Xingu Page #2

We take care of these and do away

with the ones we meet later.

That's just the way it is.

We'll be the poison and the antidote.

Either that, or worst.

It won't hurt at all, you'll see.

It's just a small prick.

Just a prick.

There, that's it.

- A bee sting.

- We're vaccinating you all...

- against the white mans' diseases.

- Pass me the cotton.

Hey, girl!

Let's do you now?

Good, good. Take it easy.

NORTH XINGU RIVER

Repeat, we need more fuel

to continue north.

UPPER XINGU OUTPOST.

- Confirming request for more fuel.

Repeat, more fuel.

Over and out.

When the fuel arrives,

take half and hide it.

For the doctor.

They all need gas.

- Chief.

- My student!

How are you?

This is the chief.

This is Noel.

Noel, Doctor Noel.

- This is Marina.

- Marina.

We felt responsible

for everything that might...

happen to them.

After all, they weren't the ones

who came looking for us.

We were the ones who had

trespassed on their land.

Come, closer.

Put your chest here, like that.

Closer, that's it.

It was only fair that

we protected them...

against everything and everyone.

We have come here

to bring medicine...

12th VILLAGE CONTACTED.

LOWER XINGU:

GOOD PLACE FOR OUTPOS Villa Boa.

Villa Boa.

Come down, come down.

Villa Boa.

Get your gun.

Lower it.

Come, come closer.

Villa Boa?

Claudio Villas Boas.

Prepori, Caiabi.

- Were you looking for me, Prepori?

- I have heard about you.

- Caiabi is traveling alone?

- No.

Come.

Who is he?

- Pionim.

- Pionim?

My woman, Carolina.

My son, Tefu.

Give them some food.

Come closer.

My father's father worked

with the rubber trees.

Worked for the white man.

Caiabi suffer.

Rubber tappers no give food

to Caiabi.

Work, work, for rubber tappers

no give food.

Rubber tappers kill my children.

Kill eight of my children.

Only one left.

This is why I come with my family

looking for you.

Villas Boas.

Because I hear about your name.

Take this. For you.

- For me?

- I have another one.

To protect your boy.

This way.

My brothers.

Leonardo, Orlando.

This is Prepori.

Pionim, Carolina,

Prepori's woman.

They are Caiabi and will be staying

here with us.

Welcome.

Come, feel at home.

Hi.

These are our friends,

Prepori, Pionim. They are Caiabi.

They will be staying here at

the outpost with us now, OK?

Totomai, they are not going

to the village.

They will live here at the outpost.

Totomai, they are our responsibility.

We are responsible.

You can't fight each other,

we have to help each other.

The white man is the enemy.

Smoke.

White mans' gun.

He's Trumai.

The Trumai village

is just up ahead.

Take them to the boat,

to the boat, go!

To the boat!

Prepori!

Calm down, calm down.

That's it.

You alright?

Everything's OK.

Drink, that's it.

- What's her name?

- Kaiulu.

The chief's daughter.

Fences are what work.

Fence in the villages and

don't let the white man in.

Yeah, Rondon is already doing that.

Only, with small reservations.

Adapt Indians to civilization.

That's one way to do it,

but I don't think it works.

No, it doesn't.

The Caiabis...

have been working for the white man

for many generations...

and they're scattered all around.

If we don't get them together,

they'll all be gone, fast.

To civilize them is the fastest

way to finish them off.

What we have to do is

separate a large area.

Almost a whole country.

That's it. A place where

they'll be safe.

- Protected.

- An empire of Xingu tribes.

Our land has forest, animals

and water to drink.

We have rivers full of fish

for our children to eat.

We need a very big

piece of land.

We are the owners of the land.

Caiabi is right.

Our land is where we live.

- Your land.

- Our land.

ISOLATE:

AVOID CONTAC Here.

For you.

BRAZILIAN AIR FORCE

- Prepori!

- Hi.

Go get Claudio.

It's an old dream.

A military base

in the Cachimbo Mountains?

That is not our job at all.

Airstrips are one thing,

Military bases are another.

Two completely different things.

It's a personal favor

you do the president.

Something the Americans have been

on our backs about for years.

The problem with Cachimbo

is access.

That's why your name was brought up,

right, captain?

- A nationwide consensus.

- The governor will help any way he can.

The ranchers too, with planes,

fuel, whatever you need.

Military presence in a region

as abandoned as ours...

is more than welcome.

A military base in the

Cachimbo Mountains would be a disaster.

One of the last untouched

Indian tribes in the region.

The Kreen-akarori.

A military base in the Kreen's land.

- Who? Whose land?

- Kreen-akarori.

The giants of the north.

General, Claudio is right.

Any hasty contact could

finish them off in no time.

You take care of that.

Isn't that what you do?

I propose a trade.

We make the base, clear the trail...

- And?

- In exchange...

you isolate an area...

a large area,

for the Xingu Indians.

A campsite? An outpost?

I don't think the governor

would be opposed.

We could throw in

a couple hectares ourselves.

No, a campsite, no.

An Indian park.

An Indian city, is that it?

A city, no.

A state.

I can talk it over

with the president.

But I can't promise anything.

Land is always pretty touchy business.

Always very disputed.

Great cattle land that, too.

How long will it take

for you to deliver the base?

- General...

- You set the date.

- We have a deal?

- A deal.

It's a deal.

The base in exchange

for the reservation.

This time, Orlando outdid himself.

XINGU INDIANS MAY BE

GRANTED OWNERSHIP OF LAND

Caiabi help build base...

and later we'll make a big Caiabi

village on the reservation.

On the land the

white chiefs are going to give us.

Will white men be able to trespass

and kill Indians...

like they do now?

You have my word.

THE DEFENDERS OF INDIANS

Those outside, can't come in.

But, those inside

can't leave either.

Principally health agents.

- Marina has a fiance in Sao Paulo.

- Fiance? He's out, can't come in.

CACHIMBO MOUNTAINS

Sh*t, Leonard.

F***ing reporter.

VILLAS BOAS GETS INDIAN GIRL PREGNANT.

- Reporters don't do anything...

by themselves.

Just when everybody

has their eyes on us.

- Yeah, like I'm the only one.

- What?

Let's fly over the ridge

and find a plateau.

I like her, Orlando.

I like her.

There's a lot more important

things at stake here.

Like what?

What, Leonardo?

The park, Leonardo. The Indians.

- What's going on?

- What was that?

I don't know.

- We're losing power.

- Keep this thing in the air, Adilson.

- What's that?

- I don't know. The engine.

- Go back if you have to, Adilson.

- Calm down, Adilson.

- Calm down, Adilson.

- Higher, Adilson.

Go up, the mountain!

We're going to hit!

- Keep her going, Adilson!

- We're going down!

Up, go UP!

- I'm going to land.

- Watch it, Adilson.

Sh*t, this thing is going to crash!

Hold on!

I just can't understand it,

we just checked the engine.

Unless somebody tampered with it.
