Go on.
Go.
Keep moving.
On your knees.
Did any of my brothers see you bring him?
No, sir.
But I felt something following me.
The Serpent doesn't come near me.
And I don't go near the Serpent.
Where did you find him?
He was washing clothes by the river.
I don't know where he was before, but I think he is close by.
Doctor?
Have you noticed that the more you look for an explanation in this jungle,
the further you get from the truth?
Maybe. But eventually, I will find it.
Tell me, Doctor.
What's keeping you from knowing my secret and finding glory?
-That's what I'm trying to figure out. -You're looking in the wrong place.
I will reveal to you the source of my power.
I can take you to the place where nature made me a saint.
So you do admit there's something in the jungle that you use?
I admit there's something in the jungle
that I can show you.
It's something that you'll want to see.
And why should I believe you?
You know, Doctor,
the people call me a saint, but no one really loves me.
My brothers fear me.
Now I can't please the only one who really deserves my attention,
my savior Father.
I am alone, Doctor.
Chosen One.
We all love you very much. Very much.
And what do you want for this?
Return Lúcia to me.
Lúcia hates you.
She hates me as well.
I just don't know who she hates more.
Perhaps.
But if there's something I've learned about you is that you have no scruples.
You're not the best person to judge anyone's character.
Bring Lúcia back to me.
And what makes you think I could even do that?
You can.
That's why I haven't told my brothers that you're here.
And if I do it?
Then I will show you my secret.
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
ONE MONTH LATER
Chosen One.
My symptoms are getting worse.
You have already cured the same disease in Damião.
So, please...
No.
You're like Angelina, Lúcia.
You are sacred.
No.
I'm really not.
I'm just a normal woman. I don't deserve any of this.
No, Lúcia.
Look at me.
Don't look towards the sky for answers, look at me.
Look into my eyes and tell me you dare to condemn me.
Lúcia,
I'm not the one who needs to look you in the eyes.
That is for the one who sentenced you to death.
There's your killer.
No, I am not dead yet.
To God, you are, Lúcia.
Lúcia.
If you can't cure her, at least let me try.
Use your science on her if you want to.
Lúcia is no longer the woman for me.
Lúcia, I can help you.
I have medicine here.
You've got to be kidding me.
Let's go, Lúcia.
The doctor stays here.
Which of your messages have I ignored, Father?
Why hast Thou forsaken me?
What are you going to do?
Shut up. You're already hanging by a thread.
What do you mean? I did what you asked me.
So, keep obeying and keep your mouth shut!
Brother.
-This is urgent, you're very weak. -What does it matter, Santiago?
My Father has closed His heart to his son on Earth.
-I held up my end, damn it. -Oh, you sure did.
Do you think that I, the Chosen One, would ask you
to transform a healthy body into a sick one, you idiot?
I fight disease.
Or maybe you are not as powerful and beloved as you think.
Maybe you can't accept that Lúcia only came back
because she had no choice.
You're blind. The months you spent in the jungle
have destroyed what was left of your poor soul.
He spent months in our jungle and I didn't know?
The doctor hid beyond our borders, Santiago.
In the Serpent's land.
And the Serpent didn't find you? It's impossible.
There was no Serpent there.
Your accomplice, Damião, was the Serpent's prisoner.
He saw the evil that surrounds us.
Oh, really?
Then I guess I was finally luckier than him at something.
No.
Maybe the Serpent just didn't see you as a threat,
because the kingdom of evil lives in you!
Brother,
maybe he contaminated the doctor to please the enemy.
Santiago, look at him.
Do you think he can come up with such a plan?
He's weak.
The Chosen One is right.
I don't want him to die before he tells me his secret.
You will discover the truth.
And when this happens,
you will choose your punishment for yourself.
Santiago, give him the truth.
What does he mean by that?
-You're getting what you came for. -Where are you taking me?
Damião...
Why did this happen to me?
What have I done to deserve this?
It's not your fault.
It's no one's.
Living here for the past months, I came to the conclusion
that the Chosen One is mentally unstable.
His instability is disguised by religious beliefs.
His moments of lucidity are becoming scarce.
First, my father.
Now, me.
What do you mean?
My father died because my mother refused to allow him a blood transfusion.
Why?
For the same reason you're all denying me a cure.
Fanaticism.
What does God
mean to you, Damião?
You know, back then,
before I got into college and considered becoming a doctor,
I used to keep a lookout for the police in the slums.
I kept wondering, "How long am I going to have to live here?"
I had a friend who died at 14.
They said God was watching over me, guiding my path.
It's one of the most religious places on Earth, you know?
People were always praying.
I said to myself, "I have to get out of this life."
I came home and I saw my mom was crying by the fridge.
She was pouring water in the milk.
That's how fucking poor we were.
Shit's tough, you know?
Milk with water is bitter, but it's not because of the taste.
It's because of the reason you have to mix it.
The next day, I was back being a lookout.
Every day, every month.
And when I got my first payment, I bought my mom a gallon of milk.
I said, "Mom, you don't have to water down the milk today."
She smiled at me.
Like I had changed the world.
At that moment, when I saw my mom catch a break,
it was then when I thought, "Man, this must be God."
You know?
That's when I decided I didn't want that life anymore.
I wanted to be bigger than that life. I wanted to save lives.
So if you ask me how I got here or what I am doing here,
I'll say it's because of her.
But if you told me it was God who guided my path,
I wouldn't deny it.
Because all I ever wanted was
for my mom to smile at me as a doctor,
the same way she did on that day.
Heart
Just like this
Solitude
You left me...
Dear God, protect me.
No!
Not the Minhocuçu! For God's sake!
Why the hell did I come here by myself?
I never understood why Aguazul marked the jungle with this symbol.
My mom told me they marked the trees recently.
Actually, it was right after they cured you
and closed themselves to the outside world.
It had something to do with keeping the balance.
But why did we stop here, love?
You know why, Ana.
Good afternoon, Silvino.
Good afternoon, Mrs. Cleuza.
Why is the sun considered darkness?
Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
That is the first question we ask the teenagers at the campsite.
You guys are all crazy.
What's that?
Drink it.
Not until I know what it is.
It's the truth, Doctor.
Isn't that what you came here for?
So, drink up.
-The old lady is really sick. -She'll have to wait.
Attention.
Your suffering is about to end.
The Chosen One will receive you all this evening
to finish what he started.
-Enough. -All of it.
Is this some kind of hallucinogen?
Drink, Doctor.
Why is the sun considered night?
The sun is day, and the night is night, damn it.
Even a child knows.
Without light, it's all darkness.
What do you want me to say?
Sun is darkness because you can't separate night from day?
You see, Doctor?
That's it.
That is the balance.
Drink.
Hey, lady.
This way. Don't fall behind.
Wrap it up, Damião.
The Chosen One is resuming the healing, and he needs you.
Rest, Lúcia.
I'll be back soon to check on you.
-Lúcia, now is not the time. -He has to listen to me.
-Damião... -No, stop it.
You are all the same. You all deserve each other.
Stop it!
Let me go!
-Get off me! No! -Quiet.
-Let go of me! -Go, Damião.
I didn't expect this from you, Damião.
Chosen One?
Chosen One, may I record your miracles now?
Journalist,
do you want to see my miracles?
They are not mine, they are my Father's.
But will you let me record them?
I have the feeling that you came looking for a saint,
but you only found a servant, right?
I don't think so.
I wouldn't waste my time on just a servant.
Against the evil of this world
God is all we need
Hey.
There's no evil He won't cure For He is full of mercy
What's your name?
Angelina.
What's your part in the ritual?
Angelina?
I help the Chosen One
reach the serpent that exists inside every disease.
So you have a special relationship with the Chosen One?
A sacred relationship.
How did you end up here in Aguazul?
You're a foreigner, right?
What brought you here, Angelina?
Angelina? Go do your job.
Not everyone feels comfortable in front of a camera.
Do you feel comfortable?
Damião, right?
How did you know?
I saw a news piece when you reappeared a few months back.
You were one of the doctors who came for the vaccination.
Right?
Yes.
What is this blue liquid?
Something that doesn't concern you.
Don't you think it's incomprehensible for a doctor to participate in all this?
I am a human before being a doctor.
I doubted before.
Then I experienced it firsthand.
Are you saying you yourself were healed?
His love for us is immense Yes, he does heal
Can you tell me more about this?
-Please? -Angelina.
I want them all here kneeling before me.
Right now!
Step forward.
Come closer.
Kneel before the Chosen One.
I want to feel your lives.
Your fears.
Your desires.
Your energy.
The flesh.
Give them the flesh.
Eat it.
No questions asked.
Didn't you come for my Father's cure?
So show your faith.
The relics!
Do you submit yourself to the mercy of the Holy Chosen One,
-with honor and faith? -Yes!
No, Angelina!
Do it stronger, with energy!
Let my sleeping Father hear you.
Do you submit yourself to the mercy of the Holy Chosen One,
with honor and faith?
-Yes! -Yes!
Do you believe in the Chosen One?
-Yes! -Yes!
-Do you believe in the Chosen One? -Yes.
Yes? Do you believe in me?
-Yes! -Do you?
Then be healed!
-What is your sickness? -My liver feels weird.
-Can you feel it? -Yes!
It's divine power.
Can you feel the power of God healing you through my hands?
Enough, please.
-No. -Enough.
Enough, please.
Please.
Do you understand now?
Faith also hurts.
God hurts.
Angelina!
Nobody.
Did you know that, Santiago?
Nobody.
Nobody what, Doctor?
Nobody has faith in me.
The Chosen One?
It's funny how everyone believes that sucker.
That dude can feed you to the alligators or throw you in a well,
but everyone keeps on believing in him.
As for me, Enzo,
even if I do everything right, you know who's going to have faith in me?
Nobody.
Damião is a self-righteous smart-ass.
He doesn't believe me.
Asshole.
And Lúcia...
Lúcia thinks she can judge me.
That woman...
messes with the hospital, fights with the drunk doctor,
with the Chosen One, fucks Mateus.
And then fights with Mateus, fights with the police, fights with me.
She fucking fights with everybody.
And that's why she deserves to die?
What?
What did you say?
You were saying that the doctor deserves to die.
No, look.
Don't put words in my mouth.
Oh, I know what you're doing.
Listen to me,
Lúcia deserves a lot of things,
but she doesn't deserve to die.
Again, doctor.
Where is the balance in all of this?
What balance? Damn it. What are you talking about?
Santiago.
The Chosen One needs you.
Drink up to the last drop.
Is this what you wanted, Father?
Let her rest in peace at long last.
Don't tell me what to do, you piece of shit.
Angelina needs urgent medical attention.
You don't get it.
She can't receive medical treatment. It'd be like giving him medicine.
Let go!
We must take her to the church.
Vicente, Juvenal! Get the outsiders out of here. It's over.
If you want to help, make sure the journalist leaves with them.
Stupid!
Let go of me!
What will be of Angelina?
Come on, tell me!
And what about that woman in the hospital?
Is she a slave? What?
Vicente, take her away.
-Don't touch me. -Then go.
What do you want, Damião?
Chosen One,
I have no doubts about what you are capable of doing.
I just want you to know there are ways to keep Angelina alive.
I understand.
I also love Angelina, Damião.
But when my first Life came to me,
she also got sick
and I wanted to heal her.
What stopped you?
Medicine.
Your friend, Dr. Lorenzo,
discovered I can't heal my Lives without getting contaminated.
Lorenzo doesn't deserve to be called a doctor.
Maybe that's why he is the only doctor that I trust.
Pray for Angelina and Lúcia.
There is nothing left I can do for them.
Silvino.
What happened?
-Didn't he heal them? -Don't ask questions.
Take these people away and don't bring any more.
What do you mean? She isn't using her crutches.
She wasn't sick. She's a journalist who tried to fool the Chosen One.
-Off you go. -Let's go, everyone.
Including you, lady.
Let's go.
Pick up the pace.
My dear Lord!
What now?
Have you taken the doctor to the basement?
Yes.
So? Has he discovered his destiny?
He has drunk the truth.
Soon, he will be able to see everything clearly.
Help him.
Guide the man.
You okay, Doctor?
I have witnessed the imbalance.
Really?
The doctor made his patient sick, so his patient will die.
And why does it break the balance?
Because the doctor can't cure the patient he made sick.
And what does the doctor have to do to fix this?
The doctor must also get sick.
Watch your head.
Did something happen to you?
It seems the Chosen One's power was too much for him.
You would like that, right?
To tell the world the Chosen One makes people sicker.
It's not a question of whether he heals people or makes them sick.
They only care about the story and the truth, Silvino.
So, you fool people to find the truth?
Look at this man.
Does he look healthy?
Take a good look, Silvino.
How is this a miracle?
You can interpret things as you wish, ma'am.
-Now, get on the boat. -What about the women?
Did you know he has women locked up?
Silvino, those women are dying for him.
Enough. Get on the boat.
Where are you going? What are you doing?
I came out here to find the truth.
No, you have to come back with me. Those are orders from Santiago!
That's exactly why I am going back. I have to know the truth.
Leave her, Silvino. Let's just go.
Everyone, stay on the boat. I will be right back.
I failed you.
No.
You were the most faithful.
The most loyal.
It's my duty to find you a new Life.
Like how the last one found me.
Lúcia was my new Life.
Lúcia never was your new Life.
She doesn't have the looks, she doesn't have the blood.
She's a doctor.
Her blood was always tainted with medicine.
She was.
Father brought her here for a reason.
As a messenger.
Do you think God would've allowed her poisoning
if He wanted her for you?
Give me a chance.
I can find you a new woman.
You would die trying.
I know I can do it.
Only a Life can bring a new Life.
Yes?
Yes, only a Life can bring me a new Life.
Oh, my God!
How could I have been so blind?
Has my arrogance kept me from hearing you, Father?
What are you doing?
Nothing. Rest.
Are you taking Enzo's medicine?
Yes.
There's nothing I can do for you now,
but this might be useful for something else.
You know what? I give up.
It's impossible to understand you.
Lúcia, can I ask you something?
Why haven't you ever asked about Mateus?
Did you forget what he did to me?
He gave me up to his crazy brother.
I don't have much to ask, do I?
It's hard to justify his decision,
but I think he was only trying to do what he thought was right.
You are really starting to side with the nutcases, aren't you?
Perhaps.
At any rate, I think he will be happy to know that you're back.
Or not.
What are you doing here?
-I was asked to keep an eye on her. -Get this man out of here.
No, Doctor. He's here to re-establish the balance.
Help me. I can't see straight.
-Stop it! -I need some of her blood.
-What for? -It doesn't matter. Help!
-Let me go. -Doctor.
The doctor realized that he needs to share your fate.
No, let me go!
-Quiet! -Stop it!
Now what?
Inject me. Isn't that what you want?
I made Lúcia sick. I need to have the same fate as her.
Inject me. That's what everybody wants.
I am not going to inject you with this.
I am not you.
Do it.
You do it then.
I've ruined the balance. I need to restore it myself.
I've ruined the balance...
Put that away.
The balance can wait, Doctor.
What are you doing, Brother?
Listening to my Father, Santiago.
Like never before.
Lúcia...
God had decided on the course of these events long ago,
but I couldn't see it.
I beg you.
Please forgive me.
Forgive me for not seeing the purpose of your return.
Are you going to cure me?
Yes.
Yes, I'll cure you.
Even though your blood is no longer right for my body,
you're still my messenger.
That's why you still have your responsibilities.
This is my Father's will, Lúcia.
You will find me a substitute to keep my body alive.
Angelina is too weak to do it.
You can't possibly want me to...
You will bring me my new Life, Lúcia.
You will find a pure woman,
and you'll bring her to me
so that she can give me her blood.
Do it, and I will cure you.
