You will bring me my new Life, Lúcia.
I can't bring anyone here against their will.
Lúcia.
No matter how hard it might be,
you must do this to save yourself.
You know this mutation of Zika is way more aggressive.
You don't have much time.
You have to look at the bigger picture.
What bigger picture?
How fucking brainwashed are you guys?
I should be talking to the police.
You already talked to the police.
What are you going to tell them this time?
That you had to kidnap someone for a cure?
Do you think they're going to believe that?
Maybe you came back here for a reason.
The Chosen One took us in.
Cured me.
He gave us shelter when we needed it.
Remember?
All is done to keep the balance and follow the Divine message.
I had no idea you were such a fanatic.
There are a lot of things that you don't know.
Can you sense the truth, Lúcia?
Can you feel your higher purpose by being here with me?
I can.
Maybe I can sense it more now.
More?
This is necessary not only for my salvation...
it's also necessary to be at your side.
Yes.
By my side.
Until the end.
But first, look at me.
Look at the state I'm in.
Can't you see there's no balance around us?
I won't be able to stand soon. So please save me.
Just heal me.
And I promise you I'll honor your request.
In this case, my dear...
you're just going to have to act faster.
No. I won't be able to do it in this condition.
I'm also sick, Lúcia.
Without a new Life, I won't be able to survive either.
This is our beautiful Divine bond.
If you fail, we both die.
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Let go of me!
What are you doing to her?
What is this journalist still doing here?
She ran from the boat.
Listen up.
Many people know I am here.
Including the newspaper I work for. So don't you dare touch me.
My name is Eva Cordeiro. I'm a journalist, and I can help you.
Tell me.
What's going on here?
Are you being held against your will?
Tell me.
No.
No one's threatening me.
I'm here because I believe in the sanctity of the Chosen One.
Satisfied?
I understand your concern, journalist.
So far, you've only seen crisis, pain, and disease.
But my Father wants you to bear witness to something different.
Some of the things that take place here may be considered illegal.
Silvino,
-take the other outsiders away. -Right away.
But come back.
Lúcia needs you first thing in the morning.
Tomorrow, you will see how beautiful my world is, journalist.
You will see it on our children's faces,
returning from their journey of faith.
And also on the young people leaving.
We got off to a bad start, but it can all end well.
I'm certain you were brought here by God to complete Lúcia's message.
Find her a room, Santiago,
and follow my wishes as soon as the sun rises.
Brother,
it's not time to bring the kids back yet.
They are not ready.
On the contrary, Santiago.
It's the perfect time.
Man, what the hell was in that stuff you gave me?
This is worse than a hangover.
I should go with Lúcia tomorrow and find you a new Life.
No, not you.
You have proven to be a great member of our community, Damião.
I insist for you to go to tomorrow's celebration.
-But she can't go by herself. -Silvino will go with her.
And so will you.
Why me?
I did everything you asked me to.
You have upset the balance.
All of this started after Lúcia's message.
And you...
will help restore the balance.
Just as the truth showed you.
He'll try to run away the first chance--
He'd be the last of you to even think about it.
You want your glory, don't you, Doctor?
Don't you want to know what we hide in the jungle?
Well then,
the situation here is quite simple.
You help me find a new Life, and I'll save you.
You help her find me a new Life, and I'll give you what you want.
If you fail, Lúcia and I will die.
And you'll never know the source of my healing powers.
The doctor is back.
She truly is the forbidden fruit from Eden.
Because of her, Mateus lives at the campsite.
Santiago is in Aguazul.
Angelina can't go look for a new Life.
And the Chosen One is healing outsiders.
Also,
a journalist has arrived in the village.
She's asking a lot of questions.
The balance has been broken.
It's a good time to set this whole circus on fire.
Oh, it's you.
What time is it?
Why do you have to wake me up in the middle of the night?
I was praying for the children.
Praying for the children? You, of all people?
Didn't you hear?
Hear what?
The Chosen One decided to send the children to the campsite early.
But that's not supposed to happen for another three months.
Yes.
That means your niece Paloma also leaves tomorrow.
How can anyone sleep here?
Do you understand now? Faith also hurts.
What the fuck?
God hurts.
Faith also hurts. God...
Yes?
Miss, the Chosen One doesn't want to start without you.
Okay. I'm on my way.
But next time, knock before you come in.
Brother,
you're not looking very well.
Where's the journalist?
I'm sorry, I was fixing my camera.
It got kind of damaged.
My cherished ones.
Do you know why you're all here?
What is the reason for our festivities?
Because we're leaving?
No, we celebrate the ones who are returning.
Listen to me, children.
You're going to the campsite
to learn I'm not only the holy one who heals and protects you.
I'm the path to the Divine.
So, go now...
So that one day I can celebrate you here.
Let's get on board, kids.
Let's go.
I can't say you didn't warn me, Silvino.
You told me to leave this place, and I didn't listen.
Doctor, in my life, I've learned that there are always three paths.
The right path, the wrong path, and the easy one.
The path we choose defines what kind of person we are.
And the doctor will always choose the right one.
So what am I doing here?
If one person is the price for the Chosen One to cure thousands,
why have any doubt?
Do you think Angelina regrets anything?
It was the same with all the others.
You are actually helping a woman sent here by God to find her destiny.
You'll have no problem finding the right person.
People come to the Pantanal from all over the world.
Do you know why his Lives are usually blond, foreign women?
According to the Chosen One,
it's because of their angelical aspect and pure blood.
My ass.
It's just that the family of foreigners
has a harder time finding them in the middle of nowhere.
Well, in any case, I will need you, Silvino.
Once again.
I'll be here, Doctor.
With the engine running and no judgment.
PARAGUAY RIVER VESSEL
I can't believe this place is still standing after all these years.
Good on Lorenzo for coming up with this.
Especially after everything that happened.
Even though it was a good decision, it pains me to remember why we did it.
I know it's still hard for you.
Don't you miss her, Brother?
She fulfilled the destiny given to her by my Father.
Are you finished?
This is the Serpent's territory, and I don't feel safe here.
Good.
Maybe now I'll stop having nightmares with them.
Goddamned Serpent.
It's all your fault.
Damn you.
Welcome.
Little Paloma.
-Brother. -Brother.
How are you?
Getting by.
I still don't understand why the kids had to come in such a hurry.
There's a journalist following the Chosen One around,
and he wanted to show her the good parts of Aguazul.
A journalist?
Our brother has decided to show himself to the world.
But he...
he shouldn't even have started healing again.
I don't know why all of this is happening.
Isaías,
Raquel.
That sin of yours nearly destroyed our balance.
But God was merciful.
So you may leave and follow your destiny.
What did they do?
They gave in to the temptation of the flesh.
The same one that lives in all of us.
You know that better than anyone.
Zulmira, Santiago.
Zulmira?
How could he do this to me?
Our brother knows what he's doing.
Does he?
You should change your attitude, Mateus.
Easy for you to say.
You're not the one who has to marry her.
Is that what you think? I have it easy?
I always have to do the dirty work because you can't.
Mateus can't do it because he is the favorite son.
The nice one, the handsome one, the Don Juan.
You can get all the love as long as there's me to be hated.
Ever thought about that?
How much easier would my life be if you didn't exist
and I didn't have to be compared to you?
Do you know how many women in Aguazul want to marry me, Mateus?
Not one!
I can't even dream about marrying one of them.
And I do everything I'm asked to do, Mateus.
I hunt, I shoot, I kill, I skin animals.
You name it, I do it.
I even wash animal blood from people's doorsteps.
But I've never slept with a woman.
Never!
Can you imagine?
A man my age, never knowing a woman's love?
You have no idea.
How many women have loved you?
How many, Mateus?
You can't even keep count of them all.
Now that the Chosen One wants you to marry one of them,
to honor her, be faithful and become an example to the community,
you want to walk away from your duty as a man.
You are kicking and screaming like a child,
saying that I have it easy.
Man up, kid.
And I will tell you what.
If it's that hard for you to make a sacrifice for your brothers,
then at least honor the name of our family
and do it for our beloved mother, who sacrificed herself the most.
So, you respect my mother.
Respect!
Don't be embarrassed, Brother.
You're now the priest fighting the Serpent.
Your mistakes have made you stronger and you're ready.
We were good at playing the roles we had, Brother.
Honestly, I'm not sure all these changes will do Aguazul any good.
The doctor disturbed the balance of the village when she arrived.
All that's left for us to do is to pray and do our best.
Once you're back in Aguazul,
you can have a normal life again.
Together.
Or apart, it doesn't matter.
As long as you obey the orders of the Chosen One.
You can go.
And you...
you have nothing else to learn here.
Life will teach you the rest.
May God bless the Chosen One.
We're leaving!
Come on, let's head out.
This is ecstasy, Eva.
True ecstasy.
-Is your camera recording this? -Yes.
Including every word that you're saying.
Against the evil of this world
God is all we need
There's no evil He won't cure
For He is full of mercy
The Chosen One does heal
His love for us is immense
Yes, he does heal
This symbol here.
It marks where the Chosen One's campsite ends
and where the Serpent's territory begins.
So your lives depend on the respect
that you show towards this limit.
Does the Serpent also respect the campsite territory?
He does. Of course, he does.
The balance of everything here depends on it.
Think of it like this.
The Serpent and the Chosen One are just like water and oil,
and they will always contradict one another.
The Serpent went into Aguazul once, didn't he?
He took that doctor from the church.
None of us witnessed that,
so we don't know if that's truly what happened.
Ever since the Chosen One came back to Aguazul
the Serpent wanders more freely around the jungle.
So you need to be extra careful.
Have you seen the Serpent, Mateus?
I have.
What's he like?
He's a force.
An evil force that lingers about with an appetite for destruction.
What does he look like?
He doesn't have a set face, you know?
He will change his face to reflect whatever he wants.
But don't worry.
If you're within the borders of our campsite,
you do not have to be afraid and you are free to walk around.
But it is forbidden to go beyond the limits of this symbol.
Do you understand? Only the Chosen One can go there.
-Mateus. -What is it?
Look over there.
My God.
Give me this.
Go. Take them back to the campsite now.
What are you doing here, Paloma?
I wanted to help you, sir.
I know you're very brave.
So just keep watch
while I put out the fire.
Brethren,
today I see that you left as children
and returned as adults.
But yet you still don't quite belong to my people.
You still haven't received the commandments of my Father.
Santiago.
Let's prepare for the induction.
Parents, please, over there.
Teenagers, make a line here.
That's it.
Our Father, through its Holy Son,
will assign each of you an order to fulfill.
The irrevocable duties that you will proudly carry out
for the rest of your lives.
José.
Even after your time in the forest,
it seems you still like to enjoy a good meal.
My Father commands you to follow your path.
You will be the baker of Aguazul
when Mr. Eugênio renounces his life.
Do you accept your calling with all your honor and faith?
I do.
Isaías.
Your father must have told you about the abundance of fish in Aguazul
on the day that you were born.
My boy.
You were a fisherman even before you came to this world.
And that's my Father's calling for you.
Do you accept your calling with all your honor and faith?
I accept.
Paulo.
Our artist.
Lorenzo.
Where were we?
Paulo.
Our artist.
What do you want?
Let's just say there's something I can only talk to you about.
Really? To me?
The thing is...
Silvino brought me something from town, so...
I thought you might enjoy it.
I can barely remember the last time I tasted this.
Let's just drink to a fresh start.
Well,
Angelina is stable.
There's not much else I can do for her now anyway.
Paloma?
Paloma!
He will return, you'll see.
He will return to the campsite in a panic.
You better go. There is a boat hidden somewhere near here.
Raquel.
When you arrived at the campsite,
you stared at your reflection on the river.
Remember?
On the bank of that river,
I saw you standing next to your future husband.
Who is he?
Our baker.
You'll marry our José.
What did you hear, girl? What did you hear?
Let me go, Mrs. Cleuza.
You're hurting me.
What did you see? Tell me.
Answer Mrs. Cleuza, Paloma.
Tell her what you saw.
Good times.
I liked it when I was single.
What about your women?
You keep chasing Angelina, damn it.
Move on.
Enjoy life away from here.
No! You want to kill him! You will kill him.
Calm down! I'm here to help you. Calm down.
Angelina,
you were the first person who helped me when I got here
and I didn't believe in the Chosen One. Now I believe in his power.
And you know I would never do anything to hurt you.
My blood. You can't!
Listen.
I'm not giving you medicine.
They're just vitamins.
They'll make your body stronger. That's it.
They'll allow you to keep helping the Chosen One.
It's not medicine?
Dr. Lorenzo is a coward.
He doesn't dare contradict the Chosen One, but I swear,
these vitamins are harmless.
No, I...
I have to die. It's written.
Where? Where is it written?
You don't have to die, Angelina.
You can keep being the Chosen One's Life forever.
Forever.
He won't have to kidnap women anymore.
Things will get better around here, Angelina.
We can change how others understand faith around here.
You're not lying to me, are you?
Look at me.
Do you think I am lying to you?
My head is still pounding.
I thought I would've recovered from the drugs they gave me by now.
So,
do you think any of them would do for that lunatic?
I don't think I have the courage to do it.
Well, you should find it.
Why don't you kidnap one of them?
Actually, you owe me that much.
Me?
If you were capable of injecting someone with a virus,
you're capable of kidnapping someone.
Anything for fame, right, Dr. Vergani?
Wait, where are you going?
I'm going to tell Silvino to stay close while you abduct our victim.
Listen, nothing is to be left unguarded.
Nothing! You have to protect that cabin with your life.
And what should I do with the children?
Take them with you everywhere. Don't leave anyone alone.
No one!
HOME OF THE HOLY CHOSEN ONE
Brother!
-Santiago. -What?
Where could I get a wide shot of the ceremony?
To capture the whole thing.
The bell tower.
But use the outside stairs.
You're not allowed to snoop inside the church.
I'll be right back, Brother.
If we say we're in love, the Chosen One has to understand.
It's my calling, Isaías.
You have to fish, I have to love José.
Let's run away.
We don't have to live like this, Raquel.
What are you saying, Isaías?
I'd rather be sick with you beside me
than stay here without you forever.
Santiago.
-No! -You prick.
I should throw you into the jungle.
Feed you to the Serpent for this heresy.
Look at me, you prick.
How dare you try to run away with her?
How dare you go against my brother's will? Our God's messenger?
Get out of here. Out of my sight, you bastard.
Get the fuck out of here.
Your mother's very disappointed with you, Raquel.
Aguazul is home to women of faith,
not promiscuous women.
He didn't know what he was saying, Santiago.
I know my fate is with José.
Go back to the ceremony and sit next to your groom.
Raquel.
I know the path of faith can be hard,
but it's necessary.
Go.
Santiago.
Are you crazy? What are you doing here?
Did you leave the campsite alone?
The enemy tried to burn down the cabin.
The Serpent?
How?
He didn't respect any of our boundaries.
No respect for truce, relics, nothing.
Nothing stopped him.
And worse, he had help.
Come.
She broke the last rule, Santiago.
So now, it's war.
