The Chosen One (O Escolhido)

What is it?

You!

Come with me. Come on. Come on, let's go.

For the love of God, what's going on?

The Serpent.

Give me the knife.

Damião?

The Serpent.

The Serpent is back.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

How did you get out of the church, Damião?

How did you manage to survive in the jungle for so long?

Your enemy took me prisoner.

No. That's not possible.

He even had the same face, Mateus.

He had the same face as The Chosen One.

No, he changes faces to confuse us.

You can't believe what you see.

- He's not human. - I don't know what he is.

But I know that he's real.

Then why did he let you live?

Wait a minute.

- Are you working with The Serpent? - Of course, I'm not!

He took me from the church so that I could bring a message.

What message?

"The blessing will not come."

"The blessing will not come"? What does that mean?

Death, Mateus.

Death will not come here.

I didn't understand, but...

he told me, he said the sin you all are hiding

will never leave here.

Uh-huh.

The Chosen One needs to know about this.

SIX MONTHS LATER

"Lúcia, believe me. The infection is real. Please."

"We need to go back there, or else you're going to die."

"Please, pick up the phone."

Lúcia, calm down.

He must be exaggerating.

First, let's look at your test results.

I promise I'll get them back to you today.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Even though you've been back in Aguazul for months,

I don't think I'll ever get used to you living here.

If you don't want me here, I've told you I could sleep at the clinic.

You know that's not an option.

The Chosen One has decided that you should live here.

Take this pain from me, Father!

Release me from the pain.

He's still in pain from the cure.

Well, that's the price of healing outsiders.

The Chosen One needs medical attention.

- I can help him. - No, Damião.

When are you going to understand

that your status as a doctor means absolutely nothing?

Find Lorenzo...

and bring him here.

Where the hell is Lorenzo?

I am so sorry, Lúcia,

but you're going to have to be placed in quarantine.

Lúcia?

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

POLICE

- Let's go. - Lúcia?

Amanda, what the hell have you done?

Go, go, go!

Lúcia!

You son of a bitch. What did you do to me?

Get in. I'm the only person who can help you. Come on!

Help me? I'm gonna die because of you!

Get in the car!

Hurry up!

Fuck!

Lorenzo?

DONATIONS

Lorenzo?

You fucking piece of shit.

Mister.

Hey, mister.

You're not allowed to sleep here.

Are you lost?

Hey.

The boy who heals lives in this village, right?

That boy is my brother.

Our mother has already taken him home for the day.

I tried to get here earlier.

But I'm just so exhausted and...

so weak.

I've come to see him as my last hope to stay alive, you know?

What was wrong with you?

And what's in that bag?

Medicine is not allowed in Aguazul.

I'm a doctor.

I came from very far away

because I really need your brother's help.

A doctor looking for a cure?

I don't have much longer.

When you're dying,

and you've gotten a second and third opinion,

what other choice do you have?

I can go ask my mother,

but I can't promise anything.

And I want something in return.

Anything you want.

I need you to examine my mother.

The way doctors do.

Just look at her, okay?

No medicine. Understand?

No poison should enter a sacred body.

It's a deal. No poison.

Believe me, you have my word.

My name is Lorenzo.

Santiago.

Santiago!

You've been drinking again, you idiot, haven't you?

- No! I was just... - I don't want to hear your bullshit.

I still don't know why I took pity on you.

Pity? Right.

Let's go.

He won't be able to help anyone like that.

God shall guide his hand.

Are you completely out of your mind, Santiago?

I know what you're doing, and you're not fooling anyone.

I'm a doctor, too, but I happen to be sober.

- The Chosen One has accepted me. - The Chosen One only took mercy on you

because you brought back a message from the Serpent,

and so he thinks you're part of some bigger divine plan.

But I am responsible for his security and I don't trust you.

I don't understand you, Santiago.

I would've run away if I didn't want to be here.

But I chose I stay in Aguazul because I believe this place is different

and that The Chosen One is here for a reason.

You can pretend to be a part of this community,

but you're lying to yourself

because you will never be a part of Aguazul.

Don't think I've forgotten what you have done, sinner.

I only wanted to help.

But if you would rather put your brother's life

in the hands of a drunken quack,

fine by me.

You'll put your hands on The Chosen One over my dead body.

Angelina?

My dear?

Can you hear me at all?

What is going on, doctor?

She's very weak.

She's given too much blood.

She's taking longer and longer to recover from the transfusions.

Why are you so surprised?

Every one of my lives have died for me.

Imaculada.

I've told you to get some rest.

What are you doing up at this late hour?

The same you're doing at this late hour.

Working hard.

Are you in any pain right now?

Do you need anything for me?

I do.

I am very grateful for all of the care you've given me.

It makes my children feel better.

But you know I don't have much time left.

My son saved your life.

There was no cure for your type of cancer.

I'm so very grateful to The Chosen One.

I'm very thankful...

to be given a second chance to live...

and work in this sacred place.

I'm glad that you are grateful for my son.

You've been so good to me.

In many ways.

But now I need to ask you

to help me save the life of my son who saved you.

As you know, my son suffers so much...

Mm-hm.

...every time he heals someone.

I know, my dear.

And I have finally found a way to cure him.

- God told me. - Mm-hm.

What do you want from me?

Let me out of here!

You know his blood gets dirty after each cure.

That is the ordeal God demands.

And we need to find clean blood.

It must come from somewhere far away to renew his.

This will be your mission from now on, my love.

You need to promise me...

our messiah will always have a woman like an angel by his side.

I promise.

What are you doing here, doctor?

I've never seen you at the bar.

I thought that you said drinking was bad for you.

Yeah, five years.

That's what caused my cancer.

But now, I don't worry about it.

How do you feel?

- Are you in pain? - I feel...

better.

We need to find a different life
