And were you scared of him?

It wasn't fear. It was respect.

[fire crackling]

Because Curupira will attack those who destroy the forest

and harm its animals.

And where is he now?

No one knows.

The city grew larger, the forest grew smaller.

Ever since then, he hasn't been seen again.

But I think that he's still alive.

He's still out there.

[imitates hoots of Curupira]

[laughing]

Just wanted to say hi and check up on you.

And to tell you the party is great here at Toré Village.

I'm so proud of this community.

And of course, your daughter is loving all this.

She's already eaten so much canjica, right, Luna?

- Say hi to your dad and send him a kiss. - Hi, Dad. [kisses]

And that's it.

I wish you were here.

If you change your mind, we'll be here for hours, so...

I love you.

Environmental Police.

- [telephone ringing] - [indistinct office chatter]

Albuquerque.

[Albuquerque] Yeah, he isn't here right now,

but you can leave a message and we can take that down...

[Márcia] Eric.

It's good to see you back. How's Luna doing?

She's still sad.

[Márcia] And you?

You gotta try and stay strong for her.

What's this?

[Márcia] Some guy has been calling you.

He said he really needed to talk to you, but it was personal.

[Eric] Any updates on the investigation?

Eric, um, you might want to talk to Ivo first.

[knocking]

[Eric] Ivo?

The investigation is closed, Eric.

The team concluded the cause of the fire was unknown.

Could have been a sky lantern that had blown into the forest.

You gotta be kidding me?

It was an accident. You need to realize that and move on.

My is wife dead and we don't know who's responsible.

[Ivo] You don't have to come back yet.

You can take your time... until you feel better.

Hi, Grandma.

Oh! You're home early, dear.

[kisses]

- So, how did it go? - Same as always.

Listen, I didn't think you'd be back so early

so, if it's okay with you, I'll go on some errands now. Okay?

Then I'm going to Judite's to play cards.

Of course. No worries.

- Bye, Grandma. - Bye.

What are you doing there?

I'm sorry, Dad.

It's okay, honey. Come here, bring the box.

Come on, sweetheart. Let's sit down.

[sighs]

Oh, my God. Look at this tiny baby.

- You know who this is? - It's me.

[Eric] Here are the articles about Mom's job.

ANTHROPOLOGIST FIGHTS TO PRESERVE RIVERSIDE COMMUNITY FOLKLORE

Ah...

Your mother's dream was to make this forest a reserve one day.

You know what a reserve is?

- I don't want to look at this stuff, Dad! - Hey, Luna.

Luna, wait.

[footsteps retreating]

[sniffs]

Hello? Who is this?

I was told to call you.

Yes, I am her husband. Why?

[line ringing]

[woman on phone] Please leave a message after...

[singing indistinctly]

[Luna] Dad, why are we here?

- [Eric] I need to talk to someone, honey. - How long will it take?

[sighs]

Not long, honey. We're leaving soon.

If you change your mind, we'll be here for hours, so...

Oh, excuse me.

I love you.

[sighs deeply]

[indistinct chatter]

[Eric] Hey. Hey! Wait, wait, hold on a minute.

What are you doing?

I have to get him out of here.

The only way it leaves is in an Environmental Police vehicle.

This is a river dolphin?

Do any of you know how it got...

Márcia?

[banging]

Is Inês there?

[bubbling]

Inês?

[breathing heavily]

I couldn't get him. I tried getting him out of there into the ocean

but the officer showed up and I didn't know what to do!

[Inês] Calm down. Calm down.

You know what to do.

Can you tell us exactly how a river dolphin...

Albuquerque?

[reporter] Please, we have questions.

Okay. Good afternoon.

[reporter] Any information about what happened?

We need to get an autopsy.

We couldn't even get a car, I don't think an autopsy is happening.

We can use my car.

[upbeat batuque music playing]

[car horn honks]

[reporter] Rio de Janeiro woke up to something strange this morning.

A pink river dolphin on the sands of Flamengo Beach.

Normally local to the rivers in the northern part of the country,

this one was found dead here.

Environmental Police are investigating the case.

More details to come later.

[boy] Dude, you won't believe this.

I have something very serious to tell you. Hey, wake up!

[man groans]

[grunts]

Hmm...

I brought some for you. Here.

Give it back to me.

Okay. What do you need from me now?

Eric. Ivo's calling us. Go ahead, Ivo.

[Ivo] Is Eric with you?

Yeah, why?

[Ivo] Let him handle the dolphin case.

We got a call from Toré Village. I think it's best you go without him.

I'm on it now.

Can you take the dolphin to the autopsy? I'm going to Toré Village.

Wait, what?

You heard Ivo. I don't want to get in trouble, Eric.

Ivo can get fucked.

You have a dead dolphin in your car...

- Hey, buddy! How much for the ice? - Ten bucks.

TORÉ VILLAGE

Gabi, don't look at me like that. It's a party, that's all.

It's not just a party. This is my work, the people I see every day

and I really want you to meet them.

[Eric] Babe, I just... I've got so much work.

- [Luna] Dad. - [Eric] Hi, honey.

Have you seen my necklace?

I... [gasps]

- Oh, no, look at you. - [laughs]

I told you to brush your teeth, or else the bugs would eat them!

- Now I need to pull them all out. - [giggling] No, no!

[Eric] They're rotten. Let's pull them out.

[Gabriela] Honey, come on. Come on. Let your dad work.

[Eric] Gabi?

Your phone, honey.

[Eric] "Your phone, honey."

[Márcia] What?

[Eric] That was the last thing I said to her.

[people talking indistinctly]

[Eric] So, what do you think?

Lack of oxygen? A change of temperature in the water.

Or some contamination.

Time to do our job.

[man] We're here because the construction company made us an offer

that we simply can not refuse.

We can take the money they give us

and buy houses somewhere we can live our lives happier. Huh?

But fishing is all I know, João. How am I going to provide for my family?

Tell me this, Pedro, how are we supposed to fish with what's happened?

Calm down, we still don't know what's wrong.

We shouldn't rush into something.

Guys, let's get real, for Christ's sake!

The company is paying us a settlement for land that is already theirs!

My father lived here before any of this existed.

And now because of some piece of paper this land isn't mine?

It's people like you that caused all this.

Oh, God.

You're the reason this is happening. This... this is all a bad omen.

[João] Guys, for God's sake. This is crazy. It's folklore.

And folklore won't provide for anyone...

It was thanks to this folklore that I was able to provide for you...

Uh-huh.

...for our whole lives.

[João] Right.

Imagine if your mother...

- Don't talk about my mother! - [woman mediates]

It would break her heart if she saw

the kind of man you've become.

[João] Go on, get outta here!

This has become a pain in the ass for everyone!

[João] Is it my fault? All of this?

Mr. Ciço?

- Yes? - Do you remember me?

I'm Gabriela's husband.

I'm very sorry.

Your wife was very important to us.

She liked this place a lot.

She was the only one who cared about our people.

Who tried to preserve our traditions, our forest.

What was that you were saying about this being a bad omen?

Don't worry about it.

He's right, I'm just a crazy old man.

First Gaby dies in a fire, nobody knows how it started,

then all the fish die, the community has nothing to live off.

They have no choice but to leave.

It's very convenient for this construction company.

Are you doing this for the community or for Gabriela?

For them both. It means a lot to me.

[engine revs]

[Márcia] Drop me off at the lab.

Hey! Hey, excuse me.

Excuse me. I brought an animal for an autopsy.

I'm sorry, but the veterinary expert went home.

[Eric] What do you mean?

She left and I am on my way out. Sorry, hon.

No, wait! I have a dolphin in the back of my car.

Tonight's the soccer game, quarterfinals. I gotta go. Come on, babe.

- [Eric] Gotta be kidding me? - Sorry!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Hey! Can I help you?

Hey, boss! What's up? No... no, I'm fine.

I thought you might want to know there's something dripping down there.

See. And it smells bad too.

Yeah, I know. I know.

All right.

[truck engine starts]

[truck approaches]

[water dripping]

[woman] Hi, honey. How are you?

Just got back from Toré Village.

She really cared about that place.

What are you doing here?

[scoffs] It's better if you don't tell anyone about me.

They might think you're lying to them.

Not everybody can see things for what they are in reality.

[door opens]

[Eric] Luna.

[grunts]

- Luna? - Hi, Dad.

- You're awake? - I just got up to get a cookie.

- You got a cookie? - Yeah.

A cookie, huh?

Now you're under arrest for stealing cookies in the middle of the night.

You are gonna go to bed. Stealing cookies...

- Dad! - Come on.

- [Eric] Want me to read a story? - [Luna] Yeah.

Okay.

Not that one. Read this one.

BRAZILIAN FOLKLORE

Okay, get under the blanket.

- [Eric] What do you want me to read? - [Luna] Saci.

[Eric] Saci. Let me find one about Saci.

Page 55.

"Well, Saci was a very naughty boy."

"Out of a whirlwind he came,

hopping on one leg, wearing a red cap."

"He liked to play pranks on everyone."

"He would put knots in rags and even braid horse's hair..."

[Eric] Don't tell me you believe in this.

[Gabriela] If they say it's real, then it's real.

Oh, my God...

[laughing] How did I marry such a skeptic?

- I'm not not skeptical. - Uh-huh. Sure.

- I believe in many things. - Sure.

Tell me one.

- I believe in you. I believe in Luna. - Mmm.

I believe in us.
