Mega Piranha

We're not a communist country, Mr. Ambassador.

Whatever you're thinking....

I'm not concerned about the communism.

I'm concerned about our trade agreement.

And the sanctions which are right now being prepared in Washington DC to be imposed against you.

Oh, is that a threat?!

No, it's a reality.

I thought you boys wanted to watch the sunrise. This is no fun. - Ok.Ok.

Maybe we shouldn't talk about politics right now.

Do you guys hear something?

Oh my god. what could do that to an aligator?

Dios mio..Que sera

Oh, no!

What the fuck is going on here?

What the fuck is that?!

Fitch..

US Ambassador, Arnold Regis was assassinated this morning.

Along with a top Venezuelan diplomat he was with.

Someone blew up their boat.

I need you to get down to Orinoco River in the Amazon base immediately.

Colonel Antonio Diaz is running the investigation from Pueno Ayacucho.

About 20 click down river from the explosion.

He's claiming it was terrorists.

The CIA thinks it could be the start of an Anti-American military coup.

I need you to the check out that river bottom.

And tell me what really happened before we have another Afghanistan on our hands.

Do whatever it takes, and do it fast.

And Fitch...

Yes sir?

Good luck.

Thanks, sir.

We're close.

Very close.

Monroe, look!

We need to get a piece of that to brief to the lab immediately.

Chemical compounds on the boat are identical to the L23 mutation strain.

The diameter of this marks are significantly wider than a normal job.

How much wider?

At least 4 times.

It has to be them.

They must be doubling their size every few days.

No...no...

they are growing exponentially.

If this is correct they may be doubling in size every 36 hours.

See if you can pull a decent DNA sample off the boat.

We have to contact Colonel Diaz immediately.

It is imperative all river traffic must be stopped.

I've already told Colonel Diaz, he won't listen.

All he cares about is keeping people out of that jungle.

And you know why.

Look... if you want to keep this lab opened.

You have to keep your theories to yourself.

How much time until the piranhas hit their next magnitude?

24 hours. - At the most...

Then we need to stop them before that.

Jason Fitch, US State Department.

Sorry my Spanish is little rust. I'm here to meet Colonel Diaz.

Come on.

They sent out from the State Department right?

About that boat that's destroyed this morning?

No comment.

Please stop My name is Sarah Monroe.

I'm a genetics professor from UCLA.

I've been working with the ISF for the past 2 years on a hydro biological experiment.

Hydro-biological? What does that have to do...

We increase the local food supply by genetically redesigning certain species of fish

to make them more robust.

I was in charge of the Serrasalminae, more commonly known as the piranha.

Look, I really don't have time to talk about this right now...

Colonel Diaz, I know Please listen.

One of my test groups Lot L23 and it specially bred through secretely large strain.

That I labeled Serrasalminae Gigantus.

They became uncontrollable and had to be terminated.

However I do believe that they are either been stolen or they've escaped.

And they are now breeding in the wild.

This sound like a problem for the fishing game industry.

You don't get it!

They ate those people They ate the whole darn boat!

And if we don't do something in the next 24 hours.

They're going to grow and grow and grow and take everything out in their path.

Diaz thinks I'm crazy.

Here, take my card Come to the lab and see for yourself.

It's a piece of the hull.

Maybe you can convince Diaz better than I have.

Okay, alright.

And be careful.

He's a close-minded paranoid son of a witch.

Come on.

Guns from China, are good.

We don't need the United States anymore.

Senor Fitch, welcome to the Amazon.

Listen, on behalf of my country I wish to express my deepest sympathy.

And I assure you that the criminals responsible for this will be put to justice.

I reserved you a private room here on our base.

I had plan to stay in the hotel Colonel.

Nonsense.

This way, I know exactly where you are.

I'm not a ballistic expert but...

I can't detect any carbon, sulfur or heat of any kind.

You see right over here, where the wood isn't torn, is all serrated edges.

Has anyone suggest that this boat was attacked by animals?

Animals.

You mean like alligators?

Maybe like a group of animals working together?

So...

that's who you were talking to the airport, ha?

That crazy American scientist ha?

Well, she has nothing to do with it.

All she wants is money.

Let me tell you something This serration were made after the explosion, Okay?

From some fish, gnawing at the carbon.

I need to dive the river right away.

Told Secretary Grady that I would.

Well... we don't want to disappoint Secretary Grady, would we?

No, Colonel, we wouldn't.

I make sure I fly you there immediately.

Lead the way.

We are approaching the location of the boat's last radio transmission.

When are we going to land?

We're not going to land.

This is the jungle, Mr. Fitch.

As far as the eyes can see, there's no place to land.

Then why the fuck are we in a helicopter, Colonel?

I need to dive that river right away.

Find the debris if we find out whether it's an explosion or animal attack.

It was an explosion.

This area is now off limits.

Anything to be done here, will be done by myself.

My country needs answer, Colonel.

Your country, what about my country?

You Americans come here treat us like we're from a third world country.

Like we're children We can take care of ourselves!

We're not children, Senor Fitch!

And you can tell Grady that for me.

Entire American protest were seen on the street of Coracus Venezuela this afternoon.

Follow the assassination of the US ambassador, Arnold Regis.

The primary architect of now controversial Pan American free trade condition".

No group has yet claim responsibility for the attack".

Screw this.

You take me up river.

Let's go.

What is going on down there?

They just pulled me out of a meeting.

Colonel Diaz has asked me to remove you from the case.

And he wants you gone by this afternoon.

There's something going on with Colonel Diaz that has nothing to do with that boat disappearance.

That's the river itself.

Maybe a submerged mine, or animal attack maybe gators, or fish.

Fish?

Yeah, fish.

American scientist down here suggested a group of piranha.

Alright...alright. You just keep doing what you're doing.

But send me the report immediately.

Yes, sir.

I'll fend off Colonel Diaz, tell him I can't get you out until tomorrow.

Thank you, sir.

And Fitch That doesn't give you much time.

So get on it.

Look, if I'm not back here in 20 minutes, I want you to call Secretary...

On 2nd thought,

Here 20 minutes.

Call this woman, Okay? If I'm not back, 20 minutes.

Thank you. - No problem.

What the fuck!

Yeah, Secretary Grady.

I figured it out.

It wasn't an explosion It wasn't terrorist.

It was giant piranha.

Yes sir, giant piranha.

I know...

I will, I'll keep you informed, sir.

Yes sir. Thank you, sir.

So... think a bunch of these can make a boat disappear?

What the hell is this?

Genetically modified piranha, Your terrorist.

There's an inlet by the river, there's a whole school of this thing.

Boat wreckage everywhere.

This creatures?

They're man-made?

The result of an failed experiment.

I found them Colonel, and all we need is figure out how to kill them.

Here... it's the exact coordinates of where they are.

Latitude 5' 48 degrees North, Longitude 67 degrees West.

Now what I'm going to do is to take our fish here to our crazy American scientist friend.

She helped designed this thing.

Maybe she can figure out a way to exterminate them.

Oh, Secretary Grady didn't tell you I'm not leaving today.

Have a nice day, Colonel.

Knock...

Little present for you guys.

Oh my god!

That's the sample we needed.

This thing's incredible.

Gordon. - Yeah.

I need you to get me a projection of the size, ratio data.

We need to establish migration patterns.

I'm on it.

Are there any of these things left?

Yeah, maybe hundreds

I think they were trapped.
