede and Driscoll helped Denham up before running for his life with the rest. While running through a narrow valley, a pack of Venatosaurus began to attack the humans, and Driscoll saved Denham two more times, pushing one theropod under the feet of a running Brontosaurus and helping Denham get out from the pile of sauropod bodies. Some sailors and Baxter then abandoned the search, but Driscoll and the others created rafts to float across a swamp, but they are attacked by a swarm of Scorpio-pedes and a Piranhadon. The latter destroyed Driscoll's raft and devoured Carnahan near him. Driscoll nearly drowned due to his ammunition, but was able to survive by staying low and only surfacing while protected by tree roots. As the surviving sailors continued through the jungle, Driscoll thought he heard Ann in the brush, but Lumpy shot at the sound before he could act on his suspicion. Luckily, the sound had only been a Brutornis.
The group then marched across a log bridging an enormous chasm, but Hayes told them to stop while he went ahead, where Kong killed him as he bade Jimmy to stay with Driscoll, who held the boy back as Kong began shaking the log. Driscoll and the rest of the sailors were thrown into the pit below, and when Driscoll awoke he saw gigantic bugs and threw a lit flare in their direction, causing them to scatter. He then checked Denham, who stirred signifying he was alive, before taking hold of the crying Jimmy. He could not hold him long, as the beasts began to attack. Driscoll drew a Weta-rex off of Lumpy, only for it and several others to attack him. Jimmy shot the bugs off of him, but they were soon cornered by even larger Arachno-claws and Deplectors. Luckily, Englehorn arrived with more sailors and rescued them. Driscoll however, was not ready to give up, and continued his search for Ann. He quickly spied Kong's lair, and by nightfall had made it to the summit. There he found Ann sleeping in Kong's hand, and tried to escape with her. Kong awoke and tried to stop him, but ultimately they were able to climb partway down the cliff before grabbing a Terapusmordax and dropping into a river below. When they arrived at the gate, they found the drawbridge raised, and they barely made it across before Kong arrived and began to batter the gates. Shortly after the ape broke through Driscoll realized Denham was determined to capture it alive, and Englehorn and the crew attempted to sedate it, despite Driscoll's assertion that Denham was out of his mind to try. Driscoll hurried a struggling Ann back to the Venture, but Kong escaped his bonds and pursued them once again. Driscoll got Ann into the whaler that was waiting for them, and quickly turned to get Jimmy in as well before jumping in himself. He tried to keep Jimmy from shooting Kong, but was too late and the angry ape destroyed the boat. Driscoll grabbed Jimmy in the water, and began to swim to a rock where he watched Denham incapacitate the beast.
In New York, Driscoll published Cry Havoc, and attended its opening at the East Side Theater the night that Denham unveiled Kong to the public. Unfortunately he and Ann lost contact after returning to New York, and she was not the star. However, hearing his words performed and realizing his failure to save his relationship with Ann, he went to the Alhambra to find her. As he watched the show from the aisle, Preston approached him, now bearing a grisly scar, and they both agreed on the show's poor taste. However, where he expected to see Ann, there was another actress playing her part, and Preston informed him that she had refused to take part in the show. This fake Ann and an assault of flash photography caused Kong to get angry, and the two men began trying to get people out of the theater to minimal success before Kong broke free. When the theater was mostly empty, Kong spotted Driscoll on the balcony and began to chase him. Outside he watched Kong break out over the theater marquee and begin to pick up and throw blonde women that weren't Ann. Knowing Kong would follow him, Driscoll got in a taxi which he driver quickly let him have before driving up to the beast and slamming into reverse and luring him away. However, Kong finally got Driscoll cornered and smashed the cab, leaving Driscoll unconscious. When he came to, Driscoll followed the military convoy to the Empire State Building. He pushed through police and military to get into the cordoned off Empire State Building, and kicked a soldier away to keep him from dragging him off the elevator. He rode up all 101 stories and climbed up the rest of the way to get to the top to find Ann alone after Kong had been killed. She turned around and embraced him.

King Kong (1932)
Driscoll worked on the S.S. Wanderer as first mate to Captain Englehorn, and on one night was there to welcome their frequent client Carl Denham's casting agent aboard. They later set sail with Ann Darrow, whose presence perturbed Driscoll, who believed she would be a hindrance during the journey. The next day, while giving orders and throwing his hand back unexpectedly, Driscoll accidentally struck Darrow on her face, much to his immediate regret and embarrassment. Driscoll continued his charade of disliking Ann's presence while harboring a secret fondness of her. They quickly grew closer, and Driscoll admitted to her that he had ran off to the sea to escape going to college. After weeks of travel, and on reaching Skull Mountain Island, Jack admitted to Ann that he loved her, as he begged her not to accompany the crew on their first expedition onto the coast, but Denham insisted he have his leading lady with him. The party eventually came across a native ceremony to a god called Kong, and the villagers offered to trade six of their women for Ann. The sailors refused, and back on the ship Jack, Denham, Englehorn, and Ann discussed what Kong might be. That night, Ann was kidnapped and as soon as this was discovered, Jack and Denham lead a rescue party into the village and past their gigantic wall into Kong's jungle. They followed the trail of debris left from Kong's trek before them until a Stegosaurus came out of the mist and attacked them. They knocked it out with a gas bomb before Denham put two bullets in its heart. They attempted to build a raft to cross a lagoon, but a Brontosaurus attacked them and they lost two crewmen along with all of their guns. Jack lead the party from there, and they watched as Kong fought some Triceratopses on an asphalt flat before the maddened dinosaurs chased them into the jungle after their defeat. As they crossed a ravine on a log to escape the Triceratops, Jack saw Kong approaching from the other side and ducked into a cave on the ravine's cliff face as Kong shook the crew to their deaths in the ravine. Kong then began to grab for Driscoll in his cave, and Jack stabbed his hand multiple times to no avail. He was eventually drawn away by Ann screaming. The only other survivor of the log was Denham on the other side, who went back to gather more men and supplies while Jack pushed on to follow Kong. He tracked them up Skull Mountain, where he waited for an opportunity to rescue Ann. He got his chance when a Pterodactyl descended to grab her away from Kong. The two narrowly escape, with Kong on their tail by jumping into a spring and floating back toward the wall, sustaining minor injuries along the way. After returning to the village, where Denham and the sailors were just preparing to go looking for them, Kong caught up and began to tear the village apart in search of Ann, but Jack was able to get her safely to the ship, while Denham used gas bombs to knock Kong out. Back in New York City, Jack and Ann were to make an appearance onstage when Denham revealed Kong to the world, but on seeing Ann Kong grew restless. Ann nervously stood onstage with Jack, but the photo shoot made Kong think Ann was in danger, and he broke free of his bonds. At this time, Jack and Ann were safely in Jack's hotel room across the street, but when Jack's back was turned, the anxious Ann was grabbed from the room by the ape's gargantuan hand. Jack joined Denham and the police in their pursuit of the monster, but eventually lost him. Jack them theorized that because of his hermitage in Skull Mountain, Kong would feel safest and thus instinctively go toward the highest point he could find, which would be the Empire State Building. Fortunately, just as they arrive they see Kong beginning to scale the skyscraper with Ann in hand. Denham called in the army planes from an airfield upstate, and the party entered the tower and reached the top, where Jack waited to get onto the roof as soon as he could. Kong jumped off the building to grab a plane, and fell to his death after sustaining heavy injuries. Jack ran to Ann, and the two embraced as Ann cried after her traumatizing experience.
King Kong: The Island of the Skull
One year before the events of the the 2005 film, Driscoll introduced his friend Carl Denham to a famous playwright at a speakeasy. Denham then commissioned Jack to write a screenplay, which he later started.
King Kong (2005)
Driscoll first met Carl Denham while he was a student at Columbia University, and Denham was preparing to join a film director on a trip to Africa. Years later they met again through Driscoll's family friend George S. Kaufman before they met once more in Germany before finally they met again after they returned to New York, and had been close friends since.[1] Driscoll at one point agreed to write a screenplay for Denham, but one day his assistant Preston came begging for the completed draft. Due to the untimely nature of the request, Driscoll went to the Venture to deliver the fifteen completed pages and to explain the situation. However, as he waited for Denham, he became three hours late for the rehearsal of his play Isolation, and Denham was upset at Driscoll's short draft. He offered to pay Driscoll for the pages, and stalled him until the ship cast off. Trapped onboard with no available cabins, Driscoll was shown to the cargo hold by a jovial Chinese sailor named Choy. While selecting a cage to his liking, he was introduced to the skipper. There Driscoll continued to write the script, secretly excited at the prospect of being on an actual adventure. He was not very enthusiastic about Ann Darrow, a vaudeville girl Denham had found for his leading lady. However, as the voyage progressed, he came to appreciate her natural comedic talents and acting prowess. His confusing feelings of affection lead to him trying his had at writing a comedy play for Ann to perform, despite their numerous floundering conversations, fueled by their mutually developing romantic feelings. While continuing his script, now titled Cry Havoc, Driscoll worked up the nerve to show it to Ann, who ended up enjoying it. Their discussion on the nature of writing a believable love story culminated in a kiss. One night, while sharing a pot of sour congealed coffee with Ann, the ship's cook Lumpy informed the two that they were being left in Rangoon, causing the two to seek out Denham to clear up the confusion. The ship soon hit a reef off of the coast of Skull Island, and the couple held each other close until a roll of the ship tore them away. In the morning, Driscoll accompanied Denham and the rest of the film crew to the island's rocky shore for filming. However, shortly after beginning, Baxter once more improvised on set and tried to kiss Ann, which made Driscoll furious. Denham, and even Darrow agreed it was inappropriate, and secretly knew it was because of Driscoll's feelings for her. Denham then discovered a stairway through some catacombs, leading to a shantytown that put them both on edge. There they were attacked by natives, and Driscoll was struck in the head with a club, and woke up in Lumpy's galley. He quickly began searching for Ann, and found two dead crewmen and her cabin ransacked with only a monkey skull necklace for a clue. He then sought the Captain and informed him of the kidnapping before helping load the boats for the rescue. When they came ashore Driscoll ran ahead of the rest of the group, only to find that they were too late. Driscoll tried to pry the gate open, but Ben Hayes shot an opening in it before deciding to trust Driscoll with a Tommy gun. When Englehorn gave the crew 24 hours to find her, Driscoll went into the jungle without hesitation.
Driscoll lead the pack, who eventually fired wildly at the sounds surrounding them, to discover they had killed live dinosaurs. Driscoll soon heard Ann calling him in the distance, and he charged toward the sound. However, they lost the trail, and found themselves in a boneyard, where Driscoll discovered a bone necklace with some of Ann's hair stuck in it, as Denham examined the path of destruction her captor had made in the jungle. After regrouping, they opted to follow it. While walking in the jungle, Driscoll realized that Hayes had a military background, and when he asked him about it, Jimmy bubbled about his friend's days in the trenches until it was revealed that he had been denied recognition for his service because of his race, making Driscoll feel a bit guilty, before he softened and assured him that they would bring Darrow back alive or dead. Later, on finding a footprint of Kong, Driscoll went to find Denham to learn what kind of creature he was, before being caught in a stampede of Brontosaurus. Driscoll barely survived as a pack of Hunter lizards snaked their way through the crowd. Driscoll slammed one away with his shoulder, and it was crushed under a Bronto's foot. In order to escape the stampede, they climbed up a steep bank and slipped through cracks in it before arriving at a swamp, where half of the group attempted to give up, but the effort fell through when Lumpy decided to stay. They then made rafts to float across the swamp, and were attacked by a beast that Driscoll's creative mind dubbed Piranhadon. It destroyed Driscoll's raft and his ammunition sank him to the bottom of the swamp, where the creature could not see him, and he was helpless to pass this information to Carnahan trying to swim to the surface. Driscoll managed to survive, and swam to the log where Preston was staying afloat, and paddled to shore where the crew rested for a moment before moving on. Continuing through the jungle, Driscoll heard footsteps off the path, and Lumpy fired into the bush, despite Driscoll's protests. When the firing stopped, they approached to find a large flightless bird full of holes on the ground. Lumpy put it out of its misery and the crew moved on. They eventually came to a log bridging a deep crevice, where Hayes was killed by Kong. Driscoll had to hold Jimmy back, which saved his life when the beast shook them off the log, and the two grabbed vines on the walls to keep them from falling. On landing in deep mud at the bottom, Driscoll managed to survive the fall before helping Jimmy up before being attacked by giant bugs. Driscoll grabbed a stick and began using it to stave them off before gunfire came from above when Englehorn arrived and saved them. Driscoll was the only one who opted to continue the search. He followed Kong's trail and climbed slowly up the side of his mountain and through a den of foul-smelling bat-like creatures he named Terapusmordax before waking Ann. They nearly escaped but Kong awoke and rounded on Driscoll until the bats attacked Ann and distracted the beast long enough for the two to climb down vines on the cliffside. Kong began to pull the vine back up to him, but Driscoll grabbed a passing Terapusmordax, and floated the bat down to drop into a river. They went over a small waterfall before coming ashore. They ran back to the wall and shouted to those on the other side as Kong emerged from the jungle behind them, and crossed the bridge as Kong began to assault the gate. Driscoll did his best to run Ann to the safety of the coast, despite her attempts to run to Kong as the crew tried to capture him. When Kong broke the net and crawled into the tomb tunnel, Denham finally put him to sleep with a dose of chloroform.
Ann didn't talk to him on the whole voyage home, where they parted ways. Driscoll knew it was due to his inability to tell her that he loved her, but such forwardness had never been the Driscoll family's forte. Being unable to stop thinking about her upon arriving in New York, he left the performance of Cry Havoc and went to Times Square to find her at Kong's theater, only to meet with Preston, who informed him that Ann was not there. Shortly after Kong was unveiled, things began to go wrong, and the two tried to usher people out of the theater before the beast broke free. Kong recognized Driscoll as he stood on the balcony, and tried to chase after him, but Driscoll got away and watched him search the crowd for Ann. Driscoll then got in a taxi and followed Kong to try and get his attention, and draw him away. Kong chased Driscoll until to their shared disbelief Ann appeared, and took her away. Driscoll then found that they had come to the Empire State Building, and Driscoll began climbing up to rescue Ann. When he arrived at the observation deck, she was running to the top to be with Kong, who let himself fall off the building before Driscoll approached her, and when she asked why he had come, he was finally able to say how he felt.

King Kong: The 8th Wonder of the World
While in pre-production for a play he had written entitled Isolation, Jack was also commissioned by his friend Carl Denham to write a screenplay for his upcoming adventure film. Jack however, left Denham's script unfinished and tried to leave the director with his notes before leaving to get to a rehearsal of Isolation. However, while they were talking, Carl's ship, the Venture cast off as per the director's orders: effectively trapping him on board. Despite his having to sleep in an animal cage below decks, over the course of the voyage he grew quite close to the lead actress Ann Darrow over their shared enthusiasm for good storytelling, and this eventually lead to a kiss. When they finally reached Denham's filming location, the mythical Skull Island, Jack went ashore with the rest of the film crew, but they were almost immediately attacked by the natives, and Jack suffered a blow to the back of the head with a club. Captain Englehorn and some sailors came to their rescue, and that night, Englehorn ordered all extraneous weight to go overboard in order to hasten their departure. While doing this, Jack came across a native necklace and went looking for Ann, only to find her cabin empty and two dead men with spears in them. He promptly informed the rest of the crew that Ann had been kidnapped. When they stormed the village, they discovered that Ann had been sent over a massive wall and given to a monster Denham described as an ape. Jack prepared to go in after her, and Englehorn gave the party supplies and 24 hours to return with her before they set sail.
While in the jungle, they found one of Kong, the monster's, footprints. Jack went to find Denham for an estimate on its size, but Denham's attempts at filming a herd of Brontosaurus got the group caught in a stampede, brought on by a pack of hunting Venatosaurus. Jack and the others began to run away, but leading actor Bruce Baxter shot at one of the Brontosaurus, causing those behind it to trip on its form, and making themselves easier targets for the carnivores. Jack was sprung upon by one of the dinosaurs, but First Mate Hayes shot it away, saving his life. The survivors, after fighting through the jungles, the party came upon a fallen tree bridging an enormous chasm. Unfortunately, as they began to cross, Kong appeared and shook the log before throwing it into the pit. Jack got down unharmed by sliding down a vine, but they were immediately attacked by Carnictis, Weta-rex, and Arachno-claws. Jack helped the survivors up, and they were rescued by Englehorn, Baxter, and the other sailors. While the rest went back to the village, Jack insisted that Ann was alive, despite Englehorn's suggesting he come back. In the middle of the night, Jack arrived at Kong's lair, and found Ann sleeping in his hand. She awoke, and they prepared to make their escape, but Kong awoke, and with him woke the flock of Terapusmordax hanging from his cave's ceiling. Kong attempted to attack Jack, but quickly shifted his attention to the flying carnivores as Jack and Ann climbed down the cliff. They dropped into the river below after grabbing a Terapusmordax' leg and weighing the beast down to a reasonable height, and arrived at the gate to the village with Kong hot on their tail. However, the crewmen were prepared and much to Jack and Ann's astonishment, captured Kong alive.
Back in New York, Jack watched Kong's Broadway premiere with Carl's assistant Preston, but noticed that Ann had not been cast, and Preston revealed that she had refused all offers. Jack then noticed that Kong was breaking his chains and fled the theater just before Kong escaped. He entered an abandoned Taxi Cab, and followed the beast to the foot of the Empire State Building, where Ann came out to calm him. Kong then took Ann up to the top of the building, and Jack made his way up to rescue her, and she ran to Kong as he fell from the building following his being shot and wounded by airplanes. Jack arrived to comfort her, as Kong hit the ground.
