The Chosen One (2019) s02e05 Episode Script

1
[Santiago] Brother, your tears.
A storm is coming, Santiago.
[The Chosen One] The worst of all of them.
After the moment of my greatest doubt,
you gave me back my mother's life.
You, Chosen One, are holy.
- Woman, can't you see my tears?
- [Zulmira whimpers]
Can't you see?
My tears fall because of the horror
that the Serpent brings us.
But Chosen One, you did this.
It wasn't me. None of this is my doing.
Santiago, get that thing out of here,
for the love of God.
[Zulmira] No, no!
What do you think you're doing?
You won't take her away
from me again. You won't!
Zulmira, you have always been
a woman of faith.
And I've always told you the truth.
So, believe me when I say
this woman is not your mother.
Your mother is dead.
And she will remain dead.

[Silvino] It's a simple house,
but we have a good life.
The travelers who come to see
the Chosen One give us tips.
And your wife?
Doesn't she ever come to Aguazul with you?
- Well, to be honest, ma'am, I
- Silvino
Call me Eva. We're friends now, right?
[Eva chuckles]
Well, after she was cured,
she asked to never go back there again.
Why do you think
she doesn't wanna go back there?
She scared of The Chosen One.
Should she be?
She's a very simple woman.
We are simple people, you know?
She never talks about it,
but I do worry about her.
[sighs]
She's very different.
Silvino, would you let me talk to her?
With you there, of course.
My job has taught me to understand people,
and I really think I can help both of you.
Would you do that for me, Eva?
[Lorenzo] I don't understand.
You seem so much better,
despite everything that happened
last night.
God still wants me
to serve The Chosen One.
Especially at this moment.
[foreboding music]
[thumping]
[ominous music]
[gasps, panting]
[Damião] Hey. It's okay.
Take it easy.
You're cured, but you're still very weak.
I don't know how miracles work,
but I can't imagine they work like this.
What I'm feeling is bad,
really, really bad.
That may be.
But only a few hours ago,
you were about to die.
And now you're alive.
But you remember
that same feeling, don't you?
You're a doctor.
You know there's something
going on inside of us that isn't normal.
Just be grateful you're alive, Lúcia.
And that we have the chance to discover
that this place even exists.
What's your problem, Damião?
Here we go. You're starting this again?
First, you cut your stomach
to sacrifice yourself at the altar,
then you just disappear from the church.
Then you reappear out of nowhere.
Lying about everything that happened
during the vaccination.
You never cared about me at all.
You never even tried to contact me.
[Lúcia] You and that piece of shit Enzo.
You made me lose my medical license.
You know, that ruined my life.
I didn't try to contact you?
How dare you even say that to my face?
The two of you left without me.
You two left me here.
Not knowing if I was dead or alive.
And now I'm the one who ruined your life?
I teamed up with Enzo?
You ran away with him.
Now you tell me, Lúcia,
what kind of leader
leaves their own behind?
- I, I went to get help.
- Yeah
And never came back.
[ominous music]
[door opens]
- Silvino
- [gasps]
my love.
Is everything all right?
It will be now.
[Santiago] You've been up all night
healing the doctor.
I don't know how you're still standing.
Brother, the campsite is unprotected.
That's why these things are happening.
Mateus has no experience
dealing with the enemy,
and we've been breaking the rules as well.
Maybe this is all just retaliation.
None of this is your fault, Santiago.
Nor Mateus'.
The Serpent wants to punish me
and wants me to go back to the campsite.
I wonder why.
What do I do with her?
[The Chosen One] Take her away.
And leave no trace.
- Brother,
- Mm?
I'm going to need my army.
The time has come for the natives
to pay their debt to me.
[The Chosen One]
Bring me Lorenzo and Angelina,
- I need a transfusion.
- Mm-hm.
[Ana] No, miss.
I don't feel that way
and I don't know why he's saying that.
Every day I feel blessed
because The Chosen One healed me
and I could have my baby.
It's okay, my love.
[Silvino] She's a friend,
and she knows you're grateful.
But tell her the truth.
Tell her why you don't feel well.
It's a sin, Silvino.
It's not a sin
to talk about what's hurting you.
You're the most important
thing in my life.
If something's wrong,
we have to fix it, my love.
[Eva] It's true, Ana.
I really wanna hear from your experience.
Sometimes a single piece of information
can change our whole life.
[Silvino] Right.
[Eva's mother] We have four children.
- Four!
- [door opens]
[Eva's mother]
How are we gonna survive like this?
Where is a lathe operator
going to find a job around here?
Is Daddy okay, Eva?
[Eva's father]
Don't you think I worry about that?
About how I'm gonna put food on the table?
I work my ass off for this family.
But what can I do if the factory
is laying people off?
I worked there my whole life.
What's gonna happen?
[shushes]
I've always told you that it was no use
working for rich people like that,
they don't care about us.
I'll figure it out.
I don't care what you say anymore,
I want to see you do something about it.
[somber music]
Eat that cake
before your mom gets home, Eva.
I don't want you to leave here hungry.
I'm sorry. I was thinking about my dad.
Your dad is a good, hardworking man.
We just need to have faith.
Faith? How is faith going to
[gasps]
Oh, I didn't mean to.
Don't worry about it.
I'll get something to wipe it up.
CITY OF CORUMBÁ IS THE SALVATION
FOR LAID-OFF WORKERS
SHORTAGE OF SKILLED WORKERS
[chuckles]
[calm music]
My role as a journalist
is to contribute to society
and sometimes I even change people's lives
with my stories.
I'd like to help you, Ana,
you just need to talk to me.
[breathes deeply]
It's a feeling I have
almost every day at some point.
I feel like I shouldn't even be alive.
Since I was healed by The Chosen One,
I feel like there's a
dark light inside of me.
A light?
[Ana] I call it a dark light,
but I feel like I'm fighting against
a darkness inside of me.
Something really bad.
That could be God fighting the Devil
that lives inside all of us.
- Right?
- Silvino
In all honesty,
I don't think so.
[clattering]
[foreboding music]
How do you feel?
Can you feel that you're cured?
Yes. I feel it.
And I owe it all to you.
That's good to hear.
Especially coming from you.
I was waiting to tell you
about the woman I brought here.
Your new life.
[The Chosen One]
She's being prepared for the ritual.
If you let me,
I'd like to stay by her side
[door opens]
[foreboding music]
They already took
the new life to the campsite.
If I were you,
I'd forget about her and get out of here.
Are you better, Chosen One?
Yes, Chief.
But what matters now
is the situation at hand.
The fact is that I cured your people,
even going against my Father's will.
And now, I am the one who needs your help.
Whatever you ask of me,
my tribe will honor.
I want your protection
from the one who lives
in the depths of the jungle.
I want protection against the Serpent.
[indistinct chatter]
[chattering continues]
Zulmira.
[The Chosen One]
If I saw your dear mother,
your real mother,
walking towards me,
I'd tell you to leave everything
to be with her again.
Nothing else would matter.
Come to me, Zulmira.
My people,
today we were attacked.
[villagers gasp]
Zulmira saw a creature
in the form of her mother this morning.
But my own divine light
made this evil being disappear
once and for all.
You, my dear Zulmira, will never have
to see that evil being again.
What do you mean, disappear?
[villagers murmuring]
Just like all the Serpent's illusions.
No. It wasn't an illusion.
I did touch her. I did talk to her.
How on earth could you make her disappear?
[ominous music]
What happened to Christ
three days after the crucifixion?
[The Chosen One] What happened to Christ
on the third day?
- The resurrection.
- The resurrection.
The resurrection.
Christ rose from the dead
on the third day.
Proving his divinity to his followers.
According to the scriptures,
it was the will of my Father.
Then he ascended to Heaven
to sit at the right hand of God.
So your mother, Zulmira,
was resurrected because of an evil desire.
No.
What you saw, it wasn't your mother.
But only her cold, dead flesh
which was being used as an instrument
by the enemy.
Not again. No. Not again, no.
A freak of nature that was destroyed.
[Vicente] Zulmira
[Zulmira] I'm alone again, no! No.
Today the enemy broke his silence
and also upset the balance
we've had in Aguazul for all these years.
Today the Serpent invaded Aguazul.
I can't keep curing people
until I face the enemy in front of me.
[Zulmira sobbing]
Today, I will once again,
return to the camp.
And I'll start this holy war
especially in your name, Zulmira.
[Zulmira sobbing]
And I promise to all of you,
nobody will have to go through
what Zulmira went through this morning.
[villagers murmuring]
[ominous music]
[boat engine revving]
[foreboding music]
[chief] The Chosen One has asked you
to take care of her.
[foreboding music]
[Silvino] I, I don't understand, Eva.
I didn't understand it either, Silvino.
But after talking to Ana,
I wanted to take a look
at these documents again.
Everything I know about people
like The Chosen One is here.
So, are you saying there were others
like The Chosen One?
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
It not as important
that there were others,
but rather where they came from.
The World Health Organization said
that the Zika mutation was reduced
in one season, in this entire area.
But that's not entirely true.
The cure started somewhere specific.
[Eva] It started here.
In Aguazul.
[foreboding music]
[wind whooshes]
Chosen One, are you sure?
Yes, Santiago.
And I don't wanna delay my departure.
Angelina and Lorenzo,
you're coming with me.
Damião,
you might be useful, too.
But, Brother, I should go with you.
No, Santiago.
The Natives will protect me.
Your place is here with Lúcia.
What do you mean by that?
That I will need you
during the war, Lúcia.
[gasps]
- No.
- [Santiago] Hey!
No?
You, stay away from me.
And you need to hear me out.
I'm tired of letting
a bunch of men tell me
what I can or cannot do in this place.
This ends right here, right now.
I already got what I came here for.
Just look at me now.
You actually cured me.
I don't really care if Enzo's right or not
but there's some secret
you're hiding in the jungle.
Or if it's Damião's right
when he says you're the magical healer.
But either way,
I can see you're actually capable
of performing miracles.
So, if you what you're saying is true,
that I'm the one who keeps you alive,
I'm not gonna sit around here anymore.
My messenger comes with me.
First, he took away my husband,
now he take my mother away.
Is that what I get for all my devotion?
Your mother asked to leave, Zulmira.
That was her wish, right?
But she came back for a reason.
Did you know, Damião?
No.
[foreboding music]
Then you can do something for me, okay?
Find her and bring her back to me.
You heard what The Chosen One said.
You understand that
was not your mother, right?
[grunts]
Don't talk about her like that.
I know she's still out there somewhere.
And you will bring her back to me
because you owe it to me, Damião.
You owe me for everything you
and your doctors have done to my life
since you've arrived here.
I don't owe you anything.
[Zulmira scoffs]
Looking for this?
You don't understand.
I don't?
Because Angelina
is doing so much better than before.
And I can't help but notice
your extreme devotion.
And the fact that you refuse
to leave her side.
Bring me my mother, Damião.
[door opens]
Take care of my village, Santiago.
[boat engine starts]
[foreboding music]
But, Eva, what are trying to prove here?
I wanna find a connection between
what's happening here in Aguazul
and what has already happened
in other parts of the world.
[doctor] We are absolutely certain
that the epidemic in the region
around the Pantanal is under control.
But you do confirm
there have been recent records
of people infected by the mutation, right?
Um, before, we were dealing
with the risk of mass contamination.
Now, there are only isolated cases
that are already being identified
and treated.
And to what do you credit
the success of this eradication?
Well, as Doctor Ramiro already mentioned,
the vaccines
were successfully administered.
According to the statement
of your colleague Lúcia Santeiro,
the community in Aguazul
refused to take the vaccines.
As a member of the press,
you must surely be aware that
despite Brazil having one of the best
public vaccination programs in the world,
there are always
some people who are reluctant
to vaccinate their children and themselves
based on the dissemination of fake news.
This was one more case of that,
which we handled.
- [doctor] Any other questions?
- [Eva] Over here!
While you were in the town of Aguazul,
did you witness the activities
of a local spiritual healer
capable of performing miraculous cures?
A healer?
What do you mean? A medium?
Who could talk to spirits?
[crowd laughs]
Miss, with all due respect,
our press needs to start practicing
serious journalism.
I guess we eradicated the epidemic,
not the ignorance.
So, this is the result
of a lot of historical research
about other healers.
"Once he was cured,
the man expressed his desire to die,
to be with his Lord,
no longer feeling
the satisfaction of belonging to Earth."
Yes. That's the statement of a man
who was successfully cured.
Look at the date.
From 1834?
Mm.
"The Healing Light erased
his consciousness.
Being given a new life
awakened the desire for death."
God, it's just like that.
That is exactly how I feel.
Yes. It's the same feelings
you described just now, Ana.
But some of these statements
are over a thousand years old.
But were these healers
like The Chosen One?
Well, most of them were false prophets.
But there were some healers
that the Catholic Church
was trying to hide and erase from history,
fearing they might compete
with the image of Christ.
[sighs]
But
The Chosen One isn't a false prophet.
- He's not a fraud.
- Silvino.
There's one group in particular
who cried tears of blood,
and they're described
in similar terms to The Chosen One.
And I think he is a part of this group
of miracle workers.
There are even some religious cults
that called them
"The Destroyers of The New World".
And it seems every century
a new one is born.
I've seen this here.
What do you mean, Silvino?
[Anna] Seen what?
This altar. This cabin.
"The protection of the dead."
Where did you see this?
[ominous music]
Lúcia?
Brother.
Brother.
I need to speak to you.
A tragedy has occurred.
[Mateus] I went to the cabin.
I followed the blood
[whispering]
[pants, sobs]
[foreboding music]
[foreboding music continues]
[The Chosen One sobs]
[sobbing continues]
Mateus, they killed her.
He murdered my first cure.
Of all the creatures,
he chose the most innocent one.
Tomás,
bring the scientist here.
[door clatters, opens]
Enzo.
[thuds]
- Did you kill it?
- [Enzo] Wait.
No.
No, it wasn't me.
He he did. He did.
Did you watch her die?
Did she suffer?
It was you, I saw it was you.
You killed the thing.
[The Chosen One]
The Serpent tricked you, scientist.
He made you see me.
[Mateus] Brother.
I'm gathering some of the natives
to hunt down the Serpent.
He will end up killing all of you.
This place doesn't need weapons, Mateus.
It needs me.
What should I do with the doctor?
[The Chosen One] Lock him back in there.
No, no! Please. You promised, Chosen One!
[Enzo] No, don't do this!
No! No, no!
[Enzo grunts]
[Enzo] No, no!
[foreboding music]
Lúcia.
What are you doing here?
I feel responsible
for the woman I brought here.
I need to see how she's doing.
Yeah, that's you in a nutshell.
What do you mean by that?
Hm. You just never know when to stop.
Oh, I don't?
Mm-hm.
You're the one who turned me in
when I tried to help you.
How dare you say that to my face?
Who do you think you are?
Who do I think I am?
What are you talking about?
I slit my throat for you.
I'm still being punished for that.
And for what?
Just to watch you come back here?
Do you know how I felt when it looked like
my brother wouldn't heal you?
[Mateus] I know.
I've made a lot of mistakes.
I understand why you feel betrayed.
But I do know how my brother thinks.
Or at least I thought I did.
But look
everything I did,
I was just trying my best to protect you.
So why don't you help me now then?
Tell me where they took the new Angelina.
I can't believe it.
Can you stop being so stubborn
for one second?
- [moans]
- [smooches]
[foreboding music]
[foreboding music continues]
[panting]
So, The Chosen One keeps a cabin
in the middle of the jungle,
a place he believes is mystical,
with an altar for protection
like this one,
built by other healers.
Can you take me there, Silvino?
It's in the middle of the forest.
I've seen it once before
and got beaten up.
I can't go back there.
But, Silvino, you want to know
what is happening, right?
[Eva] You want what's best
for your wife, don't you?
Come on, look at Ana
and tell me you don't wanna help her.
Then you have to take me to this cabin.
Reinforce the cabin
with anything you find.
[men speaking in native language]
[thumping]
[smooches]
May my tears protect this sacred place.
[water sloshing]
[woman 1] No.
I don't want anything.
I just want to go home.
You've mistaken me for someone else.
I know. But you'll have to wait.
He'll end up realizing
you're not his new life.
[approaching footsteps]
How do you feel?
She still doesn't understand
what's happening.
But that's normal.
No, I asked how you were feeling.
I
I'm cured, aren't I?
No.
Not completely.
You may be feeling better now, but
we've only just started your recovery.
- [Angelina sighs]
- Come with me.
[foreboding music]
[Angelina sighs]
[bottles clank]
I'm going to make you
The Chosen One's life forever.
[rustling]
[gasps]
Get away from me, you demon. Get away.
- Get out.
- What did he say to you?
He didn't say anything. He said nothing.
Impossible. He must have said something.
He must have said something to you.
All I know is that he enjoyed killing it.
He laughed while he tore it into shreds
and bathed in its blood.
Concentrate on me, scientist.
Breathe in.
[The Chosen One] Swallow your fear.
Calm down.
Breathe.
- Better?
- [Enzo] Mm-hm.
Chosen One
I want to get out of here.
I swear I tried. I swear I did.
I did things I didn't even know
I was capable of.
But I can't take it anymore.
I'm asking you.
Please, please, let me go.
[The Chosen One]
Are you giving up, scientist?
[whimpers]
So, now you're ready to see
what you came for.
[door opens]
[The Chosen One] Mateus.
- Have you seen Mateus?
- No, Holy One.
Lúcia?
[Mateus] I have scouted the south side.
Everything is under control.
[The Chosen One] Brother, the doctor
is ready to see the Holy Ground.
Are you sure?
[Mateus] Come with me.
Lúcia, follow me, please.
[Mateus] What exactly are you planning
on doing when you get to the Holy Ground?
I just want to take a sample
of whatever is there,
so I can try to replicate it
in the laboratory.
You like to use big words,
don't you, scientist?
Well, it's not my intention.
[Enzo] I guess I'm just too educated
for some people.
- [both grunt]
- [Enzo groans]
What was that for?
That's for what you did to Lúcia.
Now enjoy yourself.
You are on Holy Ground.
But there's nothing out here.
Head over there.
Out of respect for this place,
I won't go any closer.
[foreboding music]
You're not going to shoot me in the back,
Mateus, are you?
Here.
Right past that hill over there.
[birds cawing]
[animals growling]
[ominous music]
[buzzing]
What's happening to me?
[gasping]
[crackling]
[gasping]
[closing theme music]
