With no more material to make another raft, they hack through the jungle to beat Jack to the orchids and retrieve their raft. Jack uses the commotion to steal the raft. The others arrive just as it finishes, so Bill sets the building on fire in hopes of killing the anaconda, but notices that it already made its escape. An anaconda drops down from the rafters and swallows Gordon alive soon after she leaves the building. As Jack joins the others at the raft, Sam discovers Gordon and the spider bite. Jack is unable to convince him to allow the expedition to continue, so he paralyzes Gordon using a venomous spider. Gordon discovers Livingston's radio and gun and realizes they could have called for help long ago. Wanting to leave, they start building an escape raft. Jack says that since they must be close to the orchids, they should press on, though the others contend that there is no evidence that the orchids will have the same effect on humans. The team realizes that the snakes are unusually large in size because their lives have been extended through the orchids, which are a part of the local food chain. They find themselves in a small native village consisting of thatched huts and a disembowelled anaconda with a pair of human legs hanging out of the snake's abdomen. They travel to Bill's friend, John Livingston, who lives on the river, to see if Bill can borrow his boat, but they find Livingston dead and his boat wrecked. However, most of the team demand that the expedition be called off. Bill assures them that it was the largest snake he has ever seen and that it should take weeks for it to grow hungry again.
