[Panting]

[All chuckling]

The heart...

...for Smoke Frog.

Thank you.

This liver for Curl Nose.

[Curl Nose] Thank you.

Cocoa Leaf...

...the ears.

Thank you.

And for you Blunted...

...the balls.

Not this again.

I'm helping you.

Then you eat them!

I don't need them.
Neither do the rest of the fellows.

Do you fellows?

[All] No.

Of course not!

Sometimes!

What do you think?

No!

No, no!

But how many times does it take?

I have eight older sisters
and one brother.

Father took tapir balls all ten times.

Shall I tell him?

I'm sorry. The balls are useless.

You've never had them?

Couldn't tell you what they taste like.

None of you?

No, but it's been fun watching you...

This was your idea!

Get him off me!

- [Grunting]
- [All shouting]

Calm down!

Why do you let them treat you like this?

Be strong.

Where is your pride?

It all works... Yes?

Yes...

...I just can't make children.

There is something I will tell you...

...but I warn you, it's very powerful.

What do you speak of?

The soanzo leaf.

The soanzo leaf?

From the great marshes in the south...

This is what gave me my ten children.

No! No! Wait...

You have to rub them on... down there.

Just before you next try.

Apply it generously...

I don't know how to thank you.

If this works...
maybe she'll stop bothering me.

Your wife?

No, her mother.

The old hag wants grandchildren.

Give me some meat.

Here, work on this...

...pure meat...

...ball breath.

- [Grunts]
- [All laugh]

[Rumbling]

What do you want?

What do you want?

[Leaves rustling]

I am Flint Sky. I have hunted
this forest from the day I came of age.

My father hunted this forest
with me and before me.

Jaguar Paw, my son.

He hunts this forest with me.

He will hunt it with his son
after I am gone.

A good catch?

Good waters here.

The forest gives much here.

We ask only to pass through.

Pass.

Keep safe as you pass.

Let's go.

- [Baby cries]
- [Indistinct whispering]

Our lands were ravaged.

We seek a new beginning.

Your lands were ravaged?

Yes...

We seek a new beginning...

Be still.

My son!

Be still.

Back to the village.

[Howling]

[Chirping]

I ask you not to speak
of what you saw in the forest today.

You are troubled.

Yes, I am.

[Indistinct chatter]

Those people in the forest,
what did you see on them?

I do not understand.

Fear.

Deep rotting fear.

They were infected by it.

Did you see?

Fear is a sickness.

It will crawl into the soul
of anyone who engages it.

It has tainted your peace already.

I did not raise you
to see you live with fear.

Strike it from your heart.

Do not bring it into our village.

At first light
we will gather with the elders...

...at the sacred hill of our fathers.

There we will call on
their spirits to guide us.

[Children laughing]

[Growling]

Oh, here he is!

The big lump!

He's useless.

He can't do it.

[All laughing]

You! Yes you!

With your height and your girth.
You have deceived us.

Get inside!

Damn you! Get in there!

Old woman, please.

Move it!

You don't work!

What are you laughing about?

Give me a grandchild
or I will have you replaced.

Mother, that's enough.

Do not come out until you make a child.

Two would be better!

What?

Twins you oaf.

Mother.

Can you go away?
He says he can't with you sitting there.

Just get busy.

Mom...

She's gone.

[Shouting]

Mother, what do you say we should
have at the feast tonight?

I have tapir...
but I also found this boy.

[Mother] I say boy.

Roasted!

The tapir smells better.
I think it's more fresh.

No Dad! No! It's me! It's me!

I'll just hang the boy here
in case we change our minds.

Wait...

That's our Turtles Run.
That's our eldest.

Yes it's me. It's your eldest!

In that case, a crush for my eldest...

...and a crush for my youngest.

[Mother] Tapir it is.

[Blunted moaning]

[Both hollering]

[All laughing]

One day, old man!

One day you won't be able
to run anymore!

[Man] And a Man sat alone.

Drenched deep in sadness.

And all the animals
drew near to him and said:

"We do not like to see you so sad...

"Ask us for whatever you wish
and you shall have it."

The Man said:
"I want to have good sight."

The vulture replied:
"You shall have mine."

The Man said: "I want to be strong."

The jaguar said:

"You shall be strong like me."

Then the Man said: "I long
to know the secrets of the earth."

The serpent replied:
"I will show them to you."

And so it went with all the animals.

And when the Man had
all the gifts that they could give...

...he left.

Then the owl said to the other animals:

"Now the Man knows much
and is able to do many things...

"Suddenly I am afraid."

The deer said:
"The Man has all that he needs."

"Now his sadness will stop."

But the owl replied: "No."

"I saw a hole in the Man...

"Deep like a hunger
he will never fill...

"It is what makes him sad
and what makes him want."

"He will go on taking and taking...

"Until one day the World will say:

"I am no more
and I have nothing left to give."

[Drum beating]

[Indistinct chatter]

Come back to me...

Come back to me.

My son is dancing.

Your son is happy.

[Dog barking]

[Heartbeat]

What do you want?

[Panting]

Run!

[Moaning]

Now that you're up,
can you please kill that dog?

The dog.

[Dog continues barking]

[Dog whimpers, stops barking]

Get up! Get up! Now!

[Screaming]

- [Grunting]
- [Yelling]

[Indistinct screaming]

[Both grunting]

Go to the forest.

Run! Do not look back.

[Panting, shouts]

No! No! I am afraid!

Look into my eyes. Look into my eyes.

Be strong...

I am afraid!

Be strong.

- [Crying]
- [Shouting]

[Baby wails]

Tie him up!

[Screams]

Father!

The others. I have to help.

No, don't leave us!

I will come back, I promise.

Don't you leave!

I promise.

Stay, please stay.

Father, don't go.

[Shouts in Mayan]

[Crying out]

- [Bone crunching]
- [Screaming]

[Both shouting]

- [Screaming]
- [Chuckling]

Very nice.

Stop!

Tie him up!

I want him alive.

Sorry Father.

That's enough!

Stand him up.

Move away.

My son.

Don't be afraid.

[Gasps]

Almost...

[gasps]

...that's your name.

"Almost".

[Indistinct wailing]

[Indistinct chattering]

Our life is over.

Shame...

Shame!

Cowards!

[Both shouting]

[Weeping]

[Whispers indistinctly]

- [Gasps]
- [Cries out, sobs]

Let's move!

[Children crying]

[Babies crying]

[Cries out]

[Yells out in Mayan]

We move out now.

They are back.

Get up!

Heave!

Cut Rock, you forgot to duck.

Hold still.

Can you see?

Yes.

Get back to your line.

- [Panting]
- [Indistinct chatter]

[Children shout out, cry]

Come with us...

[gasping]

Get up.

Leave him alone, "Almost".

I said get up.

- [Grunting]
- [Straining]

Up, up...

...that's it.

Let's go!

This man is a good friend of yours...
