Anaconda 4: Trail Of Blood

---

The latest serum

has surpassed expectations.

The test subject

has grown five times normal size...

...within days of the serum

being introduced into its system.

But the only known side effect

is aggressive behaviour...

...that requires constant feeding

to maintain a higher metabolic rate.

For now, constant sedation

of the subject is needed...

...but the results are very promising.

Regeneration only occurs...

...when there is immediate introduction

of the serum into the wounded area.

My past attempts

to save older decomposed...

...or severely damaged tissue

have failed.

The latest genetic modifications

to the black-orchid strain...

...have had the predicted effect

on the serum extract.

The serum now successfully

provides the apparent benefit...

...of halting decomposition

of living tissue.

This, of course,

would rev olutionise medicine...

...if properly applied.

Mr. Murdoch is expecting you.

Right this way, sir.

Come in.

Sir, sorry to disturb you.

Mr. Eugene has arrived.

- Send him in.

- Right away, sir.

Come in, please.

Sir.

There's a briefcase over there.

Have a look inside.

That's $1 million.

It's yours if you'll do a little job

for me.

- I'm listening.

- Sit.

There's a cottage

in a forest not far from here...

...where an employee of mine has been

conducting certain experiments...

...the outcome of which

may be beneficial to my health.

But here's the thing.

We've lost contact with him.

He appears to have disappeared.

- His experiments were successful?

- I believe so.

I believe he created a new hybrid

of the blood orchid...

...extracted a serum from it,

and that the serum works.

And that's why he's gone missing...

...because he has found

another employer.

Now, I want you

to collect all the plant material...

...the serum, all his research notes.

- Find him and kill him.

- Just one man?

I should warn you...

...that some say he's one

of the smartest men on the planet.

He may have one or two tricks

up his sleeve.

This is a lot of money for one man.

I have invested over $50 million

in this project...

...and the returns

could be incalculable.

I want results

no matter what the cost.

One other thing.

There's a photo of a girl in there

who is also involved with the project.

She knows too much.

Should she cross your path...

...remove her from the equation.

It would be my pleasure.

That's what I wanted to hear.

One other thing.

Time is of the essence.

I have bone cancer.

Without this little concoction...

...I would be dead within the week.

And that new serum

might change that?

Well, that is my hope.

Until I see you, sir.

Good hunting.

How the heck

am I supposed to read this?

Hey, you.

You lost?

Oh, no, no, it's okay, we're...

They're officers.

Well, I got a little turned around.

The map's in Romanian.

You know, I saw something out there.

Something big.

Wait, you see it or hear it?

Both.

All right, well,

why don't you just stick with us, okay?

So, what's your story?

I spend the summers

with my grandmother.

She lives in a town nearby.

Are you guys all cops?

I'm not. I study flowers.

Flowers?

And you have two cops with you?

What are you doing out here?

Well, I'm studying for a career

in palaeopathology.

People in town told me there was a dig

going on in these mountains...

...so I wanted to check it out.

- Palaeo- what?

- The study of human ancient remains.

Yeah, it's okay,

my friends don't understand it either.

Wait. Wait a sec.

- You hear that?

- No.

When the forest goes quiet,

there's a predator near.

- Come on.

- Are you serious?

- What's your name again?

- Alex.

I'm Amanda.

You know,

you really shouldn't be out here alone.

What the hell is that?

Listen, you guys, we're too exposed.

We need to take cover. Come on.

Yeah.

So I'm working this dig with

this hotshot Ph. D. Who's on sabbatical.

And he starts yapping to me

about his new methodology...

...and how he's developed a tool

that allows him to dig faster...

...without damaging any artefacts.

He also tells me

the way we do it is prehistoric...

...and nobody does it that way

anymore.

So?

- So I'm not done yet.

- "I'm not done yet. "

So hotshot,

he drags me over to his site.

He hops down in the hole...

...and he immediately proceeds

to chop off two of his fingers...

...with this brand-new tool of his.

That's a bit of a morbid story there,

Jackson.

I was a little shocked myself.

I did ask

if he was gonna leave fingers...

...for future generations to uncover.

You were jealous

he could out-dig you.

Well, I don't know about that, but he

can count to three faster than me.

All right, come on, guys, let's focus.

We're not too far away.

You know, if what they say is true...

...this could be one of the most

important discoveries on the continent.

Roland, any news on your brother

or Team 1?

No, haven't heard anything yet.

Heather, nice tunes, honey.

- Yeah, man.

- Yeah.

I can't help it.

I am a slave to the rhythm.

I am a slave to the rhythm.

I wanna take my clothes off.

I wanna...

I wanna touch your body.

Great. That's the last thing we need.

Any way around it?

- Let me look.

- Anyone pack a chain saw?

- Well, we can use the rock chisels.

- Yeah, and we'd be here for days.

No, no, this is the only route

to the base camp.

Can we go off-road?

I don't know.

Yeah, we could go off.

We're not gonna get back on.

All right, let's break it down.

We haven't heard from Team 1

in two days.

From the looks of this log,

they didn't come through here.

We've had no radio,

no cell-phone communication.

- Guess what, guys. We're walking.

- Are you crazy?

- Jackson, it's five miles, man.

- We're walking, Heather.

- Okay.

- Okay, listen up.

Grab your packs and travel light.

We'll get to Team 1.

In the morning, we'll come back,

use the equipment to move this tree.

- Jackson.

- Yeah?

Why don't you head out now?

We'll hunt the rest of the gear

and we'll meet you halfway.

- All right.

- Okay.

- It's getting dark pretty fast.

- Well, let's move.

Hey. Did you see that?

- What?

- Did you hear?

What?

Hey, your eyes

are playing tricks on you.

Come on. It's been a long drive.

Let's get the rest of the gear

out of Jackson's Jeep.

Hey, Alex, let's go check this out.

- Vasile, you guys stay out here.

- Okay.

- Want a flashlight?

- I've got one.

Oh, my God,

I can't believe he did this.

Flowers.

No, you don't understand.

I've been looking for these flowers.

Hybrids, probably twice the potency.

Get back.

Here, you know how to use this?

- That was just the wind, right?

- Maybe.

- What the hell are you doing?

- Don't ask questions.

You're gonna blow this place up?

- Do you know how to use that stuff?

- I know what I'm doing.

Put an end to these flowers,

hopefully, I'll put an end to it.

- An end to what?

- How'd you get here?

- My Jeep, why?

- We'll need it.

We've gotta get about a 100 yards

before I blow this place...
