Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid Page #3

Synopsis: In New York, the ambitious Dr. Jack Byron and his associate Gordon Mitchell present the research of his assistant Sam Rogers to the CEO and board of directors of a corporation to sponsor a scientific expedition to Borneo. The objective is to find a flower, Blood Orchid, that flourishes for a couple of weeks every seven years and could be a fountain of youth, prolonging the expectation of life of human beings. They are succeeded and once in Borneo, they realize that it is the raining season and there is no boat available to navigate on the river. They pay US$ 50,000.00 to convince Captain Bill Johnson and his partner Tran to sail to the location. After an accident in a waterfall, the survivors realize that a pack of anacondas have gathered for mating and their nest is nearby the plantation of Blood Orchid, which made them bigger and bigger.

It's the jungle.

Kong.

Hey. You guys seen Kong?

No. Not since last night.

Where are you?

Kong?

We need those results by next month

if we want the FDA off our backs.

Hello? Sh*t!

I can't hear you!

Can you hear me now?

How about now?

Can you hear me now?

- Can you hear me now?

- We can!

Can you hear me now?

- Gail! Oh, my God.

- Sh*t.

Stop the boat!

- I'll go.

- All right.

Hey, Gail! Can you hear me now?!

Oh, I'm gonna kill you!

Stroke, Gail, stroke. Come on.

- Watch your back.

- Hey, Gail! How's the water?

Drop the phone.

It's probably holding you back.

- All right.

- Stay calm.

- Stay calm.

- Use your phone for flotation.

All right, come on, Gail.

- You're almost there.

- It's just like a phone.

I got it.

- Holy sh*t!

- Holy sh*t!

Come on! Come on!

- Get out!

- Hurry up!

Hurry up! Hurry up!

- Come on! Come on!

- Gail, grab it.

- Look out!

- Watch out!

Oh, my God.

Get him, Bill! Get him, Bill!

Get him in the eye, man!

Bill?

Where'd he go?

- Where'd he go?!

- Bill!

I don't see him.

- Where's he gone?

- Oh, my God.

Oh, sh*t, you won.

- You're okay?

- I lost my phone.

Sorry to hear it.

That was either the bravest

or the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

It's a fine line.

- Good as new.

- Thanks.

To Gail...

...who knows it's better to eat

than be eaten.

- To Gail.

- Yeah, yeah, baby.

Almost eaten just to find a flower.

- Hardly seems worth it.

- Oh, it's worth it.

I mean, think about it.

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.

- Yeah.

- That's what I'm talking about, baby.

- At $100 a bottle...

...I'll dive in that river

and fight that croc myself.

So how many flowers does it take

to save the world?

Figure 50 orchids will 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.

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.

Where the hell have you been?

- Damn that thing!

- Where you been, boy?

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.

It's all right.

What if Gail's right?

I mean, cells in a petri dish

are one thing.

- Human trials are another.

- She's wrong.

And when it 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.
