FROM JULIETA’S BACK.
514
00:36:51,918 --> 00:36:54,212
HE PLACES THE DART
IN HIS BLOWPIPE,
515
00:36:54,254 --> 00:36:56,923
(GENTLE MUSIC)
516
00:37:04,723 --> 00:37:05,557
AND BLOWS.
517
00:37:09,144 --> 00:37:10,937
HIS NEED FOR JULIETA IS OVER.
518
00:37:14,524 --> 00:37:16,526
POISON DART FROGS ARE VITAL
519
00:37:16,568 --> 00:37:18,528
TO THE EPEERARA’S
TRADITIONAL HUNTING.
520
00:37:19,446 --> 00:37:22,366
THEY KNOW THE FROGS ARE
RARE, AND MUST BE PROTECTED.
521
00:37:23,283 --> 00:37:26,328
HE GENTLY RELEASES JULIETA
BACK INTO THE FOREST,
522
00:37:33,752 --> 00:37:35,420
JUST AS THE HOWLER MONKEYS
523
00:37:35,462 --> 00:37:38,048
BEGIN TO SIGNAL THE END
OF DAY THREE.
524
00:37:38,089 --> 00:37:39,382

(ANIMALS VOCALIZING)
531
00:38:12,791 --> 00:38:15,335
THE MORNING FOREST
IS FULL OF NOISE.

(ANIMALS VOCALIZING)
533
00:38:24,886 --> 00:38:28,723
JULIETA IS NOW YARDS
AWAY FROM ROMEO
534
00:38:28,765 --> 00:38:31,184
BUT FOR HER THE FOREST
IS EERILY QUIET.
535
00:38:31,226 --> 00:38:34,104
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
536
00:38:36,940 --> 00:38:41,862
IT’S THE FOURTH DAY OF HER
JOURNEY AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT.
537
00:38:42,570 --> 00:38:45,198
SHE WILL LAY HER EGGS
IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS,
538
00:38:46,324 --> 00:38:48,076
WHETHER SHE FINDS ROMEO OR NOT.
539

(SOMBER MUSIC)
540
00:38:50,703 --> 00:38:53,664
WITHOUT HIS CALL
JULIETA IS LOST.

(SOMBER MUSIC)
542
00:39:00,004 --> 00:39:03,299
IF SHE LAYS HER EGGS
HERE, THE FOREST
543
00:39:03,341 --> 00:39:07,053
AND ITS COUNTLESS HUNGRY
MOUTHS WILL CONSUME THEM.
544
00:39:07,095 --> 00:39:09,764
(SOMBER MUSIC)
545
00:39:12,058 --> 00:39:14,352

(GENTLE MUSIC)
547
00:39:16,729 --> 00:39:19,857
SHE WON’T LET THE FOREST
CLAIM HER PRECIOUS EGGS.
548
00:39:26,406 --> 00:39:28,491
THIS TIME IT’S AN EASIER PATH
549

(GENTLE MUSIC)
550
00:39:31,452 --> 00:39:35,957
AND, BEFORE SHE KNOWS IT, SHE’S
BACK IN FAMILIAR TERRITORY.
551
00:39:39,752 --> 00:39:41,754
THE RIVER IS NOW
A WELCOME SIGHT.

(FROG VOCALIZING)
553
00:39:45,091 --> 00:39:50,096
WITH IT, A WELCOME SOUND,

(FROG VOCALIZING)

(GENTLE MUSIC)
560
00:40:14,454 --> 00:40:17,248
ROMEO LEADS JULIETA
THROUGH HIS TERRITORY.
561
00:40:19,834 --> 00:40:22,045
AT FIRST SHE’S HESITANT.
562
00:40:22,086 --> 00:40:24,755
(GENTLE MUSIC)
563
00:40:30,094 --> 00:40:31,637
AT LAST SHE FOLLOWS.
564
00:40:33,306 --> 00:40:35,809
THE DOWNPOUR FILLS
THE GROUND WITH POOLS.
565
00:40:38,978 --> 00:40:41,814
ROMEO ENCOURAGES HER
TO CHOOSE ONE WET LEAF
566
00:40:41,856 --> 00:40:43,775
ON WHICH TO LAY HER EGGS.
567

(GENTLE MUSIC)
568
00:40:49,906 --> 00:40:52,575
BUT JULIETA WON’T SETTLE
FOR JUST ANY OLD LEAF.

(GENTLE MUSIC)
570
00:40:56,829 --> 00:40:58,873
SHE’S LOOKING FOR THE BEST,
571
00:40:58,915 --> 00:41:00,708
ONE CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE POOLS
572
00:41:00,750 --> 00:41:03,503
AND DAMP ENOUGH TO KEEP
THE EGGS FROM DRYING OUT,
573
00:41:04,462 --> 00:41:08,508
BUT SHELTERED FROM
PREDATORS, RAIN AND FLOODING.
574
00:41:10,969 --> 00:41:13,430
ROMEO WAITS IN THE
WINGS AS JULIETA LAYS.
575
00:41:20,895 --> 00:41:23,856
A PERFECT CLUTCH
OF A DOZEN EGGS.

(GENTLE MUSIC)
577
00:41:26,693 --> 00:41:29,613
ROMEO MOVES IN IMMEDIATELY
TO FERTILIZE THEM.
578
00:41:35,118 --> 00:41:37,579
JULIETA HEADS OFF
BACK INTO THE FOREST.
579
00:41:42,709 --> 00:41:44,419
HE WILL NEVER SEE HER AGAIN.
580
00:41:48,881 --> 00:41:50,424

BUT ROMEO’S IS ONLY
JUST BEGINNING.

00:42:02,103 --> 00:42:04,856
FOR THE NEXT THREE MONTHS
HE WILL PROTECT THIS BROOD
584

WHO, AT SEVEN YEARS OLD
HAS LAID HER LAST EGGS.

603
00:43:18,096 --> 00:43:20,599

REPLENISHING THE ECOSYSTEM
THAT NOURISHED HER IN LIFE.
605
00:43:29,565 --> 00:43:33,611
BUT IN ONE POOL, SO CAREFULLY
WATCHED OVER BY ROMEO,
606
00:43:33,653 --> 00:43:35,321
HER LEGACY CONTINUES.
607
