A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

[deep rumbling]

[strange rumbling]

[footsteps]

[speaking in German] Easy.

Easy, stay calm.

I got in.

I got in.

And saw...

the light.

- And the darkness! - You're going to be fine.

You're going to be fine!

And the darkness!

[Joseph, in German] I could only see some spots of light...

in the darkness.

I thought it was a nightmare...

but it was a gift from the indigenous poison.

Everything is true.

Everything we have read.

Everything they told us.

In the jungle...

lies the consciousness of humankind.

And inside that consciousness...

is the all.

Darkness is the heart of the jungle,

the door to an infinite power, the perfect weapon.

A supreme race created from darkness.

Able to manipulate human consciousness.

Are you sure you can go back?

Yes.

I'm ready.

My body already changed.

I just need to find the eternals, they are the key.

[mystical music]

[Raquel] The daughter of the jungle will open your eyes to what is sacred.

When I found her, I felt that the Garden of Eden lived within her.

That her veins were roots, and she was the guardian of something sacred.

That we had to learn from her, and protect her from men.

Our superiors didn't see it that way.

They just saw another wildling child to tame.

But our lives would change forever.

I, being just a girl,

recognized that God's wisdom...

lived inside that woman born in Eden.

[inaudible dialogue]

I promised to take care of her.

[inaudible dialogue]

But now the jungle is claiming her.

[insects chattering]

Hi.

Do you have curarina?

It's a plant that produces small red fruits.

It's used to relieve colic, animal bites...

- No? - No, I'm sorry. We don't have it.

Thank you.

- Hi. This is curarina, isn't it? - [man] Yes.

[Ushe] Don't drink from that plant.

It'll harm your baby.

[cockerels clucking]

It causes premature births in pregnant women.

Sorry, I'm not pregnant.

Thank you.

[insects chirping]

[whispering] Ushe.

Ushe.

Why did you tell that woman she was pregnant?

I couldn't see anything.

Get some rest, Raquel.

[loud thrum of insects]

[metallic clang]

[Raquel, in distance] I bleed like him, I suffer like him.

I bleed like him, I suffer like him.

I bleed like him, I suffer like him.

I bleed like him, I suffer like him.

I bleed like him, I bleed like him.

I suffer like him, I bleed like him.

I suffer like him.

He died to save us all.

- From what? - From sin.

He was tortured and crucified,

to show us the true sense of mercy and forgiveness.

Thus, he opened the doors of heaven for us.

Death is a cult to men.

Life is a cult to women.

In the jungle, we celebrate the mother who gave life.

The jungle.

Women are the heirs to the gift of the jungle.

Of life.

I'll help you heal.

[Raquel] Lord, please have mercy,

I tried to be strong, to suffer like you did.

[door opens]

What are you doing?

Here, in the house of God,

you learn to stop being a wildling.

Understood?

[door slams]

[Raquel] Ushe, forgive me.

I promise nobody will ever touch you again.

[irregular heartbeat]

[Raquel]...deliver us from our enemies.

In the name of the mother, the daughter, and the jungle, amen.

Your blood flows within us and in the jungle.

We're one light, one strength.

[breathing heavily]

[call of tropical birds]

[Yua] I can hear you.

[Raquel, chanting] Fertile body, body of life, mother of all, embrace us.

Fertile body, body of life, mother of all, embrace us.

Deliver us, our lady, our goodness.

In the name of the mother, the daughter, the jungle, amen.

Praised be our goodness.

[all] Praised be the jungle.

I didn't think that fucker would be so heavy.

[slow tribal drumming]

What do we do?

I think I'll go back to my community.

Do whatever it takes for Grandpa Wilson to accept me again.

You should do the same. Go back to Bogot�.

[voice breaking] Since I got here...

I've seen some very strange things.

I thought I was going crazy, but I wasn't.

[tearful] Now I think everything makes sense.

What do you see?

Ushe.

She talks to me.

She guided me to Yaguan� after what you did to me.

You must think I'm crazy.

No.

Grandpa Wilson says you must listen to the spirits of the dead when they speak.

Let's hope.

Look.

Raquel gave me this.

Those are my parents with Ushe.

I must find who took Ushe's heart.

And whoever killed the missionary women, because I'm sure

it has something to do with my mom's death.

How did you know I was pregnant?

I can feel your baby,

his heart.

His heartbeat reflects in your eyes.

I had no idea, until you told me.

The doctor confirmed it afterwards.

Don't be afraid.

Your baby needs your courage to grow.

Nice to meet you, I'm Aura.

Ushe.

I'm writing a book about Amazonian plants.

Do you want to come to my house? I'll show you. We could have a drink.

Thanks, Ushe.

Lucho, thank you for bringing her.

Thank you.

Welcome!

I'm so glad the nuns let you come.

- Meet my husband. - Nice to meet you. Joaqu�n Poveda.

Come on in.

[70s rock music plays]

[Aura] After all this time, I've realized that it's not only plants...

Look at everything I've collected.

...or their roots,

but even animals contain elements that can cure disease.

I'm sure, Ushe, that all the answers...

are here in the Amazon.

[70s rock continues]

Not just to live better.

But to save lives.

That's why I'm writing the book.

To discover and share the miracles of the jungle.

The jungle is the consciousness of the heart.

She does not perform miracles.

Each root that comes from the earth is a vein that nurtures the others.

And connects the mother to everything.

Including us.

[Aura] This is Joaqu�n's office.

I met a group of Indians with body paint like yours.

I want to show you something.

[video plays without sound]

[mouthing] Mananuc.

[Joaqu�n] They left the jungle about... four years ago.

I was part of the group that helped them find a place to settle.

Virtually no one knows they exist.

It's a long time since I left them.

I am surprised they've interacted with whites.

[Joaqu�n] Why did you leave them?

[explosions]

[Ushe] The rubber workers came and took us to their plantations.

We were freed.

[Joaqu�n] But that happened more than 60 years ago.

[Raquel, whispers] Where were you?

[dog barking in distance]

We were looking for you all day.

The missionaries talk about you.

You never accept food.

You never get your period, you're always awake.

You know plants like nobody else.

They think you're a witch.

But I think you're a saint.

I think this is not the place for someone like me.

[Joaqu�n] No, Ushe? Why?

Just one. One.

- ["Viaje A Cenera" by Melange plays] - [Aura] Joaco!

[singing along to music]

[singing along to music]

Ushe, you don't eat, you don't sleep. But I guess you dance, right?

- [Aura] Of course she does. - Of course you do, come on.

Let's dance.

[Aura] Let's all dance.

[tense music]

He's gone.

[Helena] He can't be too far.

I'll look for him in town, you look for him in Yurum�.

Let's meet on the pier this afternoon.

- [tropical bird calling] - [strange rumbling]

[distant heartbeat]

[heartbeat gets louder]

Forgive me.

[loud thrum of insects]

Chiric A��gü.

I've looked for it for years.

Now I'll be able to finish the book.

Wait.

You must ask her for permission.

Mother Jungle, I pick the flower of the eternal souls, to share their knowledge.

Her ripple will be listened and respected.

We'll return the ground and water

and it will grow up as this one.

Have you always been like this?

[Aura] And how do you say "tree"?

- [Ushe] Nena-te. - How?

- [Ushe] Nena-te. - Nena-te.

[Aura chuckles]

And, how do you say "mother"?

- [Ushe] Ney-e - Ney-e.

[Ushe] Ney-e.

Ney-e. [chuckles]

[groans, then breathing heavily]

[groans]

[groans]

What is it?

[moaning in pain]

[rumbling]

[Aura panting and moaning]

[doctor] Joaqu�n, talk to her.

Both of them are at risk.

We will do what we can.

But given what happened with the other pregnancies,

you’ll have to make a decision soon, all right?

Very well.

[thunder rumbles]

Maybe there's something that could save the baby.

But it involves a great sacrifice.

It's the same thing that made me how I am.

What some call eternity.

Save her.

Please.

[rumbling]

[rumbling]

[Ushe chanting]

[chanting]

[door creaks]

[church bell starts striking]

You have to go right now.

[man] It's upstairs.

Check that room.

Hey, M�rquez.

Iv�n is missing.

He’s been gone for 24 hours.

I think someone took him out.

The neighbors at Agent Poveda's hotel heard a gunshot.

[dog barking in distance]

What is it you want?

Why so startled, Reynaldo?

Going on a trip or something?

I'm doing my laundry.

What happened with Agent Poveda?

Do you know where she is?

How the fuck should I know?

You're really useless.

They send you to silence that bitch, and you don't have the balls.

Need anything else?

What about Deputy Commissioner Iv�n?

Have you seen him?

Maybe he’s with M�rquez.

Or with some hookers, as usual.

If I were you, I wouldn't sleep, agent.

[Latin music playing]

[man] I was missing you already.

Is everything all right?

Are you sure?

I need your help with something.

Sure.

I can't explain right now, but my dad is in a hospital in Yurum�.

And...

Could you keep an eye on him?

Yes.

His name is Joaqu�n Poveda.

Okay, and where are you going?

Far... for now.

Thank you.

Anything?

What should we do?

Let's wait.

[loud thrum of insects]

[poignant music]

Take her away from here.

Raquel will come looking for her.

Raquel?

Ushe was always in the church.

Thank you.

Chiric A��gü.

It's the flower that carries the souls of the dead people.

[Ushe] Being of light and darkness.

Being of light and darkness.

With you, the link

between the blood

and the spiral, is born.

The power of consciousness,

the life and death of the jungle.

[heart beating]
