![]() Just when Royce is about to be given a death blow from the Predator, Isabelle drags her body towards her sniper's rifle and shoots the Predator. Right away, the Predator finds Royce behind a tree and attacks him. While Royce is hiding behind a tree to figure out a new strategy, the Predator changes his point of view from heat signal, to tracking Royce's heartbeat. He uses the fire to hide his heat signature, and a violent fight ensues. Royce booby-traps Edwin's body with grenades, using him as bait to disorient the Predator. Royce appears, never having boarded the ship, and saves Isabelle by stabbing Edwin through the throat. With Isabelle, paralyzes her with the neurotoxin poison on his scalpel and reveals that on Earth he was a psychopathic murderer, and feels that he fits in on this planet among the monsters. The larger Predator kills its foe and then destroys the ship as it takes off. Royce frees the smaller Predator and heads for the ship as the two Predators confront each other. When Isabelle refuses to abandon him, Royce leaves them both behind, and they are caught by the third and final large Predator. Edwin is injured by a ring trap as he, Royce, and Isabelle head for the encampment. Stans is killed by a second Predator, which Hanzo then succeeds in killing in a samurai-like sword fight at the cost of his own life. In the ensuing chase, Nikolai sacrifices himself to kill one of the Predators, using an explosive. Noland attempts to murder the group during the night, but Royce creates noise to attract the Predators, who kill Noland. ![]() Royce hopes that if they free the smaller Predator being held prisoner in the encampment, it might be able to take them home using the other Predators' spaceship. Noland also reveals that there is even a blood feud between the larger Predators and the smaller ones. He explains that the Predators sharpen their killing skills by collecting warriors and dangerous beasts from other worlds and bringing them to the planet to hunt. The group next meets Noland ( Laurence Fishburne), an air assault soldier who has survived on the planet for years by scavenging and hiding in an abandoned structure. Isabelle reveals that she has heard of these creatures before, from a report by the only survivor of a Special Forces team who encountered one in Val Verde, Guatemala in 1987. Three larger Predators attack, killing Mombasa, but the rest of the group escapes. They follow the quadrupeds' tracks to a hunting encampment and find a captive Predator. ![]() Hearing Cuchillo's cries for help, they find his dead body being used and his voice being mimicked in an attempt to bait them into a trap - whoever killed him had laid several small rings around the body. After the party is attacked by a pack of quadrupedal alien beasts, Royce deduces that the planet is some type of game preserve and that the humans are being hunted as game. Royce says they'll need a different plan. Arriving at higher ground, they find themselves staring at an alien sky and conclude that they are not on Earth. In the jungle, they find empty cages, plants with a neurotoxin poison that Edwin collects on a small scalpel, and a deceased United States Special Forces soldier who'd fortified his location with several crude animal traps. He speculates that they have been brought to the jungle for a reason since with the exception of Edwin they are all armed and lethal killers. Royce takes charge but reveals little about himself, though Isabelle suspects that he is a mercenary and former Black Ops (black operations) soldier. None of them know where they are or how they arrived there. He meets several others who have arrived there in the same manner: Mexican drug cartel enforcer Cuchillo ( Danny Trejo), Spetsnaz soldier Nikolai ( Oleg Taktarov), Israel Defense Forces sniper Isabelle ( Alice Braga), Revolutionary United Front officer Mombasa ( Mahershala Ali), death row inmate Stans ( Walton Goggins), Yakuza enforcer Hanzo ( Louis Ozawa), and doctor Edwin ( Topher Grace). Nearby he sees another man whose chute didn't open and was killed on impact. A parachute attached to his back opens and he he makes a hard landing. Royce ( Adrien Brody) awakens from unconsciousness to find himself falling toward a rain-forest.
