[Wheezing]

 

[Children wailing]

 

Don't worry...

 

I'll take care of them.

 

They are mine now.

 

Gentle lxchel. Tender mother of mercy.

 

Keep them from harm. Please. Keep them.

 

[Groaning]

 

One more.

 

Ready?

 

[Indistinct shouting]

 

[Gasps, grunting]

 

[Straining]

 

Hold on! Hold on!

 

Wait...

 

...let's see what happens.

 

That's it!

 

Hurry!

 

Pull! Be strong!

 

Yes! You did it!

 

[Laughing]

 

Good work!

 

Can you breathe? Good.

 

[Thudding]

 

[Man] Wait here.

 

What's become of my capture?

 

Dead weight.

 

He nearly took the rest with him.

 

I let him go.

 

You. Let him go?

 

Shall we now do what you want?

 

Let us try that.

 

[Speaks Mayan]

 

Don't let any others go.

 

Let's move.

 

[Man shouts in Mayan]

 

[Jaguar Paw winces]

 

Get up "Almost".

 

We don't want to lose you just yet.

 

[Woman singing]

 

[Speaking in Mayan]

 

Stand up, boy.

 

You proved yourself today, my son.

 

You're now worthy to stand
with the rest of us.

 

Thank you Father.

 

Take it...

 

...it's yours.

 

It has taken many lives.

 

Get some rest.

 

Resting brothers...

 

...fathers, mothers, wives.

 

You felt the cold
of this day's early morning.

 

Now you cannot feel
the coldness of its night.

 

She stopped screaming...

 

...too long before they returned,
she had stopped screaming.

 

We saw how she fought them.

 

But in the final moment?

 

If she let them...

 

...the Goddess of the Scaffold
shows no mercy for the weakness...

 

Her soul waits for yours
in the shade of the Ceiba Tree.

 

I need to know.

 

Before this day's end
I will leave this world.

 

I will take as many
of these bastard dogs with me as I can.

 

And I will gladly embrace
the torments of hell...

 

...if I do not find my Sky Flower there.

 

[Thundering]

 

Don't rain.

 

- [Indistinct chatter]
- [Tree rumbling]

 

[Men shouting]

 

I am walking here.

 

[Weeping]

 

Keep away, she has the sickness.

 

[Man] Get back!

 

- [Grunts]
- [Moans]

 

You fear me?

 

So you should...

 

...all you who are vile.

 

Would you like to know how you will die?

 

The sacred time is near...

 

Beware the blackness of day.

 

Beware the man who brings the jaguar.

 

Behold him reborn from mud and earth...

 

For the one he takes you to
will cancel the sky...

 

...and scratch out the earth.

 

Scratch you out.

 

And end your world.

 

He's with us now.

 

...day will be like night.

 

And the man jaguar
will lead you to your end.

 

[Indistinct shouting]

 

Where are they taking us?

 

We tell stories of a place stone-built.

 

What happens there?

 

I do not know...

 

...but the earth bleeds.

 

We are near.

 

Salvation!

 

He has the laughing sickness.

 

He likes you!

 

Help me!

 

Save me.

 

Die like a man.

 

[Whimpering]

 

[Chanting]

 

[Growling]

 

Welcome back.

 

Have you been successful?

 

Ask my son.

 

How many captives?

 

Deal with my son.

 

A fair price.

 

As always, trust me.

 

Good.

 

[Speaking in Mayan]

 

How much will you give me?

 

[Shouting indistinctly]

 

[Shouting in Mayan]

 

[All yelling]

 

Who will buy this woman?

 

No... she's too old.

 

She can be useful.

 

She can cook... clean...

 

Useless old woman!

 

No sale.

 

Go!

 

Go on.

 

[Chanting continues]

 

[Indistinct chatter]

 

- [Crowd shouting indistinctly]
- [Loud drumming]

 

[Chanting, shouting]

 

[Panting, chanting]

 

[Crowd cheers]

 

[Chanting]

 

[Crowd cheers]

 

These are the days of our great lament.

 

[Crowd shouting indistinctly]

 

The land thirsts.

 

A great plague infests our crops.

 

The scourge of sickness
afflicts us at whim.

 

They say this strife has made us weak.

 

That we have become empty.

 

They say that we rot.

 

Great people of the banner of the sun...

 

I say...

 

...we are strong.

 

We are a people of destiny.

 

Destined to be the masters of time.

 

Destined to be nearest to the gods.

 

Mighty Kukulkan!

 

Whose fury could scorch
this earth to oblivion...

 

Let us appease you with this sacrifice.

 

To exalt you in your glory.

 

To make our people prosper.

 

To prepare for your return.

 

Warrior, unafraid and willing!

 

With your blood you renew the world!

 

From age to age.

 

Thanks be to you.

 

- [Crowd cheers]
- [Gasping]

 

The heart of god!

 

[Chanting]

 

- [Heartbeat pounding]
- [Speaking in Mayan]

 

[Gasping]

 

[Inhales sharply]

 

Come back to me.

 

Brother...

 

Journey well...

 

No.

 

I can't go.

 

Not now...

 

[man speaks indistinctly]

 

[Giggles]

 

[Warbled chanting]

 

[Crowd moaning]

 

[Crowd wailing]

 

People of the banner
of the sun do not fear.

 

Rejoice!

 

Kukulkan has drunk his fill of blood.

 

We have sated his thirst.

 

Great god.

 

Show us that you are pleased.

 

Let your light return upon us.

 

[All cheer]

 

- [Muttering]
- [Laughing]

 

What of these captives?

 

Dispose of them.

 

- [Shouting indistinctly]
- [Men panting]

 

I need a finisher.

 

You.

 

Release them.

 

You watch.

 

- [Gasps]
- [Grunts]

 

I'm ready!

 

There's your jungle beyond the corn.

 

Go to it.

 

You're free...

 

...now run.

 

I said run.

 

Run!

 

- [Grunts]
- [Men cheer]

 

[Shuddering]

 

Not bad.

 

[Gasping heavily]

 

Your turn.

 

Run.

 

[Panting]

 

[All cheer]

 

[Straining]

 

Run!

 

- [Grunts]
- [Men laugh]

 

[Men muttering]

 

Sleep.

 

Sleep, sleep now my son.

 

The pain will be no more.

 

Sleep.

 

[All hollering]

 

[Panting]
