I was in Rwanda, Chechnya, Bosnia.

I do volunteer work for Greenpeace

once in a while.

What drew you to Greenpeace?

Women.

Greenpeace is 80-percent female.

Noble.

Noble was last year.

This year I'm getting paid.

Hammond's check cleared,

or I wouldn't go on this wild-goose chase.

You're going to the only place

where the geese chase you.

Dad! Dad!

Kelly, honey, you found it.

What took you so long?

Couldn't get a cab.

Sweetie, that's okay.

I've got to tell you something.

- I don't even know this woman.

- You've known Karen for 10 years.

She doesn't have Sega.

She's such a troglodyte.

Cruel, but good word use.

Why can't I stay with Sarah?

She's out of town. Karen's fantastic.

She'll take you places.

You'll have a fantastic time.

Stop saying "fantastic".

Where are you going?

It's only for a few days.

I wouldn't be going if it wasn't important.

I'm your daughter full time. You can't

abandon me whenever opportunity knocks.

That hurts. Your mom tell you to say that?

Dr Malcolm, downstairs, please.

I know we've had some hard going.

But in the last few years,

we've started to work things out.

Yeah, but crack on me a bit. Ground me

or something. Send me to my room.

You never do any of that stuff.

Why would l? You turned out so...

beautiful, brilliant, powerful,

funny and generous.

The queen, goddess. my inspiration.

Dr Malcolm.

I could come be your research assistant,

like in Austin.

This is nothing like Austin.

Anyway, you have your own stuff.

Your gymnastics competition.

You've been training for months.

Gymnastics?

I scrubbed out, got cut from the team.

Thanks for knowing.

I'm sorry, honey.

I know how much that meant to you.

You like having kids.

You just don't want to be with them.

It wasn't me who dumped you and split

for Paris, so don't take it out on me.

Dr Malcolm, downstairs!

Honey, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You want some good parental advice?

Don't listen to me.

How are we doing here?

The specs say it can't deform at 12,000 PSI,

so we'll test it.

- Let's clear. We clear?

- What's this?

A high hide.

A high hide.

You know, you go up and hide, high.

It goes up to where the trees are and

keeps the researchers out of harm's way.

Actually, it puts them

at a very convenient biting height.

Do you have the time?

- Why?

- We're leaving in three hours.

This is so cool.

Lindstradt air rifle.

Fires a subsonic Fluger dart.

- It work better than your satellite phone?

- Funny.

I loaded it with enhanced venom from

Conus purpurascens: South Sea cone shell.

most powerful neurotoxin in the world.

Acts within 0.002 of a second.

Faster than nerve-conduction velocity.

So the animal's down
