Dark Amazon (2014) Movie Script
1
[Insects buzzing]
[Whimpering]
[Creature noise]
[Woman cries out]
[Music]
- [Robby] Don't people say Kleenex...
- [Jay] Isn't that the truth?
[Nikki]
Oh and band-aid?
[Robby]
And band-aid!
[Nikki]
Yeah, like, those are, those are just...
[Jay]
Sanitary bandage?
[Nikki] No, they're just adhesive
bandages or something like that.
[Jay]
Adhesive bandages.
- [Nikki] I totally made that up.
- No it's true, I think.
- [Nikki] But tissues...
- Band-aids are something else.
Sanitary bandages sound...
You getting started right away, huh, bud?
Man who loves his job. Get the
shot no matter what the cost.
[Women talking]
Yeah, you're not in
the way right there at all.
[Robby] Hang on, let me
get out of the way. Sorry.
Smell of the Amazon.
Is that what that is? I thought
it was gasoline. And cigarettes.
Oh my God. That was
a really long flight.
- All right, you ready?
- Time to get to work!
Are you guys hungry?
Should we get some food?
Yes, starving.
[Nikki] Do you think we could,
like relax the rest of the day today?
[Mina] Yeah, I just want to show you
guys around before we get to the jungle.
- [Nikki] Yeah, totally. It's perfect.
- I know.
[Mina]
There's the theater...
[Nikki] They brought
everything from Europe.
I can tell.
That's really beautiful.
[Jay] I'm really impressed that
they have power and...
- ...telephones.
- Oh my God.
- [Mina] What do you mean?
- Well, I wasn't expecting that.
[Nikki]
Wow, look at this.
[Jay] I love this market. Can we stop?
[Traffic noise]
[Indistinct talking]
Yeah, that totally makes your eyes pop.
All right. Sold.
Sold.
He's like, I'm outta here. See?
- See? Terrible right?
- Yeah.
Piranha. 3-D. Sort of.
Is that an ant?
[Nikki] Are we gonna see ants
that are actually that big?
These are way too big.
[Nikki]
Heh, heh, that's scary.
- Did you see this?
- Hate to break it up...
...but we gotta get going if we
wanna get to the boat on time.
Really? Ah, okay.
Come on.
Cracking that whip.
[Road noise]
When we get up I'll get your bag.
Oh!
[Laughs]
[Water lapping]
- We're good?
- Thanks, Jay.
[Nikki]
All right, are you guys ready?
- I guess so.
- Don't be nervous.
[Nikki]
Yeah, look at me. Ignore this.
Well, John green is really
the one responsible...
for this discovery.
He's been living in the Amazon
for the last 15 years.
When I was 12 years old, my
mother passed away of cancer.
And John raised me.
He's been a constant
inspiration to me, and really...
The reason why I went
into the research field.
I'm thrilled to work with the Brazilian
government, being Brazilian myself.
and I'm hoping this research will shed
some light into future funding
and partnership with Brazil.
Do you wanna say something
about the company?
- No, I'm good.
- You sure?
You good? That was great.
Really?
I'm the queen of the world!
Oh, man. You just out-gayed yourself.
This is our amazing producer
hard at work.
[Laughing]
You guys suck.
[John]
Mina!
Mina!
[Nikki] That must be John.
That's so cute.
Mina!
- Oh, wow, is it beautiful.
- Oh, yeah.
Mina! Oh, mina!
Have you lost some weight?
You look great!
I'm fine.
- Guys, this is John!
- Hi!
- That's Nikki.
- Hi.
- I'm Nikki. It's so nice to meet you.
- And that's Jay.
- This is Robby back here.
- Hey, how's it goin'?
- You know Ben.
- And Ben!
Hey, look it's an Amazon stair-master.
- Oh, look at the little kids!
- So cute.
[Speaking Portuguese]
This is the Paje.
He's the shaman of the village.
He's welcoming us and inviting
us to a ritual this evening.
And this is Rafael, the Paje's son and
my right-hand man here in the jungle.
My English not so good.
So, nice to meet you all.
[Greeting in Portuguese]
Hey, John what's this ritual?
Well, the ritual is for anhang,
who is a spirit protector of the forest.
This is Esteves. He's our liaison
with the Brazilian government.
He worked in the Peruvian Amazon and
he's an invaluable member of our team.
[Both speaking Portuguese]
[Mina] Hi. How are you? I'm Brazilian.
- Hi, how are you?
- My name is mina.
Esteves.
Guys be serious for 20 minutes.
- Hey, mina?
- Yeah?
They all seem kinda weird about us.
They're staring. Are you sure it's okay?
Oh, yeah, they just get
a little cautious about outsiders...
Are you sure?
- Yeah, they'll be fine.
- Okay.
[Mina]
And I'm sorry about Ben.
[Nikki]
Yeah! Is everything okay with you two?
He's just very stressed out.
He's, um...
His last clinical trial didn't go
so well. But, don't say anything.
No, of course not. Are you guys okay?
- We're fine. Yes.
- Okay.
Just try to shoot around him.
He's not crazy about it.
Yeah, of course.
- Jay's gonna Mike you.
- Okay.
Just keep it on at all times okay?
Okay, what else? Oh, did you
bring your camera?
- I think so, yeah.
- Okay, cool.
I want you to do some
video diaries at night.
What is that?
Um, like, literally a diary
into the camera.
Just talk about, you know,
like, your feelings
or your thoughts about what's happened.
- Is this a reality...
- No, it's not reality.
No, I think it'll give it a more
intimate feel to the doc, you know.
Okay.
Probably won't even use any of
it, but I figure...
Better to have too much footage
than too little.
- Okay, I will do that.
- Cool, thanks.
Okay, I don't care what anyone
says, do not stop rolling okay?
Unless I say cut, do not stop rolling.
And 3, 2, 1.
[Nikki] Scientists believe that there are
10s of 1000s of undiscovered plants...
Animals and insects in
the Amazon rainforest.
New discoveries are found each year.
From 1999 to 2009 alone, 1200
new species were discovered.
[Robby]
Like the chupacabra?
[Nikki]
Cut! Robby are you serious?
[Robby] What? I was watching
the nature channel...
They had a special about the chupacabra,
it was really fascinating.
[Nikki] Yeah, that's
fascinating, just let me
record this while I have
it in my head. Guys!
[Robby]
Okay, sorry.
[Nikki] I know it's been a long day.
We're almost done.
[Robby]
Rolling.
[Nikki] It's estimated that about 70% of
the most effective cancer treatments...
are derived from enzymes found
exclusively in the Amazon.
And now with the discovery of the enzyme
derived from the kambo frog,
we may finally have a cure.
Can we go back now?
[Nikki]
I think we should do one more take.
- That was great.
- That was golden.
So, ask away. Anything.
Well, we're going to go find
a good spot for the interview.
All righty.
- All right, let's go do that.
- Cool.
Like, one minute, John.
I first became interested
in the power of the
enzyme when I participated
in a ritual...
where the kambo frog skin
enzyme is inserted...
under the peoples skin before
they go hunting.
Well, being a scientist, I'd
study the enzyme.
And what I found out is, it's a
powerful immunity booster...
That they use it for other
diseases and inflammation.
So, I study how the enzyme
reacted with cancer cells.
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.
[Rattle]
[Horn]
[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 fuck 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?
[Esteves speaking native language]
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 fuck 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 fuck 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, shit.
- 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
the jungle before we go in?
Sure.
And there's the jungle.
And more jungle.
I'm not sure why she wants so
much b-roll of the jungle...
Because it's pretty much the
same everywhere you look.
Trees.
[Animal growling]
[Nikki]
You get some good stuff, Robby?
Ah, this looks cozy.
What's with the color scheme?
I like it. I think it's nice.
I wish I could paint my apartment.
Wait, how come you get the bed?
Because I have a vagina, Jay.
Oh, Robby. There's a few outlets
over here on this side...
And a couple more across the room.
Make sure you guys keep those
batteries charged, okay?
Don't worry. We have plenty of extra
charged batteries to last us a lifetime.
My vagina is bigger than hers.
You know that.
You have a vagina?
I heard that, Jay.
- Can I have some more?
- Yes.
[Nikki speaking Portuguese]
Thank you.
[Esteves speaking Portuguese]
Thank you.
You say Obrigada 'cause you're a girl.
- If you're a boy, you say obrigado.
- Obrigado.
- Obrigada.
- Yes.
Can I have some more?
It's really good.
You want more?
We've got a lot of ground to cover.
The frogs migration pattern changed last
year because of the
changing environment.
- Sorry.
- Sorry.
I think we'll start on the east
side of the forest...
Because that's where the frogs
were last year.
It's a starting point.
That's where we'll start our search.
Yeah. I've prepared the bags.
But I'll double check in the morning.
Okay then. I'll see everybody
in the morning.
- All right.
- All right.
You mean all of us?
- Yeah.
- Of course.
No women.
- I'm sorry, what?
- Excuse me?
The women will just hold us
back, you know that, John.
Wait are you serious?
We're all going, so you
better get used to it.
Exactly.
- John?
- Andre?
Everybody on the research team
and the camera crew, they're going.
They got a job to do, so do you.
Fine. Your call. But don't say
I didn't warn you.
- What?
- What, is it the 1800s? Seriously.
- It's too dangerous.
- We'll be fine.
[Mina speaking Portuguese]
I was raised here. Im used to it.
[Esteves speaking Portuguese]
I know, but it is still dangerous!
[Mina speaking Portuguese] Its
dangerous for men, too. Not just women.
John, can we trust him?
Yeah, he's a great guy most of the time.
He's just a little bit of a hermit.
Rude is more like it.
- Who's the workaholic now?
- All right.
Okay. I had to send off a few emails.
I'll be done in just a second.
Oh yeah?
You know what? I didn't think
this thing would work...
All the way out here in the jungle,
but it does. It's amazing.
- Oh, you know why it works?
- Why?
Because it's 100% Brazilian.
Oh yeah? There. All done. Now.
Let's say we add some spice to
these video diaries.
Are you sure? I don't want to
interrupt your work.
- No, you're not interrupting anything.
- No?
- I don't think so.
- Come on.
- Wait a second. Okay.
- Robby, we don't have time for this.
If we don't get this on tape
the others won't believe us.
We have to document it.
Now, repeat what you just told me.
- I heard a noise.
- What did it sound like?
I don't know, it was a weird
kind of noise. But...
Weird like how?
It felt like it was in here and then I
felt like it was something out there.
- Did you hear that?
- Yeah, should we wake the others?
- Come on. Let's go.
- Okay.
- Stay close to me, Robby!
- Well, I'm trying!
- Do you have a flashlight or something?
- Not on me, no.
I'm so afraid.
[Yelling]
[Mina]
What was that?
I felt like somebody touched me.
Like somebody touched me.
What?
I'm sorry. Sorry, guys.
Are you all right?
Yes, yes. Everybody's good.
We heard a noise.
I'm trying to get some sleep here.
We just heard a noise outside.
We heard a noise. Just be quiet.
Let's listen.
You heard a noise?
What kind of noise?
Shhh, let's listen.
- Robby, are you getting this?
- Yeah.
- Jay, get the DAT ready.
- Huh?
Get the DAT ready.
What did it sound like?
[Loud bang]
Oh my God!
Like that.
[Animal noises]
Why is he getting high right now?
What?
What is he doing?
[Rafael speaking Portuguese]
Its to calm the spirits.
He said he's doing this
to calm the spirits.
- Are you ready?
- Yeah.
What?
Let's go check it out.
Wait, wait, you guys don't even
know what is out there yet.
Yeah, but we won't know
unless we take a look.
I'll go with you.
- No! No, please, John, don't.
- John, no! No.
Stay here. Stay here.
You have to trust me.
I know this area like
the back of my hand.
There's nothing I haven't seen yet.
[Esteves speaking Portuguese]
Do you want me to go with you guys?
- No, theres no need.
- Robby, go. -You go out there.
Can you see 'em?
You see anything?
It's probably nothing. Just
go back inside. [Whistling]
What the fuck was that?
See?
There's nothing out there.
[Scream]
What the fuck was that?
Did you see that?
Did you guys see that?
Watch this.
No, it can't be. It's gotta be
some sort of animal.
- What's going on?
- I saw something.
- What was it?
- I don't know yet.
Let's just go inside and we can
rewind the tape and check it out.
Yeah.
Okay, let's go inside.
It was probably just a monkey
or something like that right?
A monkey?
We heard it several times before you
guys did. It wasn't just a monkey.
Whatever it is, it's not there anymore.
Like, it's completely
quiet and still out there.
How can you be sure?
Because I'm looking outside.
Do you have infrared eyes?
Looked like a thousand times.
No, Robby I don't have infrared eyes.
It's really still out there now.
You can say what you
will about the footage,
but everyone saw it with their own eyes.
I know we all saw it. I'm just trying
to figure out what the hell that was.
It was probably just an animal.
It didn't sound like an animal.
John, maybe it was that river
phantom you were talking about.
- Anchorage or whatever?
- Anhang?
The forest spirits are only dangerous
to those who do harm. We're not.
Okay. Thanks Obi-Wan.
John, do you really believe that?
Yeah, I do, Ben. I mean,
I'm a scientist...
But there's a lot of things I don't
understand that I believe in.
- What?
- Yeah, I agree.
There's no such thing.
It's probably just a wild animal
like Andre said.
In fact, I bet you sacred him
off with all your screaming.
Can we please just go to bed?
It's really late.
I'm not going to bed, man, with that
thing crawling around out there.
Well, I don't know what it was, but...
Maybe we should just go to sleep.
I mean, we can look around
tomorrow and see if we find something.
It's best.
- Let's just go to bed.
- Okay, that's it.
I'll go to bed but I'm
not going to sleep.
Good night.
You wanna take a break, John?
- No, I said. I'm okay. Just keep on.
- Well, I need a break soon.
- You guys okay?
- Yeah.
He's not looking too good.
What the fuck was that?
Jay. Jay!
Robby, come on!
Okay, okay, I'm coming.
So, which area are we
searching tomorrow?
Oh. Tomorrow we're gonna travel
by canoe. Excuse me.
And head further down this river here.
This is where the frogs usually mate.
You remember, Rafael?
[Rafael speaking Portuguese]
Its been a long
time since Ive been in
that part of the jungle.
My memory not so good.
Oh, but don't worry about that.
I have a pretty good memory of it.
Between the two of us, we'll be fine.
[Esteves speaking Portuguese] I also
know the area. I can help as well.
Well, that's great then.
I mean, it's all settled.
So, everybody, just...
Plan on getting up early tomorrow,
we'll leave at dawn.
Oh, and bring us two sets of clothing,
sleeping bags.
I'll make sure we have tents.
We might have to spend the night, okay?
Okay.
I'm gonna take care of some logistics,
here.
All right. I don't know about
you guys, but I need a shower.
Nikki, if you need a hand with
that shower, I got you covered.
I'm okay, Robby, thanks.
'Cause there's some places that
are hard to reach.
[Andre speaking Portuguese]
Because we are one, two...
We are eight total...
Even though today's search did
not bear results...
I'm hopeful we're on the right track,
and that we'll find a sample soon.
[Animal noises]
What are you doing?
I heard a noise.
Under the bed?
Come on.
Turn that thing off.
This place is starting to get to you.
Are you okay, mina?
[Mina] I almost drowned as a kid.
I never learned how to swim.
- Oh, shit, what was that?
- What was that?
There are some rocks or
sand banks or anacondas.
Anaconda?
Great. That makes
me feel a lot better.
Oh, anaconda, Andre?
- We're fine in the boat.
- Yeah, right, until they crawl in.
[Mina]
Yeah, and they have piranhas here, too.
Shit. She can't swim. Mina!
Get in there, get her!
She can't swim, you guys!
You okay? You need any help?
Is she okay?
She looks okay.
- You all right?
- Just don't panic, mina.
- Robby, do something! Is she okay?
- What the fuck happened?
What do you want me to do?
I got the camera.
You're almost in.
Gotcha. Okay.
- She's all right, you guys.
- Yeah.
[Jay] What are you doing?
[Robby] I was hoping
that his playing would
attract the spirit so
I can get it on tape.
[Jay] Sure. Maybe Bigfoot will
come, too, with the Easter bunny.
[Robby] Thats ridiculous.
Ones a mythical
creature. The other one is not real.
[Jay] You analyze everything.
[Robby] Trying to make sense of
the chaos around me.
[Jay] But nobody makes sense of
anything that you say.
[Robby] Wait, wait, wait.
[Playing harmonica ]
[Speaking Portuguese]
Thats very good.
Who is it from?
Its mine.
Really?
Impressive.
Why? Do you think I cant
write something like that?
Its not that. Its uh...
You dont strike me
as the sensitive type.
Appearances can be deceiving.
You did good out there today.
I mean, for a woman, you did good.
Not sure if thats an
insult or a compliment,
but thanks anyway.
Youre welcome.
Im going to bed.
- Good night.
- Good night.
[Leopard roars]
[Robby]
Is that what I think it is?
Frog droppings.
[Robby laughs]
Oh, gross.
[Esteves] Yes.
[Robby] He just rubbed shit
between his fingers.
Robby! Hes just doing his job.
[Robby] Yeah, well, its a
shitty job if it involves poop.
[Robby] I cant tell whats a
monkey and whats a bird.
[Nikki] Yeah, is that a bird?
What is that?
[Robby] Monkey-bird.
Its like a pterodactyl.
[Nikki] It totally sounds like
a pterodactyl. [Squawking]
- [Robby] Mina.
- What? Yeah?
[Robby] So, did anything
strange happen last night?
No.
Lets get moving, all right?
[John] Break up into small groups.
Were gonna have to expand our search.
Remember, were looking for
signs of the frog.
Well find them at night.
Lets go.
- [Robby] Frog shit huntin in the...
- Robby! Sh!
[Robby whispering]
Were looking for frog shit.
[Nikki] Robby, my feet are
fucking killing me.
[Robby] Its not like we can
scare it away.
[Whispering]
My feet are killing me!
[Robby] I dont understand why people...
[Nikki] Shit!
[Screams and laughter]
[Mina] Oh my God!
- [Nikki] Oh my God!
- [Mina] Are you all right?
[Nikki yelling]
- [Jay] You are totally covered in frog shit.
- [Mina] Are you all right, baby?
Robby, turn that fucking off or
Im gonna kill you!
[Jay] Anybody wanna mud wrestle?
Fuck!
Robby, turn that off!
[Mina] Well, we know its good for skin.
[Nikki] Wow.
Robby, if youre still rolling right
now, Im gonna fucking kill you.
[Robby] Its totally off right now.
[Nikki] Oh, it is so dark out here.
[Robby] I know, I can barely
see the camera.
- I know. Its really freakin creepy.
- [Robby] Its crazy dark.
[Robby] This reminds me when I
went caving once.
[Nikki] Okay, Robby, just stop.
[Robby] See a lot of bats
spelunking. Yeah.
- [Nikki] Sh. Robby, just be...
- [Robby] Try to...
- [Nikki] Did you hear that noise?
- [Robby] Yeah.
[Robby] I dont know.
I dont know what...
[Nikki] What the fuck was that?
Did you hear that?
[Robby] I heard it.
[Robby] Is that somebody
walking behind us or is that...?
[Nikki] What the fuck was that noise?
[Robby] I dont know.
I dont know.
[Robby] Yeah, over here.
[Animal growls]
[Nikki] What the hell?
- [Robby] Sh. I dont know.
- [Nikki] Oh my God.
[Robby] I dont know.
[Nikki]
What the hell was that noise?
[Robby] I dont know.
Hey, over here.
[John] We cant use the net
because the frog will burrow under.
Hes gonna use his hands.
You okay?
[Esteves] Yeah.
[John] One, two. Now!
[Nikki] Oh my God!
Oh my God!
[Robby] Wow. You guys, I
never... I mean, seriously.
[Nikki] I cant believe we just did it!
[John] Okay, a little transfer here.
[Robby] I said Id believe it
when I saw it, but I still dont, man.
- [Robby] I still dont.
- [Nikki] Oh my God.
[John] Keep it closed.
[Men laughing]
[Nikki] Are you ready?
Yeah.
[Nikki] I know that
this is a very personal
quest for you because of your mother.
How are you feeling now that
you finally found it?
Whenever I think of my mom, I
think of someone really brave.
She never gave up on anything.
She... and she fought until her
last breath.
I think thats why I...
Was never a choice for me to give up.
Cancer has taken too many lives
for too long.
We waited long enough for this cure.
[Nikki] I think thats good.
- Yeah? [Nikki] Yeah, I think we got it.
- That was great, mina.
[Andre] Do you, do you really
believe that?
[Mina] Im sorry?
Do you really think that
society is ready for a cure?
I, I dont understand what
youre trying to say.
Okay, just think about it.
We have cured so many diseases
before, like, polio.
But for some reason, we have not been
able to find any more cures in decades.
And new diseases are born every day.
Like aids, Ebola.
Why do you think it is?
I dont know, what do you
think? Its a conspiracy...
No, I think its great
youre trying to save
the world, but dont
forget its a business!
Just business.
And I just dont want you to be
disappointed when you realize that...
The people that really need it
wont get it.
Or wont be able to afford it.
And thats a reality.
You know what, you seem to have
really great insights about society
yet you, you choose to hide in
the middle of the jungle, right?
From everything and everyone.
Well, let me tell you something.
Im not gonna be disappointed.
Because at least I know
Im doing something
about it instead of hiding from it.
[Nikki] Mina.
Wait, stop, dont go too far.
Mina.
[Mina] Im sick of people like that!
[Rafael speaking in Portuguese]
Babe, are you sure you can
translate that?
[Ben] There was a group just like us.
- [Nikki] Of course.
- [Mina] In a place just like this.
[Ben] In a place just like this
and theyre camping and then...
- They went all to bed...
- [Mina] And there was a blonde.
[Nikki] Did he really say that?
[All laughing]
[Jay] Please. No.
[Ben] Everybody went to sleep
at night, right?
And they all got up in the morning,
were having their coffee
and they noticed that one of
their, their group was missing.
[Nikki] Okay.
[Ben] So, they go into his tent
and they say,
hey, um, whats, whats going on?
he didnt, he didnt say anything.
- All he could do was just, you know...
- [Mina] Show.
[Ben] ...Show that there was a,
theres something in his sleeping bag.
Well, so they waited
until the sun came up,
I guess the other members
of the group understood.
- [Mina] Yeah.
- [Ben] It got so hot.
Cobra slithers out of the sleeping bag.
[Mina] And he had to be still
for the cobra to come out.
[Nikki] Oh my God.
[Esteves] You think about this?
[Nikki] I think I would actually have
a heart attack if that happened.
Oh my God.
Its really a nice story
to tell us when were
about to go sleep in some sleeping bags
in the middle of the Amazon.
- [Robby] I did mushrooms once.
- [Nikki] Oh my God.
[Robby] No, I was convinced I
was a frog.
I was, uh, I was at burning man.
[Ben] We need to finish this
food cause we, we just...
We dont need to take it back
since were heading back tomorrow.
[Nikki]
Whoo! Ill have some more.
[Ben] You want some?
[Robby] Im good, man.
Im stuffed.
[Nikki] Only because Im taking
one for the team.
[All laughing]
I really am.
Im thinking about all of you.
[John] You know, there are some things
in this world that were meant to be
and I think finding a cure was
one of those, you know.
Making history.
- [Robby] Making history.
- [Nikki] To making history.
Cheers, guys.
Cheers, Robby.
[Robby]
Cheers.
Another part of history was,
um, was Nikkis graceful fall.
[Nikki] Okay.
Stop it!
[Mina] What happened to Jay?
[Nikki] Jay went to his tent, I think.
[Robby] Hes drunk listening to
music in there.
[Nikki]
Is that what that noise is?
[All laughing] [Nikki] What kind
of music is he listening to?
[Mina] The worst Brazilian kind.
[Nikki] He drinks half a bottle
of cachaa...
And hes all of a sudden Brazilian.
[John] Do not, do not attack
the cachaa.
[Nikki] Oh!
[John] This fine bottle.
[Nikki] You know youve had too much
when you can no longer pronounce it.
[Robby] Hello, beautiful.
[Nikki] What is that noise?
[Robby] Its raining.
Its the rainforest.
Give it five minutes, itll be done.
[Nikki] Its so loud.
- [Robby] Ooh.
- [Nikki] Oh, Jesus Christ!
- [Robby] Wake up!
- [Nikki] Stop with the camera!
[Robby]
I cant. Its in my blood.
Did your mom drop you as a kid?
Seriously.
My stomach hurts.
Get the camera out of my face.
[Robby] Looks like were not
the only ones who overslept.
[Ben] Yeah, man, I wasnt gonna
get up in all that rain.
[Robby]
Hey, Nikki, howre you feeling?
Like shit.
[Andre] We need to leave soon.
We should pack up our tents now.
[John]
Anybody here seen esteves?
[Mina]
What about him?
[John]
Cant find him anywhere.
[Ben] Well, I mean, just think.
Did anyone see him?
[Robby]
Nikki says he was with Jay.
With Jay where?
[Robby]
No, I mean, with him.
Oh. That actually makes a lot
of sense.
[Nikki]
Where the hell were you?
I slept by the fire last night.
[Robby] Is that what youre
calling it these days?
[Mina]
Wheres Stevie?
[Jay] He went back to his tent
in the middle of the night.
What, he didnt come back?
[Andre] Serious, guys,
we have to go if were
gonna make it back to
the cabin before dark.
[Mina] Andre, were not leaving
without him.
[Jay] Im not going anywhere
without Steve.
[Ben] Guys, I, I hate to admit
it, but Andres right.
If we wait any longer, were
gonna be traveling at night.
Thats not safe at all.
[Andre]
Lets do this.
I will take you guys
back to the cabin and
then I come back and look for him, okay?
[John] Lets pack your things.
Lets load em into the canoe.
Hell catch up with us by then.
Rafael. Andre.
[Ben]
Hey, Spielberg.
You wanna turn the camera off
and help everybody out?
[Robby]
Yeah, okay, slick.
[Robby]
You look beautiful.
[John]
I dont know.
Radioed em last night.
They said theyd be here.
[Speaking Portuguese]
We can try to find another way.
There is no other way out of here.
[Nikki]
Then lets radio them again.
[John]
Cant find the radio.
Thought maybe you or Ben had taken it.
No, I didnt.
[Ben]
I think weve been robbed.
- [Mina] What?!
- [Robby] What do you mean?
[Ben] I cant find my laptop anywhere.
[Robby]
Oh, that sucks, man.
[Mina]
Oh, no.
[John] Look, Ive known Jaime and Luan
since they were little kids.
They did not rob us.
[Ben]
So, where are they?
I dont know.
[Mina]
Oh gosh.
I need to go pee.
[Ben]
Still no service, either.
[Robby] Neither is Nikkis.
- Thanks, hon.
- There you go.
[Nikki] Robby, stop it.
[Robby]
Just making sure youre safe.
[Nikki]
Jeez.
[Jay]
Go further.
[Nikki]
Yes, I am going further.
- [Jay] Robby?
- [Robby] What?
Im not doing anything.
- [Nikki] Oh my God!
- [Robby] What, Nikki? What? What?!?!
What is it?
What is it?!
- [Nikki] Oh my God!
- [Robby] What the hell is it?!
[Andre]
Stay away! Stay away!
[Robby] What is that?
Oh my God.
[Andre] John, John, please, please.
[Robby] Oh, fuck.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Oh, fuck.
What is that?
Oh, fuck.
Its the canoe guys foot.
[Nikki sobbing]
[Robby]
Im so sorry, dude.
[Mina] Who could have done
this? And why?
[Ben]
The Indians?
You saw how they looked at us
when we arrived.
[John] Ive been living with them
for 15 years. They didnt do it.
[Ben] Then who did, John?
Whod decapitate somebody?
- Not them.
- Theyre peaceful people.
[Rafael]
It wasnt people.
Whoa-whoa-whoa. No, no.
[Mina] Wait, what do you mean
it wasnt people?
[Andre]
Animal.
[Robby] You mean, it was that,
uh, river spirit?
Uh, anhang whatever?
[Ben]
Youve gotta be kidding me.
Will you show some respect and
turn that thing off?
[Robby] Come on, man. We gotta
document this for the authorities.
Turn it off.
[Robby] Im not turning it off. Youre
gonna have to make me turn it off.
[John] Hey, hey, hey, hey,
enough. Enough.
Why dont we just stop fighting.
Figure out a way to get out of
here and back to the cabin.
[Nikki]
Robby, just...
Just cut it.
[Ben] Just seemed like a good
spot to stop.
[Robby]
Do you believe this guy?
[Mina] You know what?
Maybe we dont need a boat.
I mean, Andre knows this area
pretty well, right?
I mean, were bound to find,
like, a village or someone or something.
[Andre]
Yeah.
- [Ben] I dont think thats a good idea.
- [Mina] Babe, we have no other choice.
[John] We dont have a lot of
choices, Ben.
[Ben]
Theres gotta be another way.
- Were gonna try.
- Well go up river...
And get cell reception and call
for help.
Rafael, up river, any way?
No.
[Andre] Well, we can try the old bridge.
You have to head three Miles east.
It should take us there.
Beyond that, we need to head, uh,
southeast for a day and a half,
maybe two.
[John]
Okay.
This way, well be closer to a village.
[Ben]
Are you sure?
Cause we cant go off on some hunch.
Its our only way out of here, man.
Andres right.
Its our only option, Ben.
[Mina] Babe, I know its dangerous,
but weve gotta get outta here.
Im tired.
I just wanna go home.
[John] Rafael, Andre, go look
for a campsite.
Come on, Jay. Come on.
Give me help with this girl.
Come on, Nikki.
Nikki, lets go.
- [Nikki] Okay.
- [Mina] Lets go.
- [John] Give her a hand here.
- [Nikki] Thanks.
[Mina] Hey, Nikki, how are you
holding up?
- [Mina] Robby!
- [Robby] Yeah?
[Mina]
Whats going on with Nikki?
[Robby] I dont know.
Shes been like that for the past hour.
Maybe shes still hung-over.
[Mina] Hi, honey.
Lets take a break or something?
Nikki, youre scaring me.
Nikki.
[Robby]
You okay, Nikki?
- Look at me.
- Nikki! Nikki!
- [John] Whats going on?
- [Mina] I dont know!
[Robby] Whats going on, Nikki?
Whats wrong? [Mina] Nikki!
[Mina] Whats going on?
What?!
[Robby] Guys, whats going on?
Whats wrong with her?
Whats wrong with her?
[Nikki] Get em off me.
Theyre crawling all over me!
[Robby]
Somebody fucking do something!
[Yelling over each other]
[Robby]
Dont hurt her! Dont hurt her!
[John]
Hold the arms!
[Nikki] Get em off me!
Get em off me!
[Yelling over each other]
[Robby] What is that?
What are you doing?
[Ben]
Its a tranquilizer!
[Robby] Is she gonna be okay?
Nikki?
[Robby] Talk to me, Nikki.
Say something.
Juc.
[Mina] Whatd she say?
Whatd she say?
[John]
Juc.
[Mina]
I heard that before.
[John]
It means death.
[Mina] What?
[Robby]
Why are her eyes still open?
You still think its not the spirit?
Yeah, thanks for helping out, buddy.
[John] All right, were gonna camp
around here. Shes not moving.
[Mina] Okay. Let me help her.
[John] Well get her cold water
compress.
[Robby] She gonna be okay? [Mina]
Get some water. Ill clean her up.
[Robby] Oh, man.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
I want to put this on record in
case something happens to us.
Nikkis really sick.
I dont know what to do.
She has a, a fever that wont
go down and she cant,
she cant even drink anything.
Robby thinks its the spirit, anhang.
I dont know.
I dont know what to think anymore.
I feel something is watching us.
I feel like...
I dont know.
Maybe Im losing my mind.
Were walking to this bridge tomorrow.
I just hope we make it.
[Robby] Nikki, rise and shine.
Time to get up. Got work to do.
Come on. Get up.
Nikki?
Nikki.
Nikki.
Oh my God!
Help!
Somebody help!
Over here quick!
I dont know.
Its so fucked up.
- [Jay] What?
- [Robby] I dont know. I dont know.
- [Jay] Oh my God!
- [Robby] I dont know whats going on.
[Jay] Oh my God, Nikki!
Oh, shit!
[Ben]
Mina, hes right.
We cant just leave her here, Ben.
I just cant do that.
[Jay]
It is not even an option.
[Robby] Theres no way we can
just leave her.
[Andre]
Im really sorry for her loss.
But we cannot take her.
[Robby]
Thats bullshit, man.
[John] No, Im sorry,
but Andre is right.
[Rafael praying in Portuguese]
[Mina]
You wanna say something, Robby?
[Robby]
So, Im good.
I'm just gonna get some, uh, shots of
b-roll so we know where to come back to.
So...
We have to go now, Nikki.
Uh...
But...
I promise...
No matter what happens...
I will come back for you.
Im so sorry.
Im so sorry about what happened to you.
Im so sorry.
[Andre] Can you put the light
here, please? [Robby] Yeah. Okay.
[Ben] Im just saying this is,
it looks like a river valley.
Would you like to do this?
No, I dont wanna do it. I-i-i just
know how to... [john] Ben, Ben. Ben...
Let him just find the coordinates.
- [Andre] The light.
- [Ben] You all right, John?
Ive felt better. Im okay.
- [Andre] Light!
- [Robby] Yeah, yeah, okay.
[John]
So, where are we, Andre?
[Andre]
Oh.
Okay, according to my compass, we are
still heading the right direction.
[Ben]
You sure?
About the bridge, are you sure?
I believe so.
[Ben scoffs] Well, were
putting our faith in you.
Im just saying youve gotta be
sure about something. Anything.
[Andre] Hey man, Im
doing my best to get
us out of here. [John]

[Mina] Its that thing again.
[Rafael]
Outside.
[Speaking Portuguese] It came
after me and I ran here.
[Ben] Okay, mina heard something, too.
[Robby] If we keep quiet, maybe
itll just go away.
- [Jay] Well, what if it doesnt?
- [Robby] I dont know!
[Ben]
Stay here. Mina needs you.
All right. Uh, Andre, no,

John doesnt look so good, okay?
And whatever you do,
dont leave them alone. All right?
Okay.
[Ben]
Rafael, lets go.
[Andre] Wait, wait, wait.

[Mina] Ben, you cant go!
- You dont even know what it is!
- Its okay. Its okay.
Rafael, come on. [Mina] Take my camera,
here. You can see in the dark.
Be careful, please. Be careful!
[Ben]
No, Jay, just stay here!
[Robby]
What are you doing, man? Its crazy!
[Mina speaking Portuguese]
Close it. Close it.
Oh my God! Oh my God!
[Ben] All right.
Were circling the other tents.
Other tents are all clear!
Were gonna take a look around.
Wait...
I, I think I hear something!

[Rafael screams]
[Robby]
Jesus Christ!
[Jay]

[Robby] Whoa, whoa, whoa,

Jay, Jay, Jay! Jay, come back!
You okay?
[Andre] Oh, fuck, John!
[Mina] John!
Go, go get somebody. Go!
[John]
Go!
[Robby]
Im going out there, too.
- [Mina] Oh my God!
- [John] Use your light.
[Robby]
Jay. Jay!
I think he went back to the tent.
I would.
You sure its safe to be out here?
Maybe that things still running around.
Keep your eyes open,
and if you see it, run.
[Robby]
Okay. Right. Run.
- Im glad youre in charge.
- [Andre] Sh.
[Robby]
Never thought of that.
Is that...?
[Andre]
Oh, stop moving the light.
[Robby]
Weird-ass nest.
[Andre] Just keep that fucking
light in front of us.
[Robby] All right. I just keep
thinking Im seeing something.
- [Andre] Oh, wait.
- [Robby] What, what is it? What?
- What is that?
- [Andre] Holy fuck.
[Robby]
What is that?
Its the other camera.
Hey, what is that?
[Andre] Oh my God.
Its Rafaels sandal.
[Robby] Okay, we gotta go.
Wait, no, grab the other camera.
[Mina]
Where the hell is Ben?
Wheres Ben?!
Why's blood on my camera?
Whose blood is that?
[Robby]
Im so sorry, mina.
[Speaking Portuguese]
Andre, wheres Ben?
Andre, wheres Ben?
- [Andre] Sorry.
- [Mina] No! No!
[Sobbing]
[John]
Sh. Sh.
[John]
Andre.
You find the machete?
[Andre]
Yeah, its here.
Okay, everybody. Lets all go.
- Okay, Robby. Come on.
- [Robby] Yeah.
[John]
Mina.
Weve gotta go find Jay.
[Robby]
We have to, mina.
We dont know what happened to him.
[John]
Were gonna find him.
[Andre] Come on, guys.
We dont have time.
[Mina]
Its better now.
I dont hear it anymore.
[Andre] I think it came from over there.
[John]
Oh, no.
I, I heard something over, over there.
[Robby] Guys, we cant just stand
around like this. We gotta go, quick!
[Mina]
Well, we have to stay together.
[Robby] Well, then you guys follow me
because Im not waiting around anymore.
[John]
Listen. You all stay together.
Ill go over where I thought I
heard something.
[Mina] No! John, youre not
going anywhere by yourself.
Okay. Andre, Robby, you guys go
check out that way.
And John and I go the other side.
Okay.
Careful.
[Mina]
Are you all right?
[John] After your mother died,
I was so afraid of leaving you alone.
Now look how youve grown.
Im not afraid anymore.
[Popping sound]
[Mina] John.
[John]
There is something. Hey.
[Mina]
Wait. Wait, wait.
[John]
Mina? Mina.
[Mina]
Wait. Wait. John!
[John]
Mina, where are you? Mina?
[Mina yells]
[John] Mina?
[John screams]
[Robby] I cant wait to get the
hell out of here and go home.
I dont know how anybody lives
down here.
Its like living in a big, green tank.
I guess if I was from here itd
be different, you know?
Except for the river monster
killing everyone part.
That part would still suck.
[Andre] Okay, do you ever shut up?
[Robby]
Not really.
When I get nervous,
its how I sort of process.
[Andre]
Stop!
[Robby] You dont have to get
angry, man. Ill stop talking.
Sh. I mean, dont move.
[Robby whispering] Why?
What do you hear?
[Andre]
I think I heard something.
[Robby]
Fuck.
Okay, lets try this way.
[Robby] I wish Id gotten, like, a
better flashlight, like a headlamp.
I had one on my bed. I didnt check the
batteries. [Andre] Okay, stop. Stop.
- [Robby] Im not moving.
- [Andre] Stop talking, please.
[Robby] You need to be more clear
about your stops, Andre.
[Andre] Oh, fuck. Okay, okay,
stay back, stay back.
Okay, please, no, no.
[Robby] Oh my God. Oh my God.
- [Andre] Okay, we have to find mina.
- [Robby] Thats Jay.
Oh, who would do that?
What would fucking
do that to us? [Andre] Come on, Robby!
Come on, we have to go now!
Come on!
[Mina] John!
John!
John!
Dad! No!
[Robby]
Mina! Mina! Oh, fuck, no!
[Andre]
Oh my God!
[Robby] Oh, fuck. Fuck, no!
We gotta go!
We gotta get outta here!
[Andre] Okay, okay, lets
go, lets go. Lets
go! Lets go! [Robby]
Were fucking dead!
- [Andre] We have to go. Mina!
- [Robby] Hes dead, too!
[Andre] Mina. Come. No! Look at me!
Look at me! We have to go now!
[Robby] If we all go,
weve gotta go now!
[Mina sobbing] I dont
wanna leave him alone!
I dont wanna leave him alone!
- [Mina] No!
- [Robby] We have to go now!
- [Robby] I cant leave him alone!
- [Andre] Mina, please, we have to go.
[Robby] Fuck! Oh, fuck!
[Robby]
You wanna take a break?
I do.
How far is the bridge, man?
Jesus.
[Mina]
Robby, will you turn it off?
[Robby]
Oh, Jesus Christ.
[Robby]
Bridge?!
I think thats a little bit of
an overstatement.
We cant cross that!
Yeah, we have no other choice.
Whos going first?
[Robby]
I guess Ill go first.
Were all gonna have to do it anyway.
Okay.
[Mina]
What about the camera?
[Robby] Ill put it in my backpack.
Its waterproof.
Then toss it over once I get
across, along with yours.
[Mina]
Do you have a rope?
[Robby] I dont have a rope!
Im not MacGyver!
[Mina] You gonna do the best for camera.
Lets go, come on!
Just stay calm. Dont panic.
[Robby] Oh, shit, dont let go of her!
Get her! Get her!
Hang on!
[Andre] You can do it!
You can do it on your own!
[Robby] Dont let go of her!
Dont let go of her!
There you go!
Get a good grip!
There you go!
[Robby] Keep going!
There you go!
You're almost there!
[Robby]
There you go.
[Andre] Okay, now we can rest
for a bit, right?
But then we have to keep going.
Youre okay?
[Mina]
Yeah.
- [Andre] Okay.
- [Robby] Anybody bring a beer?
[Whistling]
[Mina] Did you hear that whistle?
Its like hes following us.
[Animal growling]
- [Andre] We have to go over here.
- [Mina] Put the camera down.
[Robby]
What?
- [Robby] What?
- [Mina] Nothing.
[Andre] Lets camp here.
[Robby] You guys.
Can we just rest for a second?
Okay, I just, I just need a second.
Man, its gonna get dark.
[Robby] Yeah, I know.
I just...
This is really taking a lot out
of me and I just...
Do you guys even know where were going?
[Mina] You know what?
Why dont you put the camera down?
I mean, we dont need to be
filming right now and its just...
[Robby] I think, I think its important
that we keep shooting, though.
[Mina speaks Portuguese to Andre]
[Robby] Hey, what is it?
What is it?
Oh, shit!
Oh my God, its Ben!
[Andre]
Side, side!
- [Robby] Is he alive?
- [Mina sobbing] Ben!
[Robby]
Is he okay?
[Andre]
I dont know.
[Robby]
Does he have a pulse, man?
[Andre] Yeah. I think hes
alive. I think hes alive.
[Mina]
Baby, can you hear me?
[Robby] No, Im not a medic, man.
We shouldnt move him.
We dont know whats broken.
[Andre] Put that fucking camera
away and help me!
[Robby]
All right.
- [Robby] I think I see a cabin.
- [Andre] Where?
[Robby]
Straight ahead.
- [Robby] Right up there.
- [Andre] Where?
[Robby] I see one right, right
in front of us. Lets go.
[Mina speaking Portuguese]
[Robby] Why are you applauding
the building?
[Andre]
Oh, thats what we do here.
[Robby]
Okay, should I clap too?
[Andre]
No, please, just shut up.
- [Robby] All right.
- [Andre] Hello!
[Both speaking Portuguese]
[Mina]
Looks empty.
[Robby] Yeah, there could be booby traps
or a bamboo pit or something. No.
[Andre] Maybe we can...
Whoa-whoa-whoa, wait, wait!
[Both speaking Portuguese]
- [Mina] Bring Ben.
- [Robby] Okay.
- [Robby] Andre!
- [Andre] Oh, I found a radio!
[Robby]
Come on, lets just do this.
Im really not in the mood right now.
[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, shit, 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 fuck was that?
Oh, shit.
[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, shit.
[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, shit!
- [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.
[Insects buzzing]
[Whimpering]
[Creature noise]
[Woman cries out]
[Music]
- [Robby] Don't people say Kleenex...
- [Jay] Isn't that the truth?
[Nikki]
Oh and band-aid?
[Robby]
And band-aid!
[Nikki]
Yeah, like, those are, those are just...
[Jay]
Sanitary bandage?
[Nikki] No, they're just adhesive
bandages or something like that.
[Jay]
Adhesive bandages.
- [Nikki] I totally made that up.
- No it's true, I think.
- [Nikki] But tissues...
- Band-aids are something else.
Sanitary bandages sound...
You getting started right away, huh, bud?
Man who loves his job. Get the
shot no matter what the cost.
[Women talking]
Yeah, you're not in
the way right there at all.
[Robby] Hang on, let me
get out of the way. Sorry.
Smell of the Amazon.
Is that what that is? I thought
it was gasoline. And cigarettes.
Oh my God. That was
a really long flight.
- All right, you ready?
- Time to get to work!
Are you guys hungry?
Should we get some food?
Yes, starving.
[Nikki] Do you think we could,
like relax the rest of the day today?
[Mina] Yeah, I just want to show you
guys around before we get to the jungle.
- [Nikki] Yeah, totally. It's perfect.
- I know.
[Mina]
There's the theater...
[Nikki] They brought
everything from Europe.
I can tell.
That's really beautiful.
[Jay] I'm really impressed that
they have power and...
- ...telephones.
- Oh my God.
- [Mina] What do you mean?
- Well, I wasn't expecting that.
[Nikki]
Wow, look at this.
[Jay] I love this market. Can we stop?
[Traffic noise]
[Indistinct talking]
Yeah, that totally makes your eyes pop.
All right. Sold.
Sold.
He's like, I'm outta here. See?
- See? Terrible right?
- Yeah.
Piranha. 3-D. Sort of.
Is that an ant?
[Nikki] Are we gonna see ants
that are actually that big?
These are way too big.
[Nikki]
Heh, heh, that's scary.
- Did you see this?
- Hate to break it up...
...but we gotta get going if we
wanna get to the boat on time.
Really? Ah, okay.
Come on.
Cracking that whip.
[Road noise]
When we get up I'll get your bag.
Oh!
[Laughs]
[Water lapping]
- We're good?
- Thanks, Jay.
[Nikki]
All right, are you guys ready?
- I guess so.
- Don't be nervous.
[Nikki]
Yeah, look at me. Ignore this.
Well, John green is really
the one responsible...
for this discovery.
He's been living in the Amazon
for the last 15 years.
When I was 12 years old, my
mother passed away of cancer.
And John raised me.
He's been a constant
inspiration to me, and really...
The reason why I went
into the research field.
I'm thrilled to work with the Brazilian
government, being Brazilian myself.
and I'm hoping this research will shed
some light into future funding
and partnership with Brazil.
Do you wanna say something
about the company?
- No, I'm good.
- You sure?
You good? That was great.
Really?
I'm the queen of the world!
Oh, man. You just out-gayed yourself.
This is our amazing producer
hard at work.
[Laughing]
You guys suck.
[John]
Mina!
Mina!
[Nikki] That must be John.
That's so cute.
Mina!
- Oh, wow, is it beautiful.
- Oh, yeah.
Mina! Oh, mina!
Have you lost some weight?
You look great!
I'm fine.
- Guys, this is John!
- Hi!
- That's Nikki.
- Hi.
- I'm Nikki. It's so nice to meet you.
- And that's Jay.
- This is Robby back here.
- Hey, how's it goin'?
- You know Ben.
- And Ben!
Hey, look it's an Amazon stair-master.
- Oh, look at the little kids!
- So cute.
[Speaking Portuguese]
This is the Paje.
He's the shaman of the village.
He's welcoming us and inviting
us to a ritual this evening.
And this is Rafael, the Paje's son and
my right-hand man here in the jungle.
My English not so good.
So, nice to meet you all.
[Greeting in Portuguese]
Hey, John what's this ritual?
Well, the ritual is for anhang,
who is a spirit protector of the forest.
This is Esteves. He's our liaison
with the Brazilian government.
He worked in the Peruvian Amazon and
he's an invaluable member of our team.
[Both speaking Portuguese]
[Mina] Hi. How are you? I'm Brazilian.
- Hi, how are you?
- My name is mina.
Esteves.
Guys be serious for 20 minutes.
- Hey, mina?
- Yeah?
They all seem kinda weird about us.
They're staring. Are you sure it's okay?
Oh, yeah, they just get
a little cautious about outsiders...
Are you sure?
- Yeah, they'll be fine.
- Okay.
[Mina]
And I'm sorry about Ben.
[Nikki]
Yeah! Is everything okay with you two?
He's just very stressed out.
He's, um...
His last clinical trial didn't go
so well. But, don't say anything.
No, of course not. Are you guys okay?
- We're fine. Yes.
- Okay.
Just try to shoot around him.
He's not crazy about it.
Yeah, of course.
- Jay's gonna Mike you.
- Okay.
Just keep it on at all times okay?
Okay, what else? Oh, did you
bring your camera?
- I think so, yeah.
- Okay, cool.
I want you to do some
video diaries at night.
What is that?
Um, like, literally a diary
into the camera.
Just talk about, you know,
like, your feelings
or your thoughts about what's happened.
- Is this a reality...
- No, it's not reality.
No, I think it'll give it a more
intimate feel to the doc, you know.
Okay.
Probably won't even use any of
it, but I figure...
Better to have too much footage
than too little.
- Okay, I will do that.
- Cool, thanks.
Okay, I don't care what anyone
says, do not stop rolling okay?
Unless I say cut, do not stop rolling.
And 3, 2, 1.
[Nikki] Scientists believe that there are
10s of 1000s of undiscovered plants...
Animals and insects in
the Amazon rainforest.
New discoveries are found each year.
From 1999 to 2009 alone, 1200
new species were discovered.
[Robby]
Like the chupacabra?
[Nikki]
Cut! Robby are you serious?
[Robby] What? I was watching
the nature channel...
They had a special about the chupacabra,
it was really fascinating.
[Nikki] Yeah, that's
fascinating, just let me
record this while I have
it in my head. Guys!
[Robby]
Okay, sorry.
[Nikki] I know it's been a long day.
We're almost done.
[Robby]
Rolling.
[Nikki] It's estimated that about 70% of
the most effective cancer treatments...
are derived from enzymes found
exclusively in the Amazon.
And now with the discovery of the enzyme
derived from the kambo frog,
we may finally have a cure.
Can we go back now?
[Nikki]
I think we should do one more take.
- That was great.
- That was golden.
So, ask away. Anything.
Well, we're going to go find
a good spot for the interview.
All righty.
- All right, let's go do that.
- Cool.
Like, one minute, John.
I first became interested
in the power of the
enzyme when I participated
in a ritual...
where the kambo frog skin
enzyme is inserted...
under the peoples skin before
they go hunting.
Well, being a scientist, I'd
study the enzyme.
And what I found out is, it's a
powerful immunity booster...
That they use it for other
diseases and inflammation.
So, I study how the enzyme
reacted with cancer cells.
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.
[Rattle]
[Horn]
[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 fuck 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?
[Esteves speaking native language]
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 fuck 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 fuck 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, shit.
- 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
the jungle before we go in?
Sure.
And there's the jungle.
And more jungle.
I'm not sure why she wants so
much b-roll of the jungle...
Because it's pretty much the
same everywhere you look.
Trees.
[Animal growling]
[Nikki]
You get some good stuff, Robby?
Ah, this looks cozy.
What's with the color scheme?
I like it. I think it's nice.
I wish I could paint my apartment.
Wait, how come you get the bed?
Because I have a vagina, Jay.
Oh, Robby. There's a few outlets
over here on this side...
And a couple more across the room.
Make sure you guys keep those
batteries charged, okay?
Don't worry. We have plenty of extra
charged batteries to last us a lifetime.
My vagina is bigger than hers.
You know that.
You have a vagina?
I heard that, Jay.
- Can I have some more?
- Yes.
[Nikki speaking Portuguese]
Thank you.
[Esteves speaking Portuguese]
Thank you.
You say Obrigada 'cause you're a girl.
- If you're a boy, you say obrigado.
- Obrigado.
- Obrigada.
- Yes.
Can I have some more?
It's really good.
You want more?
We've got a lot of ground to cover.
The frogs migration pattern changed last
year because of the
changing environment.
- Sorry.
- Sorry.
I think we'll start on the east
side of the forest...
Because that's where the frogs
were last year.
It's a starting point.
That's where we'll start our search.
Yeah. I've prepared the bags.
But I'll double check in the morning.
Okay then. I'll see everybody
in the morning.
- All right.
- All right.
You mean all of us?
- Yeah.
- Of course.
No women.
- I'm sorry, what?
- Excuse me?
The women will just hold us
back, you know that, John.
Wait are you serious?
We're all going, so you
better get used to it.
Exactly.
- John?
- Andre?
Everybody on the research team
and the camera crew, they're going.
They got a job to do, so do you.
Fine. Your call. But don't say
I didn't warn you.
- What?
- What, is it the 1800s? Seriously.
- It's too dangerous.
- We'll be fine.
[Mina speaking Portuguese]
I was raised here. Im used to it.
[Esteves speaking Portuguese]
I know, but it is still dangerous!
[Mina speaking Portuguese] Its
dangerous for men, too. Not just women.
John, can we trust him?
Yeah, he's a great guy most of the time.
He's just a little bit of a hermit.
Rude is more like it.
- Who's the workaholic now?
- All right.
Okay. I had to send off a few emails.
I'll be done in just a second.
Oh yeah?
You know what? I didn't think
this thing would work...
All the way out here in the jungle,
but it does. It's amazing.
- Oh, you know why it works?
- Why?
Because it's 100% Brazilian.
Oh yeah? There. All done. Now.
Let's say we add some spice to
these video diaries.
Are you sure? I don't want to
interrupt your work.
- No, you're not interrupting anything.
- No?
- I don't think so.
- Come on.
- Wait a second. Okay.
- Robby, we don't have time for this.
If we don't get this on tape
the others won't believe us.
We have to document it.
Now, repeat what you just told me.
- I heard a noise.
- What did it sound like?
I don't know, it was a weird
kind of noise. But...
Weird like how?
It felt like it was in here and then I
felt like it was something out there.
- Did you hear that?
- Yeah, should we wake the others?
- Come on. Let's go.
- Okay.
- Stay close to me, Robby!
- Well, I'm trying!
- Do you have a flashlight or something?
- Not on me, no.
I'm so afraid.
[Yelling]
[Mina]
What was that?
I felt like somebody touched me.
Like somebody touched me.
What?
I'm sorry. Sorry, guys.
Are you all right?
Yes, yes. Everybody's good.
We heard a noise.
I'm trying to get some sleep here.
We just heard a noise outside.
We heard a noise. Just be quiet.
Let's listen.
You heard a noise?
What kind of noise?
Shhh, let's listen.
- Robby, are you getting this?
- Yeah.
- Jay, get the DAT ready.
- Huh?
Get the DAT ready.
What did it sound like?
[Loud bang]
Oh my God!
Like that.
[Animal noises]
Why is he getting high right now?
What?
What is he doing?
[Rafael speaking Portuguese]
Its to calm the spirits.
He said he's doing this
to calm the spirits.
- Are you ready?
- Yeah.
What?
Let's go check it out.
Wait, wait, you guys don't even
know what is out there yet.
Yeah, but we won't know
unless we take a look.
I'll go with you.
- No! No, please, John, don't.
- John, no! No.
Stay here. Stay here.
You have to trust me.
I know this area like
the back of my hand.
There's nothing I haven't seen yet.
[Esteves speaking Portuguese]
Do you want me to go with you guys?
- No, theres no need.
- Robby, go. -You go out there.
Can you see 'em?
You see anything?
It's probably nothing. Just
go back inside. [Whistling]
What the fuck was that?
See?
There's nothing out there.
[Scream]
What the fuck was that?
Did you see that?
Did you guys see that?
Watch this.
No, it can't be. It's gotta be
some sort of animal.
- What's going on?
- I saw something.
- What was it?
- I don't know yet.
Let's just go inside and we can
rewind the tape and check it out.
Yeah.
Okay, let's go inside.
It was probably just a monkey
or something like that right?
A monkey?
We heard it several times before you
guys did. It wasn't just a monkey.
Whatever it is, it's not there anymore.
Like, it's completely
quiet and still out there.
How can you be sure?
Because I'm looking outside.
Do you have infrared eyes?
Looked like a thousand times.
No, Robby I don't have infrared eyes.
It's really still out there now.
You can say what you
will about the footage,
but everyone saw it with their own eyes.
I know we all saw it. I'm just trying
to figure out what the hell that was.
It was probably just an animal.
It didn't sound like an animal.
John, maybe it was that river
phantom you were talking about.
- Anchorage or whatever?
- Anhang?
The forest spirits are only dangerous
to those who do harm. We're not.
Okay. Thanks Obi-Wan.
John, do you really believe that?
Yeah, I do, Ben. I mean,
I'm a scientist...
But there's a lot of things I don't
understand that I believe in.
- What?
- Yeah, I agree.
There's no such thing.
It's probably just a wild animal
like Andre said.
In fact, I bet you sacred him
off with all your screaming.
Can we please just go to bed?
It's really late.
I'm not going to bed, man, with that
thing crawling around out there.
Well, I don't know what it was, but...
Maybe we should just go to sleep.
I mean, we can look around
tomorrow and see if we find something.
It's best.
- Let's just go to bed.
- Okay, that's it.
I'll go to bed but I'm
not going to sleep.
Good night.
You wanna take a break, John?
- No, I said. I'm okay. Just keep on.
- Well, I need a break soon.
- You guys okay?
- Yeah.
He's not looking too good.
What the fuck was that?
Jay. Jay!
Robby, come on!
Okay, okay, I'm coming.
So, which area are we
searching tomorrow?
Oh. Tomorrow we're gonna travel
by canoe. Excuse me.
And head further down this river here.
This is where the frogs usually mate.
You remember, Rafael?
[Rafael speaking Portuguese]
Its been a long
time since Ive been in
that part of the jungle.
My memory not so good.
Oh, but don't worry about that.
I have a pretty good memory of it.
Between the two of us, we'll be fine.
[Esteves speaking Portuguese] I also
know the area. I can help as well.
Well, that's great then.
I mean, it's all settled.
So, everybody, just...
Plan on getting up early tomorrow,
we'll leave at dawn.
Oh, and bring us two sets of clothing,
sleeping bags.
I'll make sure we have tents.
We might have to spend the night, okay?
Okay.
I'm gonna take care of some logistics,
here.
All right. I don't know about
you guys, but I need a shower.
Nikki, if you need a hand with
that shower, I got you covered.
I'm okay, Robby, thanks.
'Cause there's some places that
are hard to reach.
[Andre speaking Portuguese]
Because we are one, two...
We are eight total...
Even though today's search did
not bear results...
I'm hopeful we're on the right track,
and that we'll find a sample soon.
[Animal noises]
What are you doing?
I heard a noise.
Under the bed?
Come on.
Turn that thing off.
This place is starting to get to you.
Are you okay, mina?
[Mina] I almost drowned as a kid.
I never learned how to swim.
- Oh, shit, what was that?
- What was that?
There are some rocks or
sand banks or anacondas.
Anaconda?
Great. That makes
me feel a lot better.
Oh, anaconda, Andre?
- We're fine in the boat.
- Yeah, right, until they crawl in.
[Mina]
Yeah, and they have piranhas here, too.
Shit. She can't swim. Mina!
Get in there, get her!
She can't swim, you guys!
You okay? You need any help?
Is she okay?
She looks okay.
- You all right?
- Just don't panic, mina.
- Robby, do something! Is she okay?
- What the fuck happened?
What do you want me to do?
I got the camera.
You're almost in.
Gotcha. Okay.
- She's all right, you guys.
- Yeah.
[Jay] What are you doing?
[Robby] I was hoping
that his playing would
attract the spirit so
I can get it on tape.
[Jay] Sure. Maybe Bigfoot will
come, too, with the Easter bunny.
[Robby] Thats ridiculous.
Ones a mythical
creature. The other one is not real.
[Jay] You analyze everything.
[Robby] Trying to make sense of
the chaos around me.
[Jay] But nobody makes sense of
anything that you say.
[Robby] Wait, wait, wait.
[Playing harmonica ]
[Speaking Portuguese]
Thats very good.
Who is it from?
Its mine.
Really?
Impressive.
Why? Do you think I cant
write something like that?
Its not that. Its uh...
You dont strike me
as the sensitive type.
Appearances can be deceiving.
You did good out there today.
I mean, for a woman, you did good.
Not sure if thats an
insult or a compliment,
but thanks anyway.
Youre welcome.
Im going to bed.
- Good night.
- Good night.
[Leopard roars]
[Robby]
Is that what I think it is?
Frog droppings.
[Robby laughs]
Oh, gross.
[Esteves] Yes.
[Robby] He just rubbed shit
between his fingers.
Robby! Hes just doing his job.
[Robby] Yeah, well, its a
shitty job if it involves poop.
[Robby] I cant tell whats a
monkey and whats a bird.
[Nikki] Yeah, is that a bird?
What is that?
[Robby] Monkey-bird.
Its like a pterodactyl.
[Nikki] It totally sounds like
a pterodactyl. [Squawking]
- [Robby] Mina.
- What? Yeah?
[Robby] So, did anything
strange happen last night?
No.
Lets get moving, all right?
[John] Break up into small groups.
Were gonna have to expand our search.
Remember, were looking for
signs of the frog.
Well find them at night.
Lets go.
- [Robby] Frog shit huntin in the...
- Robby! Sh!
[Robby whispering]
Were looking for frog shit.
[Nikki] Robby, my feet are
fucking killing me.
[Robby] Its not like we can
scare it away.
[Whispering]
My feet are killing me!
[Robby] I dont understand why people...
[Nikki] Shit!
[Screams and laughter]
[Mina] Oh my God!
- [Nikki] Oh my God!
- [Mina] Are you all right?
[Nikki yelling]
- [Jay] You are totally covered in frog shit.
- [Mina] Are you all right, baby?
Robby, turn that fucking off or
Im gonna kill you!
[Jay] Anybody wanna mud wrestle?
Fuck!
Robby, turn that off!
[Mina] Well, we know its good for skin.
[Nikki] Wow.
Robby, if youre still rolling right
now, Im gonna fucking kill you.
[Robby] Its totally off right now.
[Nikki] Oh, it is so dark out here.
[Robby] I know, I can barely
see the camera.
- I know. Its really freakin creepy.
- [Robby] Its crazy dark.
[Robby] This reminds me when I
went caving once.
[Nikki] Okay, Robby, just stop.
[Robby] See a lot of bats
spelunking. Yeah.
- [Nikki] Sh. Robby, just be...
- [Robby] Try to...
- [Nikki] Did you hear that noise?
- [Robby] Yeah.
[Robby] I dont know.
I dont know what...
[Nikki] What the fuck was that?
Did you hear that?
[Robby] I heard it.
[Robby] Is that somebody
walking behind us or is that...?
[Nikki] What the fuck was that noise?
[Robby] I dont know.
I dont know.
[Robby] Yeah, over here.
[Animal growls]
[Nikki] What the hell?
- [Robby] Sh. I dont know.
- [Nikki] Oh my God.
[Robby] I dont know.
[Nikki]
What the hell was that noise?
[Robby] I dont know.
Hey, over here.
[John] We cant use the net
because the frog will burrow under.
Hes gonna use his hands.
You okay?
[Esteves] Yeah.
[John] One, two. Now!
[Nikki] Oh my God!
Oh my God!
[Robby] Wow. You guys, I
never... I mean, seriously.
[Nikki] I cant believe we just did it!
[John] Okay, a little transfer here.
[Robby] I said Id believe it
when I saw it, but I still dont, man.
- [Robby] I still dont.
- [Nikki] Oh my God.
[John] Keep it closed.
[Men laughing]
[Nikki] Are you ready?
Yeah.
[Nikki] I know that
this is a very personal
quest for you because of your mother.
How are you feeling now that
you finally found it?
Whenever I think of my mom, I
think of someone really brave.
She never gave up on anything.
She... and she fought until her
last breath.
I think thats why I...
Was never a choice for me to give up.
Cancer has taken too many lives
for too long.
We waited long enough for this cure.
[Nikki] I think thats good.
- Yeah? [Nikki] Yeah, I think we got it.
- That was great, mina.
[Andre] Do you, do you really
believe that?
[Mina] Im sorry?
Do you really think that
society is ready for a cure?
I, I dont understand what
youre trying to say.
Okay, just think about it.
We have cured so many diseases
before, like, polio.
But for some reason, we have not been
able to find any more cures in decades.
And new diseases are born every day.
Like aids, Ebola.
Why do you think it is?
I dont know, what do you
think? Its a conspiracy...
No, I think its great
youre trying to save
the world, but dont
forget its a business!
Just business.
And I just dont want you to be
disappointed when you realize that...
The people that really need it
wont get it.
Or wont be able to afford it.
And thats a reality.
You know what, you seem to have
really great insights about society
yet you, you choose to hide in
the middle of the jungle, right?
From everything and everyone.
Well, let me tell you something.
Im not gonna be disappointed.
Because at least I know
Im doing something
about it instead of hiding from it.
[Nikki] Mina.
Wait, stop, dont go too far.
Mina.
[Mina] Im sick of people like that!
[Rafael speaking in Portuguese]
Babe, are you sure you can
translate that?
[Ben] There was a group just like us.
- [Nikki] Of course.
- [Mina] In a place just like this.
[Ben] In a place just like this
and theyre camping and then...
- They went all to bed...
- [Mina] And there was a blonde.
[Nikki] Did he really say that?
[All laughing]
[Jay] Please. No.
[Ben] Everybody went to sleep
at night, right?
And they all got up in the morning,
were having their coffee
and they noticed that one of
their, their group was missing.
[Nikki] Okay.
[Ben] So, they go into his tent
and they say,
hey, um, whats, whats going on?
he didnt, he didnt say anything.
- All he could do was just, you know...
- [Mina] Show.
[Ben] ...Show that there was a,
theres something in his sleeping bag.
Well, so they waited
until the sun came up,
I guess the other members
of the group understood.
- [Mina] Yeah.
- [Ben] It got so hot.
Cobra slithers out of the sleeping bag.
[Mina] And he had to be still
for the cobra to come out.
[Nikki] Oh my God.
[Esteves] You think about this?
[Nikki] I think I would actually have
a heart attack if that happened.
Oh my God.
Its really a nice story
to tell us when were
about to go sleep in some sleeping bags
in the middle of the Amazon.
- [Robby] I did mushrooms once.
- [Nikki] Oh my God.
[Robby] No, I was convinced I
was a frog.
I was, uh, I was at burning man.
[Ben] We need to finish this
food cause we, we just...
We dont need to take it back
since were heading back tomorrow.
[Nikki]
Whoo! Ill have some more.
[Ben] You want some?
[Robby] Im good, man.
Im stuffed.
[Nikki] Only because Im taking
one for the team.
[All laughing]
I really am.
Im thinking about all of you.
[John] You know, there are some things
in this world that were meant to be
and I think finding a cure was
one of those, you know.
Making history.
- [Robby] Making history.
- [Nikki] To making history.
Cheers, guys.
Cheers, Robby.
[Robby]
Cheers.
Another part of history was,
um, was Nikkis graceful fall.
[Nikki] Okay.
Stop it!
[Mina] What happened to Jay?
[Nikki] Jay went to his tent, I think.
[Robby] Hes drunk listening to
music in there.
[Nikki]
Is that what that noise is?
[All laughing] [Nikki] What kind
of music is he listening to?
[Mina] The worst Brazilian kind.
[Nikki] He drinks half a bottle
of cachaa...
And hes all of a sudden Brazilian.
[John] Do not, do not attack
the cachaa.
[Nikki] Oh!
[John] This fine bottle.
[Nikki] You know youve had too much
when you can no longer pronounce it.
[Robby] Hello, beautiful.
[Nikki] What is that noise?
[Robby] Its raining.
Its the rainforest.
Give it five minutes, itll be done.
[Nikki] Its so loud.
- [Robby] Ooh.
- [Nikki] Oh, Jesus Christ!
- [Robby] Wake up!
- [Nikki] Stop with the camera!
[Robby]
I cant. Its in my blood.
Did your mom drop you as a kid?
Seriously.
My stomach hurts.
Get the camera out of my face.
[Robby] Looks like were not
the only ones who overslept.
[Ben] Yeah, man, I wasnt gonna
get up in all that rain.
[Robby]
Hey, Nikki, howre you feeling?
Like shit.
[Andre] We need to leave soon.
We should pack up our tents now.
[John]
Anybody here seen esteves?
[Mina]
What about him?
[John]
Cant find him anywhere.
[Ben] Well, I mean, just think.
Did anyone see him?
[Robby]
Nikki says he was with Jay.
With Jay where?
[Robby]
No, I mean, with him.
Oh. That actually makes a lot
of sense.
[Nikki]
Where the hell were you?
I slept by the fire last night.
[Robby] Is that what youre
calling it these days?
[Mina]
Wheres Stevie?
[Jay] He went back to his tent
in the middle of the night.
What, he didnt come back?
[Andre] Serious, guys,
we have to go if were
gonna make it back to
the cabin before dark.
[Mina] Andre, were not leaving
without him.
[Jay] Im not going anywhere
without Steve.
[Ben] Guys, I, I hate to admit
it, but Andres right.
If we wait any longer, were
gonna be traveling at night.
Thats not safe at all.
[Andre]
Lets do this.
I will take you guys
back to the cabin and
then I come back and look for him, okay?
[John] Lets pack your things.
Lets load em into the canoe.
Hell catch up with us by then.
Rafael. Andre.
[Ben]
Hey, Spielberg.
You wanna turn the camera off
and help everybody out?
[Robby]
Yeah, okay, slick.
[Robby]
You look beautiful.
[John]
I dont know.
Radioed em last night.
They said theyd be here.
[Speaking Portuguese]
We can try to find another way.
There is no other way out of here.
[Nikki]
Then lets radio them again.
[John]
Cant find the radio.
Thought maybe you or Ben had taken it.
No, I didnt.
[Ben]
I think weve been robbed.
- [Mina] What?!
- [Robby] What do you mean?
[Ben] I cant find my laptop anywhere.
[Robby]
Oh, that sucks, man.
[Mina]
Oh, no.
[John] Look, Ive known Jaime and Luan
since they were little kids.
They did not rob us.
[Ben]
So, where are they?
I dont know.
[Mina]
Oh gosh.
I need to go pee.
[Ben]
Still no service, either.
[Robby] Neither is Nikkis.
- Thanks, hon.
- There you go.
[Nikki] Robby, stop it.
[Robby]
Just making sure youre safe.
[Nikki]
Jeez.
[Jay]
Go further.
[Nikki]
Yes, I am going further.
- [Jay] Robby?
- [Robby] What?
Im not doing anything.
- [Nikki] Oh my God!
- [Robby] What, Nikki? What? What?!?!
What is it?
What is it?!
- [Nikki] Oh my God!
- [Robby] What the hell is it?!
[Andre]
Stay away! Stay away!
[Robby] What is that?
Oh my God.
[Andre] John, John, please, please.
[Robby] Oh, fuck.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Oh, fuck.
What is that?
Oh, fuck.
Its the canoe guys foot.
[Nikki sobbing]
[Robby]
Im so sorry, dude.
[Mina] Who could have done
this? And why?
[Ben]
The Indians?
You saw how they looked at us
when we arrived.
[John] Ive been living with them
for 15 years. They didnt do it.
[Ben] Then who did, John?
Whod decapitate somebody?
- Not them.
- Theyre peaceful people.
[Rafael]
It wasnt people.
Whoa-whoa-whoa. No, no.
[Mina] Wait, what do you mean
it wasnt people?
[Andre]
Animal.
[Robby] You mean, it was that,
uh, river spirit?
Uh, anhang whatever?
[Ben]
Youve gotta be kidding me.
Will you show some respect and
turn that thing off?
[Robby] Come on, man. We gotta
document this for the authorities.
Turn it off.
[Robby] Im not turning it off. Youre
gonna have to make me turn it off.
[John] Hey, hey, hey, hey,
enough. Enough.
Why dont we just stop fighting.
Figure out a way to get out of
here and back to the cabin.
[Nikki]
Robby, just...
Just cut it.
[Ben] Just seemed like a good
spot to stop.
[Robby]
Do you believe this guy?
[Mina] You know what?
Maybe we dont need a boat.
I mean, Andre knows this area
pretty well, right?
I mean, were bound to find,
like, a village or someone or something.
[Andre]
Yeah.
- [Ben] I dont think thats a good idea.
- [Mina] Babe, we have no other choice.
[John] We dont have a lot of
choices, Ben.
[Ben]
Theres gotta be another way.
- Were gonna try.
- Well go up river...
And get cell reception and call
for help.
Rafael, up river, any way?
No.
[Andre] Well, we can try the old bridge.
You have to head three Miles east.
It should take us there.
Beyond that, we need to head, uh,
southeast for a day and a half,
maybe two.
[John]
Okay.
This way, well be closer to a village.
[Ben]
Are you sure?
Cause we cant go off on some hunch.
Its our only way out of here, man.
Andres right.
Its our only option, Ben.
[Mina] Babe, I know its dangerous,
but weve gotta get outta here.
Im tired.
I just wanna go home.
[John] Rafael, Andre, go look
for a campsite.
Come on, Jay. Come on.
Give me help with this girl.
Come on, Nikki.
Nikki, lets go.
- [Nikki] Okay.
- [Mina] Lets go.
- [John] Give her a hand here.
- [Nikki] Thanks.
[Mina] Hey, Nikki, how are you
holding up?
- [Mina] Robby!
- [Robby] Yeah?
[Mina]
Whats going on with Nikki?
[Robby] I dont know.
Shes been like that for the past hour.
Maybe shes still hung-over.
[Mina] Hi, honey.
Lets take a break or something?
Nikki, youre scaring me.
Nikki.
[Robby]
You okay, Nikki?
- Look at me.
- Nikki! Nikki!

[Yelling over each other]
[Robby]
Dont hurt her! Dont hurt her!
[John]
Hold the arms!
[Nikki] Get em off me!
Get em off me!
[Yelling over each other]
[Robby] What is that?
What are you doing?
[Ben]
Its a tranquilizer!
[Robby] Is she gonna be okay?
Nikki?
[Robby] Talk to me, Nikki.
Say something.
Juc.
[Mina] Whatd she say?
Whatd she say?
[John]
Juc.
[Mina]
I heard that before.
[John]
It means death.
[Mina] What?
[Robby]
Why are her eyes still open?
You still think its not the spirit?
Yeah, thanks for helping out, buddy.
[John] All right, were gonna camp
around here. Shes not moving.
[Mina] Okay. Let me help her.
[John] Well get her cold water
compress.
[Robby] She gonna be okay? [Mina]
Get some water. Ill clean her up.
[Robby] Oh, man.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
I want to put this on record in
case something happens to us.
Nikkis really sick.
I dont know what to do.
She has a, a fever that wont
go down and she cant,
she cant even drink anything.
Robby thinks its the spirit, anhang.
I dont know.
I dont know what to think anymore.
I feel something is watching us.
I feel like...
I dont know.
Maybe Im losing my mind.
Were walking to this bridge tomorrow.
I just hope we make it.
[Robby] Nikki, rise and shine.
Time to get up. Got work to do.
Come on. Get up.
Nikki?
Nikki.
Nikki.
Oh my God!
Help!
Somebody help!
Over here quick!
I dont know.
Its so fucked up.
- [Jay] What?
- [Robby] I dont know. I dont know.
- [Jay] Oh my God!
- [Robby] I dont know whats going on.
[Jay] Oh my God, Nikki!
Oh, shit!
[Ben]
Mina, hes right.
We cant just leave her here, Ben.
I just cant do that.
[Jay]
It is not even an option.
[Robby] Theres no way we can
just leave her.
[Andre]
Im really sorry for her loss.
But we cannot take her.
[Robby]
Thats bullshit, man.
[John] No, Im sorry,
but Andre is right.
[Rafael praying in Portuguese]
[Mina]
You wanna say something, Robby?
[Robby]
So, Im good.
I'm just gonna get some, uh, shots of
b-roll so we know where to come back to.
So...
We have to go now, Nikki.
Uh...
But...
I promise...
No matter what happens...
I will come back for you.
Im so sorry.
Im so sorry about what happened to you.
Im so sorry.
[Andre] Can you put the light
here, please? [Robby] Yeah. Okay.
[Ben] Im just saying this is,
it looks like a river valley.
Would you like to do this?
No, I dont wanna do it. I-i-i just
know how to... [john] Ben, Ben. Ben...
Let him just find the coordinates.
- [Andre] The light.
- [Ben] You all right, John?
Ive felt better. Im okay.
- [Andre] Light!
- [Robby] Yeah, yeah, okay.
[John]
So, where are we, Andre?
[Andre]
Oh.
Okay, according to my compass, we are
still heading the right direction.
[Ben]
You sure?
About the bridge, are you sure?
I believe so.
[Ben scoffs] Well, were
putting our faith in you.
Im just saying youve gotta be
sure about something. Anything.
[Andre] Hey man, Im
doing my best to get
us out of here. [John]
Ben, just let it go.
[Robby] What is that?
- [Mina] Theres something outside!
- [Robby] Let her in, let her in!
- [Mina] Theres something outside!
- [John] Whoa, mina, are you all right?
[Robby] Whatd you see?
What is it?
[Mina] I dont know! I dont know!
I just saw something moving.
[Robby] I told you guys its

- [John] Rafael!
- [Robby] What the hell was it?
Its okay. Its okay.
[Mina] Its that thing again.
[Rafael]
Outside.
[Speaking Portuguese] It came
after me and I ran here.
[Ben] Okay, mina heard something, too.
[Robby] If we keep quiet, maybe
itll just go away.
- [Jay] Well, what if it doesnt?
- [Robby] I dont know!
[Ben]
Stay here. Mina needs you.
All right. Uh, Andre, no,

Okay.
[Ben]

[Mina] Ben, you cant go!

Be careful, please. Be careful!
[Ben]

[Robby]

[Mina speaking Portuguese]
Close it. Close it.
Oh my God! Oh my God!
[Ben] All right.

[Rafael screams]
[Robby]

[John]
Go!
[Robby]
Im going out there, too.

- [John] Use your light.
[Robby]
Jay. Jay!
I think he went back to the tent.
I would.
You sure its safe to be out here?
Maybe that things still running around.
Keep your eyes open,
and if you see it, run.
[Robby]
Okay. Right. Run.
- Im glad youre in charge.
- [Andre] Sh.
[Robby]
Never thought of that.
Is that...?
[Andre]
Oh, stop moving the light.
[Robby]
Weird-ass nest.
[Andre] Just keep that fucking
light in front of us.
[Robby] All right. I just keep
thinking Im seeing something.
- [Andre] Oh, wait.
- [Robby] What, what is it? What?
- What is that?
- [Andre] Holy fuck.
[Robby]
What is that?
Its the other camera.
Hey, what is that?
[Andre] Oh my God.
Its Rafaels sandal.
[Robby] Okay, we gotta go.
Wait, no, grab the other camera.
[Mina]
Where the hell is Ben?
Wheres Ben?!
Why's blood on my camera?
Whose blood is that?
[Robby]
Im so sorry, mina.
[Speaking Portuguese]
Andre, wheres Ben?
Andre, wheres Ben?
- [Andre] Sorry.
- [Mina] No! No!
[Sobbing]
[John]
Sh. Sh.
[John]
Andre.
You find the machete?
[Andre]
Yeah, its here.
Okay, everybody. Lets all go.
- Okay, Robby. Come on.
- [Robby] Yeah.
[John]
Mina.
Weve gotta go find Jay.
[Robby]
We have to, mina.
We dont know what happened to him.
[John]
Were gonna find him.
[Andre] Come on, guys.
We dont have time.
[Mina]
Its better now.
I dont hear it anymore.
[Andre] I think it came from over there.
[John]
Oh, no.
I, I heard something over, over there.
[Robby] Guys, we cant just stand
around like this. We gotta go, quick!
[Mina]
Well, we have to stay together.
[Robby] Well, then you guys follow me
because Im not waiting around anymore.
[John]
Listen. You all stay together.
Ill go over where I thought I
heard something.
[Mina] No! John, youre not
going anywhere by yourself.
Okay. Andre, Robby, you guys go
check out that way.
And John and I go the other side.
Okay.
Careful.
[Mina]
Are you all right?
[John] After your mother died,
I was so afraid of leaving you alone.
Now look how youve grown.
Im not afraid anymore.
[Popping sound]
[Mina] John.
[John]
There is something. Hey.
[Mina]
Wait. Wait, wait.
[John]
Mina? Mina.
[Mina]
Wait. Wait. John!
[John]
Mina, where are you? Mina?
[Mina yells]
[John] Mina?
[John screams]
[Robby] I cant wait to get the
hell out of here and go home.
I dont know how anybody lives
down here.
Its like living in a big, green tank.
I guess if I was from here itd
be different, you know?
Except for the river monster
killing everyone part.
That part would still suck.
[Andre] Okay, do you ever shut up?
[Robby]
Not really.
When I get nervous,
its how I sort of process.
[Andre]
Stop!
[Robby] You dont have to get
angry, man. Ill stop talking.
Sh. I mean, dont move.
[Robby whispering] Why?
What do you hear?
[Andre]
I think I heard something.
[Robby]
Fuck.
Okay, lets try this way.
[Robby] I wish Id gotten, like, a
better flashlight, like a headlamp.
I had one on my bed. I didnt check the
batteries. [Andre] Okay, stop. Stop.
- [Robby] Im not moving.
- [Andre] Stop talking, please.
[Robby] You need to be more clear
about your stops, Andre.
[Andre] Oh, fuck. Okay, okay,
stay back, stay back.
Okay, please, no, no.
[Robby] Oh my God. Oh my God.
- [Andre] Okay, we have to find mina.
- [Robby] Thats Jay.
Oh, who would do that?
What would fucking
do that to us? [Andre] Come on, Robby!
Come on, we have to go now!
Come on!
[Mina] John!
John!
John!
Dad! No!
[Robby]
Mina! Mina! Oh, fuck, no!
[Andre]
Oh my God!
[Robby] Oh, fuck. Fuck, no!
We gotta go!
We gotta get outta here!
[Andre] Okay, okay, lets

Were fucking dead!
- [Andre] We have to go. Mina!
- [Robby] Hes dead, too!
[Andre] Mina. Come. No! Look at me!
Look at me! We have to go now!
[Robby] If we all go,
weve gotta go now!
[Mina sobbing] I dont
wanna leave him alone!
I dont wanna leave him alone!
- [Mina] No!
- [Robby] We have to go now!
- [Robby] I cant leave him alone!
- [Andre] Mina, please, we have to go.
[Robby] Fuck! Oh, fuck!
[Robby]
You wanna take a break?
I do.
How far is the bridge, man?
Jesus.
[Mina]
Robby, will you turn it off?
[Robby]
Oh, Jesus Christ.
[Robby]
Bridge?!
I think thats a little bit of
an overstatement.
We cant cross that!
Yeah, we have no other choice.
Whos going first?
[Robby]
I guess Ill go first.
Were all gonna have to do it anyway.
Okay.
[Mina]
What about the camera?
[Robby] Ill put it in my backpack.
Its waterproof.
Then toss it over once I get
across, along with yours.
[Mina]
Do you have a rope?
[Robby] I dont have a rope!
Im not MacGyver!
[Mina] You gonna do the best for camera.
Lets go, come on!
Just stay calm. Dont panic.
[Robby] Oh, shit, dont let go of her!
Get her! Get her!
Hang on!
[Andre] You can do it!
You can do it on your own!
[Robby] Dont let go of her!
Dont let go of her!
There you go!
Get a good grip!
There you go!
[Robby] Keep going!
There you go!
You're almost there!
[Robby]
There you go.
[Andre] Okay, now we can rest
for a bit, right?
But then we have to keep going.
Youre okay?
[Mina]
Yeah.
- [Andre] Okay.
- [Robby] Anybody bring a beer?
[Whistling]
[Mina] Did you hear that whistle?
Its like hes following us.
[Animal growling]
- [Andre] We have to go over here.
- [Mina] Put the camera down.
[Robby]
What?
- [Robby] What?
- [Mina] Nothing.
[Andre] Lets camp here.
[Robby] You guys.
Can we just rest for a second?
Okay, I just, I just need a second.
Man, its gonna get dark.
[Robby] Yeah, I know.
I just...
This is really taking a lot out
of me and I just...
Do you guys even know where were going?
[Mina] You know what?
Why dont you put the camera down?
I mean, we dont need to be
filming right now and its just...
[Robby] I think, I think its important
that we keep shooting, though.
[Mina speaks Portuguese to Andre]
[Robby] Hey, what is it?
What is it?
Oh, shit!
Oh my God, its Ben!
[Andre]
Side, side!
- [Robby] Is he alive?
- [Mina sobbing] Ben!
[Robby]
Is he okay?
[Andre]
I dont know.
[Robby]
Does he have a pulse, man?
[Andre] Yeah. I think hes
alive. I think hes alive.
[Mina]
Baby, can you hear me?
[Robby] No, Im not a medic, man.
We shouldnt move him.
We dont know whats broken.
[Andre] Put that fucking camera
away and help me!
[Robby]
All right.
- [Robby] I think I see a cabin.
- [Andre] Where?
[Robby]
Straight ahead.
- [Robby] Right up there.
- [Andre] Where?
[Robby] I see one right, right
in front of us. Lets go.
[Mina speaking Portuguese]
[Robby] Why are you applauding
the building?
[Andre]
Oh, thats what we do here.
[Robby]
Okay, should I clap too?
[Andre]
No, please, just shut up.
- [Robby] All right.
- [Andre] Hello!
[Both speaking Portuguese]
[Mina]
Looks empty.
[Robby] Yeah, there could be booby traps
or a bamboo pit or something. No.
[Andre] Maybe we can...
Whoa-whoa-whoa, wait, wait!
[Both speaking Portuguese]
- [Mina] Bring Ben.
- [Robby] Okay.
- [Robby] Andre!
- [Andre] Oh, I found a radio!
[Robby]
Come on, lets just do this.
Im really not in the mood right now.
[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, shit, 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 fuck was that?
Oh, shit.
[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, shit.
[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, shit!
- [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.
