Dark Amazon Page #2

And, well, here we are now on

the verge of a cure.

What was the hardest thing

during your research process?

Actually, the hardest part was

finding the frogs.

See, they're very rare. And their

migration patterns have shifted...

Due to all the environmental changes.

Fortunately, with the help of

the paje and the tribe...

We've been able to get all the

samples we needed.

Can I speak in Portuguese?

Oh, that's good.

[In Portuguese] John is a serious man.

He is not one of those foreigners.

Who comes to Brazil to research

and steal our knowledge,

which is called biopiracy.

People who come here to just

take and give nothing back.

But not John. John

thinks just like me...

That we can create possibilities

that will benefit mankind

without harming nature.

We also have a lot to learn

from the indigenous people.

There is a need for

international support,

Brazilian support and this partnership.

A unity that is pro-humanity,

to find cures for our diseases.

[Water lapping]

To the tribe, anhang is spirit

protector of the forest.

The flame represents his fiery eyes.

They say you hear a whistle

when he's nearby.

[Speaking native language] The cures for

all diseases are here in the forest.

Everything is connected.

You and me. The forest.

When we learn to become

one again and respect each other.

We will cure all the ailments...

In the world.

That is all.

[Indistinct voices]

[Nikki]

Oh, my stuff!

What happened?

Where's my equipment?

Oh, geez.

[Esteves speaking Portuguese]

My God! Its all destroyed.

[Mina speaking Portuguese]

All the work is destroyed.

Rafael! Guys, help me! I found...

- Oh, I found...

- Don't move him too much.

[Mina speaking Portuguese]

Can you move, Rafael?

- Are you okay?

- Get a first aid kit.

[Rafael speaking Portuguese]

What happened?

- I don't know where it is.

- There's one somewhere in here.

[Esteves speaking Portuguese]

What happened, Rafael?

Look around on the ground.

We have a first aid kit.

[Rafael speaking Portuguese]

It happened so fast...

Everything started flying around.

[Mina speaking Portuguese]

Did you see who did this to you?

[Mina speaking Portuguese]

We need help!

What was that?

What was what?

There's something out there.

What?

I just saw something out there,

you didn't see that?

- No! What?

- The samples were destroyed.

What? Are you sure, John?

What are we gonna do, John?

We need those samples.

Who would do that?

Rafael?

All right, let's take care of Rafael?

What'd he say?

I don't know. He doesn't

remember anything.

How can he not know anything?

Look at this place.

Whoever did this wasn't alone.

The samples are missing.

What?

[Mina speaking Portuguese]

Where were the samples?

[Esteves speaking Portuguese]

They were all here on the table.

Theres nothing left. Its all gone.

Can you stop recording

while we figure this out?

Hey, look all over the ground.

Okay, okay, all right.

Where the f*** is the first aid kit?

Robby, stop it!

It's our first night here and

strange things are happening.

Oh my God, Robby! Would you just

shut up? I'm trying to sleep here.

Excuse me. Jeez.

Come on, man, this is important.

You know what's important, Robby?

This.

This doesn't happen by magic, okay?

If I don't get eight hours of sleep

tomorrow, I'm gonna be super cranky.

- Dude you're always cranky.

- You're cranky right now.

- Shut up, Robby.

- Okay, ladies. Let's settle down.

I'm googling the spirit that they were

telling us about. What's it called?

- Anga, Ana?

- Something like that.

Hanna, hung-gi.

Did you just say a hung-guy?

That got him up, now he's awake.

Hell, yeah, I'm up.

Okay, anyways.

This is interesting, guys.

That this spirit,

whatever its name is...

Was first encountered

by the Jesuit priests

when they arrived in the Amazon...

And they saw him as some sort

of devil figure.

Oooh. Creepy. Interesting.

Do you know what I think is interesting?

What?

Is how the hell do you get service

in the middle of the Amazon?

Because my phone is awesome!

Shhh!

Guys, did you hear that?

- What? No, I swear to God.

- I just heard something.

Hit the lights!

What was it?

Shhh! Quiet.

[Someone farts]

Oh my God! Are you kidding me?

Oh, that's so gross.

- Oh, that's so disgusting.

- That's so nasty.

All right, guys. Don't

forget to incorporate

my question into your answers, okay?

All right.

Ben, what do you think happened last

night? Was it something supernatural?

I don't think what happened

last night was supernatural.

The fact is, is there are some

people who'd just rather not see...

John's research released to the public.

Who would do something like

that and why?

Environmentalists, locals.

Maybe even some of the native Indians

who just don't want us here.

But nothing supernatural.

- What about you, mina?

- What do you think?

I don't know what happened, but I'm sure

there's a logical explanation for it.

All right, that was great.

Thanks guys.

Did you shoot everything that happened?

Yeah, yeah. We're getting all that.

I really wanted to film, did

you film Rafael, too?

Mmmm hmmm.

We're good though, right?

- Are we done?

- Yeah, you guys are good.

Thanks.

What are you doing?

What, man? I'm just doing my job.

No, this isn't part of the documentary.

Babe, come on.

- This isn't a reality TV show.

- Easy.

Okay, Ben. Calm down.

I'm just saying, you wanna

look foolish on the camera?

Babe, no, it's fine.

Don't worry about that.

Why don't we just hold

on 'till we figure it out?

Ben, Nikki doesn't do reality

TV anymore.

She's not going to look foolish.

I'm doing this.

Like, I'm gonna make

sure she looks good.

I know.

What does that mean, Ben?

It doesn't mean anything. No, it's fine.

It's fine. We're good. I'm good.

Okay. All right. Are we good?

No more freak-outs?

All right, let's go.

The part of the Amazon jungle

we're about to go to is very dangerous.

I'm not certain how I feel

about you going along there.

Well, I came all this way, John. I'm

not going back without the samples.

Mina he's right. It's just,

it's not safe.

Oh, babe, come on.

It'd be better if you just stayed here

with the tribe and the camera crew.

Whoa, wait a minute. No.

Anywhere you guys go, we go.

It's gonna be pretty dangerous.

That's fine. We are more than

prepared to handle anything.

Um, are we?

Yes.

We're not going to stay here

when I know I can help you guys.

Oh, mina.

We're gonna have to travel there by

canoe for the better part of a day.

Then I can guarantee you that every day

we're gonna be traveling by water.

You really think you're up to that?

I think so.

How big is the canoe again?

Every canoe holds five, six people.

- That big, huh?

- That big, huh.

Hey, look, kiddo. We're not

gonna be leaving right away.

Why don't you sleep on it and

make your decision then?

Ask her about anhang.

Is he the devil?
