Aruanas (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Gold-Digging - full transcript

Nat is alone
in the Cari Forest,

doing a suicidal story.

Put it down.

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

I want progress for the country.

Your idea of progress
is obsolete, Your Excellency.

I'm looking for gold
for that gringo.

Your problem is over.

They separate the gold
from mercury here?

Exactly.

Take me to the source.



We can get along.

Are you buying anything?
Girl?

-I want this one.
-Not this one.

She's
for the virgin auction.

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

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

I'm following a lead.

If I'm not back in 24 hours,
it'll be something bad.

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

Natalie is in the reserve
with a film crew.

We have surrounded the perimeter
and are awaiting orders.

Hurry!

-We'll take care of this today.
-Get my chopper ready.

Do you have any idea
what you were doing?



I was doing a story.

Follow my advice.

Leave Cari.

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

This is Verônica Muniz,
my lawyer.

Hello, how are you?

The area is full
of illegal prospecting.

The State must take over
the importance of the reserves.

What did the president do?
He authorized an operation.

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

Excuse me.

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

We have enough time.

The reserve is protected!

They withdrew
the presidential decree!

You'll see Agulhas.

It's not the largest,
but it's busy.

I want to see
if it will cover our demand.

Hey, pretty lady.
Keep it low key.

Are you worried?

C'mon, everyone.

You're hot.

I'm taken.

Can't handle
more than one man?

-How are the rocks here?
-There are plenty.

But there are none left
for us.

They keep an eye on us.

People are stealing.

And how would you pay me?

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

Want some coffee?

-Can I get a beer?
-You're the boss.

Is it cold?

-Ice cold.
-That's it, then.

Ícaro brought you here,
right?

Maybe. Keep the change.

I'm serving lunch soon.

It's R$ 50.

Listen.

Where does all this gold go?

-To the owner.
-Who's the owner?

That one?

That one is a stooge, lady.

Almost no one knows
who the owner is.

You know.

-You know!
-Maybe.

I'll give you a hint.

Every week he sends a boat
to pick up a batch.

It'll come today.

-How lucky!
-Yeah.

What boat? What time?

Like it?

-It's a good one.
-Well...

It’s a blue and white boat,
at 10 am.

Thanks.

Hey, Jussara,
how's lunch today?

It's hearty.

So go heavy on the spices.
Today I have a date.

I can tell.

Come, beautiful.
I'll introduce you to the guy.

Listen.

Watch out for his girlfriend.
She's unstable.

Is she here?

For God's sake...

Dotcom, I can't reach Luiza.
Tell her I'll be a little late.

You're going to the mine, too?
You're not coming here?

No, I'm going to Ian's hearing.
I'll go there after.

Dotcom, where's Luiza?

As you can see,

not even for her son's
custody hearing

does Luiza Laes show up.

-This is why my client...
-I'm sorry, Your Honor.

All flights from Brasília
were delayed.

I was about to close
the session.

Thankfully I got here
in time.

-Gilberto.
-Where's Luiza?

Your Honor,
my client is in the Amazon,

because of her job.

Unfortunately, she won't be able
to come to the hearing.

I'm sorry, Your Honor,
but this is a mockery.

My client and I
would like to proceed.

It would be extremely unfair,
Your Honor.

A mother who hasn't seen
her son in 2 weeks.

This was arranged
with the father.

Luiza only took this job
because she knew her son

and other children in Brazil
would benefit from her fight.

That's a little vague.
My job benefits people.

Including when you spent
one year sailing without Ian?

Your Honor, this is
a conciliatory hearing.

I ask you to schedule
a new hearing.

Very well.

The judgment hearing
is scheduled for next week

as a gesture of goodwill.

Please, warn your client
she won't have another chance.

Luiza, I'm going to the airport
to get a flight to Cari.

I'll meet you there. Kisses.

I know how it is.

The gringos are taking
everything now.

But a lot of smartass Brazilians
are making profit.

-Like you, for example.
-You, too, if you come with us.

You get 5%.

We need 45 pounds.

No way.

Why not?

He won't let it build up.
For safety.

Who is he?

The owner of every mine
in the Cari Reserve.

C'mon, illegal mines
have no owners.

This one does.

Where do I know you from?

I look ordinary.

Ordinary?

Not at all.

What's the most
you can get us?

I'll look around
and tell you.

-You do that.
-Hurry, the gringo is anxious.

I heard your wife
is unpredictable.

She's not my wife.

Call her over
to make this shine.

-She's feisty.
-I bet she is.

Bring her here, c'mon.

I'll be here waiting.

It will have hit by then.

-Stay here.
-Okay.

I heard you came with my man.
Stay away from Ícaro!

You bitch! You slut!

Who do you think you are?
Want to fight?

What's up? What's up?

Be cool!

I don't want any mess
In my area.

Let me go, Jussara!

I get it. You love Luiza!

Don't say that.

I would've gone
to rescue you.

Congratulations
on the injunction.

It only gives us a few days.

Where's the informer?

Check this out.

GET OUT OF THE RESERVE NOW

He's alive.

Miguel bought part
of the reserve allotment.

-He can do that?
-It's all been sold. All of it.

Your intuition was right
from the beginning.

He's not the philanthropic
businessman he claims to be.

What's wrong?

You saw Amir, right?

Yes.

He helped me find out
about the reserve allotment.

We had a fight
before my trip.

Why?

Do you think
I need to get treated?

What do you mean, Nat?

I can't say goodbye.

I hold on to the grief.

I think that, when I hold on
to the grief,

I hold on to Leticia,
you know?

Nat, that's not
how it works.

It's a different process
for each person.

Respect yours.

I'm angry at him.

I can't look at him
the same way.

I guess
this is how love ends.

Listen.

I stay away
and defend myself from you

but then I give in

I pretend,
I say things that aren't me

but then I deny them

but the truth is
that I'm crazy about you

and I'm scared to think
of losing you

I need to accept
it's not possible

to separate our lives

and in this insanity
of saying I don't want you

I'll deny what's visible,
I'll cover the evidence

but why
should I keep pretending

if I can't fool my heart?

I know that I love you

enough with the lies

with denying my desires

I want you
more than anything

I need your kissing

I surrender my life

for you to do whatever you want
with me

I just want
to hear you say yes

tell me it's true

that you miss me

that you still want to live

for me

Well done, everyone.
Congratulations.

Well done. Well done.

-All right with the footage?
-Yes, Dotcom backed it up.

-The footage is unbelievable.
-I know.

I'm going to São Paulo
to broadcast this.

The story will be a hit.
The injunction will hold, right?

It's a turning point.

-Damn, I lost track of Luiza.
-Try again.

-No signal.
-She can handle herself.

-She lost her son's hearing.
-She said it was Thursday.

So she'll come back today.
It's okay.

-Bye, guys.
-Bye.

I'm going after Otávio's widow.
Maybe she remembers something.

-Want company?
-I'll go alone.

Maybe she'll open up more.

-What's wrong?
-We have a thing today.

-You didn't give up yet?
-C'mon.

Do I deserve this?

Damn...

I know who asked
for the injunction.

She was with a former client
of mine.

But I can easily
take it down.

I know who it was, too, Olga.

What does that woman
know now?

She's messing things up.

What matters is
what I know now.

You have a detective
after the girls.

Get someone to spy
on the triangle.

Natalie, Verônica and Amir.

Amir?

We can explode Aruana
from the inside.

-Who is it?
-It's me, Rosa.

-I'm sorry for insisting.
-Hi, Rosa. Come in.

Come on in.
Can you hold on a minute?

Did you know
I was looking for you?

No.

Do you want some water?

I owe you an apology.

Why?

Otávio only used this
to talk to his source.

It was a rule.

Protecting the source
was the most important thing.

So Otávio's source
is our informer.

I know.

Why didn't you give me this
before?

I didn't trust you.

What changed now?

It's been 2 months
since my husband was found dead.

Every day,
when he was alive,

he talked about his love
for the forest.

I'm sure that is why
he got into this.

Did you hear
about the injunction?

I only want justice.

I hope the phone helps.

-Dotcom, can you enlarge...?
-Wait. It's Verônica.

Hi, Verônica.

If it's about Luiza,
still nothing.

-Dotcom, get this number.
-Hold on.

Give me a pen.

-Go on.
-9755232743.

Whoever owns this line
is our informer.

Find out and call me.

Is there any meat?

I got some fish yesterday.
We can make a chowder.

That's true.

WHERE ARE YOU?
I'M WORRIED.

I POSTPONED THE HEARING.

IT WOULD'VE BEEN EASIER
IF YOU HAD SHOWN UP.

Jesus Christ!

FALCÃO,
LET EVERYONE KNOW I'M OKAY

Are you sitting down?

-I'm here.
-Hey!

I'm hypertensive.

-Luiza texted.
-So?

-She's okay.
-Thank God!

-Whose line is it?
-It belongs to a dead person.

Karen Kiriakos.

-Miguel Kiriakos's daughter.
-Miguel's daughter.

Clara, just so you know,
I don't know what we're doing.

Just give the highest bid
on the girl.

Why am I listening
to an intern?

Karen was responsible
for a philanthropic fund.

She helped children in need
in the North.

Most of them girls.

The phone is registered
under this fund.

It's a business line.

And this is Gabi,
her beautiful daughter.

How did she die?

From a very aggressive
cancer.

From what I've read,
she was really loved.

Completely different
from her father.

She didn't get along
with Miguel.

Crazy only attracts crazy.

Otávio called this number twice
before he died.

I need to know
who's using this line now.

Any idea?

Can you track the address
registered in this line?

I can track it.
I just need some time.

-As soon as possible.
-Okay.

Where are André and Clara?

It's real.

Yes.

A boat of pedophiles.

Let's go, Clara. Go.

-It's over there. Let's go.
-Let's go.

I've never seen
so few products.

The girls aren't coming
anymore.

Why not?

There's a new mine
being explored in the reserve.

Is it big?

They say it's bigger
than Serra Pelada.

It's El Dorado.

Come on, Joyce!

I'll go over there.

I'll wait here.

Joyce, 14 years old.

-40.
-100.

-130.
-160.

171.

300.

Sold for 300.

Hi.

Hi.

Sit here.

I'm going out.

We haven't seen each other
in a long time.

Yeah...

And we really miss each other,
right?

I'm sorry.

We need to talk, Nat.

I know.

I know what it's about
and how it will end.

No.

You don't know everything.

I need to show you
something.

There.

Now you can start over.

When you have time,
I have more to tell you.

My mind is in the natives.

It wouldn't be fair
to talk about this now.

-Fair to the natives?
-No, Amir.

It's unfair to our story.

I did it to help, Nat.

This is sensationalist.

He wouldn't like
to be portrayed like this.

Heavy stuff.

Nat, can I talk to you?

-Can you excuse us?
-Of course.

Alan.

-Take this part out.
-Okay.

I...

I'm proud of you.

Say it, Sheik.

You didn't come here
to praise me.

I don't want improvisations
we didn't agree on today, okay?

Have we agreed
on improvisations?

Nat.

Okay.

Miguel will be on the show.

What?

Didn't he save you
with his chopper?

With this and dead natives,
you can talk about ecology.

You don't know
what you're asking me.

Demanding. Higher orders.

Or we'll show a taped show
today.

-Okay.
-Okay.

C'mon, João...

NO SIGNAL

Game over! Game over!

Easy!

Where's the goddamn gold?

Where's the gold?

Why are you looking at me?

Hurry! Do you want to die?

C'mon, goddammit!

Let's go, man, let's go.

-Gordo.
-What?

He's going to be happy
when he sees this much gold.

Maybe there'll be
some for us.

Definitely.
It's the best part.

Let's get out of here
before someone comes.

Let's go.

Put your shirt on.
You're sweaty.

-You'll get the car wet.
-What the hell...

-Will your friend take long?
-No, no. She's coming.

Great.

-Let's go.
-Let's go.

What are you doing here?

You helped me, right?
Now I'm helping you.

No.

You don't have to do this.

We'll take care of you,
get you out of here,

take you to your parents.

You don't know
who my parents are.

Who do you think you are?

Look at me.

Look at you.

How do you think
I buy my makeup?

My clothes? My burgers?

I'm sorry.

-I only wanted to help...
-You want to help?

Put credit on my phone.

POINTS OF VIEW

This is footage
of the Cari Reserve

in the state of Amazonas,

where, unfortunately,
these conflicts are common.

There has been fighting
between miners

and those who have lived on
and preserved the land.

Our native people.

Today I'm here with the owner
of KM Mining Company,

a pioneer in metal exploration
in the area and a great...

Cut to camera 2.

Welcome to "Points of View",
Miguel Kiriakos.

Thank you for inviting me.

Miguel, you were there
with me.

How do we stop the natives
from being killed?

How should the State act?

First, I'd like to say
to the viewers

that I had the privilege of seeing
this woman's warrior side.

-What an honor.
-Thank you.

But what would you say
to the native people,

who not only constantly live
with threats,

but also have the river
contaminated by mercury?

It's a sad reality.

But you saw it.

The illegal prospecting
controls the area.

It's a fight for territory.

While prospecting
isn't legalized in the reserve,

this war will go on.

But shouldn't the State
preserve the reserve?

The reserve
will be preserved.

It is estimated
that 80% of the vegetation

will remain intact.

Even after the regulation
of the mining activity.

And the natives
can count on our protection.

But we know
it's not like that, Miguel.

It's irresponsible
to mention this percentage.

Mining results
not only in deforestation,

but in an inestimable loss
of biodiversity,

which has an economic value
greater than gold.

We can always reforest
somewhere else.

According to studies,

we're talking about
2,500 species of trees,

30,000 species of plants,

billions of years
of evolution and intelligence.

The bioeconomy will profit
from preservation.

So I ask you.

Why destroy all this,
Miguel?

For gold?

The safety of the international
financial system

depends on gold.

That's not true.

We know that gold
only has value,

because we humans
decided to invent it.

As salt once had its value.

But at least salt
was useful.

We can also invent
that other things have value.

To show everyone that I'm not
all talk and no action,

I'll stop wearing gold,
starting today.

Because my wealth
is of another kind.

I love you, Natalie!

Now even Paris Hilton
will stop wearing earrings.

I'm glad you're here!

You're not activists.
You're amateurs.

Irresponsible amateurs.

It's my fault.
I insisted on taking André.

No, I wanted to go.

You can create your own NGO,
but not here.

The rules here
exist for a reason.

Both of you risked
our entire action.

Even Luiza said no.

Can I have some good news?

The phone line is registered
in Cari.

Karen Kiriakos Daycare.

It's one of the places linked
to her philanthropic fund.

-Does the daycare still function?
-With KM's money.

Make an appointment.

-When?
-Now. You're coming with me.

The gold sales have dropped.

The association blames me.
They want me off the board.

What now, Ms. Olga?

Remind me. Why did I go
on that crappy show?

So that the native massacre
wouldn't draw more attention.

Do you have any idea
how my life has been?

Do you know the life
of a prospector

who's born and dies
digging holes?

To have a son
who does the same thing?

Do you know how it is
having your father buried alive?

You wouldn't know.

You were born rich
and educated.

Have you ever gone hungry,
princess?

This princess
knows how to play.

I can accept many things
in your story, Miguel.

But do you know
what you're feeling now?

Your vanity is wounded.

Because an intelligent woman
like Natalie

made you come down
a few steps.

It's hard losing to a woman.

YOU WERE GREAT TODAY!
IT'S GONE VIRAL!

This is Karen Kiriakos,
Miguel's daughter.

This is Felipe Braga.
He's KM's institutional director.

Thank you for seeing us.

It's nothing.
Thank you for coming.

This boy here
is Rosa's and Otávio's son.

-Let's go?
-Let's go.

Karen started the school.

She oversaw the construction,
selected the teachers,

the pedagogical method...

Headmaster, why Cari?

Her dad used to bring her here
since she was little.

She grew up here.

She saw the ore extraction.

Then they had a falling out.

-And KM sponsors the school?
-Yes.

I pray every day
for that to keep going.

Mr. Miguel wanted
to stop funding the school.

If this happens,
we'll close.

Your story came
at a good time.

-What's the newspaper website?
-I'll write it down for you.

Karen deserves
to be recognized.

More than anyone.

Ligia, one last thing.

I've been getting calls
from this number.

I haven't seen this number
in a long time.

But you recognize it?

It's one of our old lines.

But this number was lost.

I asked Mr. Felipe
to cancel it.

Felipe from the picture
you showed me?

He became our contact at KM
after Ms. Karen passed away.

He handles
our school's budget.

He's our angel.

Nat, I can't explain it now.

It seems Felipe Braga
is our informer.

Felipe Braga.
Miguel's right arm.

That's right.
We're not sure yet.

I told you I met him
when I went to the plant.

He had a thing going with...

Karen Kiriakos.
How do you know?

He has called me many times.
It's time to pay him a visit.

Text me his address.

BODY FOUND ON ROAD BR-256

IN THE CAR
OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST.

I told you I knew her.

You clown.

Where is he?

Explain to Oscar
why I'm the best partner.

He knows.

You'll be greatly rewarded.

I hope so!

Miguel won't be happy
to know he was robbed.

Maybe he'll learn his lesson
about not sharing.

-Only two?
-No, there's one more.

-How much is in here?
-Forty each.

Let me see.

Who's going to open
this one?

Do you have a key?

It's unacceptable, man.

She's only 14
and she's older than us.

It's awful.

I'm a peaceful guy,
but sometimes I just want to...

That's why Verônica told me off.

It was naive of me to think
I could solve anything.

You know what you do?

Look at me.

Tell her how you got out of jail
that night.

She'll be proud of you.

I didn't get out alone.

Oh...

Who got you out?

A nightmare.

One day I'll tell you.

But it's over now.

Thanks.

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?
