-What do you want? -Drop it!
Holy shit!
Help me!
Easy.
Holy Mother!
Here. I got her.
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
I didn't know you were here, Mom.
Sometimes I miss having you at home so much, Zulmira.
Stop it, Mom.
I couldn't keep living with you guys at my age, right?
I have to take the reigns of my destiny.
If the Chosen One hasn't dreamt of my husband yet,
I probably won't have one.
Oh, Mom.
Don't be like that.
Despite it all, I am doing fine.
I know.
-I'm over this marriage thing anyway. -I know.
It's just that Dr. Lorenzo
thinks he might know what might be wrong with me.
Do you mean the bleeding?
The weight loss?
Honey, it's cancer.
In my uterus.
After I was blessed with you and your sisters,
it seems like God decided to punish me.
That's blasphemy, Mom!
God only gives blessings.
He gave us the Chosen One. He will take the cancer from you.
Dr. Lorenzo sent someone.
I know the Chosen One will cure me.
But if we were somewhere else,
my time would have come.
You're not going anywhere, Mom.
What happened?
Nothing. Just rest.
And remember, this is our secret for now, all right?
Why keep it a secret?
Didn't you say the Chosen One would be happy to have me here forever?
Yes, I did.
But first, you need to get better. Otherwise, it was all for nothing.
Do you promise you'll keep this between us for now?
Still chronicling the beauties of Aguazul?
Of course. It's a beautiful place.
Is everything okay?
Why wouldn't it be, Damião?
Exactly. Why wouldn't it be?
You wouldn't believe the incredible scenes I have been shooting here.
Chosen One, we need you.
Santiago, I'm busy right now.
The party is over.
I ask you all to excuse me.
Damião!
Give it to me.
Damião.
Damião!
Damião, give it to me. That's my work tool.
Give it back!
Give it to me.
What are you doing? Did you delete them?
You asshole. Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Listen, you were only authorized to tell the story you saw out here.
Not what you saw inside.
If I promise not to tell,
can you explain it to me?
Her very life depends on what I had to do in there.
What the hell were you thinking?
Do you have any idea what you might be destroying?
What are you talking about?
He's asking how dare you go into the cabin?
Cleuza,
the Serpent might have influenced you to try and destroy the cabin.
We won't blame you for that.
But you have to tell us what happened.
We need to know why the Serpent is doing this.
What's so funny?
You're afraid of him.
I'm not afraid of him.
Oh, really?
These two?
Vicente,
Tomás, Lorenzo.
You're always surrounded by people.
Surrounded by an entire camp.
But him...
He's just one man.
And still, you need an entire army around you.
He's not a man.
You're well aware of it.
Whatever he is,
it's enough to terrify you,
Chosen One.
What would Imaculada think if she saw you now?
Do you know what all this fear of yours makes me think?
Wouldn't it be curious?
What if I, who was at your birth,
was also there to watch you die?
My God, what have we done?
What's going to happen to this woman?
I'm dragging an innocent person to a terrible situation.
And it's all your fault.
It's all your fault, Enzo.
I may be cured, but I'm a criminal now. And for what?
For your fame, your glory. You're pathetic.
You fucking asshole!
Cleuza.
How could you?
You know he uses lies as a weapon.
So do all of you.
You're no saint.
You can't heal.
What are you saying, you demon?
Calm down, Brother. She doesn't know what she's saying.
And do you?
You should've been protecting the cabin, but you weren't.
Because you had started the ceremony ahead of time.
You wanted to show off to that journalist.
You wanted to show Aguazul to the world.
This never would've happened if I were here.
I was against it.
It was you.
You should have been at the campsite.
The Serpent only fears you.
Don't you dare talk like that to your Chosen One.
I am not talking to the Chosen One. I am talking to my brother!
Who happens to be the Chosen One.
Listen,
if either of you cares about the Aguazul that we know,
not the one that you pass off to outsiders,
go back to the campsite right now.
Let it be said.
Here, lies are also used.
Santiago.
Bring the survivor over.
Why do you want to get him involved?
I want Damião here.
Now!
Damião, I don't want to diminish anyone's fate.
But I do have a job to do.
Sooner or later, whether you like it or not,
the world is going to know what happens in Aguazul.
-And you want all the glory for that. -Why not?
What else is it that you need?
You've seen a miracle, screaming, chaos.
With the material you already have, the press would go wild.
What else are you looking for?
What are you doing here, Doctor?
I'm no longer a doctor here.
That's not what I saw in the church.
You wouldn't understand.
So that's it.
What?
Yes. That's what I still need to know.
I want to understand why you are still here.
I told you already, I--
Damião, I already know what you're going to say,
but I'm convinced that there's more.
Something that you know or that you want here
and that you still haven't told anybody. You know?
Do you know what I don't understand?
There's a guy here thought to be the Chosen One by God
walking around working miracles.
Why would you focus on me?
Because while his story might be good, yours might even be better.
-Really? How come? -Yes.
Because his might be fake, and yours isn't.
Besides, he does some really weird stuff
that doesn't make any sense.
Like what?
Damião.
The Chosen One wants to see you.
We'll talk about it later.
Sit.
You said you heard a voice speaking with the Serpent
when you were his prisoner.
Was it Cleuza?
Yes.
Maybe she's been giving him information for years!
Is the beast that threatens us messing with your head, Cleuza?
It told you I am the enemy, didn't it?
But it did so using my face.
Imitating my voice.
You will be kept in isolation for your own good.
And for ours.
As for you, Damião, why did you not mention this before?
I couldn't be sure until now.
I couldn't accuse her of something I might have hallucinated.
I was drugged. Everything was confusing--
Honestly...
I don't think you can be a part of Aguazul anymore.
What do you mean? Calm down.
Wait.
Give me one more chance to remind you that I am on your side.
There is one more thing you need to know.
Are you lost, Zulmira?
No, I'm just looking for Damião.
You like to harass me even more when Mateus is away.
What do you mean?
You know exactly what I mean.
You're the one who's afraid of Mateus coming back.
I'm not afraid of Mateus.
What exactly is your problem with him?
Is it because you think you'd be a better leader for Aguazul?
Or is it something else?
I'd be a better leader than he is.
But not just a better leader.
At least I know that my interests and Aguazul's are the same.
Mateus is a good man.
A fair man.
And he wouldn't like to know that you're betraying his trust.
Betraying?
It's funny to hear you defend him.
After everything he's done to you.
Santiago and the Chosen One will hear about this.
It'll be your word against mine.
The word of Mateus' wife.
Don't forget that, Vicente.
Chosen One.
Did you dream about me?
Yes, Zulmira.
And according to the messages I've received from my Father,
it seems you will no longer be the spinster in your family.
Zulmira was blessed.
Because she will become a member of my family.
Zulmira is promised to my brother.
Mateus.
What just happened, Mom?
A blessing, my child.
A blessing.
But why Mateus?
He is coveted by all these other women.
And since when is that a bad thing?
God was kind to you, my daughter. Make the most of it.
It doesn't seem like God wrote this story.
Don't speak nonsense.
Mateus is an honored man.
He's always looked after our village.
Yes, he is handsome.
But he is also religious and loyal to his family.
And those are the traits that you'll be marrying.
Don't worry about others.
The moment he accepts the word of the Chosen One,
he will never betray you.
Yes.
The word of a woman cheated on.
Against the word of a good-for-nothing.
-Did you see that? -No.
Pay attention to his hand.
Do you see it now?
He was holding something before he got close to that guy.
So what was it?
A piece of meat or something.
It's an old con artist trick.
See it? Look.
He got the tumor out.
But it was the same tumor
he already had in his hand before he even touched the sick guy.
But the man was cured, wasn't he?
It seems that way.
But it could have been induction.
No.
No, he was cured.
The Chosen One wasn't just acting for you.
Then why would he use such a cheap trick?
That's a mystery you'll no longer be able to solve.
No, you've got to be kidding me.
You've got to be kidding me.
I can prove it!
You can come.
Let's go.
I've erased everything. All the videos.
There are more videos on her phone.
She probably has it.
Go on. Delete it now.
Santiago?
-There's something you should know. -Santiago.
-Don't believe anything she-- -Mateus?
Are you back?
For the time being.
I didn't expect to see you again so soon.
I know.
Help me here!
Lúcia?
What is going on?
Help.
Mateus.
What happened, Silvino?
Didn't you know?
Know what?
Our brother has refused to cure the doctor.
You what?
You refused to cure Lúcia?
Is this true, Brother?
Yes, Brother. It's true.
I refused to cure her earlier,
but I will cure her now.
Are you sure, Mom?
What saddens me the most
is knowing how much you will miss me.
But I feel as if there's no life inside me.
What do you mean, Mom?
You're still here, right next to me.
You're talking, walking, living.
It's the fourth time. The fourth.
It's my destiny calling me.
It's time to accept it.
I will never accept it.
That is a very brave decision, Laura.
Death is a gift the Lord has given us.
Do not be ashamed of it.
The Lord has given us...
Death is a gift.
Why am I here?
Drink this, Laura.
Take Lúcia to the church.
That's where the ritual will take place.
Mateus.
Not you.
Your transgressions are over.
I need you at the campsite for a new mission.
Come here.
So you're my new Angelina?
Take her to the campsite, Mateus.
And begin the transformation.
Your wish is my wish, Brother.
So?
I did my part.
I believe that now it's your turn.
So after all this, after everything you've seen,
do you still believe I'm not the power?
That there's something hidden in the jungle?
I think I have the right to find that out for myself.
Mateus will take you to the Holy Ground.
Holy Ground?
I can't taste anything else.
Why won't you just let me die, Chosen One?
I have to do something first.
And you have to help me.
-I have to? -Yes.
The Sacred Father showed me that, before your final grace,
you have to reunite with your daughter, Zulmira,
and the rest of your family for the last time.
They asked for this.
Are they waiting for me, Chosen One?
You have no idea.
Mom?
Mom.
You know what, lady?
It might not help,
but in the other villages, people talk.
And they said other journalists that were here before
were treated a lot worse.
The Chosen One let you stay longer than anyone.
Yes, I am surprised that he let me stay this long too.
Silvino, do you know what I've been wondering about you?
Don't you care about the things that go on here?
All the secrets?
What happens to the women?
What goes on here are miracles, ma'am.
-Miracles. -Are they, really?
The Chosen One seems so physically weak, unstable.
Do you think it's normal for a sick person to be healing other sick people?
He's not a normal person.
He's a saint.
He healed you, didn't he?
Didn't you say something like that?
He did.
It's because of him that I'm still here.
Didn't that affect you in some way?
Not in terms of faith, but physically.
Have you never felt any side effects?
No.
And he cured my wife as well.
And how is she doing?
She's fine.
She's fine, but...
It's just that...
since the cure, she doesn't seem like the same person, you know?
-No! -Shut up!
-Let me go! -Shut up!
Shut up.
You should understand that this is something pure!
You're sacred!
She won't understand a thing. She doesn't speak the language.
Listen, if you really want to get out of here,
translate what I am going to say.
Tell her that she was chosen by God.
Now, say it.
Sister.
Do you submit yourself to the mercy of the Holy Chosen One,
with honor and faith?
Yes.
Do you believe in the divine power of the Holy Chosen One,
with honor and faith?
Yes.
Do you promise to worship and respect him until the end of time?
Yes.
I do.
Do you agree to give your life to the Chosen One,
trusted by God in this village to act with compassion and care
-over your body? -Yes.
I agree.
Do you believe in the Chosen One?
Yes.
Lúcia.
Now I will open your body
so that the Serpent who lives in all diseases
flees before my Father's mercy.
Come back, Lúcia.
Come back to God.
Come back to me.
Tomás!
Listen, Mateus. I didn't come here to visit the campsite.
I came to see this so-called Holy Ground,
and you better take me there.
Wait. What are you doing?
Mateus, what are you doing?
You're defying the Chosen One's orders. Mateus!
Tomás!
Mateus!
Tomás?
Brother, it's time to renew your life.
Damião...
What was that, Damião?
The images.
Memories.
It was so violent,
as if they were showing me something.
What are you talking about?
I don't know.
I felt like my whole body was defending itself from him.
Did you go through this too, Damião?
Did you feel it as well?
I don't remember any of that, Lúcia.
I do remember some sounds and colors, being...
Like, more vibrant, I guess.
No images, though.
Mateus!
What happened, for God's sake?
We were watching the cabin like you said.
But then the Chosen One came.
The Chosen One? Are you crazy? The Chosen One is in Aguazul.
It was Him.
I saw Him.
He asked us for an act of faith and left us locked in there.
What about the cabin? Who stayed in the cabin?
Oh, my god!
Mateus, you crazy bastard.
Chosen One?
Mateus didn't take me to the Holy Ground.
Wait. Hold on.
Easy.
What the hell is this?
Chosen One!
My beloved Chosen One!
Your miracle heard my prayers.
What's going on, Zulmira?
The door is open.
Look!
Look, Chosen One!
-A miracle came to my door. -No!
Not you!
But how?
She died. She asked to die.
Brother!
What does this all mean?
It means the Serpent's plan is in motion.
He is bringing back the dead.
