[HORNS HONKING]

You've sold us a bill of goods, Gordon.

You've promised us new drugs to fight everything

from the common cold to cancer.

And we'll deliver everything that we promised.

I'm sorry, Gordon, but the adventure is over.

We are exercising our option to liquidate

Byron & Mitchell Research Limited.

Jack... show these people how filthy rich

we're gonna make them, please.

Gordon, I don't think you understand what I just said.

Oh, I think I understand.

Jack.

[BEEP]

JACK: Perrinia immortalis.

The Blood Orchid.

First described in 1892 by Houghton,

the last person to see it,

until our exploratory team brought a sample back

from Borneo.

The Blood Orchid lies dormant for seven years

and then blooms for just six months.

Which means we just got lucky as hell, gentlemen.

JACK: I don't suppose anyone here

is familiar with the Hayflick limit?

Hayflick proposed that a cell could only replicate 56 times

before it died from a buildup of toxins.

According to him, it's the reason that we die.

But what if we could transcend that limit?

That would be impossible.

Not according to our data.

Our research indicates the presence of a chemical

in perrinia immortalis

that can significantly prolong cellular life.

GAIL: I can't support this.

Does that mean what I think it means?

Are we talking about a pharmaceutical equivalent

to the fountain of youth?

Exactly.

That'd be bigger than Viagra.

Have you put this into human trials?

We can't... yet.

Our sample was degraded in the initial study.

We need more of the orchid.

See, and that's our only problem, gentlemen.

That orchid is only in bloom for another two weeks.

Well, what the hell are you waiting for?

Get your asses down to Borneo.

Yes.

[♪♪♪]

Welcome to Borneo.

Thanks.

What's wrong with this picture?

I don't know. Let me see. You're in it?

We don't have a boat, okay?

Your company's had one responsibility, to get a boat,

and you've already managed to screw it up.

Wait, wait, wait a minute.

Your girl chartered the boat, not us.

No, no. Sam confirmed with the company last night.

They're still waiting for your payment.

SAM: Hey.

Hey, I've got something. Payment cleared.

Really?

Where's the boat?

It's not coming.

All of the charter companies have shut down.

No one'll risk goin' upriver

until after the rainy season.

And when's that?

Two, three weeks.

The orchid's only in bloom

for one more week, tops.

There's a local captain named Jin-Soon.

I'm told he'll take anyone upriver,

for the right price.

[ROWDY RAP MUSIC BLARING]

Are you sure this is the place?

They said the one with the red door.

I'll bet you any kind of money

there's somebody playing Russian roulette in there.

Well, maybe we'll get lucky and they'll give you a turn.

JACK: Hey, why don't you two just get a room?

Come on, Sam.

[FUNKY HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

Wait here.

Yeah, if you insist.

Hey. Hey.

Jin-Soon.

Jin-Soon?

[SPEAKS INDONESIAN]

Uh...

[SPEAKING INDONESIAN]

[CHUCKLES]

Your Indonesian sucks.

Stick to English.

We heard you could take us upriver.

In rainy season?

Won't be cheap.

We can pay you 25,000.

I'll have a talk with the captain.

Well, you mean you're not the captain?

Jin-Soon!

These tourists need a boat.

I told them not in the rainy season.

You're Jin-Soon?

Local nickname.

Name's Johnson.

Bill Johnson.

It's a pronunciation thing.

And you can rent my boat for 25 grand.

Now... you want me to drive it, well...

that'll cost you 50.

Fifty grand? Are you high?

You know what? Please don't answer that question.

There's no way I'm trusting this guy with the expedition.

Listen, lady.

Let's cut the bullshit, please.

If one of the other charter companies could take you,

you'd be on the river by now.

You only came to me because you're desperate.

Fifty grand's my price.

Take it...

or leave it.

[♪♪♪]

[RAIN FALLING]

I've seen subway cars in better shape than this.

Yeah, she may be ugly...

but she puts out.

Ah, shit.

What took you so long?

Hey, you try gettin' a GPS locator,

a Sat-Nav EchoStar, and a UV spectrometer

past Indonesian customs.

Complaining already.

Yeah.

Rather be back in the office?

Hell, yeah.

Girl, I had courtside seats at the Garden Saturday night.

I was gonna sit right between Spike and Woody.

Oh, man, is that our ride?

[CHUCKLES]

Look at the bright side, Cole.

At least the weather's nice.

Ben Douglas.

Team doctor.

You must be Sam.

Yeah. We spoke on the phone.

Glad to have you aboard.

I'm gonna get you for this.

BEN: Oh, yeah. This could be fun.

You can forget about that, dog.

That's one car you ain't never gonna catch.

There's always a way.

Your team's a little green, huh?

My former grad students.

Best in their field.

Here's a tip for Wexell-Hall.

You want the best young talent, recruit early.

GAIL: Yes,

I'm sure Sam's very talented.

I think I resent that.

You and the other gal can stay in here.

You live here?

The way you say that, I can tell you're impressed.

All right.

If you need anything...

Well, if you need anything, you're shit out of luck.

[ENGINE TUMBLES]

[♪♪♪]

Okay.

Now, this is where

the exploratory team found the orchid.

In the Selatan Basin.

It took them three days to get upriver.

Yeah.

Well, that was before the rainy season.

Some of these waterways

could be dangerous now.

You said you could get us there safely.

And I will,

but safe isn't always quick.

We'll work our way upriver one bend at a time.

If I don't like what I see, we change course.

You can't chart the fastest route

before you begin.

Already have.

Check it.

A'ight.

Now, we're uplinked in real time

to NASA and AsiaSatCom.

Now, under ideal conditions, [TYPING]

this is the fastest route,

but once we superimpose weather patterns

for the past 10 years

and then extrapolate...

Bingo.

It's Padrang to the Selatan Basin.

I'm a bad man.

Look, we got less than a week to get to that orchid.

If you can't get the job done...

give us our money back

and we'll get somebody who can.

I'll get you there.

BILL [GENTLY]: It's okay, boy. It's okay.

What the hell did you do?

You scared him.

I scared him?

This is Kong.

Kong lives here.

You're...

Be nice.

Disgusting animal.

Uh, you... You okay now?

I'm fine. Just keep your hands off of me.

Oh, yeah, well, it's gonna be tough,

but, uh, I'll try.

[♪♪♪]

[CREW TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

No, the S-1 has to be on file before the week is out.

Hello! Yeah.

No, I don't care. That's the whole point.

Hello?

The S-1 needs to be on file before the week is out.

We were able to get on the river.

That's the whole purpose.

We need the comments back from the SEC.

Uh-huh. Yeah. Excuse me. I'm trying.

It's the only place I get reception.

No, just get it done. We need to be ready to go,

effective as... Three, four days.

Hello? Hello?

Hello! Bob.

Damn it. Damn.

Try my phone.

Works just as good, but it's free.

Oh, okay.

Okay, maybe you can use my special antenna,

to boost your reception.

[LAUGHS]

JACK: We're dealing with a lithophytic vine,

so we want to search any rock face.

Now, this ridge here seems a good bet.

Sam.

[SHUTTER CLICKS]

Come on, Sam.

What do you say?

We're young, we're single.

We're in Borneo.

What do you got to lose?

You're not satisfied, you walk away, no commitments.

"No commitments."

That's your pitch?

Did I say, "No commitments"?

I meant, "Marry me."

Am I gonna be dealing with this for the next two weeks?

Yep.

[SNICKERING]

[CONVERSING INDISTINCTLY]

So you were one of Jack's students?

Yeah.

He was teaching a seminar on botanical pharmacology.

Soon as I finished my dissertation,

he hired me.

Well, that's one way to get a leg up.

What's that supposed to mean?

I had a professor

who wanted to hire me right out of school.

Of course, he wanted me to be his secretary.

Look, if I've done something to offend you in any way...

No. No, dear, not at all.

Actually, I admire you.

Took me 10 years

to get where I am.

Clearly, your generation has it figured out.

Man. This is good, man.

Where'd you learn to cook like this?

It's just a little recipe I picked up in Sri Lanka.

What were you doing there?

Doctors Without Borders.

It's my day job.

You guys expect to need a doctor for some reason?

Can't get the expedition bonded without one.

Well, you just think of me as a charming insurance policy.

[CHATTERS]

Hey!

You've had your dinner.

Get outta here.

Hey, you guys seen Kong?

No.

Not since last night.

[SIGHS]

Where are you?

Kong.

Ch-ch-ch-ch.

We need those results

by next month

if we want the FDA off our backs.

Hello? H...

Maybe you should drop the phone. It's probably holding you back.

or the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

[KNIFE CLINKS]

It's a fine line.

[♪♪♪]

Good as new.

Thanks.

To Gail...

who knows it's better to eat than be eaten.

Yeah, yeah, baby.

To Gail. To Gail.

Almost eaten

just to find a flower.

Hardly seems worth it.

Oh, it's worth it.

I mean, think about it, right?

A pill that you take every day for the rest of your life.

Now, even if we charge, say, a dollar a pop...

...we're billionaires.

COLE: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, baby.

At $100 a bottle,

I'll dive in that river and fight that croc myself.

[ALL LAUGHING]

So how many flowers does it take

to save the world?

We figure 50 orchids'll yield about an ounce of chemical.

You could have a football field

full of those orchids.

Still doesn't mean

you can get it through human trials.

Phew.

She doesn't even believe in you.

Comes with the territory.

In research, you've got to go out on a limb,

and there's always someone waiting to chop it off.

[KONG SHRIEKING]

[ALL SCREAM]

Where the hell have you been, huh?

Damn that thing.

Where you been, boy?

[SQUAWKING] Calm down. Calm down.

Poor guy.

It's okay. It's all right.

Looks like he's seen a ghost.

It's all right. It's all right.

[WHIMPERING] It's all right.

Shh.

SAM: What if Gail's right?

I mean, cells in a petri dish are one thing.

Human trials are another.

She's wrong,

and when perrinia immortalis goes to product,

and you and I

can cash in our stock options,

we'll rub her face in it.

Stock options.

I spoke to Mitchell.

We're each giving you half a point.

I don't know what to say.

Don't say anything.

You deserve it.

All this...

wouldn't be possible without your work.

Jack.

Thought we decided against that.

Yeah. Yeah.

You're right.

It would be fun, though.

I mean, here we are, traveling upriver

to the greatest discovery of our careers and...

Now, if this orchid thing works out, then...

who knows?

Is that why I'm here?

So you can give us one more try?

You're here because

you're the best researcher I've got.

BILL: Am I interrupting something?

No.

I was, um... I was just going to bed.

Yeah.

Well, before you do that, we need to talk.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

We got a problem. See the water level?

Uh-huh.

In high water, the Mendranang gets rough.

Now, what we could do is turn around

and try to find another course,

but that would take at least two days.

We don't have the time.

If the river becomes impassable, it's gonna take a lot longer.

And if we turn back, then we're definitely screwed.

You're gonna have to risk it.

What if I don't wanna risk it?

Do you have any idea what this flower means?

We're talking about the biggest medical discovery

in history.

Wow.

That does sound great, Jack,

but I was never any good at history.

You want me to risk the Mendranang,

it's gonna cost you an extra 50,000.

Done.

Done?

Don't you gotta ask the boss lady or something?

I'll pay it myself.

All right.

You got yourself a deal.

But if we hit trouble,

your people do what I say, you got that?

You're the captain.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[♪♪♪]

Research proposals?

Yeah, research proposals.

You're not the only company we're in bed with.

Yeah, but we're the prettiest and most popular.

It's like sleeping with the head cheerleader.

Not quite.

Come on, you know you love us.

I love your cash.

Then why don't you let me get a look at that file?

I mean, after this orchid thing goes bust,

you're gonna be finished at Wexell-Hall.

Unless you got something else lined up.

You really wanna see us fail, don't you?

No.

I just think that you will.

I am a scientist, you know.

Scientist.

What're you doing at Wexell-Hall?

I like science.

I just like money better.

I'll drink to that.

Give me your hand. Give me your hand.

Okay, I've got her.

You almost got us killed!

You think I wanted this? I just lost my damn boat!

You'll lose your payday if you don't get us outta this.

You said you'd get us there safely.

If you knew it was that dangerous,

you should've turned around! That's enough!

There's nothing we can do about that now.

It's a waste of energy.

What have we got?

Some specimen jars, a map,

a little water, no food.

Hard drive's ruined.

Well, pretty much all the equipment's shot.

[BEEPS]

Except one of the SAT phones still works.

It's online.

Thank God we can call the police.

[SCOFFS] Police.

The nearest river patrol

is back in Padrang.

The only way to get to us

is over that.

Are you saying we're stuck here?

Maybe not.

We're here,

The valley's completely flooded.

But I got a friend

who operates a boat on the Tokut River.

I can give him a call,

and he can meet us here,

at Naga Rock.

How far is that?

I don't know,

a two-day hike down the river,

but if we bushwhack,

we cut at least a day off the trek.

Oh, my God, you wanna go through that?

It's the shortest way.

We could be safely in the Tokut by nightfall.

So we can continue with the expedition.

Yeah.

I'll get you to the flower.

I don't care about that flower.

Just get us to safety.

It's the same thing.

Now, we can either be on my buddy's boat

in 10 hours,

or we can sit here

and wait for the river patrol for days.

Your friend.

Is he reliable?

Absolutely.

BILL [OVER PHONE]: You better not screw me on this.

Sounds like you're already screwed, mate.

I'll pay you two grand.

I need you on this one, John.

Yes, yes, so it seems.

Uh...

Look, uh, Billy,

I'd love to help you out, but, uh...

I'm flat out, mate, you know? Um...

probably squeeze you in for, say...

five grand?

[LAUGHS]

You're killing me.

Ha, that's mates' rates.

Or you could always hike

back to Padrang

if you wanna save bucks.

Up to you, pal.

Fine. Five.

[WHISPERS] Yes.

But you better be there.

Otherwise, I'll tell your wife

about that little side trip to Bangkok.

Wife's long gone, Billy.

Ben was eaten by a freaking snake, okay?

A freaking snake!

Cole. Oh, God! Oh, God!

Oh, God, I mean...

Oh, my God, did you...? Did you see that thing?

We don't got a chance against something like that!

I mean, Mitchell. Mitchell.

Listen to me, man.

I watch the Discovery Channel, okay?

I'm telling you. We got no chance! We got no chance!

We're like...

We're like mice in an aquarium.

We're gonna die, girl.

We're gonna die!

We're gonna die! Cole, Cole.

Calm down.

Okay?

Okay?

All right, Jack, I'm okay. Okay. Okay.

I'll just...

I'm... I'm... I'm gonna... I'm gonna sit right here,

I'm sorry. Sorry.

Listen.

Anacondas are territorial.

A snake that size will hunt a huge area.

There won't be another one for miles.

We gotta get to the boat.

It's not that far,

so if we keep moving

and stick together,

we should be fine.

"We should be"?

How big do they get?

That was the biggest one I've ever seen, by far.

A freak of nature.

The odds of running into another one that size

are astronomical.

Yeah, but how do we know that the one that got Ben

is not gonna come after us?

It takes them weeks to digest.

Meal like that,

he'll be sleeping it off for a while.

Let's just, um...

get to that boat and get home.

What about the orchid?

You've gotta be kidding me.

It won't be in bloom for another seven years.

This expedition is over, Jack.

Now, hold on a second, Gail.

There's a lot of money at stake here, okay?

I don't care! Ben is dead!

We have lost someone.

As Wexell-Hall's representative,

I am calling this expedition off.

You don't have the authority.

Check your contract. In case you hadn't noticed,

we're in the middle of the jungle.

At this point,

your authority is what we say it is.

Jack, I'm with her.

I gotta get the hell outta here, man.

Look, Ben was my friend, okay? I got him into this,

and no one feels worse about it than I do.

I don't want to do anything stupid.

I just want to accomplish what we came here for.

If we turn back now,

Ben's death would be for nothing.

Let's just get back to the boat.

We can regroup and make our decision then.

Fine.

[QUIETLY] Jack, maybe Gail's right.

She's just scared.

Once we get back to the boat, she'll be okay.

When we get back to the boat, this expedition is over.

The only place I'm taking these people is to safety.

Hey, hey, hey. We had a deal.

Keep your money, doc.

Someone is dead.

We're officially in over our heads.

You just said we won't run into another one of those things.

And we probably won't,

but I can't guarantee it.

So I'll get you to the boat,

but after that, we're done.

Well, that answers it.

That answers nothing.

I'll just throw more money at him

when we get back to the boat.

If he doesn't take it,

I'll offer his friend the same deal.

Jack, maybe we should listen...

Sam, if we don't get to that orchid now,

all of our work would've been for nothing.

I need your support, okay?

You have as much riding on this as I do.

Don't let me down.

COLE: I saw this special on Animal Planet.

Anacondas are vicious, man.

I mean, they hunt for sport.

They don't even need to see you to eat you.

They use their flicking tongues to sense your body heat.

GAIL: Will you shut the hell up?

I knew this guy who knew this other guy

who used to shoot documentaries,

and he went down to the Amazon with this crew once,

they were all eaten by snakes, and that's a true story.

You knew a guy who knew a guy,

that's a urban myth.

I'm sorry about Ben.

I never should've stayed on the Mendranang.

What do you mean?

Well, I figured he didn't tell the others,

but I thought you knew.

Knew what?

Byron offered me an extra 50 grand

to stay on the river.

I told him it might get rough,

but he wanted to risk it.

[SCOFFS] Hey.

Don't blame him.

It was my call.

I took the money.

I thought I could get us through.

You want to blame anyone?

You blame me.

MITCHELL: These boots are killing me.

[INSECTS BUZZING]

Cole.

What?

You got some...

Oh! Oh, God, what is that!

Get it off!

Get it off! Get it off!

Oh, my God! I can't get it off!

Help me! Help me!

Help me! All right, hold on. Hey!

Get this off me!

Calm down! Calm down.

Cole!

Cole!

Calm down. What is it? What is it?

Get it off. Get it off.

All right, look... Get it off.

Just a lighter. Oh, no!

You ain't burning me.

Just a lighter.

COLE: Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

[LIGHTER CLICKS]

You burn me, I'll kill you.

Shh. Shh.

Okay. Okay.

All right.

[SIZZLING] [GASPS]

[GRUNTS] Aah!

All right? You okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

BILL: Uh... COLE: What?

BILL: Hold on.

Put your arms up.

What are you doing?

Why are you going under my shirt?

[GASPS]

What are you doing?

BILL: Jesus.

COLE: "Jesus" what?

What? What is it?

What is it? What is it?

Anybody got a blowtorch?

[GRUNTS]

Stop.

Careful.

Whoa! Whoa.

What's...

If that thing bit you,

you would be lumpuh.

Paralyzed like stone for two days.

JACK: What do you call this fellow?

Laba laba batu. Stone spider.

We may have just discovered

a valuable new anesthetic agent

for Wexell-Hall.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Forget Wexell. We can get this to the highest bidder.

All right. Show and tell's over.

We gotta get to that boat.

Put your boots on and let's go.

Oh, come on, man!

What the hell happened?

Livingston!

JACK: Here we go.

[CRYING]

He got drunk and fell off the bloody boat!

Your friend!

Your friend! Now, what we gonna do now?

COLE: Shit!

Search the wreckage.

Find anything we can use...

and hope to God there's a phone.

Aw, come on, come on.

Yes.

Hello?

MITCHELL: All right, keep looking!

No phone?

Nothing.

Couldn't get a signal on the radio.

Now what?

[INSECTS BUZZING]

COLE: What's going on?

BILL: Where'd these come from?

Lopaks.

Who?

Local tribe,

descended from headhunters.

What?

Been in this region for thousands of years.

Headhunters?

There's still some villages around here.

Yeah, this must be one of their fishing spots.

No. Excuse me. Did you say headhunters?

There haven't been practicing headhunters

in Borneo for over a century.

Yeah, well, just because they ain't practicing,

don't mean they don't remember how.

They must be along this branch of the river.

If we can find their village...

maybe they can lend us a boat.

COLE: So wait a minute.

We just gonna walk towards the headhunters, not away?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

[♪♪♪]

[GROWLING]

Oh, God. I'm so hungry,

I'd sell my grandmother for a Tic Tac.

You mention food one more time,

I'm voting you off this island.

[SCREAMING]

MITCHELL: Oh, God.

[SHRIEKS]

Is that...?

Livingston.

Oh, my God, man. What the...?

What the hell happened to him?

Anaconda.

If he was eaten by the snake, then why is his body...?

Listen, listen, listen!

All right.

These things are at their weakest

when they digest,

but if threatened,

they will spit up their food and attack again.

COLE: What? Are you telling me

there's some snake out there with an empty stomach?

Yeah.

The same one that got Ben?

No. No.

There's no way that snake could've gotten to Livingston.

It had to be another one.

Another one? You said there wouldn't be another for miles...

There wouldn't.

Unless...

Unless what?

Unless it's mating season.

Oh, my God.

Mating season?

Yeah. Oh, my God.

You see, the males are territorial,

but when they smell a female in heat,

they come running...

from everywhere.

TRAN: Females find a nice, wet,

muddy pit,

and they all go after her at once.

In one big mating ball.

So you're telling me

there's some snake orgy out in the jungle?

Yeah. Something like that.

Look, we're losing the light.

All we gotta do is get to that village,

so please,

pay attention.

Do not...

stray from the group.

Let's go.

[♪♪♪]

TRAN: Stay quiet.

Sacred burial ground.

Ugh.

[COUGHS]

[COUGHING]

Jesus.

I thought you said that anaconda

was the biggest you'd ever seen.

It was.

Well, this one's...

Bigger.

The males must've come through here

looking for the female.

[INSECTS BUZZING]

Some bullshit.

They took their boats.

BEN: Good for them,

bad for us.

Which one's the Mendranang?

On the right.

The Tokut keeps going to the left.

Fastest way to Kotabaru.

How long?

You'll be soaking in a hot tub at the Four Seasons in two days.

How, man? We don't even have a boat.

We're gonna build one.

[LIGHTER CLICKS, LIGHTS]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Man, do that in my neighborhood, and that's your ass.

Shit.

[JABBERING]

Sam.

What does this look like to you?

My God.

Perrinia immortalis.

Now we know why these snakes are so big.

What?

Anacondas keep growing till they die, right?

Uh-huh. And these are the biggest snakes

Bill's ever seen.

Because they're living longer.

Exactly,

because perrinia immortalis

is part of the food chain.

These snakes have transcended the Hayflick limit.

The chemical in the orchid

does exactly what we predicted,

and not in theory.

In the real world.

This is proof, Sam,

of your research, carved in stone.

This is proof?

It's anecdotal evidence at best.

Let's get to the orchid and find out.

You are out of your mind.

Do you have any idea how close we are?

The orchid was found here, on the Mendranang,

just around the next bend.

We'll be going right past it.

No, we won't.

We are going down the Tokut.

If we continue down the Mendranang,

it's gonna be a week

before we reach another village.

I'm not waiting that long for my bath.

Yeah, well, it's not up to you.

Jack.

Maybe we can just come back.

Come back?

In seven years?

What if it's not here?

What if some local farmer

decides to slash and burn the entire basin?

Instead of the fountain of youth,

we'll have a giant rice paddy.

This is our only chance. You know it is.

Do you really wanna give in, now we're this close?

Look...

you know I got your back, right?

We've been in the trenches a hundred times together...

but I'm not going in that jungle.

Damn straight, man.

Thank you.

This is my expedition, and we're going to the orchid.

No.

We're not.

Don't be an idiot, Sam.

This is bigger than penicillin, for God's sake.

Your lives will be saved by this drug.

People will live longer,

we'll stay young longer.

If we don't put this to human trials,

it's gonna be a crime against humanity.

Two people have died already.

Scientists have always risked their lives

to change the world.

If they didn't, we wouldn't have cures

for yellow fever, polio and smallpox.

We all knew the risks.

We thought we did,

until you decided to start making decisions

behind our backs.

[♪♪♪]

[SCOFFS]

What're you talking about?

He offered Bill an extra 50 grand

to keep going up the Mendranang,

even though he knew it wasn't safe.

[QUIETLY] Oh, my God.

Is that true, Jack?

I was thinking of the expedition.

You were thinking of your career.

Look...

...you're my assistant.

I don't need to consult you!

I'm the one with authority here.

We're in the middle of the jungle, Jack.

At this point,

your authority is what we say it is.

Guess you got a mutiny on your hands.

Thank you.

[♪♪♪]

Okay.

Keep it high.

Careful.

Center it right here.

[CHATTERING]

All right.

What're you doing?

Never seen a man shave before?

[GRUNTS]

Probably a lot sharper

before you attacked that alligator.

Crocodile.

What's that mean?

That means "a new beginning."

It's Korean.

I got it when I was in the military.

What brought you here?

Long story.

Where am I gonna go?

All right.

Here's the deal.

I was in the Special Forces.

And I saw

and did things that...

I wanted to forget.

Sometimes we do the wrong things

for the right reasons, you know?

That's not very long, as stories go.

Yeah.

Well... I got out of the military,

came here, and bought The Bloody Mary.

Just wanted to...

start a new life.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

[RAIN FALLING, [THUNDER CRASHING]

Oh.

TRAN: On three. Ready?

[ALL GROAN]

Whoo!

SAM: All right.

[BLIPPING]

[BEEPING]

Let me explain.

Why in the hell didn't you tell me about this?

The minute someone makes a call,

this expedition's over.

Exactly.

[DIALING]

All I'm asking for is a few more hours.

We continue on the Mendranang,

take our orchid samples,

then we call for help.

Forget about it, Jack, all right?

I'm getting us outta here.

[THUNDER RUMBLES]

Think about this, Gordon.

You're about to become a billionaire.

Do you really wanna give all that up?

I don't care about the money, all right?

I want to live.

[GRUNTING]

SAM: Where's Mitchell?

Resting his feet.

Should I go get him? No, no.

Let him rest till we get everything loaded.

Okay.

Those blisters are pretty nasty.

Mitchell.

You okay?

What is it?

[GAGS] Tell me.

[GASPING, GAGGING]

[WHIMPERS]

[HISSING]

What did you do to him, Jack?

What is it?

What're you talking about?

You were in there alone with him.

What did you do?

He was resting his feet.

I didn't do anything.

It's our only way outta here.

FYI, Bill, the raft is gone!

We can get it back.

How? Huh?

How? We gonna...

We gonna swim after it now?

Look.

The village is here.

Jack is following the Mendranang.

We cut across the jungle.

We can catch him on the other side.

Right.

Catch him where?

He's going to that orchid.

We find that flower...

...we find that raft.

Oh, thank God. It's, uh... It's Jack Byron.

Listen, something terrible has happened.

We... We took the wrong way on the Mendranang.

We... We went over a waterfall.

I haven't seen anyone since.

I am...

I think I'm the only one left.

[HISSING]

Wait, wait. Shh, shh.

Listen.

[HISSING]

Oh, shit. Come on!

Oh, shit.
