[Even though we are fighting, you're still my big sister.]

- 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.

Were you there too?

What was that?

- Go take a look. - Ethan!

Whoa!

Luke.

Luke!

I will find Luke.

But I need your help.

I have a team on the ground in China.

We fly out tonight.

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.

Get my phone.

Righto.

Whoa-ho!

Who's Jia?

Oh, Jesus.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

who would have otherwise died 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.

- So, are you flying out tonight? - No, in fact, tomorrow.

- 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.

I better myself before, Andrew. I'm willing to do it again.

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.

Here. Let's have a look.

You sure this is the place?

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!

Luke, talk to me! You okay?

- 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.

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.

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 the plane of Biotech CEO

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.

Lee, who founded the Biotech pharmaceuticals empire

with Dr. Mason Kitteridge, was 52 years old.

They leave behind two young children.

Hi Jia, I'm now at the airport.

Er, what we talked the other day,

don't let that bother you.

Because, I'm not a kid anymore.

Don't worry about me.

I'll keep that in mind.

Luke!

Jia...

Luke!

Sister!

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.

- 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, the speed started picking up.

- 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.

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?

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? - Emotion clouds judgment,

and bad judgment is how people end up dead.

Maybe you are right.

- Oh, oh, uh. - Okay.

Not okay!

Who do you think you are?

You don't know me.

I don't need anybody's permission to be here.

Especially someone who rides a Harley and hasn't shaved for a week.

Two days.

And that is a Royal Enfield. Not a Harley.

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, we have a four-hour drive into the mountains,

and that is a long way,

especially with the dust storm breathing down our ass.

? A know-it-all. ?

? I also speak Chinese. ?

Let's go!

Hah.

You know that's bad for you.
