Dutch and his team, Mac, Blain, Billy, Poncho and Hawkins arrive in a Central American Country. Billy and the team take a helicopter with Dillon to a location near where the helicopter of a cabinet minister went down and rappel to the ground. They arrive at the crash site and Billy tells Dutch that two prisoners were take by twelve guerrillas and then six men followed in American government issued boots. While following the trail, he notices something in the trees and finds the remains of four men skinned alive in some trees. He tells Dutch that there was a firefight and the Green Berets fired into the trees, but he can't find evidence of who they were shooting at. He leads the team to a guerrilla base and they attack it. They kill all the guerrillas in the base and afterwards, Billy laughs at a joke Hawkins tells him. As Billy is looking in the trees he thinks he sees something, but can't be sure. Anna tries to escape and Hawkins is killed. Dutch orders his team to search for Hawkins' body and while searching, Blain is killed. Later, Billy and Anna hear a scream in the jungle. Poncho asks Billy what he knows and he tells him what is killing them isn't a man and they are all going to die. After Blain's body is taken during the night, Dutch realizes they are being killed one by one and Billy adds, like a hunter. The team sets up booby traps in the trees and catch the Predator in a net. It shoots its way out and as Dutch, Anna and Poncho are making their way to the evacuation point, Billy stays behind to fight the Predator. He is then killed by it.
