Aruanas (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Weiras - full transcript

Natalie and Gregory visit the native tribe that was attacked and help the survivors. To clean his image, Miguel rescues everyone and takes them to the shelter.

In the dead of night,

the Cari Reserve,
located in Amazonas state,

was dissolved
with no public enquiry.

On March 24, the Cari Reserve
was secretly dissolved.

Today I'm going there
on an expedition

to understand
what's behind this move.

Look.

Verônica just got
her new fact.

I'm going to Brasília
to find out who's behind this.

My brother,
Congressman Dulcidio Ferraz,

was wrongly arrested because
he had a suitcase of money.



It's dangerous to carry
a suitcase of money.

A decision
in my brother's favor

would give me courage
to do what you

and my daughters want.

-Amir, what are you doing?
-We need a room for the office.

Can you stop this, please?

-Calm down!
-Go away!

You need to get treated.

Amir,
don't make things harder.

It's hard for me, too.

-I miss you, Verônica.
-I miss you, too.

What's wrong?

Gilberto asked
for sole custody of Ian.

-It doesn't mean anything.
-Maybe it's best for Ian.



He was spying on us.

Who are you,
and who do you work for?

Gregory Meloy.
I'm an anthropologist.

I work
at Biodiversidade Internacional.

You're going to be the focus
in an important action.

It's harder for people arrested
for recidivism to be released.

Who here
hasn't been arrested?

-What the hell is this?
-Easy...

What about those
who make a living at this?

Easy! Calm down!

You asshole!

-Who started this mess?
-I did!

They have nothing
to do with this!

Won't these women
ever leave?

-They came to get you out.
-Verônica?

-Everything's okay now.
-What are you doing here?

I missed you.

Don't touch me.

-I missed you...
-Don't touch me, Ramiro!

Don't touch me!

Okay.

Alright. I'm sorry.

Please,
don't be scared of me.

I've changed.

You have good reasons
to not want to see me.

-So stop the car.
-I've changed.

-Stop the car, Ramiro.
-Okay, okay. I'll stop.

There.

Wait. Clara, wait. Listen.

I came here
because I want to apologize.

Apologize for what?

For everything.

-What is everything?
-You know.

For the authoritarian

and aggressive way

I treated you.

I'm sorry...

Please, forgive me...

-I'm sorry...
-Don't touch me.

I got it.

I'll leave.

Wait. Clara! Clara!

Clara... Clara, wait!

Clara!
Clara, come back inside!

It's dangerous!

Not for me.

The key to room 54, please.

There are no more keys here.

Did anyone leave me
a message?

-Brazilian.
-No.

Not even Gilberto or Ian?

Crap...

Damn it...

-I'm sorry.
-It's me.

Are you okay?

What happened?

I'll tell you later.

Okay.

Sleep.

Luiza,
Verônica isn't answering.

So that's it. Let's go.

No, wait.

First of all,
congratulations to Clara.

She backed herself up.

-Saved me from my 10th arrest.
-She got out on her own.

Coffee anyone?

Yesterday Nat and I met
an anthropologist.

Gregory Meloy.

She stayed with him
to finish her story.

-Why do we trust him?
-I trust Nat's intuition.

He works at Biodiversidade,
a serious NGO.

-Does Verônica know Nat stayed?
-No.

You know that's risky, right?
Look up this Gregory.

Nat's story is essential
for Verônica's injunction.

We all have a lot to do here,
right?

Do what you have to do.
Come here, Clara.

-Luiza, are you sure?
-Wait. Hey.

The three of us are going
to a clandestine market

in the south zone of Cari,
okay?

-So we have to be disguised.
-Yes, honey.

If we can find
the gold path,

we'll know who's benefiting
from the prospecting.

But I'm going instead of Clara.
She spent the night in jail.

-And you were at the hospital.
-You look awful.

-Stay close to me.
-Okay.

-Get better.
-I'm fine!

Do you want to be André's date?
That's the disguise.

-You're joking.
-C'mon!

He'll be my date!

They let me test the hairs,
but I must return them.

Why? Superstition?

Rituals, tradition,
everything.

Body parts need to be buried
with them,

even their hair.

What was the result
of the contamination?

25% have a high level
of mercury.

Are they isolated?

No, the Ueran know
a little Portuguese.

They're a little famous
because of two shamans.

Really? Why?

In 2012 there was a fire
in Roraima

which almost burned
the entire state.

So the governor asked
for Cucrit and Mantí shamans

to do a rain dance there.

Did it work?

They danced for a few hours
on the banks of River Gurá,

asking the Corotí god
for rain.

-And?
-And...

The rain came
and put out the fire.

-Wow... That's surreal.
-Crazy.

The governor wanted
to give them full-time jobs.

-Did they agree?
-No. No way.

They just wanted
to go back home.

We should have filmed you
telling that for the story.

We recorded the audio.

But you can ask them
to tell you everything soon.

BRASÍLIA, DISTRITO FEDERAL

Where are you, Verônica?
You missed the meeting.

Update me.

Luiza, André and Clara went
to the clandestine market.

Who authorized them?

What? She did.

-What about Nat?
-She stayed at the reserve.

Alone?
With no one from Aruana?

No, she's with Alan
and an anthropologist.

Is there anyone slightly
responsible on this team?

Yes, but that person
was sleeping.

I have to go.

I have a meeting with Amir.
He's helping us with a contact.

Bye.

The shower is great here.

I'm going to accept your help
with the lobbyist.

Tell me more about him.

I will.

Her.

-It's a her?
-Yes.

Olga.

She worked for me.

-You always look flawless.
-Amir.

Now she's a lobbyist.

You smell nice...

For the main mining companies
in Brazil.

Wow...

-Cool, right?
-What an uplifting job!

You haven't changed one bit.

This is Verônica Muniz,
my lawyer.

Hello. How are you?

She's also lawyer at Aruana,
the NGO your wife created.

And you, the good Samaritan,
finance it.

It's a pleasure.
We're colleagues.

Nice to meet you.

Let's go?

You usually aren't escorted
by lawyers.

Only when I'm in Brasília.

Everything okay there?

Of course I remember!

-Wasn't it the Canastra Bar?
-Yes.

How old were we?

I think we were about 20.

Twenty! That's crazy...

All I did was drink
back then.

But Aruana has had
important achievements.

Tell her, Verônica.

I don't know what Amir
wants me to tell you,

because Aruana
has a 10-year history.

I wouldn't know
where to begin.

Tell her about
the win at Cerrado.

I agree with her.

You can't express 10 years
in 10 minutes.

Verônica?

One day you, Natalie
and I should get together.

So you can tell me
everything.

Amir...

Why did you look for me
after so many years of silence?

Well, excuse me.

I want to buy property rights
to Cari Reserve.

Is it safe?

God...

Are they the shamans?

Yes.

Where's Alan?

Raoni, put it down!
Put it down!

Put it down. Put it down.

I know.

Is there anyone hurt
we can help?

We have to leave.

Where's everyone?
Where's everyone?

Raoni. Raoni.
We have to leave.

Let's go. Let's go.

Do you want to be a miner?

I see a conflict.

Nat is not radical.

What about her?

Is it safe or not
to buy the rights?

It's safe.

They'll soon be distributed
to foreign companies.

I think you can still buy them
for a reasonable price.

But you have to hurry.

Why? Do you need my help?

What if the president
changes his mind?

He won't. He can't.

He's committed.

What politician
supported this?

Who's paying
for the dissolution?

Are you working for Aruana?
Or for her?

Him?

I don't understand.
Why are you asking him this?

I asked about the president
changing his mind

about
the reserve dissolution.

Have you two been friends
for a long time?

If the president is influenced,
we still have the judiciary.

The decree can be cancelled
by the courts.

The area has always been known
for its mineral richness.

What did the president do?

He authorized an operation.

It's unlikely that a judge
will cancel a presidential decree.

Yes, it was the best option.

The area is full
of illegal prospecting.

By exploring,
the State generates taxes,

controls
the deforestation...

That is always
the easiest excuse:

letting the companies
handle it.

The State must take over
the importance of the reserves.

Honey...

The dimension of the State
is a hard and long debate,

and I have to go.

Give Nat my love.

So?

What was that?

-What?
-C'mon!

The way she talked
about Aruana and Nat,

the explicit way she shows
she's close to you.

-Are you jealous?
-Screw you.

C'mon, Verônica, I love you.

Amir, Nat is alone
in the Cari Forest,

doing a suicidal story.

I should be there with her,
not here with that bitch.

At least I found out the reserve
is divided in foreign companies.

Do you remember I only met her
to help you?

Who do you think did this?

The prospectors.

I want to triple
the diameter of the area.

The Canadian machine
gets here this week.

I need a safe space
to store the gold.

Won't the devastation
attract too much attention?

Whose attention?
The government? Nonsense.

The area isn't yours yet,
Miguel.

Do you see all these people
working, Felipe?

If it's not mine,
whose is it?

Excuse me, Miguel.

The native issue was solved.

He's a friend, Rao.

Want some water?

What is it?

We have to go
to the DENAP station.

Everything was filmed.
We can change this situation.

The authorities won't come.
DENAP is the best way.

We don't know
where they are.

Everyone is in danger here.

Okay, let's go.

C'mon.

I'll help you.

Thank you very much.

It was a pleasure.
If you need me, I'm around.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hi, pretty lady.
Can I help you?

Maybe.

-Ícaro.
-Laís Lobo.

That's a nice name.

I'm looking for gold
for that gringo.

He's anxious.

His type is always
around here.

Your problem is over.

Come on over, guys.

The gold is coming out
of the oven.

They separate the gold
from mercury here?

Exactly.

Isn't this dangerous?

C'mon, where is it?

He wants to see it.

Come with me.

The gringo's girl
is annoying me.

I'll come by later, alright?

Let's go?

Look!

Really?

C'mon...

C'mon. What the hell?
Where's the fucking thing?

He wants to see
the real gold.

-Refined gold is in Switzerland.
-Don't I know that?

C'mon. He's not a player.
Let's get out of here right now.

-I don't want to talk to him.
-Wait, wait, wait.

C'mon, c'mon.

Thanks.

Doesn't the smoke
hurt your eyes?

I'm used to it.

You're so beautiful.
Can I take a picture?

Come over here a little.
A little more.

Great.

Are you buying anything?
We have trinkets, rings...

No, ma'am.

What about your ring?

Is it a love memory?

You noticed?

This is fake, girl.
I'm not a fool.

Day wore gold on her neck,
her teeth, her wrists...

Do you know what happened
to her? She vanished.

But her gold
must be melted somewhere.

Girl?

-Where's Clara?
-I don't know. Let's go.

How far is it, man?

Alligator, jaguar fur...
Come back here.

I only need you to open the way
with the environmental NGOs.

That seems fair.

We destroy 2,800 miles
of tropical forest,

evict 5,000 people
from their homes,

while you help me preserve
the Cari Reserve.

We already talked about this.
I want progress for the country.

Your idea of progress
is obsolete, Your Honor.

Excuse me.

Wait.

-We need to stop.
-Of course.

Do you want water?

Breathe.

We'll go down
the first 1.2 miles this year.

How deep do you expect
to go?

650 feet,
maybe a little more.

The hole needs to be opened
as an inverted mountain.

-Excuse me.
-Excuse me.

What's the problem, Nelson?

Natalie is in the reserve
with a film crew.

She's with the Ueran.

We have surrounded the perimeter
and are awaiting orders.

If you want,
we'll take care of this today.

How?

Get my chopper ready.

Hey, hey! Stop!

Quick, go, go!

C'mon! Let's go!

Trust me. Come with me.

Let her come with me.

We're close to the station.
We'll walk. Take care of her.

Easy.

How did you know I was here?

I intercepted
a radio message.

I couldn't abandon
the Ueran!

Let's go!

Don't worry.

Girl. Girl.

Girl.

Girl. Girl.

Here.

What happened?

Do you feel better?

You inhaled.

It's normal. People faint.

I want this one.

Not this one.
She's for the virgin auction.

Then why is she here?

For the rehearsal
of the show.

Joyce, get him a flyer.

-Hey, dude.
-What's up, bro?

-Wait here. Let me go alone.
-Be careful!

-What about the gringo?
-I want to see the gold first.

-Alone?
-We'll get him later. Let's go?

I don't know, lady.
It's a full moon tonight.

Let's see
if the gold is good.

Hey, Paco. We have a client.

-Hey.
-Just a sec.

This one.

Pretty, huh?

The gringo wants
a large amount.

There's no large amount.
It all sells when it comes out.

Who sells it?

You want to know too much.

Take me to the source.

Why would I?

I can give you a part
of my share.

Can I trust Laís Lobo?

We can get along.

It's in your hands.

No one has a free pass
into the prospect area.

Don't you own the ferry?

You already know about me.
You're smart.

That's all?

You're hot and pretty.

Where is she?

-When are you meeting Ícaro?
-Soon!

What about Ian's
custody hearing tomorrow?

-It's Thursday.
-You sure?

Absolutely. I'll make it.

The older you are,
the less common sense you have.

For God's sake,
where's Clara?

-Damn it, Clara!
-I fainted.

Because of the mercury.

A girl gave me water.
Her name is Joyce.

I was in a place where they make
young girls have sex.

Child sexual exploitation
is common here.

It's screwed up, I know.

-But it's in all of Brazil.
-I'll show you.

No... Hey, hey.

We're not going anywhere.

It's not our focus.

They're only children,
Luiza.

-They're not even 15.
-And other NGOs handle this!

You can't stray
from what we came to do.

-I'm following a lead alone.
-What?

If I'm not back in 24 hours,
it's bad.

Give me 24 hours.

Do you want to hold my hand?

C'mon, hold my hand.

Hold my hand.

One more.

Easy. Here. Here.

Who is he?

I got her.

My brother is a doctor.
Did you know that?

After spending 3 months
on call in the ER,

he got used
to all the atrocities he saw.

If he sees a patient
with a knife in their head,

he feels sorry,
but not touched.

And?

Clara...

Over time,
you'll get used to it, too.

Okay?

Go for it.

-Thank you, Your Honor.
-It's not a favor.

Such a serious matter
can't be the object

of a simple
presidential decree.

I think the Congress
must be heard.

I do, too.

But you know this injunction
won't last long, right?

We have enough time.

Thank you very much,
once again.

I heard you talked
to Congressman William Corsoi.

As usual,
you're well informed.

You can bet I am.

Did you talk
about my brother's case?

We did.

Your brother's case
is simpler than you imagine.

You really think so?

And what's most important is
William knows he's innocent.

-He said that?
-Clearly.

It won't be hard
to get the habeas corpus.

-I'm very grateful.
-There's one more thing.

The Congressman said
the true criminal is close

to being arrested.

-They have new evidence.
-Evidence? What evidence?

Turn yourself in, senator.

Let your brother come home.

I'll collect my share later.

It'll be the best deal
of your life.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

Are we ready? Let's go!

You're laughing
because it didn't happen to you.

-It was just a little knife.
-Little knife? It was 4 inches.

-Stop it.
-It was 1/8 of an inch.

I'll beat your ass
in a game of pool.

Falcão.

Tell the boys I'm leaving.
I'm very tired.

Really?

I thought
we were going to dance.

Have you played purrinha?

-I don't have time.
-Because you're always online.

-Clara left.
-What? Why?

She was tired and left.

But I'm tired.

No, I still have to go
to Cari.

See you in São Paulo then?

-Yes.
-Okay.

Take care, Nat.

You, too.

Would you like some?

Thank you.

May I?

Please.

-Did everything work out?
-Yes.

It's a good thing
you showed up.

Do you have any idea
what you were doing?

I was doing a story.

I don't know if it was
about the prospecting,

the tons of mercury
contaminating the rivers,

or the massacre
of the Ueran.

Listen.

Follow my advice.

This is a hostile land.

Leave Cari.

I just heard it
on the radio.

The reserve is protected!

What?

There's an injunction dismissing
the reserve dissolution.

They withdrew
the presidential decree!

It has been withdrawn!

Let's celebrate!
Let's celebrate!

Come here!

Hey.

I came to rescue you.

Is it day already?

"Violence, mercury
and child prostitution:

the damage
of illegal prospecting."

The girls are part
of our cause.

I'll save them.
And you're coming with me.

AUCTION OF VIRGINS

-Did you see how many?
-What?

-Look.
-Jesus...

Your gift.

Psilocybin,

Laís Lobo.

I...

I talked to Nat.

She's fine.

Good.

What about you?

I missed my flight.

Actually, I...

I don't even know
why I'm here.

Vê...

I'm tired.

I'm tired of pretending
I don't care.

I'm tired of pretending
I don't want it.

Me, too.

I'm telling Nat everything.

What's wrong?

What's going on?
You're acting weird with me.

It's not you.

It's not you. It'll go away.

I'm here if you need me.

-What's wrong?
-I'm sorry.

Did I wake you?

-It's four in the morning.
-I have to go.

I have Luiza's son's
custody hearing in São Paulo.

I need to get ready.

-Weren't you going to Cari?
-I'm going to Cari.

But I have to go
to São Paulo first.

-I'll take you to the airport.
-It's okay. Go back to bed.

-Why?
-Amir...

What we feel for each other
is real, but it's wrong.

Verônica, what we talked about
meant nothing?

I can't stand in the way
of you and Nat. It's wrong.

Verônica...

Saying the Earth is round
was wrong.

Right and wrong always change,
but love is never wrong.

It's wrong while you're still
married to my friend.

But I want to be with you.

It's impossible.

You don't want me
to split up with Nat?

I want us to stop feeling
what we feel for each other.

But I'll split up with Nat.

And I with you.

Do you know when a triangle
comes undone?

When one of the corners
comes loose.

Bye.

Who will scream first, who?

the scream that unleashes
in despair

the chest that breaks
in the thunder

who's going
to watch the fire, who?

the soul that dances
in the humming flame

the pores burn, devastation

who will leave their homes?

who will disappear
from the world?

untie the dead knot?

see in the dark?

sabotage the offense?

who's going to cure the cure?

is it the serum
from the crying?

who's going to ask
forgiveness?

who's going off the path?

who's changing their ways?

who's going to be the first?

who will be silent in vain?
