Is anhang the devil?

[Aurora speaking native language]

Anhang is the spirit

who protects the forest.

Anhang has fire in his eyes

and harms people like you.

You take our knowledge,

make your medicines,

destroy the jungle and then

leave without helping us.

Anhang is not the devil!

Youre the devil!

Wow, she sounds so passionate.

What did she say?

She said she's very happy you're here.

We better get going.

Turn her Mike on, fast.

- You sure?

- Yes! Do it now!

I saw the medication in your tent.

When were you going to tell me?

Hoping I didn't have to.

Planned on testing the enzyme on myself.

What kind is it?

Melanoma.

[Nikki]

Oh my God.

Nikki.

Maybe we need to take

you to a hospital, John.

- To chemo?

- No, I'm fine.

[Nikki]

Poor mina.

It's stage 4.

What's the point?

I'd rather stay here and be

productive than...

Waste away in some hospital bed

somewhere.

Like mom did.

Didn't have a choice.

I do.

Mina.

We're gonna take care of this

thing once and for all, for everybody.

Well, I decided to face my

fears and, um...

And, uh, go...

I decided...

I decided to face my fears and

go on this expedition.

I believe that, um...

[Animal growl]

I decided to face my fears and go on

this expedition to find the new samples.

- I believe that.

- Hey.

You scared me, babe. How

long have you been there?

I'm sorry.

I just got here.

Who are you talking to?

Nikki wanted me to do this

video diary thing.

Of course she did.

Hey, listen um...

About you going, I agree with John.

I think you should wait here

and wait for us to get back.

Babe, it's not up to you.

I need to go.

Mina, please listen to me.

It's gonna be very dangerous.

I can't look after you the whole time.

You don't need to look after

me, babe. I'm not a child.

I came here for the samples

and I'm not leaving without them.

Will you turn this thing off

for a second so we can talk?

Yes, but can you please

understand that I...

[Person mumbling]

[Snapping]

There you go!

[Esteves speaking Portuguese]

Are you guys afraid?

You just have to leave us at the shore.

Its dangerous there.

This is Jaime and Luan.

They live in a village nearby.

They are going to take us to

John's cabin.

Oh, okay. Hi.

- Can we interview them?

- Sure.

Can you ask them about anhang?

[Jaime speaking Portuguese]

This Indian went hunting.

He was our neighbor.

When he was in the jungle,

anhang attacked him

and beat him up.

He threw him off his

hammock and attacked him.

His friend found him

and carried him out.

But when he arrived there,

he was barely alive.

I dont abuse nature.

I hunt, but I have my limit.

Because if you abuse nature,

it abuses you back.

You hear a lot of strange

noises in the jungle.

Sometimes you hear a

whistle near your ears.

You really hear it.

Yes, it scares me.

I get very scared.

[Robby]

You guys not coming?

Yeah, we're coming.

I know how much money.

Don't worry.

Everything will turn out okay.

They're sorry, the samples were

destroyed but, you know, cool...

Robby, turn it off, come up slow.

Are we gonna bring your

cameraman with us?

- Robby, come on.

- Okay, okay, I'm coming.

Hey, how's it goin'?

Traffic's pretty bad today.

[Mina]

Yeah, Nikki was my roommate in college.

We've known each other for a long time.

We waiting on somebody?

Yes, Andre was supposed to meet us here.

But he's never on time.

Are the canoe guys coming with us?

No, they don't like

this part of the forest.

Why?

They're afraid of anhang.

I thought that was just a legend.

A lot of people around

here are very superstitious.

Really?

Well, nothing to fear.

They'll come back in the

morning and take us up river.

Obrigado.

Let's start hiking up to the cabin.

- Who's Andre?

- One of our guides.

Knows the jungle as well as Rafael.

And he has a gun, just in case

we encounter any trouble.

What?

[Animal growl]

What the f*** was that?

What the hell was that?

There's nothing to worry about.

Andre will join up with us later.

We need to start hiking up to

the cabin before it's dark.

He's right. You don't want to

be out here at night.

What was that?

There's a lot of monkeys?

Are there a lot of monkeys out here?

There are a lot of monkeys and macaws.

[Robby]

What's going on?

I don't know what's going on.

I just need to breathe for a second.

- Did you hear that?

- Hear what?

Oh my God!

What is it? What is it?

What? You serious?

That spider?

That's not even that big.

Should I get the macro lens for it?

[Mina]

What's going on, Robby?

I'm sorry. I just saw a spider.

I'm fine.

Careful. There's a lot of

poisonous stuff out here.

- See! It could have been poisonous.

- Right.

It's true.

- [Robby] You better now?

- Yes, I'm fine.

Okay.

Wait. Wait, Robby.

[Robby]

What?

Oh my God, Robby.

There's something on your shoulder.

Oh, Robby.

Right.

Like I'm gonna fall for that.

- No, seriously Robby, don't move.

- No, don't.

- Where? Where is it?

- Oh my God, Robby!

Get it off!

Come and get it off! Get it off of me!

Get it the f*** off of me now!

Get it off!

[Laughing]

Oh, God. Come on, you guys.

That wasn't funny.

[Voices speaking together]

[Animal growling]

You guys hear that?

Yeah. I think I heard it, too.

Okay, everybody.

Let's just be quiet for a second.

[Robby makes spooky noise]

Robby, stop it.

- Sorry, John.

- Jesus!

- Sorry, sorry.

- God, sh*t.

- I'm a little late. I'm sorry.

- It's all right.

Okay. Everybody this

is Andre, our guide.

Like a Brazilian ninja, man.

Hi.

This is mina.

Okay, a little spooky, guys.

Don't worry. They're fruit bats.

They don't bite humans.

Come on, guys.

- Hey, Andre?

- Oh, hi.

Hey, can I ask you a few

questions for our documentary?

No, I don't want to talk about anything.

I'm just.. Take you guys to

the forest and that's it.

Okay, just like a few questions?

Two questions.

It'll be really fast, I promise.

- Please? Please?

- Okay.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Okay, thank you. Just really quick,

I promise. All right.

What I have to do?

All right, if you can just tell

me what you know about anhang.

Oh, no, no. I don't want to

talk about anhang 'cause...

Okay, I can show you some interesting

things in the forest, but no anhang.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Can you tell me why you don't

want to talk about anhang?

No, I just don't want to talk about it.

Okay. Did something bad happen

to you before?

No, I just don't want to talk about.

Oh. All right, we'll take you

up on that offer for the woods then.

- Thanks.

- Yeah.

Cut, Robby.

What?

Oh, that's interesting.

If you stab that tree, it bleeds.

- Wow, look at that.

- Oh my God, that's amazing.

What do you call that?

- Bleeding tree.

- That would make sense.

- Oh, that is so sorry.

- Let's go.

Keep going, man. Come on.

This looks like my Uncle Lamars cabin.

I am so proud of you.

You totally speak Coushatta now.

Welcome to my cabin, folks.

- Hey, Robby.

- Yeah.

You wanna get some shots of
