But their plane crashes and the trio of mercenaries he hired are killed. Grant later finds his son, Eric, and seemed to reconcile his love with his ex-wife, Amanda. When the group is attack by the Spinosaurus on the river, Paul used himself as bait, so that the others could escape. This gave Grant enough time to scare the Spinosaurus away, by using a flare gun. He survives the incident and escapes the island. It is implied that he and his ex-wife reconcile after the events of the film, having grown closer from surviving the events together.
