June watches in horror as a tribesman is drugged, his cerebellum pierced by a priest brandishing a ring with a sharp hook.

Before dying, Malla's mother gave her a secret powder, called nipé, which "slows the approach of death." Although Paul doubts Malla's claim, she demonstrates the powder's power in return for enough money to return to her tribe.
