Dark Amazon Page #9

Synopsis: Dark Amazon is a supernatural thriller shot deep in the Amazon jungle of Brazil. After the discovery of a breakthrough cancer cure, a documentary film crew follows a group of researchers into the heart of the rain forest to capture the entire experience. With the cameras rolling at all times, the former Reality TV crew focuses on the researchers' personal dramas, leaving some feeling very uncomfortable as well as capturing strange unexplained occurrences. When the research samples are mysteriously destroyed, things take a deadly turn and they're left stranded, scared, and fighting for their lives, facing both physical and potentially supernatural forces. To make it back to civilization, they must traverse the dangerous rain forest and resist the mental and emotional anguish of this deadly journey.

[Robby] Well, Im not either, but we

need to finish what we started, okay?

- [Mina] All right.

- [Robby] All right.

Wait a minute.

[Helicopter whirring]

What?

[Robby]

You hear that?

Yeah.

[Robby] I think its

a rescue helicopter.

Oh, sh*t, Im locked in the tripod here.

Im just gonna go handheld.

Im gonna get shots of it landing!

[Andre]

Sorry about that.

Its okay.

[Andre]

Where is Robby?

[Mina]

Hes filming the helicopter.

I think were going home.

[Andre]

And Ben. Ben!

[Mina] Hes resting.

Ill get him soon.

Just pack up!

[Andre]

What is that?

[Mina]

Its Bens laptop.

He said it was stolen.

- [Andre] What?

- [Mina] Oh, my...

[Gunshot]

[Robby]

Where is it?

Damn it.

[Gunshots]

[Robby] What the f*** was that?

Oh, sh*t.

[Ben]

Mina?

- [Mina] Whyd you kill him?

- [Ben] Mina?

Im sorry.

Look, Im, listen to me.

I need you to understand, okay?

I didnt come here to find a cure.

I was sent here to make sure a

cure was never found.

[Mina]

What?

- [Mina] Why?

- [Ben] Just think about it.

Our company manufactures

thousands of cancer drugs.

Things that keep people

alive just long enough or

just in enough pain to keep

them taking more drugs.

If a cure was found, we would

lose so much money wed go bankrupt.

And not to mention all the doctors,

the hospitals, chemo centers.

Cancers big business.

- [Mina] No! Get away from me!

- [Ben] No-no-no-no.

Sh. Sh.

Its gonna be okay.

Its gonna be all right.

Everythings gonna be all right.

[Mina] What about Nikki?

[Ben] I didnt mean for her to

suffer so much.

The bacteria was supposed to

work faster.

It was Rafaels idea to make

you guys think it was the spirit!

[Mina]

Rafael?

He was in on it too?

Then where is he?

I couldnt have any witnesses.

[Robby whispering]

Oh, sh*t.

[Ben]

Im not the bad guy here.

If a cure to cancer was found, thousands

of people would lose

their jobs, millions!

The amount of suffering would

surpass the sick.

Look, this was the only way.

Im not proud of what I did, but...

What are just a few deaths compared to

all the suffering that Im sparing?

Please.

Mina, you have to try and understand.

[Mina]

Stay away from me.

[Ben]

No, you cant leave.

[Mina]

Let me go.

- [Ben] No, you cant leave.

- [Mina] Ben.

[Ben]

No, you cant leave.

[Mina]

Let me go, babe.

[Ben] I cant let you leave here, alone.

- [Mina] Babe.

- [Ben] Do you understand?

Please, try to see it my way.

[Banging noises]

[Ben]

Mina!

[Mina screaming]

[Robby]

Okay, just stay here.

I hear something.

[Mina]

Wheres the helicopter?

[Robby]

Its still not here.

[Mina]

Sh.

[Ben]

Mina!

- [Robby] Thats him.

- [Mina] Yeah.

- [Mina] Run!

- [Robby] Go, go, go, go, go, go.

[Robby]

Oh, sh*t!

- [Mina] Get up, Robby!

- [Robby] Im okay.

[Mina] Ben, no!

[Gunshot]

[Ben] Mina!

This is your last chance!

Either you are with me or you are...

No! [Screaming]

[Animal growling]

[Flesh tearing]

[Mina] Whimpering]

[Roaring]

[Bombastic music]

[Speaking Portuguese] What was set

to be a historical expedition

to document the discovery of a

breakthrough cancer cure

took a very tragic turn.

These bodies, believed to be those

of the research team,

were found in the middle of the jungle.

Several of the other members of

the group are still missing.

The search team also found videos

that belong to the documentary crew

that was accompanying the scientists.

They hope their footage will shed light

to what has happened here.
