[boy shouts, indistinct]
[laughs]
- What are you doing here?
- I'm sorry.
I did try to call.
Jia, we need to talk.
I have nothing to say to you.
I didn't ask you in.
It's your brother.
He's missing.
What?
Are you kidding me?
He called from
the research site in China.
[Man on video]
Were you there too?
What was that?
- Go take a look.
- Ethan!
- Whoa!
- [men shouting]
Luke.
Luke!
[rattling]
[men shouting, screaming]
[audio stops]
I will find Luke.
But I need your help.
I have a team on the ground
in China.
We fly out tonight.
[beeping]
[gasps]
[rattling]
[chittering]
[chittering]
[rock music playing]
Could be in Shanghai
drinking beer.
Oh, come on. You should
take pride in your work.
Work? We might as well
be looking for Bigfoot.
Yeah. That's what
makes it fun.
Fun? A wild weekend
in Bangkok... that's fun.
You need to get out more,
mate.
- [phone rings]
- Get my phone.
Righto.
Whoa-ho!
Who's Jia?
- Oh, Jesus.
- [phone ringing]
She just doesn't give up.
Are you nuts?
She's smoking hot.
Hey, if you're not interested,
I could...
Hey. She's my sister.
[woman] The taipan.
One of the deadliest reptiles
in the world.
They are also
the most aggressive.
But I am an expert
in venomous animals,
so if anyone who says
the snakes are more afraid
of you then you are of them,
has never met
one of these.
[hissing]
[all gasping]
One bite can paralyze
your entire
central nervous system,
shutting down your major organs
and killing you in hours.
But don't worry,
we can play with this one...
it's fake.
- You want to play?
- Hmm.
Be careful.
It's gonna... bite you!
[kids laugh]
Don't worry,
I have a little brother too.
I bet one day
you'll be just like him.
He's a super-brave adventurer.
[Mason]
The rosy periwinkle...
long rumored
in its native Madagascar
for precious healing powers.
Nobody else believed it,
but our investors took a risk.
Together we've saved the lives
of over 12 million children
of lymphocytic leukemia.
That, and it's the best
investment they ever made.
This is all very educational,
Dr. Kitteridge,
but if you want us to commit,
we need details.
And you'll have them.
We have a team in the field
due to report back any minute.
Gentlemen, I have a reputation
for achieving the impossible.
I'd like you to trust that.
Thanks for coming.
Lisa, will you please
see our friends out?
It'll be my pleasure.
[Lisa] So, are you
flying out tonight?
[conversation continues,
inaudible]
- There's other investors.
- Mason, we're almost broke.
- We need money.
- I know.
- I'll get it.
- When?
Every big pharma company
on the planet
is looking for a breakthrough,
and you've got guys
chasing a fairy tale.
It's not a fairy tale.
We're on the cusp of something
no one has ever seen before.
Something that would
bring Biotech back
as a leader in life extension
pharmaceuticals.
[driver]
Here. Let's have a look.
You sure this is the place?
[phone beeps]
Here is where the locals
put the last sighting.
The northern edge.
Man, it smells
like someone died.
What the hell's that?
Gas build-up from
the old mine, I bet.
Probably methane mixed
with hydrogen sulfide.
It's only dangerous
if you strike a match.
Wasting your time.
The sooner we look around,
the sooner you'll get your beer.
Aaah!
- Luke! Luke!
- [groaning]
Luke, talk to me!
You okay?
[groaning]
- Yeah, I'm okay.
- What the hell's going on?
Answer!
Luke!
- Aaah!
- What?
What is it?
Luke, you're freaking me out,
man. Say something.
I can't believe it.
Ethan, get down here!
- What? No way!
- Now, Ethan.
[Mason's voice] I have
air transport waiting in Beijing
to take us to the rescue camp.
I'm... so sorry, Jia.
Especially after
what happened to your parents.
[man on TV]
Authorities have confirmed
they've found the wreckage
of a light plane
which disappeared
from radar screens
over three weeks ago
near the northern border.
It is believed to be
John Lee,
and his wife Catherine Lee.
You come to my house...
my parents' house...
and you tell me the same thing
that happened to my parents
has happened to my brother.
It's not the same.
He's alive.
- I know he is.
- Shut up.
You were my father's partner.
You're nothing to me.
[man on TV] Lee, who founded the
Biotech pharmaceuticals empire
with Dr. Mason Kitteridge,
was 52 years old.
They leave behind
two young children.
[no audible speech]
[speaking Chinese]
[shouting, indistinct]
Jia...
[young Jia shouting]
[continues shouting]
Oh, don't land there.
Got all the room in the world,
and lands beside the car.
Watch your head.
- Looks like a big one, huh?
- Oh, yeah.
Jia, this is Chen Xhu,
our archeologist.
- [Jia] Hi.
- Hi.
- Milly Piper. Logistics.
- Milly.
So, she's your consultant, huh?
Consultant on what, exactly?
It's need-to-know only.
You don't need to know.
Oh, well, that cleared
everything right the hell up.
Earlier today
we picked up a signal.
It's patchy,
but it could be
a real-time beep
from Luke's GPS.
But we have a problem.
It started about eight hours ago
out of the Gobi Desert.
This one's a monster.
Surface winds
at about 20 knots,
the pressure dropped,
- What's that?
- The last coordinates of Luke and Ethan.
And the signal's still moving.
It'll be a category 4
dust storm
by the time
it hits this valley.
[Milly] We'll be looking
for a needle in a haystack.
- How long?
- Hard to know.
With the air this dry,
the storm could hit
any time in the next 24 hours.
We got two choices.
We wait, we lose
whatever life's left on the GPS.
We go,
and we get caught in this,
then I'm putting
all your lives at risk.
Where did you come from?
[Mason] This is our search
and rescue specialist,
Jack Ridley.
Jack, thanks for coming.
Good to see ya.
Dr. Jia Lee.
One of the men
we're looking for
is her brother.
You serious?
- Can I just explain something?
and bad judgment
is how people end up dead.
Actually, I asked her
to join us.
She has skills that could
be very helpful to us.
All right.
Have it your way.
But you do what I say...
when I say it.
Deal?
- Okay.
- Now, have a four-hour drive
into the mountains,
and that is a long way,
especially with the dust storm
breathing down our ass.
[speaking Chinese]
[replies in Chinese]
Let's go!
[Jack] You know
that's bad for you.
[Gary] Eh, not if you
only eat ten a day.
[Mason] Hey, Jack.
I want to put my bag back there.
Jia, go ahead.
[Jack] All right.
- Do you know him?
- Ridley?
He came here
about two years ago,
after his last rescue mission
in Nepal.
The boy wonder.
Used to be a first-responder
for International Rescue.
They had him set
to run emergency response
back in New York.
What's he doing here?
Something bad went down
on his watch.
He won't talk about it.
