My friend... Let me tell you something...

This mangrove is very dangerous.

I remember, when my father, whose I hope is resting in peace, in the embrace of God...

Brought me out here to catch crab.

We filled many bags with crabs... without even walking...

You told me that.

There were also lots of fishes.

There were so many different species of crabs that you wouldn't even dream of...

It was a banquet! You were able to hunt birds, that with its wings opened measured 2 meters...

- Yep... - And I'll tell you more...

When the tide was high, several dangerous animals appeared.

You have to beat in the water with sticks to scare them all away.

There were species of eels as big as logs...

And other bastards species, that are black, and you can't see the fucker in the mud!

Did you know that a bite of some of this fishes could easily take your finger off?

- I know... - It's the truth...

Yep...

It's strange how things change...

Today there is barely something alive here in this mangrove...

If you want to catch something here today... Just being crazy... being nuts, such as we both!

You've said that up above, in the fishpond there is still something...

Yep... If there is something yet... It's there for sure.

MUD ZOMBIES

MUD ZOMBIES

Rachel, there's something that I've been meaning to tell you, for a long time...

The only nice thing about coming to this shithole is seeing you, brunet...

Don't you ever lay your hands on my ass... Never, ever again!

Gee, you're going to have to wash it again... What a pity, huh...

Do you think that... I can still smell your perfume here?

It's my mother's.

Where is your father? Is he around here?

He is inside.

But she's really so fucking hot...

Hello! So... Where is my crab bag, old man?

It's not here yet, no...

For fuck's sake! I'll have to wait...

At least you have this nice barrel of rum here...

Batista must have gone until the Tapuia to find something.

It's getting harder and harder to find crabs in this mangrove.

But as I'm paying him so much, I'm sure he's going to bring a bag filled with crabs for me.

Because money, old man... Money is even harder to find then this crabs of yours...

Rachel... Oh, Rachel...

Rachel!

Hey, dad.

You go check on your mom.

Are you feeling well, mom?

Rachel... I just had other nightmare.

Do you want to tell me about it?

No, my daughter... It was so ugly... That it even scares me to tell you.

Drink some water... It will calm you down...

I can't see anything while I'm awake. And I fear what I see when I'm asleep.

Don't talk like that, mom... If you pray before sleeping, you'll scare the nightmares away.

I pray all the time, my daughter... Constantly.

Hey... This stew is going to be delicious.

Hmmm, I was so lucky to have found such a big bird...

And so? Where are the oysters that you were supposed to bring?

This mangrove doesn't have anything anymore.

Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah? There isn't anything? There isn't anything? Take a look inside. What's this?

Take a good look at this, my man. What's this that I have here?

This is the bird that I've killed. If I haven't killed it, we wouldn't have anything to eat.

I'm going to tell you something, old friend...

I'm very well trained to walk in this mangrove.

I've already crossed it, from side to side.

I'm able to run in the mud, faster than anyone else.

There is no crab able to flee from me, no sir.

The reason is that I know where to put my feet, old friend.

If you keep on talking like that, we aren't going to catch any fish at all.

This is truth...

Did I ever told you about the Sumidouro?

Yep, you've told it alright.

That's a terrible place.

That's way you shouldn't step on the mud where there is no trees.

That place doesn't have a bottom.

This is way the trees have fallen. It's roots doesn't have a place to grab on to.

Some of them sunk entirely.

If you step in the Sumidouro, you are gone forever.

I knew lots of people that are sunk on that place.

I think that is way they say... That this mangrove is haunted...

What a fuck is that over there?

There is something big here!

Oh, Saint Peter, how nice! Our lunch is going to be huge today!

It's really big!

I knew it! How nice! My friend, if there is fish, sooner or later they'll appear!

- Fucking shit! - Fucking hell! It's gone!

What a fuck is that, my man?

Wait, wait! I think it's an enormous eel fish!

- Of, if it's a eel, I'm going to cut the line! - Take it easy, take it easy. Could be a Robalo fish!

And also, if it is a eel, what's the problem? His meat is not that bad...

- Do you think so, my man? - Take it easy. I'm helping you. Wait a minute.

Look here... Together. Let's go on the three.

One, two, three. And pull it!

What's that man!? What a fuck is that!? What a hell did you do?

I was catching crabs, and I felt right on the top of the oysters...

- I was on the Tapuia. - And did you manage to find crabs on the Tapuia?

I manage to get a bag full of them, for Mr. Antony.

And did you leave it on the rocks? Or right on the side of the channel?

I left all the animals, right by the channel.

I'm going to warn his family.

You should be ashamed of yourself! You wanna go there to see that hottie!

You are going to stay here and take good care of him, and I'm going to see about that crab...

No, I'm warning you. Don't go to the Tapuia. That place is haunted. I saw it by myself.

You saw what!?

I saw a corpse walking...

Oh my man, you are suffering alright...

And you, Luis, if I get back and he's dead, I'm beating the shit out of you!

You are going to be just fine... My mother used to do this to me when I was a young boy.

Holy shit!

Where's that boy... He should have arrived by now.

Yep, my man... The tide is coming up. He can't take much longer...

Oh, you know... He should be in some bar... You know... Drunkens are all fucked up...

Rachel!

Oh Rachel, go and fetch your brother.

Batista!

Batista!

Batista!

Batista!

Batista!

Oh, no! Oh, no!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Fucking shit!

Now, I'm buried in deep shit!

I don't know where you can find the appetite to eat that fucking trash!

- You eat crab! - Of course I don't! I just sell it!

This mangrove is a river of shit! Thank God there are still people that ate what came out from there.

50 years living by the mud...

I can testify that there were other times... You could catch a crab in our house's door.

We've never had money to spare... But our table had plenty of food.

But today the mangrove is a garbage disposal... All that's worthless is thrown here.

Several misfortunes took place in my life. But my childhood was a happy one.

Hey old man! Old man!

Fucking, old man!

Shit! Fucking, old man! You are going to put me in trouble! Breath man! Oh, what a fuck!

I saw! I saw the oyster!

Wait a minute, fucker! I'm going to get it!

Wait, it wasn't my fault!

Why'd hell would you do something like that to my brother?

Let me explain.

Wait.

Wait, wait, wait.

My brother never hurt anybody.

Wait, wait!

- You son of a bitch! - No, no!

Now, you're going to pay for what you did to my brother.

- What a fuck is that? - Son of a bitch!

- What a fuck is that? - Son of a bitch!

Fast! Come, my friend.

Fast, swim! Catch my hand!

Fast, gimme your hand, swim!

Fucking hell!

Help! Somebody help me!

They are surrounding the shack...

I think that the noise attracted their attention.

I think that I'm having a nightmare.

- Sorry for hitting you. - Ok, there is no problem...

You are going to be just fine... My mother used to do this to me when I was a young boy.

If you touch me with that shit, I'm going to hit you again... And harder than before.

Alright then...

May I?

- Thank you... - I think that this might work as well.

I need to get away from here.

I think that we should stay here and wait for the dawn...

But my mom is home alone, there is nobody to look after her.

If we get out of here now, we are never going to make it to your house.

If we stay here, silently, they are not going to try to come inside...

But what's happening out there?

I don't know.

But for a long time now, seems like everything is rotten.

How's that?

This shack... My brother... The mangrove... The water...

Everything seems to be rot.

For me, the only thing that remains beautiful is you.

Me?

When I go to the mangrove, I pass right by your house...

And then I see you...

Rachel, there's something that I've been meaning to tell you, for a long time...

Luis, Luis, Luis!

Fast!

- Oh, gee... That's disgusting - Oh, it wasn't me! It was my brother.

They are coming in! They are coming in!

Faster!

Faster!

Is everything alright with you?

Yep... Alright. It's just my blood pressure. It's a little low right now.

Luis?

How nice that you woke up...

Rachel, there's something that I've been meaning to tell you...

You've saved me.

Help! Leave me alone! Get out of here! Fucking hell!

I think that we may go now...

Rachel, are you felling alright?

I... I'm felling something strange...

Rachel, Rachel, Rachel...

Hmmm... This kind of fish soup... Without pepper is not that good, no...

Now, yeah... It's just as my late husband, may he rest in peace, loved to eat!

Ms. Benedita, Ms. Benedita, for the love of God, help me, Ms. Benedita.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, what's that, my son?

I didn't knew what to do... So I remember that you lived here and helped so many...

- Heal her, Ms. Benedita, for the love of god! - Put her in the bed, my son, put her there.

My god...

I just don't know what to do, Ms. Benedita.

Believe in God. Jesus' blood has powers.

My God, what was that my son?

She was bitten by a corpse.

Corpses don't bite anybody, Luis.

I swear, Ms. Benedita. The mangrove is full of walking corpses.

An ugly fucker has bitten her arm!

I think that, if you don't do something fast, she will become one of them.

I know what you are talking about...

I've seen them already... But look my son, they are not corpses...

What's happening, Ms. Benedita?

This mangrove, Luis, is dead...

It already started to rotten...

They are just like the worms...

...that transform our bodies in fertilizers, that afterwards become plants...

While our souls...

go rest beside our lord...

I don't understand...

We are in a place that is already dead. It's not possible to remain alive here.

Is that going to heal her?

No, it won't, my son... It's just going to ease her arm's pain...

There must be a way, Ms. Benedita... Some kind of medicine...

There is no medicine to heal her, my son.

No, Ms. Benedita, there must be a way!

It's not possible...

In this life, everybody dies, Luis.

We have to get used to it...

No! There must be a way.

She can't die. She's too young, Ms. Benedita.

Yeah... She's too young, indeed.

And very pretty. Is going to be a pity.

We need to try something else!

Did you already tried a burning lemon?

I've tried with her brother... But it didn't work...

It's a pity, it's a miraculous medicine!

You know, my son...

When I was a little girl, my grandma told me about a people who lived here before us.

I remember that she told me about a wizard that used the poison of the globe-fish...

And that the people who drunk it's gall in the right amount...

They would appear to be dead, but woke alive afterwards.

When this wizard hated somebody, he used this poison.

The people appeared to be dead...

And its family, without even imagining anything about it, buried her beloved.

Afterwards he woke, below the ground, in its coffin.

It was very mean indeed.

There are lots of mean people in this world of ours...

Why are you telling me that history?

My grandma used to say...

...that when somebody dies and woke again...

all that what was bad in her, stays dead.

You think that could save her?

I don't know, but there is a chance...

I'm going to catch that Baiacu fish...

I think I have an old fishing net here...

It belonged to my late husband, may he rest in peace...

- Do you know how to throw a fishing net? - No...

God protect the good ones... I'm sure He'll help you.

And where do I catch that globe-fish?

In the old fishpond... If there is some fish in this mangrove, that's the right place.

It's by the curve of the channel, right by the Tapuia.

My son, take care with the Sumidouro.

Walk just where you can find trees, It's a very dangerous place.

There are lots of people whom sunk there.

Thanks, Ms. Benedita.

May God go with you my son, just by your side.

Today is a clear night, due to the full moon, go silently and walk silently in the shadows...

Go fast, because the young lady doesn't have many time left.

I'm so very grateful to God!

Are you alright?

I'm so very grateful to God to be saved by you!

What are you doing, here in the mangrove, in the middle of the night?

I'm looking for a globe-fish...

Here is the fishpond...

If there is any globe-fish in this mangrove, you'll find it here for sure...

Let's stay hidden... Waiting for him to go away...

Then we may...

You can come now...

Yep... That's an option as well...

Don't you worry my friend... If your globe-fish is here, I'll catch it.

Go... go...

I'll catch this fucking fish once and for all!

Yep, my old man... These are very harsh times...

But I think that the ending is always meant to be difficult...

You know that... Better than anyone else.

You poor man...

But for someone so young... Must be even more difficult...

Ms. Benedita, Ms. Benedita! We've managed to get the fish.

Thanks to our good lord, you've managed to find the fish.

And what a hell is that?

Oh, I've found him in the Sumidouro.

I'm very pleased to meet you. My name is Agenor dos Santos.

Hmmm, I know who you are. You are son of Mr. Alagoano.

May he rest in peace.

That's it. Mr. Alagoano. May he rest in peace.

Gimme the fish, my son.

Hmmm. How wonderful... It will work just fine.

The poison of this globe-fish is in its skin, in its liver and in its gall.

I remember that my grandma said that the best poison its from the gall...

But it must be very carefully removed, so it doesn't get rotten.

Hmmm, look at this beauty.

Green as an emerald.

It's time for your medicine, young lady.

- No! Wait! - What is it, my son?

Aren't you going to mix it with something else?

No...

My grandma never said to mix it with something. I think that it should be pure.

But the gall... Pure?

Have faith in God, my son... Faith in God.

Is she dead?

May Good take care of her soul, and bring her back for us.

She's dead...

Yep... She's dead alright.

Yep... Now we have to wait and see.

Is this smell from Taioba Soup?

Strong pepper...

Did you already told her, Luis?

What?

You know what I mean...

Did you told her?

No... I still didn't have the chance to do so.

Look here, Luis... I think that you should tell her.

Our time in this existence is very short, my soon.

When you less expected... It already come to an end.

Yep... I know...

Do you think that they are coming here?

- Hmmm, I think they are... - We must leave here soon...

- I'm just leaving after when she's awake... - And if she doesn't?

She will wake! Won't she, Ms. Benedita?

Look my son... I've never seen anyone looking like that wake, in my whole life...

But we are able to see unimaginable thing in this lives of ours...

And if she doesn't wake? Until when do you plan to stay here? We must get out from here.

- But where do you wanna go, my son? - We must go away from the mangrove.

Go down the channel until the fisherman village?

Go down the channel until the fisherman village is impossible. This is where we sunk!

What a disgrace!

Why don't you take the Jaborai trail?

- But it's too far away. - And also, it's on the other side of the channel.

It's true...

You can climb the Bica rock.

- After the rock, there are the mountains. - But you can climb the mountains.

Yep... I always wanted to know what lies behind the mountains...

The Bica rock is not so far away.

And they won't be able to climb it there.

Neither you, Ms. Benedita.

Hmmm, I'm not going away from here, Luis. I've been living here for a long time now...

And I'm not planning in going away now...

I've said that we are able to see unimaginable things in our lives...

You're very welcome, my daughter...

She's Ms. Benedita.

- And he is... - Agenor dos Santos, at your service, young lady.

It's very nice seeing you awake.

Thank you so much.

- But, were are we exactly? - It's a long history...

You've passed away... Then I brought you here, and then...

I think that the most important for you to know... Is that we are leaving.

- We've need to get away from here. - And we're going to climb the Bica Rock.

We are going to escape... We are going behind the mountains...

The mountains? I can't go to the mountains...

I have to go to my house.

If your house stays near to the mud bank, lady, forget about it.

I have to fetch my mom.

- Who is your mother, my daughter? - It's Ms. Alba.

Hmmm, I know... That blind lady...

Somebody was there? Looking after her?

No... Just my father.

Hmmm, that cheap old man, in the wheelchair...

I'm sorry to tell you this, lady... But your parents are dead.

Don't you say that...

Of course they are dead. We are the only remaining living here.

And if we don't go quickly, we are going to die as well.

My mom didn't die... I have to go and fetch her.

- But she's dead for sure! - I think she's dead as well.

Your opinion is the same as theirs?

I think so, too.

- So, I'm going alone. - No, I'm going with you...

You know what!? Stupids! If you want to die, go ahead and die!

I'm going to the Bica rock... Meanwhile you...

They arrived...

I'm going to run through the mangrove, and when they come after me, you go running to her house.

Use the trail in the woods.

That seems like a nice idea.

Thank you...

But what about you?

Take good care of the lady.

Young man... Take that along with you.

It belonged to my late husband, Anastacio, may he rest in peace...

Good luck to you all.

Hey... Want to know what else!? You're all a bunch of stupids!

Go with the help of God, my son.

May God be with you.

We've got to go...

Ms. Benedita, thank you so much.

I didn't do anything, my son. It was yourself.

I would like to be able to take you with me.

Don't you worry about it, Luis. They are unable to hurt me...

Don't you waste your time, sonny.

Ms. Benedita...

- Thank you so much. - May God go with you, my daughter.

May God be with you, my children.

Hmmm... Nice children...

Nice children indeed...

I hope they make it alright...

Yep, my old man... Now it's just me and you again...

Mom... Dad...

- I'm not seeing anything. - There is a lamplighter around...

You'll... never...

touch... her again...

Rachel...

- He was my father... - I know...

He wanted to kill me...

Nobody is going to harm you. I'll be by your side always.

- Is it a promise? - Yes. It is.

Rachel...

- It's my mom. She's in the bedroom. - So, let's go there...

- Who's there? - It's me, mom.

Rachel, my daughter... Thank God you're here.

My daughter... I heard such creepy noises.

I've called you so much... so much... And you didn't answer me...

I'm sorry, mom. It was so difficult to come back home.

I had the worst nightmare ever.

It's all gone. Now you're awaken.

I dreamt with oysters entering in my mouth. I wasn't able to breathe.

It was just a nightmare, it's all gone.

I can still fell their taste in my mouth.

Mom...

Mom...

Rachel...

Rachel...

I still haven't told you...

Rachel, don't you go away.

Rachel, I'm staying with you.

Cocksuckers!

They're gone now. Are you feeling alright?

Not so much...

Rachel, let's climb the Bica rock.

- Let's go now! - But it's just a child... A little girl.

Let's go away.

It's the rock. We're almost there.

Luis!

You can climb the rock now, Luis.

Rachel, there's something that I've been meaning to tell you, for a long time...
