The Death
1 A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES [Republic's "A Hátunk MÃgÃtt a Hó" playing over gramophone.]
[heartbeat.]
[gramophone music fades.]
[ominous music.]
[heartbeat slowing down.]
[faint heartbeat.]
[fire crackling.]
[tribe chanting.]
[chanting continues.]
[Ushe.]
I had to take the poison, to show him it was safe.
He's dead.
We must free our people.
We'll have to fight.
[Yua.]
You cannot fight.
I'm okay.
[Ya'arikawa tribesman.]
He's dead! He's dead! [tribesman 2.]
They killed him! [tribes people shouting.]
[clamoring.]
[ominous music.]
[tribesmen shouting and chanting.]
Save them! We can't leave them, we have to fight.
[labored breathing.]
[whispering.]
What are you doing? We can't leave them.
[tribesmen shouting in distance.]
We'll be useless to the jungle if we die.
Let me go to them, please.
[distant tribesman shouting.]
We must protect this place.
No.
We need to protect our people.
If we die the door will be closed forever.
And the knowledge will get lost.
Let me go.
What will you do? You can't do anything.
Will you let them die? Are you going to let them die? [distant flames crackling.]
[tribes people screaming.]
This is our path.
There's no other.
[ragged breathing.]
[screaming.]
[screaming continues.]
[distant screams.]
[thrum of tropical insects.]
[Ushe.]
Cachicamo, you are the way.
[Márquez.]
Do you want some water? Strange things have happened since we captured this fucker.
My men are scared.
The jungle's full of hearsay.
Has he said anything? Not a word.
Either he doesn't speak our languages, or he's the strongest guy in the jungle.
Any other man would've cracked.
But this motherfucker is tough.
Why are you so sure he is one of the murderers? We found him alone, close to where they found the bodies.
There were some darts.
Some darts with the same curare used by the Ya'arikawas.
[retches.]
Are you pregnant? Can I take him? [coughs.]
Where to? And what for? He's a suspect a witness.
I must interrogate him, and he looks like shit.
What will you say? Where did you get him? You found him walking somewhere? You'll have to trust me.
Also, we have a deal.
[sighs.]
As I've been paying the hospital for your father, I can unplug him if I want to.
Take him but you're going to stop bugging me, Iván and my people.
Here, in Yurumà and in Puerto Manigua.
Understood? I'll put a hammock up for you.
You must rest so you can leave tomorrow morning.
- Easy! - Easy, what? You piece of shit! Iván didn't want you alive.
So? You obey like the motherfucker you are? - It was an order.
- An order? So what? You piece of shit! Touch me again and I'll kill you.
That's why they didn't want you in your fucking community! Fucking piece of shit.
What? [Márquez.]
Hey! What's going on? Have you gone crazy? This is not your problem.
[shouting.]
Everything that happens here is my problem.
If you want to kill each other, do it, you fuckers, but not here.
You leave at dawn, and I don't ever want to see you again in my fucking life! Sleep, you bastards! [birds calling.]
[Helena breathing heavily.]
[Yua.]
Who are you? Who are you? [Helena groans.]
If you pull me, we can't continue.
[Maderero.]
Come on, we don't have all day.
[chuckles.]
Come on.
You're healing.
I don't want to heal.
Tomorrow we can drink of it and we'll be strong.
Mother will tell us how to continue.
The screams don't go away.
We can still do something.
We have to keep them from spreading their evil in the jungle.
[birds chirping.]
I warned you.
When I saw the Frenchmen the first time.
You didn't listen.
I thought I was doing good.
You did nothing.
If our brothers died we should've died with them.
I killed him.
And condemned my people.
We saved the knowledge of the jungle.
Our connection is the most sacred element.
More sacred than their lives? [ethereal music.]
That's how he used to think.
Not even death will be able to free us from this darkness.
But I will search for it.
[ethereal music continues.]
[Yua wheezing rapidly.]
[Helena.]
We're going to see Verónica.
Go by yourself.
I won't go to Puerto Manigua, I must go back to my community.
As long as you're with me, you follow my orders.
Besides, he's connected to the murder and is dying.
- You don't understand anything.
- What don't I understand? That you weren't strong enough to kill me? You're just lucky to be alive.
I'm alive because you're a dumbass.
Iván threatened to kill my community and my wife.
Who are you? Why should I choose you? Since you got off that helicopter, I'm the only one that tried to help you.
Take me to Puerto Manigua.
Then go to your community.
[Yua groans.]
[Helena.]
Where are we? At the back of the harbor.
Can you stay with him? [Yua breathes raggedly.]
I'll go get help.
[labored breathing.]
Where is Ushe? [ragged breathing.]
[breathing becomes more labored.]
I saw you take her from the rubber mills.
Ushe? You know her? [Yua wheezing.]
I'll be right back.
[Yua breathes raggedly.]
[wheezing.]
[Yua.]
Who are you? Let's go.
Quick! Quick! - Let's go.
Let's go.
- [Yua wheezing.]
[engine starts.]
Fuck, the inspector.
[tense music.]
Fuck.
Drop us at the hotel.
Look.
He's like Ushe.
[Yua gasping.]
[Helena.]
Easy.
Easy.
Easy.
[whispering.]
Easy.
Drink some water.
What's your name? [gasping.]
Yua.
His name is Yua.
Nobody can know we're here.
Servus Eternal slave.
[loud thrum of insects.]
That was among my dad's things.
Several myths emerged from the rubber mills.
There was a man who survived many generations of slavery.
His owners would beat him hard to set an example for the others accusing him of witchcraft.
I'll keep watch.
- [birds calling.]
- [thrum of insects.]
[birds calling.]
[ominous sound.]
[disquieting sound.]
[disquieting sound.]
[disquieting sound.]
[Yua breathing raggedly.]
[disquieting sound.]
[Yua.]
They're Ya'arikawa.
[Helena.]
Are you okay? [gasping.]
Who are you? [Yua.]
Helena.
The world is in danger.
In the heart of the jungle is hidden its secret and balance.
If you control the heart, you control the body.
Joseph stole the key to get into the sacred place.
[Helena.]
Joseph? [Yua.]
He isn't from the jungle.
[ominous drum.]
He comes from far away.
He is the leader of the Ya'arikawas.
[ominous drum.]
[ominous drum.]
He must be stopped.
[ominous drum.]
[ominous drum.]
[ominous drum.]
The white demon.
[gasping.]
Don't fear the visions.
They'll always lead the way.
[loud thrum of insects.]
[haunting music.]
[haunting music continues.]
It's time.
Did you drink? Why? Why? I had never felt this empty.
It's a fear that eats my insides.
And devours me.
Leave with your fear, Yua.
Let me go.
[haunting sacred music.]
[haunting music continues.]
[Helena.]
Wilson ever talk about a white demon? - [Latin music in distance.]
- Not that way.
The communities describe white men as demons, damaging the jungle.
He mentioned a Joseph.
A foreigner chasing an indigenous woman.
No surprise.
I must check the archive.
The archive at the station? From where I was sent to kill you? They must know what's happening in Bogotá.
Sure, while we wait for backup from Bogotá, they'll kill my family.
Trust me.
What will you do? Search for this Joseph guy.
Reynaldo it's okay.
You better stay here.
Take care of Yua.
Please.
Be careful.
If I'm gone too long, call my boss in Bogotá.
[muffled voices from TV.]
[Helena.]
You really work hard here.
That's great.
[TV playing in background.]
[Helena.]
Hey.
Márquez says hello.
He wants to play golf with you.
I've gotta make a call.
[door slams.]
Juli how are you? Márquez isn't guilty and also I have a witness.
I may know where the alleged killer is.
[voices continue from TV.]
[whispers.]
Juli, listen to me.
Iván was sent to kill me.
Yes.
Yes, it's true.
I'm alone in this shithole, I need people.
Backup, I don't know.
Okay.
Thank you.
[voices over TV.]
Are you asking for backup? Yes.
If you're scared, I'll protect you.
Thanks.
But if they found out about what you've done, they'd send the entire army.
Don't you think? [voices over TV.]
[Helena.]
So, is the soap opera good? Yes? You're useless.
RamÃrez find Reynaldo for me, and turn off that fucking TV.
[to himself.]
That motherfucker.
[seething.]
That motherfucker.
"European migrants find refuge from war on the Colombia-Brazilian border.
" MISSIONARIES TO THE "AMAZONIAN RECONQUEST" UNDER THE ORSIC AGREEMEN "Opening of the first church of the Order of the Sisters of Charity in the Brazilian Amazon.
" NAZI SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION ON JAVARI VALLEY "The young German scientist expedition led by Dietmar Schroeder, Joseph Schulz" "Religious community hosts Nazi cells.
" [door knocks.]
[Helena.]
You told me Ushe was the victim of a white man.
Of a demon.
How did you know that? It was my intuition.
It's a crime to conceal information.
I'm not concealing anything.
Tell me about the congregation that was here before.
Who used to host Nazis.
Know something? Those were different times, the sisterhood was very different.
I'm sure they accepted anyone who seemed repentant.
Among those repentant people, do you remember a Joseph Schultz? Raquel, you told me I could come talk to you whenever I wanted to.
I want to talk.
Today is not a good day.
Maybe I can talk with the other sisters, yeah? With the kind, indigenous girl, who's a bit strange.
She told me eternity belonged only to the jungle.
Do you know what that means? Hiding things is a heavy burden.
Not when it's for the sacred.
When Ushe came into our lives she changed everything completely.
Why didn't you tell me you knew Ushe? I was afraid.
That murderer has taken many of our lives.
Did someone threaten you? [sighs.]
I just wanted to protect her.
Ushe had very few things.
But one of the things she had, should now be yours.
Ushe was pretty close to your parents.
[melancholy music.]
[melancholy music continues.]
I have so many questions.
[slow heartbeat.]
[Helena yelps.]
[groans.]
Freeze.
Very brave, you fucker.
I'm swine? You said I was swine? - [gun clatters.]
- [groans.]
[Helena groans.]
[both groaning.]
[Helena gasps.]
- [metallic clicking.]
- [Helena pants.]
[gun cocks.]
- [Helena panting.]
- Let's see.
[gunshot.]
