I'm The Chosen One's life!
Me!
Not you! Never you!
Yes, you are his life.
He told me that.
He told me proudly...
No one can give life to him but you, Angelina.
Believe me.
I'm his messenger, right?
[panting]
It's my mission.
Yes.
It's your mission.
Not mine.
My blood is no-good.
And he knows it.
You are his life.
And no one can take that from you.
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Pair up to hunt for the doctor.
Got it? Don't go into the jungle alone. Let's go. Let's go.
Chosen One, go to your refuge. I'll bring her to you when I find her.
I'm not going anywhere, Santiago.
The doctor's my messenger and I need her here now.
[Mateus] Brother, let me help!
Brother,
let me find her for you.
Angelina took the doctor because she thinks you don't need her anymore.
Angelina will have to understand.
Or she'll die because of it.
I didn't imagine it. I saw it with my own eyes.
He's back.
He cured the natives.
He and the lady in white are back.
Your name...
What's your real name?
I can't let you look for her.
I can't trust you anymore.
It's a shame you feel that way.
It's sad to lose trust in my most beloved brother.
He opened himself to the outsiders after years in hiding.
Now he'll cure us from this plague that engulfs our marshland.
But if he can cure just like that, why didn't he cure your wife?
He will cure Ana.
She'll get well, I know it.
He'll heal all of us here.
Don't forget, I'm one of his survivors.
He cured me of polio.
The lady in white is someone else now, but this one seems better.
This one is powerful.
I have to tell you that he is not just a man,
he's a saint!
He's sent by God!
Silvino, you irresponsible man.
You can't go around giving people false hope,
or dishonor God's name like that.
It's not false hope, Father.
You know he's real.
I'm won't leave this square until everyone knows about it.
You have a foreign accent.
Where are you from?
I'm the spirit of those who lie in these graves.
I am all of them, doctor.
Who were you before all this?
Who were you before being a life?
No, doctor.
Don't ask about my secrets.
Just be thankful this is my fate and not yours.
It's hard being a life.
Dangerous.
Painful.
[sobbing]
There's nothing to see here.
He's only a desperate man.
Time to go home.
Otherwise, these church doors will be closed to you. Just go.
Where's the doctor, useless woman?
She no longer exists.
You have much to explain.
You were always a cause of sorrow to my brother.
You were never a creature of God. You're a burden!
[Silvino] Father.
You were the one who took me to him when he cured me.
I remember.
You believed in him.
Before his brothers grew up and closed the village doors to all of us.
That was not his brothers' decision, Silvino.
I decided to close the village doors to us.
What do you mean, Father?
Sit down here.
It's polio, Mrs. Imaculada.
The boy can't move his leg.
- Where's the boy from, Father Venâncio? - From the village.
Good folks.
What's your name?
Silvino.
And do you believe in the power of the holy child from this village?
[Silvino] Yes, ma'am.
- Even if the floor... - Imaculada. Get on with it.
So, today,
you will know and receive the divine blessing, Silvino.
Go, my son. You can go.
[screaming in distance]
Don't be scared, son.
Don't listen to these demons.
They want to stop you.
Mother, it's happening. We have to end this now.
Are strange things still happening, boy?
Mateus, tell me,
what strange things have you seen during the healings?
[Imaculada] Don't worry about evil. It can't reach us anymore.
God punished me by taking my husband away.
But now he blesses us with a new saint.
Dead animals and blood writings won't scare me.
I'm feeling good, Father.
It's real.
[screaming continues]
There was something inexplicably evil surrounding the cure at that time.
Don't you remember the screaming?
That was years ago, Father.
Don't you think I want to see your wife healthy?
She's one of the most dedicated believers in Christ, you ungrateful fool.
And what's stopping you from begging The Chosen One for one more favor?
You won't get in the way of God's plans, Silvino. Not this time.
There's evil in that land, and poison.
And I can't doom our souls again. I can't, Silvino.
[Mateus] I recognize my mistake, brother.
- Please don't leave me here. - Chosen One!
[Mateus] Brother!
Chosen One.
Lúcia.
- Lúcia. - Mateus, help me get out of here.
You have to show me how to get out of here. I can't do it alone.
I can't.
- I can't. - You have to, Mateus. You know that.
[whip cracks]
He'll kill me, Mateus. He'll kill me.
He will. He will.
Help me.
I'm sorry, Lúcia.
I can't help you right now.
I hope you understand.
Mateus.
Mateus, let me go.
- Let me go! - Angelina also didn't understand at first.
She's his victim. Don't let me be next.
Chosen One!
The doctor!
The doctor's here!
What are you doing, Mateus?
Your brother's a sick man.
Look what he did to you. Look what he did to us.
Very good, Mateus.
You came back to me, brother.
You at least resisted the second temptation.
Lúcia.
Angelina has something to tell you.
I'm your new servant. I'll always be by your side...
until my dying day, or yours.
Don't be long, brothers.
The murderers' trial must begin at dawn.
The outsiders will face the divine wrath for killing our people.
- I'll prepare for your arrival, brother. - [Chosen One] No, no.
You won't go.
You came back to me, brother,
but your mind is still weak and your reputation lost.
You'll stay here at the campsite with me.
Santiago.
You're the new leader of Aguazul.
- Go and prepare for my arrival. - But, Chosen One,
Mateus understands Aguazul better than I do.
My whole life is here.
[Mateus] I learned to protect you from outsiders,
to negotiate with the police, to keep the villagers under control.
Everyone knows me in Aguazul. Everyone respects me.
That was true then. But not now.
Not after you tainted my messenger.
Not after you slept with Lúcia behind my back.
Everyone in this life can be replaced, Mateus.
Except me.
Chosen One,
this isn't necessary.
We're aware of your authority and the mistakes we've made.
Lúcia, don't let this guy...
Don't be afraid. Your fate will be nothing like theirs.
We'll judge the fate of those sinners in the morning,
and then we'll come back together to our house.
Oh, my God.
[bells ringing]
SINNER
[all] Sons of the serpent!
Sons of the serpent!
Where's Mateus?!
Sons of the serpent!
This village is medieval.
My God, this is all medieval.
[all screaming]
Wait here until you're called.
Damião, next time you try to convince me these guys are civilized,
I'll smash that relic on your head.
This is more proof that they do have laws. We're going to be judged by them.
If they wanted to kill us, we'd be dead by now.
You know what? I think The Chosen One wants something else.
Human sacrifice?
No.
No, he said he wanted to save our souls.
It's what they always say before cutting your heart out or emptying your pockets.
He could've squashed us like bugs at the campsite, but he didn't.
Yeah, but there might be a burning stake waiting for us out there.
Do you think this is it?
We're done for?
No hope left?
[Lúcia] No.
You don't get to touch me anymore.
Alicia.
What?
My name was Alicia.
Alicia,
please help us.
My friends' fate is in your hands.
[Chosen One] Angelina.
Get out.
What will you do to them?
Whatever my father tells me to.
I'm not looking for punishment but for their salvation.
No matter what happens today, at least their souls will be saved.
Rise. Everyone rise.
Brothers, sisters,
we've endured unpleasant times.
We've ended crime,
just like we defeated the serpent long ago.
And yet, we were attacked, tainted on our own land.
But don't worry,
the outsiders will give what they took from this land back to God.
[bells ringing]
Bring forth the accused for the Trial of Sorrow.
To relieve the crime committed on our land
and restore the balance that was broken,
my father demands us.
That's why I asked for a Trial of Sorrow.
What do you have to say, sinners?
How do you justify your crime if your beliefs have no ethic?
Flavio's at the altar because you brought death and you have nothing to say?
Nothing?
Damião.
It was an accident.
They took us prisoner and we tried to escape.
Mind your words, doctor. You were never a prisoner.
- The well was a test and you failed. - A test?
Like when you strung me up over the alligators?
Or when you locked us in a cell with a jaguar?
How could I know he'd die, if no one here dies?
What you don't know is faith, doctor.
But if you save yourself today, it will be due to it.
He needs a gesture.
Doctor!
Don't reprimand her in front of me again, Santiago.
I do need a gesture from you.
Damião,
admit to him you have faith.
That's not what he wants to hear.
It's not enough to just say that.
He seeks the truth.
I know what I have to do.
You said you're looking for balance, right?
That's this trial's main purpose, isn't it?
To my father, yes.
A few days ago, I was practically dead.
I'm a doctor,
so I know that I was destined for it.
But now I'm alive.
I'm alive, but this life's not my own.
It was borrowed.
By you.
You gave it to me.
I don't know how you did it,
or what to call it...
but I know how I feel.
Go on, Damião.
I'm not a bad man.
I've always looked for light in the darkness,
despite my difficult life.
But I've never regretted a darkness more than I do today...
with this death I was involved in.
You have no regret.
You're just trying to save yourself.
That's why I think I should pay for this death,
to restore the balance,
giving my life for the one that was taken.
This life is yours.
My life is yours.
You decide whether or not I should die.
You decide whether to heal me...
or let me bleed to death.
No! No, Damião! Damião, no!
You're crazy!
For God's sake.
- Help him. Let me help. - You decide.
My life is yours.
[Lúcia] Wasn't that what you wanted?
To save his soul?
You did the right thing, brother.
You've restored the balance and shown faith in what science ignores.
You truly did the right thing.
But, no,
your life is not mine.
Only my father can forgive your offense.
And I can't cure a murderer.
I'm not allowed to.
Is the Chosen One here?
My wife is dying.
Head to the church.
You said you'd save him.
I wasn't talking about his body.
Are you going to let him die?
Are you going to be an accessory to his death?
It's no longer in my hands.
It's only in his.
Do you understand your friend's sacrifice?
This is no sacrifice, it's suicide.
Are you so arrogant that you can't see the value of his actions?
You're the worst of them all, scientist.
Out of all of them, you're the son of the serpent.
Faithless!
What will be your destiny?
There's no time for any of this.
Your friend's life is in your hands. Save him.
How are you? Can you talk?
I can hold a bit longer.
- He needs instruments... - No.
You will heal him using only your hands, doctor.
He's going to die. What do I do now?
It's not the water, Enzo.
It's him.
Please. I'm asking, please, save him.
What did you say, scientist?
You can heal him. You have a method.
The blue water works when you use it.
Method?
Look, there are things I can't explain.
But there are more things I can't do.
And right now, I admit, I can't save Damião.
But you can.
I was sure you had this hidden somewhere deep inside of you.
That was a demonstration of faith, Lúcia.
Then show us your mercy...
and don't let Damião die.
[people singing] Against this world's ails God helps us
Sinners at my door?
He heals all
Is that how you rule my village, Santiago?
Allowing more outsiders in?
People of Aguazul, let's go!
Stand up! Follow me!
Renewed his pure blood To redeem me
When anointed, he cured me
The Chosen One heals The Chosen One heals
Father, help my mother.
How is she?
Worse than before, Father.
I've never seen anything like this.
- There's nothing to be done. - [priest] What do you want me to do?
We want you to expel the demon from here.
Drive this evil away from the village.
But why do you think he can't heal her now?
He's the reason she's being punished.
- Is that true? - We don't know for sure.
- [Cleuza] Of course we do. - Cleuza talks too much.
This boy is small, but he is vain.
He let ego and vanity overwhelm his soul.
He should have been confined to the village.
But he opened himself up to the world. Wanted glory, not blessings.
Now he's being punished for it.
Shut up, woman from hell.
Father, help my mother.
God stands next to those who are faithful.
We have to ask him for mercy.
And steer away from evil, from ego
and from the greed of this world.
Maybe it's time to keep your brother's healing powers from other people.
He heals Yes, he does
Our soul is safe
Silence!
How could you do this, Silvino?
The Chosen One's a gift from God to all of us!
Your pathetic compassion led to this.
Everything's been confused... since I saw you.
Since I fell ill after curing your friend.
This is all because you ignored the message I gave you.
I'm your messenger, remember?
I told you, your mission was to open up to the world.
You don't understand.
I also thought that was my mission once.
But it brought destruction.
Do you think God would bring destruction if you cured people?
The suffering will come now.
We'll lose Damião, whom you saved. What kind of God would allow that?
If you are his chosen one,
you, and only you, can make this decision.
If you want us to leave, the Chosen One will have to kick us out.
Do you have any idea what I can do to you?
Sing! Sing out loud, so the Chosen One can hear how strong your faith is.
Sing!
Don't worry about me.
Sing! Sing!
There's no ail...
[Chosen One] Lúcia.
I feel everyone's pain.
All their pain.
All their pain together.
No.
Damn it, not again!
The Chosen One heals
Go!
He heals Yes, he does
Enzo, come on.
Where is he? They've taken him.
Come on, we're leaving.
No, I'm not leaving until I know where Damião is.
They've taken him. Where to? We can find out later. Let's go.
The Chosen One heals
All that ails...
Run, Lúcia, run.
Our soul's safe
Father!
Brothers, sisters,
after many years of silence,
God has allowed me to talk to you.
Diseases exist...
They exist to remind us
that our fragile bodies are made of sand.
But I exist...
to remind you that this sand was molded by God's hands.
Don't do this, brother.
- My father gave me a new mission. - Brother.
No.
And I needed time to accept it.
- Brother, please don't. - The mission of healing the world.
[Santiago] Please!
Those who are sick,
come to me!
[Santiago] Don't do this!
For I am the mercy,
I am the miracle God created before the end.
We're all going to die.
So be it.
[all singing] The Chosen One heals
The Chosen One heals
His love for us
It happened.
He's healing outsiders again.
Blessed be Silvino.
[Lúcia] I'm not defending myself, doctor.
All I've said here...
is true.
So, are you saying that everyone's lying except you?
The local police, the villagers,
Dr. Alberto Lorenzo, even your subordinate?
Enzo?
[man] Your colleague, Enzo Vergani, has changed his official statement.
His story now checks out with Commander Caruso's.
Look, I don't know Enzo's motives,
- but I'm telling the truth. - Lúcia,
you've always been an outstandingly correct doctor,
with your head on straight.
I'm not crazy.
Damião was kidnapped and those fanatics hid his body.
This morning, Dr. Damião's family reported him alive and well.
Alive?
We're trying to get in touch with him to take his statement.
Here's the front page of the local paper showing him yesterday,
and his mother says he's fine.
I told the truth.
This institution is forced to suspend your medical license.
[man] How did Lúcia get to this?
Honestly, doctor, I don't know.
I feel for her.
But my responsibility is with you and this organization.
Microorganism typically found in stagnant water,
calcium,
concentrated nitric acid that converts to benzene.
This is amino benzene.
Aniline?
Dye.
Bastard.
Fabric dye.
SIX MONTHS LATER
We'll try to accommodate your son, ma'am.
I'll look over your paperwork, see what I can do.
Thank you.
Ouch! What the...?
Enzo.
- Hi, Lúcia. - Stay away from me.
Calm down. I need to talk to you. You don't answer my calls.
And they kicked me out of your office last time.
Are you stalking me? Did you know I was here?
- I'm calling the police. - I need you to listen to me!
Why would I do that?
You made me lose everything, Enzo.
Everything.
You betrayed me.
Lúcia, I understand you're frustrated.
- But you have to understand that... - Why did you lie about everything?
I had no choice.
I couldn't let them investigate Aguazul.
Why?
So you could find the cure that'd make you famous?
Don't you ever wonder what happened to Damião?
What if I do?
I can show you what really happened.
The cult is growing. More people are going to Aguazul.
Look at this.
Damião's with them.
Damião's part of the cult now.
I tried contacting him, but it's still impossible to reach that place.
And you?
Where have you been?
I've been doing research.
I couldn't let them find the liquid before I analyzed it.
And you're right, Lúcia.
It was my discovery.
I've been through hell to prove that the water was the actual cure.
We've been through hell.
But you know what I really want to understand?
Was it worth it, Enzo?
Was it worth stabbing me in the back?
It was dye.
Dye?
Lúcia, we need to go back there.
We have to discover how the healings are accomplished.
Nothing will ever make me go back to that place.
- And definitely not with you. - Look, that lunatic doesn't have powers.
He pulls tricks.
He colors the water with fabric dye.
But something in the marshland that he knows, something he uses.
Lúcia, the Chosen One wants you.
You were the one who made him heal outsiders again.
You're the only one who can help me.
You've got to be kidding.
I knew you'd say that.
Then you shouldn't have wasted your time.
I'm gonna tell you something now, but please stay calm.
- You'll be fine. - What are you talking about?
Did you hear about the new reports?
On the new mutation?
I don't need to see the reports.
I was there when Damião got sick. We know the Zika virus has mutated again.
Only two cases of this mutation were found...
and in people who'd already been vaccinated.
So, what? That's not my problem anymore.
I can't do much from a public rehab clinic.
You should talk to your father.
You must do something now.
Because I...
just infected you with the new mutation.
The average viral incubation time is 24 hours,
and there's no cure for the disease yet.
Both people died, Lúcia.
So, now, only a miracle can save you.
We have to go back.
