Hope.
Hope?
Dear Doc, my dear friend.
You're in my thoughts
as you are every year
on this day when my people and I
commemorate Ellie's death.
Know that we are still
watching over her soul
as we continue the fight without her.
Unfortunately, the situation
is getting worse by the day.
Our rivers are being poisoned.
Our trees cut down
in ever-greater quantities.
The animals are poached, sold,
and trafficked relentlessly.
Worse still,
there is only one jaguar left
in the region.
And its days are numbered.
We need help.
I need that truck out of here
by tonight.
- How far along are we?
- Two hours, boss.
Two hours. That's two hours too long.
I won't tolerate any more than a 10% loss.
Hey.
I don't pay you
to bring me dead, worthless birds.
Go.
Watch it.
Sorry, boss.
We'll be tracking the jaguar,
the black jaguar.
Now you're talking.
Finally.
The last jaguar.
I'm counting on you.
As always, give our little princess a kiss
and tell her not to forget her family
from the forest.
Your friend, Or.
I can't sleep. Again.
Autumn, sweetie.
What's, uh-- You okay?
Mm-hmm.
Looks like you'll be getting another
good night's sleep
thanks to that paper of yours.
Oh, no. Tell me about it.
- What is that?
- What?
What was that? Oh, that? Nothing.
Just some research for my paper.
It's nothing.
Yeah.
Did you, um...
Did you have the, um, the nightmare again?
Mm-hmm.
- Oh, um, tomorrow...
- Yeah.
- I was thinking, um, about school...
- Yup.
I'm just... I'm just not gonna go.
You know?
- Oh.
- We've got biology.
Autumn, please, it's so late.
Dad, come on, you know
I can't stand my biology teacher.
She's such a priss
with her hair in that little bun.
And her little skirt,
and her little glasses,
and her little heels,
and her little hedgehog. Oh, my God.
She is so boring,
she can make plants cry out of boredom.
Although,
she's entirely obsessed with them.
- And that's another thing--
- Autumn. Autumn.
You're going, and that's final.
Go to sleep.
- I love you.
- I love you.
Hey.
By the way, your teacher...
she adopted that hedgehog.
He's handicapped,
so she can't be that lame.
- Right.
- Right.
Oh, and also, she doesn't wear glasses.
- What?
- Your teacher, she doesn't wear glasses.
- Okay.
- No, no. Okay.
- I love you.
- Love you.
Mom.
While the debates
on the construction of the dam
and deforestation are raging,
Doria Dargan said this morning,
"It's 30 years of clean energy
and thousands of jobs
that I offer at Mayarihaw.
So, of course, the ecologists grumbled,
but we have taken measures.
The inhabitants of the flooded lands
will be relocated,
and then, let's not lie,
even the Indians want modernity.
Beautiful cars, flat screens,
iPhones, they dream of it.
Like everyone else."
That's it, Adam.
I have a little playmate here.
Little play--
Mommy, I'm going for a walk.
Don't go too far.
Go that way. Old pants...
Where is this butterfly?
I got you, butterfly.
You're really beautiful.
I'm not gonna do anything for you.
I lost the butterfly.
Oh, it's right there. I see it.
Autumn.
Oh, my God.
Is that a baby jaguar?
That's a baby jaguar.
That's a baby jaguar.
It's okay. I've got you.
I'm here. Okay?
Look, we're moving.
Oh, no. No, no. Don't. Please.
Look. I've never seen
a pretty kinkajou before.
Look at those parrots, right there.
Did you see it?
Why are you here? Aren't you
supposed to be with your mommy?
Well, I'm gonna be
your new friend from now.
My name is Autumn.
What's yours? Well... I'm so silly.
You can't talk.
I never told you
I can run to the stars
Before the morning glow
I'll come to heal your scars
I will go on this path
No matter where it flows
I'm not afraid...
Well, my mommy and daddy
are gonna come look for us.
Oh. We're gonna be in my house.
And we're gonna go to bed.
And my bed is the comfiest one
in the whole wide world.
You're gonna love it.
And I'm gonna see you upside down.
I'm sure you're gonna love that.
And, to be sure,
I'm going to call you Hope.
If that's okay with you.
Hopie.
Autumn!
- Autumn!
- Where are you, sweetie?
Autumn!
Autumn!
- Autumn!
- Autumn!
- Mommy?
- Coming, sweetheart.
- Sweetie, we're here.
- Mommy?
- Autumn!
- Keep calling!
- Keep calling!
- Mommy!
- Honey!
- Keep calling. Keep calling, sweetheart.
- Mommy!
- Autumn!
- Mommy! Daddy!
- We hear you, keep calling.
- Sweetie, we're here. We're coming.
- I'm here!
Mommy! Daddy!
- Oh!
- Come, come, come, come.
Oh, sweetheart.
What took you so long?
Oh, you're safe, you're safe, you're safe.
The cubs mother is probably the female
that was shot earlier by the poachers.
Yeah. Those poachers
were near our daughter.
Ellie, this is getting too dangerous.
- Hi.
- Hey.
I have a bad feeling about today.
You're tough on her. She may be weird,
but at least we're gonna have fun.
Hello. Sorry for being late.
Good morning, Ms. Shymore.
Good morning, Kitten.
Good morning, class. Please sit down.
Would some please go
and fetch some water for--
Thank you, Chloe.
There's your water.
I need a student...
to go get the frogs from the lab.
I knew it.
Crap, I'm gonna be sick.
Autumn. What are you doing?
I'm calling the ASPCA.
Autumn, put your phone down, right now.
- Enough. Go to the principal.
- Ooh!
Okay.
Annie, would you please go
and get the frogs from the lab?
Thank you.
Everyone else, let's have our books open
to page 25 and let's get started.
We've a lot of work to do today
and it's going to be thrilling.
Yes!
Hi, there.
Come here.
Come here.
Beep. Beep.
Oh. Come on.
Well...
Expelled. As usual.
Again?
I imagine your father's state.
Yeah. Yeah. He was pretty mad.
He's, uh, he's sending me to my grandma's.
Oh, my God.
You must be disgusted.
No, actually, I'm really happy about it.
She's really cool.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I'll miss you so much.
Plus, we were supposed to go
to the ice rink on Sunday.
- Hey, I'm, I'm gonna call you back. Okay?
- Okay. Bye!
Saul Edison.
Dear Doc, my dear friend.
You're in my thoughts
as you are every year
on this day when my people and I
commemorate Ellie's death.
Know that we are still watching
over her soul
as we continue the fight without her.
As I'm telling you every year,
animals are poached and sold
in trafficking networks.
And the worst, there is only one jaguar
left in the region.
And its days are numbered.
We really need help.
As always, give our little princess a kiss
and tell her not to forget her family
from the forest.
Your friend, Or.
Autumn!
How could you do this to me?
You can't be in here. I'm so sorry.
Ms. Burley, you can lay back down.
It's fine. Lay down, it'll be fine.
- What are you doing here?
- How long has Or been writing you?
- How long have you been lying to me?
- Autumn, get out of my office.
We'll talk about this at home. Go.
Go!
So sorry about that.
That's embarrassing.
That'll never happen again.
What if it's Hope?
What are you talking about?
The jaguar that Or talks about
in his letter. It's Hope.
Dad, for years you've forbidden me
to talk about her.
You've forbidden me
to even think about her.
And I do what you say,
because you promised me she was safe.
- I trusted you and you betrayed me.
- Autumn, that is enough.
- You've no idea what you're talking about.
- We have to go save her.
- We're not going anywhere.
- Dad!
Go, Dr. Edison.
Really? From the hypochondriac.
Did anybody even ask you?
It is time for you to move on.
We left the jungle eight years ago.
Maybe you should move on.
It's been eight years since Mom died too.
Autumn, that's not fair.
Where are you going?
No, okay, Ms. Burley, I'm so so--
The people united
Will never be defeated
Hey, Hopie, look.
This is my show.
The people united
Will never be defeated
Arise, we sing
We are going to win
Flags of unity are now advancing
And you will come
Marching together with me
And so you'll see
Your song and your flag blossom
The light of a red dawn
Already announces the life to come
No? Oh...
Oh, my gosh.
You're not even interested in my show.
If something happens,
I'm gonna be there protecting you.
Okay?
Oh, my gosh, I can't believe
Hope came into my room
and got all my stuff...
all, like, messed up. Ugh.
- What are you doing, sweetie?
- Hi, Mommy.
What are you making?
Well, I was actually
finishing this T-shirt.
- With flowers.
- That's amazing, honey.
Thank you, Mommy.
Hey. What are the three things
that you must never forget?
Mm. That I'm truly loved.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
And... there's nothing I could do wrong.
That's right. Exactly.
- Is that necklace for me?
- I want you to have this.
- Really?
- 'Cause you know what?
You... will change the world.
Why?
'Cause you're a very special
little girl, Autumn.
I'm a very special little girl.
I love you so much.
I love you too, Mommy.
Say goodbye to Mommy.
Bye-bye, Mommy.
Sweetie, Hope's all grown up now.
She's been living between the house
and the jungle for some time,
so she's gonna be just fine.
- Celya.
- Stay safe, my friend.
Thank you. Okay.
- Let's go.
- No.
Come on, Autumn.
- Come, come, come.
- I don't wanna go.
I know. I know.
Come. Come on.
I can get back home without Mom, right?
I mean, everybody else can.
So?
There's no reason we can't.
What are you doing here?
I just want my phone back.
You never gave it to me.
Oh.
Are you going somewhere?
What do you care?
Well...
You show up here after hours.
You don't seem yourself.
You're only 15 years old,
so I feel concerned.
Well, what did you expect?
I'm not gonna be all smiles
after you got me kicked out of school.
Autumn.
Look, you have it all wrong.
I tried to find a different solution.
- I gave you several chances.
- Okay.
Just... give me my phone.
- Tell me where you're going.
- To my grandmother's.
Where's Saul?
- Is he waiting for you downstairs?
- Yes.
My dad is waiting for me downstairs.
You're going somewhere on your own.
You had a fight with your dad
and now you're running away from home.
- Is that it?
- Of course, not. Just give it to me.
I'm calling your father.
Right now, Autumn.
Give it to me.
Or I throw him out the window.
Autumn! Get a grip.
Get a grip. You are acting bananas.
Okay? No.
This isn't you.
This isn't you.
Give me Kitten.
Okay. We can talk. Okay?
Mayarihaw? What?
Mayarihaw, in the Amazon?
Ty-- Typhoid. Typhoid, Hepatitis A!
Hepatitis B! Yellow fever, Rabies, flu,
malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus,
all deadly diseases!
Not to mention the m*rder rate,
which is terrible, there anyways.
Bacteria, viruses, parasites,
poor sanitary and living conditions.
Rabies! Cholera! Tapeworms! Mango flies!
Damn, damn, damn, damn!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Hi, honey.
Mom, I need you to come to school.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm sorry, honey,
but I can't take you tonight.
- I have a dinner.
- What?
I really have to get going.
I can't do anything without you,
you know that.
- Okay.
- Come on.
Hi, Grandma. Listen, um...
I need your help. Okay?
No, no, no, everything's fine.
Everything's fine. It's just, um...
I lied to Dad. Okay?
I know he thinks
I'm at your house, but, um,
I'm just gonna go
to my friend's house. Riley?
Yes, yes, you know her. You met her. Um...
It's just that he never would've let me,
you know, my little problems at school.
So, would you cover for me?
Just this once.
Oh! Thank you, Grandma.
Okay, I'll visit you
as soon as I get back.
Okay. Okay. Love you. Bye.
Hi, Dad, it's me.
I just got to Grandma's fine.
I'll call you again soon.
I'll give her a kiss for you. Bye.
Taxi!
Okay. Oh! For God's sake.
The door. Maybe?
You just left the door open?
- ...what are? For--
- Excuse me!
Excuse me.
Where's the check-in
for the Mayarihaw flight?
You're cutting it very close.
The passengers are boarding, ma'am.
- I was just about to close the flight.
- Oh, well. There you go.
Come on, let's go.
You did everything you could.
Is the plane making a stopover
before Mayarihaw?
Miami.
Miami.
Okay.
I will take that one.
H-Have you lost your mind?
- Mom.
- Don't give her the ticket.
The plane is making a stop in Miami.
We land. We get off the plane.
I get her back to New York.
End of story.
I can do this.
I'll take a ticket to Mayarihaw.
She's not up for it.
Don't give her the ticket.
- What is that?
- That's my hedgehog.
Oh, uh, mm-mm-mm-mm. Mm-mm.
What do you mean, mm-mm?
What's that supposed to mean?
You can't take that with you.
That's just...
- Ma'am, the flight is leaving.
- Yeah.
Mom.
What are you doing?
If I don't do this,
I'll never be able to forgive myself.
Ma'am, the flight is leaving
in two minutes.
Yeah.
- You have to go now.
- Yes.
Run.
Could Ms. Anja Shymore
please make herself known
to a member of our cabin crew
as soon as possible?
- Ms. Shymore.
- Yes.
Perfect, right this way.
Sit right down here.
- Miss, I just need-- Autumn?
- Ma'am. Ma'am, please.
I...
- Autumn?
- Ma'am,
please sit down
and fasten your seatbelt.
Autumn? Autumn?
Ma'am?
Excuse me, I'm looking for a young girl.
Have you seen her?
Oh, excuse me. I must get out.
Yeah, exactly. Thank you so much.
Oh. She's about this high.
She's got a mischievous spark in her eyes.
She's about your age. No?
Her name is Autumn.
What are you doing here?
What has gotten into that head of yours
to go to such a dangerous place?
- It's not in my head.
- Thank you.
- It's in my heart.
- What do you mean, your heart?
It's my best friend. Her name is Hope.
She's over there and she's in danger.
She's counting on me,
so I have to go save her.
I don't even know
why I'm having this conversation with you.
We are getting off at the next stopover
and going right back to New York.
You're not my mom. Leave me alone.
- I'm just trying to protect you.
- Oh.
So you're Wonder Woman now, huh?
The whole weirdo biology teacher thing
is just a cover?
Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
And you? You're not hungry?
Oh, no, it's not that. It's just, uh,
I don't eat my friends.
Animals? Do you eat your friends?
- No.
- Thank you.
Hey, uh, you didn't bring Kitten with you?
I thought you couldn't do anything
without him.
Of course, I did.
They put him in the hold.
Bunch of dumbbells.
Darn.
In that case, if you ever
want to see your hedgehog again,
we're gonna have to go
all the way to Mayarihaw,
'cause he won't be getting off
at the stopover.
Shame.
Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am.
You're gonna miss your connecting flight.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.
Hey!
Thanks a lot.
I would've taken care of your rodent.
Just saying.
He is not a rodent.
Ms. ASPCA ought to know that.
Thank you.
- Move them.
- All right, everybody, show's over.
Clear the runway.
You see? I told you so.
- You cannot stay here. Okay?
- Come on. Come.
...you guys. This way!
Excuse me. Sorry.
Um, who's that?
That's Doria Dargan.
She's a very powerful businesswoman here.
She wants to build a dam.
Come with me. Move. Move it!
And what are they
demonstrating against?
- You gotta move. Come with me.
- Against her.
Against the dam.
Stop resisting. Move.
Autumn. Autumn.
You have two choices. Okay?
Either, I hand you over to the police.
Two, you come back with me to New York.
What's it gonna be?
- My stomach hurts.
- Oh. I knew it. I knew it.
Could be anything.
We really need to get you back home.
- I really need to go to the bathroom.
- Okay.
Yes, let's find a bathroom.
Let's go to the bathroom. Let's go.
Slowly. Slowly.
You clench as much as you can.
You're almost there. You're almost there.
Oh, you made it. Okay.
Let me know if you need anything.
It's really bad.
- It's gonna be okay. Okay?
- Okay.
Just don't come in.
It's gonna get really messy.
Oh. Sweetie.
Autumn?
You should check if you have rashes.
Autumn?
Okay? Do you hear me?
Autumn!
Autumn!
You've gotta be kidding me.
Autumn!
You get off that thing right now!
You have no idea how dangerous this is!
There's no trucks this size!
This time you have gone too far!
Autumn! There's no way
that I'm getting on this thing.
People from the city.
$5.
Oh. Oh, yes, of course.
My apologies.
- Do you have change?
- No change. No change.
Okay.
So your stomach's all better now?
I'm sorry,
but you wouldn't get off my back.
I have never, ever met a teenager
as impossible as you.
You're... You're insufferable.
So stop stalking me.
Where are we going?
To see my family.
That's incredible.
The largest tropical rainforest on earth.
309 billion trees.
The world's biggest air-conditioning unit.
70% of the world's biodiversity.
And one in two tree species
risks extinction.
57% of plants are endangered too
and we continue to--
You know all that
and yet you do nothing about it?
I teach.
We're getting off?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Thank you. Thank you.
What now?
Um... I don't really know.
I was only, like, six or seven
when we left.
Oh, my God.
Autumn, I--
Autumn! Autumn!
Autumn. Autumn.
Autumn. We...
really need to call your dad.
You understand that now, right?
I'm sure he'll understand.
Please.
Thank you.
Hi, Dad.
It's me. Everything's fine, yeah.
Just the usual.
Me and Grandma are keeping busy.
You--
Are you out of your mind?
We are lost
in the middle of the forest and you--
We are up to here in poop
and all that does is make you act crazier.
- You just can't help yourself, can you?
- I never asked for your help!
You don't understand anything.
Neither does my father.
I don't care if it's difficult,
I don't care if it's dangerous,
I just wanna save my friend
and nobody wants to help me.
Uh...
I'm here.
Kitten and I are here.
So...
What is your family's name?
Hmm?
- The Awahas.
- The Awahas.
Okay.
And do people around here know them?
- I guess.
- Okay.
Okay. So we'll just--
we'll just ask these people who--
Who are quite, uh, uh...
Uh, I'm just gonna sit down for a minute.
Oh.
Excuse me, do you happen to know
Mr. and Mrs. Awaha?
Oh.
Mr. and Mrs. Awaha?
- Awaha.
- Mm-hmm.
Awaha.
This is nightmare.
Mr. and Mrs. Awaha.
Oh, thank you.
- Uh-huh.
- Please sit.
Awa-- Oh.
A-waha.
Awa-haha.
A-boo-boop.
Okay.
Ms. Shymore, I think you should cut back
on those herbal pills of yours.
Whoa. Oh, no. No.
Yeah, Hopie.
Go swim over there. Go.
Go, go, go, baby. Go.
You're doing it, baby!
You did it!
Hope. Hopie.
Come on, Hope.
Hopie, come on. Hope.
Come on. Let's go swim.
Come on.
I'm waiting for you, right here.
Good girl, you're learning so fast.
Hope.
Monkey? 10,000 pesos.
Oh, how dreadful.
She looks just like my niece.
Oh. No, no, no.
This is what
Or was talking about in his letter.
Or?
Or. He's my uncle.
He's the one that wrote to my father
about the animal trade.
Told him that
people were destroying the forest,
that my family's in danger.
He asked him for help, but Father just...
doesn't give a damn.
I'll be very surprised
if your father didn't give a damn.
I think he's just trying to protect you.
You know.
Sometimes in life we have these ideals,
- but as we get older, we realize--
- That they're beyond our reach?
You sound just like my dad.
I don't care about any of that.
It's complete bull.
It's-- Oh.
- Awaha.
- No.
Just a minute.
- This looks familiar.
- Good.
That's good.
Um...
Hi.
I can't believe this.
Why do you keep doing this to me?
Do you even know these people?
Why do you have to see
doom and gloom everywhere?
Your cousins don't exactly
seem to recognize you.
Do you speak their language?
Um, a few words, yeah,
but it's not coming back to me right now.
- That's very irritating.
- Yeah.
- Asha?
- Celya?
Gosh, it's been so long.
Come on, everybody, the welcome dance.
It's Asha. Asha!
Oshpa!
- Remember this?
- Um, kind of.
Come on, dance. This is the welcome dance.
No, oh, no, no. No, I c-- I can't.
I-- I don't have feet.
Come. Dad will be so happy to see you.
- Osh... pa.
- Oshpa.
Ms. Shymore, the jungle plants.
The jungle plants,
may I introduce you to Ms. Shymore.
Or!
Asha!
What a delightful surprise.
I dreamt about you.
Look at you.
You're growing like an orchid.
- You both came, despite everything.
- I came.
By myself. Well, not exactly.
Ms. Shymore tagged along.
She's my biology teacher.
She followed me all the way from New York
to try and stop me from coming here.
She's such a pain.
Autumn, you ran away?
What's gotten into you? You're crazy,
your father must be worried sick.
He's not worried. He's busy working.
And he thinks I'm at my grandma's house.
Anyways.
He didn't even wanna come, but I had to,
- you know--
- Quiet now, Asha, you're going home.
I'm not gonna let Hope get k*lled.
What are you gonna do about it, Autumn?
I'm gonna find her,
then I'm gonna take her
right to the heart of Mayarihaw,
to a wildlife corridor
where she'll be safe.
She'll follow me. She trusts me.
We don't even know if this jaguar is Hope
and even if it is her,
you wouldn't be able to get close to her.
You're not babies anymore.
She's a wild animal now.
You ought to be careful.
They eat hedgehogs here.
Come, come with me.
- Maybe you should--
- Don't worry.
She's in familiar territory now
and she's with my daughter.
They've known each other
since they were born.
Thank you for following her
and watching over her. But...
she mustn't stay and neither should you.
It's just...
far too dangerous.
And I'll find out
when the next bus leaves.
Oh.
Please be reassured.
I have no intention of staying here.
Whatsoever.
I just didn't have a choice.
I'm not exactly dressed for the occasion.
Not that I ever really am,
come to think of it.
We always have a choice.
You're very brave.
Would you like me to try
and find you some clothes?
Oh, yes.
- Come with me.
- Thank you.
I was here
when you drew that picture of Hope.
I'm, uh...
kinda like a clown fish.
It's the same for me.
You see, if it...
leaves its anemone, it dies.
If I have to do something,
I don't know what to do.
And if I have to speak,
I don't know what to say.
People stare at me.
I lose my composure.
You can read my soul.
No, that's Jean-Jacques Rousseau's
definition of agoraphobia.
He's a French philosopher.
Trust your wings.
Trust your wings.
Right now Id give my left arm and my leg
to be teleported back home.
Mm...
Perfect.
Uh...
She's the reason you came back,
isn't she?
She's my friend.
Look at this.
I thought you could tell time by the sun.
I can. I thought it was pretty cool,
that's all.
Besides,
all the kids in the city have one.
Oh, okay, yeah.
Rainforest swag.
Hey. Funny.
Come on.
Oh, I love you, Hope.
Don't lick me.
Oh, what's wrong?
It's okay.
Come, help. Help! Please, help! Help!
Why did she do that, Or?
- Why?
- We don't know that it's her.
I recognized her.
It was Hope.
Hope is the jaguar?
What is life?
It's the glow of the firefly in the night.
It's the breath of a buffalo in winter.
It's the little shadow
that runs through the grass
and disappears into the sunset.
That's it.
Get some rest now, Asha.
Let your heart find peace.
Momma.
She did all this for a jaguar?
Her best friend is a jaguar?
And...
Is this animal really in danger?
I'd go as far as saying
that jaguar doesnt stand a chance.
Come here.
- You see this?
- Mm-hmm.
This represents drug trafficking.
It brings in 400 billion dollars a year.
Next... arms trafficking.
And you know what is the third
most profitable kind of trafficking?
- Animal trafficking?
- Exactly.
I never would've guessed that.
It's organized criminal networks, mafia.
The rarer the animal, the pricier it is.
But there are anti-trafficking laws.
There are laws, but they're not enforced.
If you visit a prison,
you won't find any traffickers.
They bribe and threaten people
and make the poor
feel like they're worthless without them.
That's why
Saul didn't want Autumn back here.
They'll k*ll her if she tries to stop them
from catching a wild jaguar.
That's what k*lled her mother.
Hope.
Hope?
Hope!
Hope!
Hope, where are you?
I know it's you!
Hopie!
Hope.
Hope!
Hope!
Why won't you come see me?
If it is you.
Who are you?
Asha. Is your shoulder better?
Wow. Incredible.
The claw marks have almost disappeared.
There's a bus late afternoon.
My men and I will take you.
Work clearing the dam site.
2,000 pesos a day.
Thank you,
but we don't need your help.
My boss asked me to tell you
that she didn't particularly appreciate
your little protest
at the airport the other day.
If you keep up your opposition to the dam,
you'll put all of your people in danger.
Mm?
Let's go to the bus now.
Only worn on special occasions.
I'm counting on you.
I have never been so touched
by such a gift.
Thank you.
I love you.
Promise me. Promise me you'll protect her.
I'll do everything I can.
Bye! Bye! Have a safe trip.
I didn't play soccer as a kid,
but I did wear the shin pads
all throughout my childhood.
It reminds me of that.
Autumn! Excuse me, sir,
we have an emergency!
Please stop! Autumn.
I will never ever abandon Hope. I'm sorry.
Don't. Don't you dare. Don't.
No! Dang it! Dang it! Dang it!
Stop the car. You gotta stop the car now!
Stop the car! You gotta stop the car!
Stop the car!
Take us back. Take us back.
Take us back to where she jumped.
She jumped. She jumped.
Get out. Get out.
She jumped off back there. She jumped.
- No. No.
- Get out.
No. No, no!
- She jumped out of the car. Sir!
- Get out. Get out.
Get your hands off me!
J-- Thank you. I-- Autumn!
- Autumn!
- Oh, that's mine.
- That's mine. That's mine.
- You're not taking my--
You--
Autumn!
Autumn.
Kitten.
Kitten. Kitten. Kitten.
Kitten. Kitten.
Hope.
My love.
I knew it was you.
Hi. You're so big.
Lost our forever
I hope you feel free
Remember the highlights
And now you understand me
See is no sense
You'll never posses her
You'll never posses her
Autumn!
- Why are you still here?
- Something about wings.
- What?
- Someone is sh**ting at us.
Seriously, I'm not deaf. Come on.
- She went that way.
- No, no, no. No way. I'm not--
running after a jaguar!
Come on. Come on.
I think she jumped off here.
- You think so?
- Yeah.
No. No way.
No, I am not jumping!
For crying out loud.
Who the hell are those guys?
Wow. That's the first time
I heard you curse.
They're poachers.
They're after Hope.
- Do you believe me now?
- I believed you right from the start,
but I'm scared to death.
And now?
Oh, I'm still scared as all hell,
but at least I know why.
It's reassuring.
I love your kind of crazy.
Come on.
- I wanted to protect you, but--
- The jungle's her domain.
She's the one protecting us.
I'm not at all reassured.
She's my friend. She won't eat you.
I think.
But you're not 100% sure?
Oh, it's even worse than I thought.
I'm never gonna be able to--
- Ooh.
- Look, you have to imitate her.
See?
She's drinking and eating.
Okay. Okay.
That means we can drink too.
Now she's moving away from the water.
What does that mean?
It means bad news.
Let's get out of here.
- It's a Pythonidae.
- Who cares what it is? Move it!
It coils itself around its prey
and drags it underwater to drown it.
It doesnt chew,
it swallows its prey whole--
Ms. Shymore, please, not now!
- Now!
- It can unhinge its jaw,
which means it can swallow a sheep. Oh!
Oh, I can't. I can't. I-I don't know how.
Okay, put the arch of your foot
on the trunk, okay?
And then grab the vine above you.
- Okay.
- Okay. Go. Go!
I can't. You climb up first.
That's my problem. Climb.
No.
Try and catch the vine.
Okay, now climb.
I can't.
- Yes, you can!
- I need to work on my upper body strength.
Come on! You can!
- She saved my life.
- I noticed.
- I mean, it's incredible.
- I was there.
- Remember?
- Mm-hmm.
What's the matter with you?
A glitch in your operating system?
Oh, sorry for thinking it's incredible.
Just a little further. Almost there.
- Autumn.
- Yeah.
I'm terrified!
- Tell me a story.
- Um... Um...
Thank you.
We're gonna protect you.
We're gonna find that corridor.
Poachers won't be able to get near you.
You'll be safe. Now that I'm here.
We're together. Remember?
Is that where you wanna take her?
The wildlife corridor?
Yes. She can stay in her natural habitat,
but she'll be protected by eco-guards.
Good.
That's a great idea.
Okay. Let's go.
Wow.
Oh, like a jaguar.
Okay.
- Guess we'll sleep here.
- Excuse me?
Wedge yourself between two branches.
You'll be fine. Good night.
Thirty feet above ground
with a jaguar for company. Of course.
I'm sure it'll be a good night.
Sweet dreams to you too.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, it's either that or you can go down
where there are men
who'd probably k*ll their own mothers
to get their hands on Hope.
Not to mention the wild animals
who'd very much enjoy
having you for dinner.
I know where I'm staying. Good night.
I've never met anyone like you.
Me neither.
Well, I meant it as a compliment.
So did I.
Look, people need to know
what's going on here.
And they will know because you'll be
teaching it to their children.
Humans did not weave the web of life.
We are a mere thread in that web.
Whatever we do to the web,
we do to ourselves.
- Did I get it right?
- Yeah, exactly.
- Well, I won't sleep a wink tonight.
- Mm-hmm.
I won't. I'm telling you.
Mm...
Hey. No.
I never told you
I could run to the stars
Before the morning glow
I'll come to you with scars
I will go on this path
No matter where it flows
I'm not afraid
I'll follow what I know
Mm-mm-mm...
Hold on to what you are
Believe yourself to reach the stars
Trust your heart it lights the way
Never give up or go astray
Autumn. Autumn.
Oh, my God.
You look like Kurt Cobain in a skirt.
- Autumn, there are the poachers.
- What?
Of course, why didn't I think of that?
- Stay out of sight.
- Yeah.
But what are you gonna do with that thing?
You're gonna use it as a blowgun?
Get down, I said.
Autumn.
I've never wanted to risk my life
for a berry before, but...
I'm so hungry, Autumn.
This looks like...
lunch.
We've been walking for hours.
Are you sure you know where we're going?
Yes, we have to keep heading north.
But we're not headed north.
We're headed south.
West.
Okay. I'm gonna be honest,
I'm a little lost.
I've been following Hope, kind of.
- A little bit.
- A little lost?
It's a lot of lost, Autumn.
In the jungle, that's--
just dandy.
And you think that's funny?
Dandy. Nobody even says--
My grandma doesn't even say that anymore.
- Ow.
- Hey, hey, what's wrong?
What's wrong? What's that?
Come on, grab onto me.
Put your arm around me.
It's okay. Got you.
I got you. You're gonna be okay.
You're gonna be okay.
Okay.
Okay. You good?
- Yeah.
- Okay. Where does it hurt?
- There. It's the leg and foot.
- This one?
Yeah.
- Ow. Ow! Ow!
- I'm sorry.
Okay. Why didn't you tell me, Autumn?
It didn't hurt, at first.
- Isn't that dandy?
- You're silly.
- Is it bad?
- No, you're gonna be fine.
Okay. That's good.
- I'm gonna be right back.
- Okay.
- Okay?
- Okay.
Be right back.
Hope?
Hopie?
Oh. Yes.
Thank you.
Ow. Ow.
How is it?
Fine.
I'm gonna make the same bandage Or did.
Sorry about Kitten.
I was at home one night.
A few years ago.
When I heard tires screeching
outside my door.
A few moments later...
the cat flap in my door moved.
And an injured hedgehog
made its way into my house.
One of his legs had been crushed
by the car.
He just...
looked at me.
With his cute little nose.
Tiny eyes.
I called the vet.
They said if I didn't bring him in
right away, he'd die.
So...
I left my house...
for the first time in two years.
He was saved.
And I found the strength
to find a teaching job.
My passion.
But I've never been able
to leave the house without him.
Maybe from now on,
you won't be able to do without me.
I'm sure he's fine.
I'm sure he found himself a nice
little corner to live in the jungle.
Yeah.
Get some rest.
Okay?
You are Wonder Woman.
What does Asha mean?
It means hope.
- Hey.
- Mm-hmm.
She knows.
The only thing I know...
is that we don't know.
Hey, stop.
She wants me to follow her.
Put me down.
Welcome.
So, what do we have?
Fifty thousand parrots are here,
but we barely made it
a thousand spider monkeys this week.
A thousand? That's ridiculous.
That's not-- That's not what we agreed to.
You know we always deliver.
- We'll make it through the week.
- Mm.
I should hope so 'cause I don't pay you
to drink water and make friends.
- You know what I'm talking about?
- I know what you pay me for.
This is where
you've been leading us, Hope?
Working hard?
Right from the start.
- What do you have for me?
- Baby crocodile.
Nice.
Good work, huh?
No! No! Don't sh**t, please!
Autumn!
That's my jaguar.
Go get her.
Hold your fire, guys.
Let's go get the boss that jaguar.
Follow me.
Time to sleep, jaguar.
No!
Go get the girl. Go, go!
No.
We have her.
The jaguar will be leaving the country
as soon as possible.
Please tell our client.
Following in your mother's footsteps.
My goodness, you have grown.
I'm sorry, my dear,
but business is business.
No! No! No!
- Get on.
- I don't trust you.
It's way too far, you'll never get there.
- Get on.
- Fine.
But I'm driving, get in the back.
- Come on! Move. Move. Move.
- All right.
- Okay, hold on.
- Yeah.
- You're holding?
- We're good. Yeah.
Oh, no!
Got it. I got it.
- Okay. Let's go.
- Yeah.
Hold on! Hold on!
I'll never leave you.
They won't hurt you, I promise.
It's not always true that moms
can come save us.
But you and me, we're together. Okay?
Nothing's going to separate us.
Okay?
I love you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
This way! This way!
What the hell's going on in there?
Hope and Autumn.
In the forest, with the poa--.
Taken prisoner and they got her
and there's traffickers
and there's--
And we're running out of time.
I'm sorry, my dear,
but business is business.
You know what, leave her.
She's more docile with the cat.
- Take that to Channel 31.
- Oh, please, will it ever stop.
We need help. Everybody in the region
watches this channel.
They will listen to a child's heart.
Where are they going?
They're going to the hacienda.
- How do you know that?
- Sorry, Dad.
- I just wanted to buy myself a phone. I--
- Get dressed and take us there.
I wanna meet the person
that taught you self-control.
I'm disappointed in myself.
This is my failure.
Go, now. Hurry there.
The hacienda. You'll remember.
- I--
- Don't listen to your fears. Go!
Channel 31?
Sorry. This is an emergency.
This is Autumn Edison.
A young girl from here.
Maybe you remember her name
because her mom was k*lled
by animal traffickers.
Right now,
Autumn is in danger, risking her life
for the love of a jaguar.
At this very moment,
Autumn is locked in a truck
with her jaguar,
headed for the hacienda.
If we don't do something...
Autumn will be k*lled.
Whose side are you on?
This isn't just about protecting animals
in the rainforest,
this is about protecting humanity.
It's-- It's a race against time.
You, you believe that the traffickers
are helping you feed your family?
But nothing
could be further from the truth.
They are destroying
our children's futures.
But you have the power to take action.
Together,
we are the first generation
with a clear understanding
o-of the value of the natural world
and the effects
that our actions have on it.
We may also be the last generation
capable of turning things around.
This...
is a defining moment in history.
An unprecedented window of opportunity
that will soon be lost, forever.
You have the power to change your destiny.
Don't be afraid.
This young girl...
is showing you the way.
Open your eyes.
Whoa. Stop.
This is as far as you guys go.
What the hell is this?
Easy. Easy.
Get rid of them. That's an order.
Don't move.
- Holster your weapons!
- This doesn't have to get ugly.
Okay, we can work something out here.
- Right? Do you like money? I have money.
- Put your g*ns down!
Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!
- You did it.
- We did it.
Come, come. Form a barrier, both sides.
Autumn? You won.
You did it. You really made it happen.
Thank you. Thank you.
You're the best teacher
in the entire world.
We did it, Hope.
Thank you.
You were right, Autumn. You were right.
Never abandon your ideals.
Nothing is impossible.
Hope, wait for me.
Oh, Kitten.
Oh, it's a miracle.
Kitten, my baby.
Mom.
Would you tell Dad that I'm sorry?
I feel so bad about scaring him.
And lying to him.
Disappointing him sometimes.
Disappointed? Now, hold on.
You've never disappointed me,
not even once.
Your mom would be so proud of you.
All of her best qualities
have become your strengths.
Oh.
Would you also tell him that,
even though he really can't cook,
and he's terrible
at making you feel better
when you've had a nightmare,
that he's the best dad ever.
Tell him I'm proud to be his daughter.
Tell him I love him.
More than anything.
Come here.
Okay, Ellie, yeah.
I understand.
We're gonna stay here.
Together.
All of us.
This is where we belong.
Really?
Yes.
Yes.
I will go on this path
No matter where it flows
I'm not afraid
I'll follow what I know
Mm-mm-mm...
Hold on to what you are
Believe yourself to reach the stars
Trust your heart it lights the way
Never give up or go astray
I feel the warmth from the earth
Below my feet
Hope, you're safe now.
Come walk away with me
Before it's time to weep
I'm not afraid of them
Believe me we can learn
Until the end of time
Together we'll be one
Mm-mm-mm...
Where are you going? Where are you going?
Hold on to what you are
Believe yourself to reach the stars
Trust your heart it lights the way
Never give up or go astray
There you go.
I never told you
I could reach into the stars
Before the morning glow
I'll come to heal your scars
We can take this path
No matter where it flows
Let's not be afraid
We'll follow what we know
Mm-mm-mm...
Hold on to what you are
Believe yourself to reach the stars
You're crazy.
Trust your heart it lights the way
Never give up or go astray
- Come, come.
- Yeah, yeah.
