AINBO SPIRIT OF THE AMAZON

So, here's the plan:

I set a trap.

The most fool-proof, amazing trap ever!

Then, well, just you watch.

I told you before.

I am the best hunter in all of Candámo.

And I'm only thirteen.

One day, people will all be saying:

Ainbo of Candámo,

greatest hunter in the whole Amazon!

But, even the greatest hunter could use a little help.

That's where you come in.

You're gonna help me catch him.

Got it?

Good.

He's coming.

I forgot bait!

Hey, you stay here.

Huh?

Oh, phew!

Trap, no!

It gets worse every day.

More and more dead fish.

Our people are dying, and many more are sick.

Including me.

It's the curse.

But, you're going to get better.

Better or not, it's your turn, daughter.

I'm not ready to take your place.

Do you think I was ready to be chief?

At your age, all I could think about was girls.

And, oh well, girls.

Uh, it's true.

You are as ready as you'll ever be.

But, Candámo was different then.

Yes, I won't lie.

The forest was lush.

The river run crystal clear.

And everyone in the village was happy.

But, how can I end this curse?

I don’t know.

Maybe, we are all the curse?

Our heartlessness.

Bah! That's a bitter sick man talking.

Not the real you.

You have everything he had at thirteen.

You're strong, brave, and you have a good heart.

And you have a mission.

Save our village, Zumi.

Save Candámo.

I have fate in you, Zumi.

Now, I need one amazing shot.

Steady.

- Atok! - Ah, the mighty huntress.

If we don't hurry, we'll miss the ceremony.

We? I'm leaving now.

Then, get me down.

Zumi will be heartbroken if I'm not there.

It's true.

She thinks of you like a sister.

But, remember. You're not her sister.

You're not royalty.

You're not some great huntress.

You're just a girl, hanging upside down in her own trap.

Cut me down.

Cut yourself down.

And never say, Atok didn't try to help.

Just a girl?

I'll show him.

For her to disappear now, of all times.

- Zumi. - But...

- Enough. - The time for talk is over.

You need to be strong.

That's what the village needs now.

It's just, Ainbo is my best friend.

And I'm nervous.

Nervous?

Terrified, I'm sure.

Why wouldn't you be?

But, Ainbo knows this.

She will be here.

Okay.

I believe you.

You know Ainbo has a nickname for you?

What? The old hag?

Mama Chuni.

That's how she thinks of you.

Mama.

Ainbo's real mother would be so proud of you.

I wish she were here today too.

You are her mother now.

It's time.

Yes.

So pathetic!

Preposterous!

- Pitiful! - Pitiful!

Huh?

Hello.

Hey!

Now, I am seeing things.

Somebody? Ha ha!

I've been hanging upside down too long.

Hm, we suppose to help her?

I think it's her.

I'll be the judge of that.

I know who I am.

Who are you?

Smells like her.

- Urgh! Don't try to sniff. - Ow!

Hey, we are on your side.

No, you're not.

You're a couple of mirages.

- Eh, we're your spirit guides. - We're your spirit guides.

- My name is Dillo. - I am Vaca.

Sent to help you, help Zumi save Candámo, huh?

No, you are not real.

Fine. Insult us.

Then, you could hang upside down forever.

All right, if you're real, get me down.

Mm, nothing to it.

Mm, grab your knife. It's a pointy thing.

Oh, if I could grab the knife, would I still be hanging here?

Hm?

- We could cut her down. - But, that's no fun.

Hey, look. I'm about miss the biggest day of my life!

Hey! You're shouting.

You're right. I'm shouting at nothing.

You're not real here.

Ah-ah-ah. Don't start that again.

All right, if you are real,

get me down!

Mm, I suppose.

If you insist.

I'll do it.

What do you think you're doing?

Ow!

Now, do you think we're real?

I guess, I have to.

I guess, you do.

My spirit guides.

Wow!

Wait! I'm giving this back.

Come on, let's go.

We're already late.

- Now, waiting is over. - A moment, please.

Ainbo, I'm going to never forgive you for this.

- Hey, Spirit Guides? - Huh?

- Look at you. - Oh, no.

Oh.

Do you two mind?

And remember: A spectacular entrance!

Spectacular is our middle name.

The royal necklace has grown heavy around my old shoulders.

But now, I can pass it on to someone...

who can bear its weight,

and lead our village to a brighter future.

Yeah!

Yeah, woo!

And so, I place this necklace around Zumi's neck,

just as my father place it around my neck...

so many years ago.

- Yeah! - Yes!

Zumi!

Ainbo?

- Hey, look. - Woo!

I think you lost this.

Zumi, I brought you a gift!

It's not what I was planning, but this one is better.

Not just better, the best gift ever!

What is it?

Oh-oh-oh.

Maybe, I should ride on top of you and wave to the people, huh?

Mm.

How about I drag you in by your tail?

You all know about the great jungle spirits.

And you all know about the terrible,

awful,

really horrible curse that forced them to disappear.

And the gift is?

My gift is that I brought the spirits back.

Run?

Two of the sacred jungle spirits appeared to me.

They said: Ainbo, take us to Zumi.

Your wish is our command.

So Zumi, Your Highness,

meet your spirit guides.

Hm? There are spirits here.

What are you doing? What's happening here?

- What a move! - Quick.

Uh...

Zumi, meet your spirit guides!

Hold it.

Hello!

Spirit Guides!

Hey, you two!

Get over here!

If Ainbo is calling spirit guides, they must have appeared to her.

She wouldn't make it up.

Ainbo! Wait!

Zumi!

You can't run away.

You have to stay with your people.

- Hey, there you are. - Who?

Ay, turn around.

There you are.

We've been looking for you.

You've found me.

And you better talk fast, or you're going to be sorry.

Talk about what?

You embarrassed me in front of the entire village!

Oh, see.

Now, we can explain that.

Then, do it.

Mm, nope, we can't.

It might be bad for our health.

I thought you two were immortal.

- Almighty! - Us?

No one is immortal when it comes to Yacuruna.

Jungle Demon?

Do you know another Yacuruna, huh?

No, and I never want to.

But, there is hope.

Hope for what?

Hope to end Yacuruna's curse forever!

See, there is this root...

Deep in the jungle.

How deep?

Uh, oh, about...

Eh, we don't know.

But, this root will cure your village.

You mean, end the curse?

Is that what we mean?

Yes, sure.

Do you, at least, know what the root looks like?

Well, it's, it's kind of uh...

- Hey, where are you going? - Ah, Zumi was right.

I’m a bad friend for not being with her.

All right, we might not know what the root is.

But, we know someone who does.

She can help you.

- Who? - Motelo Mama.

The giant turtle.

Who carries the weight of the world on her shell.

I know who Motelo Mama is.

Are you saying she's real too?

Uh-huh.

Okay.

Mm.

Mm.

I need to talk to Zumi.

Mm?

You want to leave Candámo?

How can you abandon me?

And at the time when I need you most?

Zumi, I am not abandoning you.

I'm doing something to save the village.

Save your father.

Ainbo, if there is such a root,

don't you think our shamans would have found it?

They don't have spirit guides.

Oh, your spirit again.

Where are they, Ainbo?

Why aren't they helping Candámo?

They're trying to.

This is their way. By helping me find the root.

Come with me. And I'll show them to you.

I'm sorry, Ainbo.

I forbid you to leave Candámo.

- But... - Forbid.

Zumi just wants you to be safe.

That's all.

Why won't Zumi believe me?

Zumi doesn't see the world as you do.

You are a very special person.

I don't feel special.

There are important things you need to know, Ainbo.

I raised you like you were my own child.

But, it's time you know the truth about Lizeni, your mother.

- Huh? - Come.

That's all I ever wanted to know.

It was no coincidence I found you.

In that dream,

your mother told me exactly where you'd be.

Under that tree you love so much.

I promised her, I would look after you.

And you have.

You two are very much alike.

She was the most beautiful and gifted hunter in all of Candámo.

She could also see the spirit world.

What?

I promised her that I would tell you her story...

only if you were called by the spirits.

They've called me.

But, they are kind of, well, loopy.

Not loopy. Tricksters.

Some guides work like this too.

Why?

If they tell you everything and show you everything,

then what will you learn for yourself?

I'll learn how to save the village?

But, it’s you who has to save the village, not them.

I still don't understand.

You need to sleep now.

Tomorrow morning, I'll tell you more about your mother.

I love you Mama Chuni.

I love you too.

Zumi! Wake up, wake up!

Not now, Ainbo.

I'm asking for one favor.

All you have to do is come talk to Chuni.

Why?

- Mm. - Whoa!

Just listen to what she has to say.

She will tell you everything you need to about me,

and my mother, and the spirits.

Ainbo!

Please, Zumi.

Just listen to what Chuni says,

and after that, if you still forbid me to leave, fine.

All right.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Chuni, I brought Zumi to hear the story of my mother.

Mama.

Chuni?

Chuni.

Please, don't leave me.

What happened?

Get out.

This was no accident.

The curse killed her.

It's your fault!

- No! - Yes!

You and your spirits are the ones to blame.

That's crazy.

You're crazy.

My spirits are good.

You believe me, right, Zumi?

Ainbo!

If she isn't guilty, why would she run away?

Maybe, she's just afraid of you.

I know I am.

I may frighten you,

but, I keep the evil spirits out of Candámo.

I guess you were off duty last night.

I can stop the evil spirits from entering the village,

but, I can not stop the evil that has already been let in.

I don't know what you mean.

Yes, you do.

You know that Ainbo was the last one to be with Chuni.

They shared that hut since Ainbo was a baby.

A baby born of evil.

Love must have blinded Chuni until now.

- So, Ainbo is-- - My father would have told me.

He would not have let Ainbo and I become best friends.

Huarinka was blind too.

That is why a child like you leads us today.

I might be a child, but I'm not stupid.

And how dare you speak of my father that way?

You have the power to bring health and happiness back to the village,

- and make your father proud! - How?

Allow me to go after Ainbo and confront her evil.

Allow me to lift the curse.

I won't let you do that.

Zumi, you are our leader now, whether you want to be or not.

Consider the fate of one against the fate of all.

Let me lift the weight off your shoulders.

My answer is no.

- Ainbo is my-- - Ainbo is a curse!

- I'm going to find her. - I said: No.

How will you stop me?

Do you think any of my warriors will do your bidding?

One day soon, you'll thank me, Your Highness.

Atok!

Now, I lost Chuni.

And I'll never know about my mother.

Zumi thinks...

I don't know what she thinks.

Ouch!

No, you don't.

Why are you so far away from the river, little turtle?

You're trying to tell me something, aren't you?

Yes.

- Ouch! - Ow!

You are a sign, right?

A sign from Motelo Mama.

Let's go find Motelo Mama. Thanks, little turtle.

It's me and the jungle now.

Spirit guides!

Dillo!

Vaca!

Can you please appear again?

Uh, great!

I have no idea how to call them if I need their help.

Oh, and I'm starving.

Guaba!

I'm not greedy.

We can share.

Here, you want some?

You know, it's not polite to stare, right?

Ah.

Let me go!

I said I'd share with you!

Grab on!

Not my nose.

Oh, no.

- No, no! - Oh!

Oh.

Ah.

- Nice to see you. - What happened?

You two are very brave.

Thank you for saving me.

I wish, I--

Oh, what is wrong?

I wish, I could tell Chuni, but...

she's gone.

Gone?

Do you mean--?

Yes.

♪ I yearn Mama farewell ♪

Chant with us, Ainbo.

Let's make sure Chuni's spirit travels to the next world safely.

♪ I yearn Mama farewell ♪

♪ I yearn Mama farewell ♪

♪ I yearn Mama farewell ♪

Where is Atok?

Chuni despised him.

It's better that he's not here.

Now, please.

It's your job to send Chuni into the spirit world.

Go.

Goodbye Mama Chuni.

I love you.

Please, watch over down on me.

♪ I yearn Mama farewell ♪

♪ I yearn Mama farewell ♪

♪ I yearn Mama farewell ♪

I knew I'd find you.

What's wrong?

It's Ainbo.

She'll come back.

No, she won't.

Atok is going after her to--

To, to what?

Atok said, Ainbo was the cause of the curse,

that Candámo would return to prosperity if he--

He's gone after Ainbo?

I told him "no".

But, he just ignored me.

My first command.

And he treated me like I'm some little child.

Zumi, listen to me.

Take two of our men and find Atok before it's too late.

But Atok said, no warriors would join me.

Ridiculous.

You're their leader now.

So now, it's the time to lead.

Bring Ainbo home.

She's a day ahead of us.

And if we don't pick up a trail, we don't even know which way to go.

We have to find her.

And fast.

Ready?

Mm-mm.

Wait!

We forgot something.

- But, what? - What do we forget?

Breakfast.

Uh-huh. See the fruits?

Up there.

Shoot them.

Yummy, yummy!

Get them down.

Where are my arrows?

You lost your arrows?

Oh, that's all right.

Here. Try this.

- This? - Yep.

Concentrate,

aim,

and steady.

Oops!

No good.

Because you gave me a reed instead of an arrow.

Ay, reed, arrow, all the same.

Eh, just watch.

- Whoa! Bull's eye! - And a few more.

Whoosh! Zoom!

Woo-hoo!

There's my breakfast.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

the best armadillo archer in all the Amazon,

Dillo!

Great! I'm impressed.

But, you're a spirit.

You don't have to be a spirit to do that.

You just need to believe in yourself.

Here, I have got something that will help.

Show her.

Shooting a reed into a tree,

that is just a test.

And you flunked.

Got it.

A gift from your spirit guides.

We made it ourselves.

You made this?

How? When?

Spirit guide secrets.

It's so beautiful.

I might never want to shoot it.

Or you might.

Time will tell.

- It is better, I keep it. - Huh?

It will still be there when you need it.

So, now, we need to find Motelo Mama,

get the root, and save Candámo.

- Exactly. - In that order.

And now,

it's quest time.

Actually, I don't know where to go.

Can you help me?

Um, one moment.

What was the question?

Can you help me?

- Yes! - No.

- Yes and no. - Yes and no.

Sometimes, we can help.

And sometimes, we can't.

Crazy, isn't it?

How am I supposed to know when you can help?

You aren't supposed to know.

Spirit guide secrets.

- Again? - Mm-mm.

I told Chuni that you were sort of...

well, sorry,

I told her you were loopy.

But, she said, if you help me do everything,

it wouldn't be my quest.

Smart woman that Chuni.

I hope to meet her in the spirit world.

But right now, I am lost.

I have no idea where the Great River is.

Can you help me?

- The answer is...? - Yes!

Climb on up.

We'll cover much more ground this way.

Wow!

The Amazon is amazing.

So much more than just Candámo.

But, Candámo is part of the Amazon.

It is all one.

Hm?

Why did we stop?

Are we there?

Oh.

What do you think it is?

It is a place we stay away from.

Far away.

We think it belongs to the Yacuruna.

Then, why is it calling out to me?

Uh, what are you doing?

Ainbo!

We should go after her.

Sure, yes. We should.

You go first.

It's the Yacuruna!

Oh, oh!

Oh!

What are you doing here?

We never come here.

But sometimes, you got to change your mind.

Oh oh oh!

Oh.

Thanks.

Why did they stop at the river?

They are afraid of something.

- Water? - Yes, sure.

Next time, all we have to do is squirt them.

You don't have to be mean.

Maybe, it's something that lives in the river.

Oh, uh, maybe.

Now, what lives in the river?

Motelo Mama!

Guys, do you think Motelo Mama is nearby?

Hm, it's a big river.

All right, I get it.

It's my quest.

The moon's full. I'm going now.

Hm, stay close to the river bank.

We will see you later.

I hope so.

You got to be more careful with your arrows.

I knew it was you.

- When Zumi finds out that-- - Zumi sent me to end the curse.

That's a lie.

She...

She wouldn't.

I'm going to untie you now.

And I'm hoping you'll try to run away.

It seems like only yesterday, I went hunting with a young woman.

She was the fastest runner,

best hunter,

and knew the jungle like no one else.

You're talking about my mother.

Lizeni.

You know about your mother?

You'll be surprised by everything I know.

Not one more step, Atok.

Go ahead, shoot me.

You don't think I will?

I don't think you can.

Ha!

Just slide.

I was so much in love with your mother.

But, she chose another.

Who was he?

All that matters now is the curse.

And the curse ends here and now.

Are you the turtle that bit me?

Hey, wait!

Where are you going?

Wow!

Wow.

Hey, turtles.

Motelo Mama!

Motelo Mama!

Please, it's Ainbo!

I am Lizeni's daughter!

Hello, Ainbo.

I thought I'd never find you.

You look so much like your mother.

Everyone in the world seems to know my mother,

except me.

Not true.

You know her better than anyone.

How?

Tell me about your favorite tree.

You know about my tree?

Oh, you would know.

You're Motelo Mama.

Mm, that's right.

So, tell me.

I found the tree when I was a little girl.

I felt like I could tell it all my secrets.

Things you would only tell your mother.

That's right.

Things I would only tell...

But, it's a tree.

Just a tree?

Everyone thought I was crazy for talking to a tree.

But, I think my mother's spirit lives in that tree.

And the root of your mother's tree is the root you are seeking.

What is it, Ainbo?

I'm afraid.

I'm afraid of the jungle.

I'm afraid of the Yacuruna.

And I'm afraid, I'm just a scared child who can't even shoot an arrow.

The jungle needs you, not me.

I'm afraid too, Ainbo.

No.

You're Motelo Mama.

For thousands of years,

the bond between my children and I was perfect.

Then, the Yacuruna infected all of my children.

They stopped believing in the spirits,

in the jungle.

Now, I'm afraid that it may be too late.

There is no hope?

You are the hope, Ainbo.

- Huh? - Yes.

You are a scared child.

But, you're also much, much more.

I wish I could believe that.

You will.

Your mother's tree is sacred.

Its roots hold the power to change even the darkest heart.

So, they must be cut with sacred blade,

made from moonrock.

Now, I have to go to the moon?

No, Ainbo.

Climb onto me.

You must go to the volcano of the moon.

It's up ahead.

Find Pelejo, the sloth.

Be careful how you speak to him.

He's a grouch.

Bring him a gift.

Something sweet.

Then, what?

One step at a time, Ainbo.

I believe you dropped this.

Who are you?

Watch.

I am...

so tired.

Ta-da!

It's about time!

Do you always have to come out of nowhere?

If we came out of somewhere...

We'd already be there.

Oh, forget I asked.

So, isn't Motelo Mama the most amazing giant turtle,

who carries the world on her shell, that you've ever met?

You know I met her?

We know everything.

Except, when we don't.

We know that you have to bring Pelejo, the sloth,

something sweet.

So, here is your sweet leaf tree.

Perfect, thank you.

I'll break off some branches.

Branches?

This is Pelejo you're bribing.

What do you mean "bribing"?

He's gotten a bad temper.

You've got to get him on your side.

You don't want him to step on you.

Step on me?

How big is this Pelejo?

Oh, he's about...

He's a giant.

That's why you got to take him the whole tree.

Impossible.

No.

No?

Ow!

So, take the tree up to Pelejo.

Get the sacred moonrock.

Don't get stepped on.

And most important,

we'll wait right here.

Cheering you on every step of the way.

- Uh-huh. - Are you crazy?

I can't take the tree up there all by myself.

Didn't Motelo Mama command you to help me?

- Yes. - Yes.

But, we don't want to go up there.

We're scared of heights.

And uh, getting stepped on.

Stop whining.

If I'm going, you're going.

Or I'll tell Motelo Mama that you're cowards.

- Don't do that. - We'll go.

Okay, it is time for us to be brave.

Yeah. Brave!

- Wait! Stop! - What's now?

I didn't know it was so steep.

- Vaca? - We can't do this.

Oh yes, we can.

We just have to work really hard.

Heave!

- Ho! - Ho!

Heave!

- Ho! - Ho!

- Heave! - Ho!

- Heave! - Ho!

- Heave! - That's it, I got to rest.

- Heave! - Ho!

Oh!

Come on! We're close to the peak!

We can't take a rest!

Dillo!

Hold on!

This is the end of me.

Motelo Mama!

Dillo!

Vaca, no!

Oh.

Yes! Well, are we close to the top?

- What happened? - I don’t know.

Have you ever seen anything like this?

Mm-mm.

Shh!

It could be dangerous.

Of course, it could.

Now, follow me.

Hm?

Zumi.

Did you find Ainbo?

I found her tracks.

She's still a day ahead of us.

But perhaps, she's not so important anymore.

She's important to me.

And you are never,

never to disobey one of my commands again!

I understand.

Please, join us by the fire.

Zumi, I like you to meet the Honorable, Mr. Cornelis DeWitt.

It's an honor to meet you.

Likewise.

- I've never met a... - A white man?

Uh...

What a beautiful necklace you have!

I'm going to explain to her.

Bring me the whole briefcase.

What brings you to the jungle, Mr. DeWitt?

I'm a scientist.

Botanist.

What is that?

I study rare plants to see which ones might make powerful medicine.

You're a shaman?

Yes, you could say that.

Look, this one treats malaria.

Malaria?

The disease the bloodsuckers bring.

Has killed many of our elders.

Because you don't have the right medicine.

And this one is for yellow fever.

Untreated, that's almost always fatal.

Mr. DeWitt says, this could be the sickness that is killing Huarinka.

No. It's the curse that is killing my father.

But, what if these diseases are part of the curse?

I'm not sure I understand.

You see, Zumi, where I come from,

we have perfected the cure for many diseases with our medicines.

They're truly miracles.

And it could save my father?

I believe so.

Then come to my village, to Candámo.

Please, we have no time to lose.

I understand.

But, Mr. DeWitt,

explain one thing.

You're white man, a stranger to our jungle.

Why help us?

What do you want?

At heart, I'm a healer.

But, if you want me to want something...

Yes.

Go on.

Show me where you got the gold to make the beautiful necklace.

That's it?

If you heal my father,

I can show you where to dig gold out of the ground with bare hands.

Now, come. Back to Candámo.

Light torches.

Forget your torches.

I've this.

Heave!

- Ho! - Ho!

Heave!

- Ho! - Ho!

Heave.

- Ho. - Ho.

Mm-mm.

Is anyone thinking what I'm thinking?

This volcano is stinky.

Ouch!

I don't know much about volcanoes,

but why is the ground so warm here?

- Huh? - Huh?

Ainbo!

Mm! Who are you?

Let me have a closer look.

Oh.

Uh, I am Ainbo of Candámo.

Never heard of it.

Or you.

Who are they?

Who do you think they are?

From up here,

I guess that they are very small sloths,

or very large ants.

They are Vaca and Dillo.

Spirit guides.

Those two are spirit guides?

Right, I know.

But, what you don't know is that Motelo Mama sent them,

and me.

How do I know Motelo Mama sent you?

How do you know she didn't?

She sent me to get a moonrock.

And if I come back without one,

well, I don't want the one to be the one to blame.

Hm, it's true that you don't want to be on Motelo Mama's bad side.

So.

Do you have moonrock?

Of course, tons of it.

Just at the top of the peak.

- Take as much as you want. - Oh.

There is no way I can get there.

I need your help.

I haven't helped anyone for a hundred years.

Why should I start now?

Oh! You are very frustrating sloth.

But, I'll tell you why.

Look!

Look at what? Those two idiots?

They are not idiots.

Not all the time.

Look at the tree.

Is that what I think it is?

A whole sweet leaf tree!

Just for you.

For me?

If I get my moonrock.

I can not remember the last time I tasted anything sweet.

And after all, Motelo Mama sent you.

Here, a moonrock.

Thank you.

Do you know how I carve it into a knife?

You? Ha!

You can't.

I can.

Give it to me.

Oh, that can't be good for your teeth.

Here.

It's perfect.

Of course, it is.

Oh, sweet leaves!

You are a hungry one, aren't you, big guy?

I can't see anything around here that I would like to eat.

Only rocks and dust.

No wonder, he's moody.

Now, you need to go.

I'm sorry, we didn't mean to be rude.

Mm, that's not it.

That's it!

We need to escape.

And fast!

But, how?

Um, we fly with his fan!

With his fan?

Spirit guide magic.

Hey! Can we please, borrow your fan?

Will you bring me another sweet leaf tree?

If we get off this volcano, I'll bring you ten sweet leaf trees.

Then, hurry.

Ready to fly?

Have we got another choice?

We can burn.

I vote "fly"!

Then, come on.

Mm.

Oh, I'm too fat.

You go ahead.

We are not leaving you.

- What? - Vaca!

Meet us at my mother's!

- Where? - My tree!

Your mother is a tree?

Do you really expect me to explain it now?

If I live, I'll go on a diet.

Nice.

And scary.

Stop! Not so fast!

Stop!

Where are the brakes?

Woo-hoo! Ainbo, Dillo,

help me.

Someone, please!

I'm not a bird!

Oh-oh. Oh!

Steady now.

- Woo-hoo! - Hang on!

Look! There!

It's Candámo!

Hey, guys!

If only Zumi could see me now.

Oh, oh!

Oh!

- Whoa! - Whoa!

Coming in for a landing!

Yeah!

Oh.

Ow!

We made it, we made it!

Heave, ho.

- Heave, ho. - Vaca!

Heave, ho.

- Heave, ho. - There, there.

You're all right now.

- No more lava? - No.

No more sloths?

Everything's fine.

And you both are the best spirit guides ever.

I got my moonrock dagger.

Now, I need to talk to my mother.

Okay.

Mother?

Ainbo?

Zumi?

Zumi!

I never thought I'd see you again.

I never thought I'd see you.

- Ainbo, something happened. - What is it?

- My father, he is-- - Is he--?

No, he's not dead.

Come see.

No need for that now.

Don't be worried about Atok.

He will never try to hurt you again.

He knows he almost did a terrible thing.

It's not Atok.

It's--

I don't know what it is.

Come on.

Oh.

Do you feel that?

- There is something wrong? - And we both know it.

Papa?

Ainbo!

Oh, thank the gods.

Come here.

You look better.

I am better.

Mm, not perfect yet.

But, you will be.

Thank to a great shaman.

He's healing father, and he'll heal the village.

Who is he?

Am I interrupting?

I want you to meet my best friend, Ainbo.

Hello, Ainbo.

Zumi's best friend. That makes you very important.

I'm just a girl.

Please, I can already tell that you're much more than just a girl.

I...

I...

Ainbo!

Mm.

Ainbo.

What's wrong?

That man, he's dangerous.

That man saved my father's life.

He's not a man.

He's Yacuruna, disguised as a man.

- I'd seen it. - Oh.

Yacuruna!

The village thinks that you're the curse.

You know that, right?

Atok said that you sent him to find me.

To end the curse.

That's a lie.

Did you send him after your best friend?

I stopped him! Urgh!

It doesn't matter now.

That demon is all that matters.

Urgh! Spirits, demons! I'm sick of it!

If you continue to talk like this, I'll banish you for good.

Where are you going?

You're right.

I don't belong here.

If you leave, Ainbo,

don't come back!

How did you get here?

I walked. Silly girl.

What did you think? That I crawled?

That I slithered?

Where do I know you from?

You don't know me.

Not at all.

I'm leaving.

I will see you soon,

Ainbo.

Oh.

Huh?

Mr. DeWitt?

Yes.

What's wrong?

You are not a man.

You are--

It's you!

You are the Yacuruna.

Grant you, Mr. Smartypants.

- Did you see that? - Uh-huh.

And now what?

Let's get out of here.

Quietly.

Quietly.

Ainbo!

- Huh? - Listen to me.

Listen. You're not the evil spirit.

It's the white man, Mr. DeWitt.

You think I don’t know?

She knows.

And what she doesn't know, we do.

Woo-hoo! What are those things?

- Thing? - Thing?

- You get some nerve. - They're my spirit guides.

You didn't believe in them either.

I was a fool.

Can you ever forgive me?

So, you're glad I'm still alive?

Well, we all make mistakes.

- Right, guys? - Oh, yeah.

It's true. He makes mistakes all the time.

- What? - Guys.

From now on, no more mistakes.

It's time to show the gold.

Is there something wrong?

The gold!

Father?

You need to leave our village.

- Let Zumi and I-- - The gold!

Ainbo?

May I help?

Mm.

Mm.

Mother?

Please.

I need you.

I need you now.

Hm?

Oh.

It's her.

Ainbo.

Mother?

All these years, I've watched you,

waiting for this day.

- I love you, Ainbo. - I love you, Mama.

I am so happy for Ainbo.

Then, why are you crying?

Look at you. You're sobbing too.

No, I'm not!

The golden-tipped arrow, where is it?

It, it, it, it's here.

We made it ourselves.

And we didn't know why.

Oh, I think you did.

I whispered it into your ears.

Oh, that was you?

Yes.

Now, give the arrow to me.

- Huh? - Oh.

It's ready now.

Ready for what?

Listen.

I heard those sounds before.

It's the monster that belongs to the Yacuruna.

They're coming for Candámo.

We have to stop them.

- Atok. - I owe it to Ainbo.

And you.

No, you owe her the truth.

Now, come.

- Now, what? - Follow me.

There she goes!

Where are we going?

Candámo's gold now belongs to our great shaman.

He has lifted the curse from my father,

from our village.

We will repay him a thousand times over.

Soon, great ma...

- Machines. - machines.

Metal gods that dig for gold will arrive.

You will serve them...

like you will serve our great shaman.

Now, bow.

Pay your respect to our shaman.

You heard your princess!

Bow!

I am Lizeni of Candámo!

I demand that you and your machines leave!

Leave our land!

The land of our children and our ancestors!

Leave now!

Follow us!

It was me!

- What? - Your mother died because of me.

- You killed her? - No!

Yes!

No!

It was my jealous heart!

Hm?

Ah, the goddess.

Lizeni, isn't it?

You know who I am.

But, do you know who you are?

I am the god of gold.

And the ruler of the Amazon.

Is that who you really are?

- Will? - Don't you call me that, ever!

I challenge you.

- To what? - To hear the truth.

- Is that all? - The truth is everything.

Some of you remember.

Many years ago,

I saved your life.

And brought you to the village.

Stop it!

Not everyone welcomed Will.

Some hated him.

It's true. I hated this stranger.

Because I thought Lizeni belonged to me.

But, she fell in love with him.

I loved you Will.

And you were in love with me.

No more!

I thought you weren't afraid of the truth.

Huh?

Atok told everyone that Will had cursed me.

Put me under his spell.

My jealousy made me insane.

You, Ainbo,

you weren't even born,

but, I already hated you too.

We were condemned for loving each other.

Love was our only crime.

I was saved by the forest spirits, and became one with the jungle.

But, Yacuruna was waiting for Will.

He was perfect prey for the Yacuruna.

Lies! All of it!

- You're Ainbo's father. - Lies!

You're nothing, Ainbo!

I am the ultimate!

I'm the...

I am...

the Yacuruna!

We will no longer allow you to destroy our land,

and enslave people.

You believe you can conquer the Yacuruna?

Maybe, I can not.

But, what I can not do,

my daughter can.

A child!

Just a child!

Mother!

Zumi!

No!

Zumi!

My daughter.

It's your time, Ainbo.

You have one chance, one shot.

- You have to stop him. - Uh-huh.

But, he's my father.

He was your father.

Give the bow to me.

No!

It's your bow.

Your arrow, and your quest.

Only you can it.

You want me to shoot my own father?

No, no. On the contrary,

you'll free your father from the Yacuruna.

That's right.

You shoot the Yacuruna,

the evil inside him.

How do you know this?

It was whispered in my ears.

Zumi!

We have to save her.

- Wait for me! - We will save her!

- Hold on! - Oh! Hold on tight!

Father!

I know you're in there somewhere!

Dad!

Do not dare call me that!

Dad! Can you hear me?

No more!

Zumi!

Princess!

Come close!

I belong to the Yacuruna.

Do you, miserable little child, believe you can stop the Yacuruna?

Your pathetic arrow will not even scratch my skin.

Ainbo.

Mother?

Mother, please, guide my arrow.

You don't need my help.

You are ready now.

I know.

No!

I'll catch you!

Thank you.

- You're welcome. - Sure.

Zumi!

Hm?

Jump!

- We will catch you! - We will catch you!

Jump!

Ainbo.

What happened?

Oh!

Father!

Father, we are free again.

The curse is over.

Free.

We are free.

Who, who's this?

It's Will.

Will?

It's your father.

Mother!

Oh.

Aw.

Father?

Are you my daughter?

This is Ainbo.

Here, these will help.

My glasses!

I lost these long time ago.

Ainbo.

You are very courageous.

Thank you.

I never thought I'd meet you.

But...

Hm?

I'm afraid I can't stay.

We do not belong in this world anymore.

We belong together, at last.

And Ainbo, we'll be nearby.

I promise.

I promise too.

Will, I'll take good care of her.

If you let me.

Good.

But, treat her like you are her father.

Always.

We have to leave.

Our time is up.

You have to let us go now.

Ainbo!

Stop.

That's not a hug.

This is a hug!

Oh, wow, Ainbo.

You really saved us.

Saved Candámo.

But, there is so much more to do in the Amazon.

Whatever it is,

with your spirit guides, it will be a piece of cake.

With who?

- With us? - Yikes!

No.

- I'm afraid-- - We are afraid,

you have to follow through yourselves.

Yes, yourselves.

We?

Yes, us.
