Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid Page #4

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.

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.

Am I interrupting something?

No. No, I was...

- I was just going to bed.

- Yeah.

Well, before you do that,

we need to talk.

We got a problem.

See the water level?

In high water,

the Mendranang gets rough.

We could turn around,

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'll take a lot longer.

And if we turn back,

then we're definitely screwed.

We'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.

That does sound great, Jack.

But I was never any good at history.

You want me to risk

the Mendranang...

...it'll cost you

an extra 50 thousand.

Done.

Done?

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.

Research proposals?

Yeah. Research proposals.

You're not the only company

we're in bed with.

We're the prettiest

and most popular.

Like sleeping with

the head cheerleader.

Not quite.

Come on, you know you love us.

I love your cash.

Then let me

get a look at that file.

After this orchid thing goes bust,

you'll 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.

River's flooded.

We can't see the banks.

Miss our turnoff?

It's just ahead.

What the hell was that?

- Rudder's jammed.

- What?

Watch out.

Sh*t!

Get up! Everybody up!

Hey.

What's going on?

Goddamn it.

Sh*t! We've blown the head gasket.

Are we all right?

Hey, what's going on?

- What is it?

- We got problems.

- What's wrong, man?

- Bill, wait.

What are you talking about?

What problems?

Son of a b*tch.

The current's too strong.

- We missed our turnoff.

- I know. Come on, baby.

Come on, man.

- What is it?

- What is it?

What do you see?

Come on.

You got this. Come on, girl.

- Everybody! Hang on!

- Hang on to what?!
