If the weather gets...

any worse,

we don't get outta here.

And- And that's

no good for nobody.

Seors.

Seors, uh...

my wife.

Su esposa.

Mi esposa.

Red Cross.

- La Cruz Roja.

- Cruz Roja. Where?

Dnde?

Dnde?

Does any-

Does anybody know where?

Which one?

- What are they saying?

- They say they know her.

What's he saying now? He says he

wants to take you to the village.

And he says that, no,

you need permission.

- What is he saying?

What the hell is he saying?

I- I don't know!

Seor!

Seor, you cannot go into the

village! It is forbidden, seor!

Seor! Seor, stop!

Seor, we can return

with government people...

but you must come back

with me now.

I said now, seor!

No, no, no, no jump!

She wants you to go there.

Joe.

- Join her.

- Joe! - Joe!

Joe, can't you hear me?

Joe?

A hundred steps on the ladder

of consciousness. Go there.

No survivors.

Where's her body?

Think she's still alive.

- Emily!

- Joe?

- Listen to me!

You are one crazy son of

a b*tch, you know that?

You are lucky to be alive,

seor. You were not breathing.

It's been over an hour.

Get up.

We will cross the river

downstream.

And with a little bit of luck, we can

get to the airstrip before nightfall.

Vamonos. She lived

through the bus accident.

She made it

to the village.

No, you cannot

go to the village!

Stop! I cannot go back without

you! They'll take away my license!

Stop, seor!

Seor! Seor, stop!

Don't do this!

Seor!

The man said

we must have permission.

I've got permission.

No one's keeping me

out of there.

Please. My wife.

Did you know her?

Mi- Mi esposa.

Did you know her?

Mi esposa.

Doctore.

Doctore. Mi esposa.

Mi esposa.

The waterfall.

She was here.

She say

they knew her alive.

She came to help them...

until the river

brought her back...

dying.

They could not save

her body...

but they save her soul.

She said, "dragonfly. "

I don't know if Emily

ever saw her...

at least while she was

of mind and body.

And I don't know how the

baby survived- premature-

so small and fragile

in the middle of the jungle.

What I do know is that Emily made sure

our child found her way into my arms.

What she taught me in life,

she taught me in death-

to trust, to have faith.

Because as a friend

of mine once said...

"It's belief

that gets us there. "
