Line 42:

At a swimming hole the next day, John Cooper, his girlfriend Kristin, his best friend Tommy, and Tommy's girlfriend Theresa find a pet [[burmese python]] that belonged to Lisa. Deputy Greg shows up, mentioning that Lisa is missing, and takes the snake. Lisa's body is found, appearing to have been corroded by acids. Greg suspects John, since he works at a plant that uses acids. Greg is also Kristin's ex-fiancé, with her having left him when her first love came back to town.

Scientist Anton Rudolph is talking with [[NSA]] Special Agent Parker, explaining that the cargo is an abnormally large [[reticulated python]] that has been genetically engineered in [[Southeast Asia]], blending several species. In the words of Dr. Rudolph, it is, "''a perfect killing machine. A 129-foot all-terrain vehicle, capable of speeds exceeding 50 miles an hour, with skin that can deflect an antitank round, enhanced night vision, and a voracious appetite for human flesh''". The NSA team plans an assault against the snake, hoping to kill it discreetly before it eats more people.

The snake kills a real estate agent and the agent's client. It leaves behind the client and Roberta's body. John arrives as the snake leaves, furthering suspicion against him. The sheriff shuts down his brother Brian's plant, furthering the tensions between him and Brian. As John leaves the plant, he runs into Greg's car and his bike is damaged. They end up in a fistfight, mostly over Kristin, though they ultimately reconcile. When the body of the real estate agent is found with the same acid damage, the sheriff orders John arrested. Kristin yells at Greg when they come to arrest John, but he says that he does not think John is the killer.
