S01E02: Nightfall
Lost in the forest, the survivors try to gather some wood to start a fire. Will catches a glimpse of himself on Pia's hand mirror and notices that he has a strange simbol painted on his forehead. They search for food and find that someone or something is stalking them, but it turns out to be just a wild pig. Soon later they come across Marcel DaSilva, another survivor of the crash. Marcel has a deep knowledge on how to survive in the forest. He tells them that they must find a river and follow its course to the sea. It will be difficult, he says, but eventually they will find their way back to the civilization. However, moments later Marcel is bitten by a poisonous snake and dies. The survivors decide to go on with his plan anyway. Will sees a misterious blond man who has in his forehead the same simbol he has in his, but the man quickly disapears. When he tells the others, they think that what he saw was probably just an animal, but the blond man keeps following them...
Overview
Amazon was a syndicated television show created by Peter Benchley. It was developed by Canadian production companies Alliance Atlantis Communications & WIC Entertainment and German company Beta Film GmbH. The 22 episodes of the series were in first-run syndication between 1999 and 2000.
The drama series focused on the six survivors of a crashed airline flight in the Brazilian Amazon jungle. The group soon comes into contact with a Native American tribe, and relations are anything but friendly. The group is taken in by a mysterious tribe, who descended from 16th century British colonists who were lost in Amazon. Relations with the Chosen are tenuous at best. Most of the group escapes the Chosen only to stir up a hornets nest with a tribe of cannibals, led by an insane American woman bent on domination of all the local tribes. The first season ended in a cliff-hanger, and a second season was never produced. The series retained sufficient interest that it was released on DVD in 2011.
A novelization of the 2-hour pilot was written by Rob MacGregor, and a mass-market paperback was released by Harper on 8 Aug 2000.
The German title was Amazonas - Gefangene des Dschungels.
