"Look at this clown!" "That must be it" "What now?" "It's too early, let's wait until it opens." " I have blisters in my feet." " And my shoulders are in living flesh." "Now you will learn, I told you to put a cushion there." "It wasn't right." "When I made the promise, I didn't say anything about a cushion." "So, you could have put, the saint wouldn't say anything." "No, with this stuff about miracles, we need to be honest." "If we deceive the saint, the other time the saint will look at us and say:" ""So, you're that who deceived me?" "So go make your promises to the devil!"" "What are you searching for?" "Anything written, so I can know if this is the church of Saint Barbara." "Of course it is, don't you remember what the priest said?" "Small church, in front a wide and fine stair." "If only we could ask someone." "Listen Zé, since the church is closed, we could look for a place to sleep." "A bed now would be a greater good." "And the cross?" "Leave it here, tomorrow morning..." "It could be stealed." "And then I'd have to make another and came with it in my back." "But you already paid the promise." "You brought the cross." "Here is the church of Saint Barbara, this is it." "Now, let's go home." "But where we're standing is not the church, the church is in the inside." "Oh shit, the door is closed, Saint Barbara must know this." "I could talk to her and explain the situation." "Then, talk." " I can't, I can't." " Why not?" "I said I'd carry the cross to the church, so I have to do it." "And because of that I have to sleep here on the floor." "You came because you wanted." "When I made the promise I didn't tell anything about you." "Only about the cross." "Now you say this, you should've said before." "I didn't remember, and you didn't complain either." "I'm your wife, I have to go where you go." "Let's stay down there until the door opens." "Piss off." "Come here women." "When I call, you come here fast, don't keep talking with the men." " Hello Handsome, my dress is new." "For you." " You brought what I ask?" "Let's talk about this at home." " No way, let's solve this right here." " Leave me alone." " Come on, let's cut the crap." "Give me the money." " The night wasn't any good." " Just this?" "Yes." "The brothel was vacant." "Asshole, I needed that money." "I own two months of rent, and the owner is looking strange at me." "That's your problem, I have a lot to think already." " I know, I know what you think." " I think that in the last 3 months, you're earning shit." " The other girl is earning the double." " How did you know?" "She asked me if I was in need of money." "Handsome!" "You didn't accept money of that bitch, did you?" "What if I did?" "I have to live to." "And what I give isn't enough?" "You understand." "I have my needs, and it's fair that I live thinking about them." "I haven't give you anything you ask me?" "And if you want, I give more." "Don't think that I fear losing you." "But I like to see you with a nice suit." "With a lot of money." "I'm proud, you know." "So, in the next time, don't hide the money in your breasts." "Go home, Marli." "You won't come with me?" "Go ahead and I'll go there later." "What you'll do in the streets at this time?" "Go Marli." " I'll be waiting you." " Go now." " It's yours?" " Yes." " Delivery?" " No, promise." " Haha, that's strange." " I don't think so." "Sorry, I didn't want to be rude." "I'm a devotee too." "Once I made a promise to Saint Anthony." " Marriage?" " No, she was married." "And you got what you asked?" "Yes, I did, her husband spent a whole week traveling." " And you paid your promise?" " No, so I would do any harm to the saint." "You understand." "Saint Anthony would feel bad if he knew that he made the asshole go on a travel." " What is it?" " Nothing, I was just looking." "This bed doesn't look very comfortable." "And you deserve a better thing." "Say that to him, my husband." "Do you know what time is it?" "4:05." " Do you know what time the church opens?" " It's not my business." "Six o'clock it must be a mass." "Today it's Saint Barbara's day." "Six o'clock!" "And I have to wait two more hours on this hard floor." "The door of the sacristy must be open." "The priest wake up early." " But at 4 AM?" " Well, he have to prepare himself to the mass." "Why don't you take a look?" "Rosa, take care of the cross..." "You can go calm, I'll help taking care of the cross." "Both of them." "Yes, but one he carries on his back." "And the other one have to follow him." "And you're not a woman to walk with any men." "You're a cross that anyone carries with pleasure." "Don't do that, mister." "I just want to sleep." "I'd give my life for a bed." "White sheets, and a bowl with hot water to put my feet on." "I could find a hotel near." "Without second intentions, just so you can rest." " I don't want any trouble." " There is no danger, everyone knows me." " Everyone respects the Handsome." " Handsome?" "Just a nickname." "The hotel has a bathroom." "For a tired person a hot bath and a spring mattress." "There is a spring mattress?" " I never slept on a spring mattress." " It's very good." "It closed, there is no one in there." "And I have to stay on this hard floor." "Patience Rosa." "So you will receive a gift." "From who?" "Saint Barbara?" "I didn't made a promise." "Better, tomorrow when you make, the saint will be in debt with you." "I never saw a saint paying a debt." "You must have more faith." "What if Saint Barbara is in the process of paying this debt?" "And who knows if i'm the one who's going to pay." "You?" "Yes, because in 5 minutes I can find a good hotel with a spring mattress." "Thanks, but I can't." "I have to wait until the church opens." "If I knew that no one would steal the cross." "You shouldn't leave it here." " This place have a lot of thieves." "That's what I think, I won't get out of here." "And besides, the hotel isn't included in the promise." "And your wife?" "She's in the promise?" "Rosa?" "No!" "So, if you want, I can take your wife." "At least, she can rest while she waits for you." "Do you want that Rosa?" "You want to wait for me at the hotel?" "It's the ABC Hotel?" " What are you talkin..." " I'm sorry, i've always heard about..." " Trust me!" " It's far from here?" "No!" "It's up the street." "Ideal Hotel." "I'll go with her and introduce her to the janitor, then, I'll come back and tell you the number of the room." "Well, it would be a great favor." "Ze, I think it's best for me to stay with you." "Don't be shy, so you don't need to stay on this hard floor." "Saint Barbara!" "It's going to rain!" "Zé" "Ok." "Here's the money." "I walked 7 leagues, and I have to walk all this way?" "In kilometers, how much is this?" "I don't know, but I know that I cursed 7 times the day that I stealed cashew with him." "So, this is how it happened, huh?" " Do you think he will find his way?" " Of course he is." "This streets are complicated." "We make a lot of wrong decisions in our lives." "I thought that because he had a farm..." "He would give me all that I wanted in my life." "A man, and a house." "When were very honest, we do a lot of bad things." "So, he has a farm." "Now it's just a little place." "He divided it with the poors." " What an asshole!" " It was part of the promise." " What they will think?" " Nothing, I will take you to the room and that's it." "Give me a room, with a view to the sea." " Payment in advance." "I'll pay." "Listen, what's that?" "I don't know, maybe he was with the procession." "But Saint Barbara's procession hasn't started yet." "And have you ever seen someone carrying a cross in a procession?" " It's day already." " Yes, it is." "What are you doing?" "I'm talking to this man." "I'm waiting for you to help me with the mass." "Priest!" "I'd like to talk to you." "Now it's the time of the mass." "I'll talk to you later." "But I come from a long way." " What do you want?" " I walked 7 leagues." " Just to talk with me?" " No, to bring this cross." " And how did you brought it?" "In a truck?" " No, in my back." "Let me see your shoulder." " Promise?" " Yes, for Saint Barbara." "I was waiting for the church to open." "You must've received a great blessing." "Thanks to Saint Barbara,death hasn't taken my best friend." "Even so, don't you think that your promise it's a little exagerated and pretentious?" "Not at all." "A promise is a promise." "If we buy something, we have to pay." "When Nicolau got sick, you don't have any idea of how sad I got." " So, you made the promise because of this Nicolau?" " Yes, Nicolau got hurt for a tree who fell on a storm." " It fell on him?" " Just a branch." "On his head." "When he got home, he was bleeding a lot." "My wife and I treated him." "But the bleeding couldn't be stopped." "A hemorragy." "Come with me." "Let's go, we're late." "So, it was an hemorragy?" "It just stopped when I got cow shit and put in the wound." " But my son, you can't do that." " The doctor said that when he arrived." "He told to get that shit out of there, otherwise, Nicolau would die." "Without a doubt." "So I removed, and the hemorragy started again, like a waterfall." "And the doctor put cotton, but wasn't doing any good." "The blood couldn't be stopped." "So, he said to me:" ""Go and take more cow shit, otherwise he will die"" " And the hemorragy stopped?" " Yes, it is a great medicine." " You didn't knew?" " I'm not interested in this kind of medicine." "Well, the hemorragy stopped, but Nicolau got a fever." "In the next day, something happened." "I left my house alone, without Nicolau." "Everyone found it strange." "Because everywhere I go, Nicolau is with me." " If I was in the mass, he was outside waiting." " Outside?" "Why?" "He isn't catholic?" "He does have a good soul, but that's not the reason." "It's because the priest don't allow." "Just because Nicolau it's a donkey." "A donkey?" "So this Nicolau is a donkey?" "And the promise was for him?" "Yes, when I saw that the prayers wasn't helping." "Prayers?" "What prayers?" "Forgive me, but I tried everything." "The priest I know, is very good in healing." "Dogs, cats, cows." "He can heal all of them just with a prayer." " Everyone says that." " So, this man is a wizard." " Wizard?" "But his prayers are meant for good." " It's not to heal." "It's to tempt." "And you fell into temptation." "Yes." "But nothing could save Nicolau." "I was losing my hope." "That's when a friend said to me:" ""Why don't you go on a house of witchcraft?"" "Witchcraft?" "Wait a minute." "Witchcraft?" "Yes, it is 2 leagues away from my farm." "I know that you don't like this." "Of course." "This is a bad thing." "Like macumba." "But poor Nicolau was dying." "I had to try." "So I did go there, and the a woman said to me that was a thing from the God of Thunder." "And the only way to save Nicolau." "Was making a promise, to the Iñasã." "So, I remembered that she was Saint Barbara." "And then I promise that if Nicolau lives." "I'd carry a cross to her church." "On the day of her party." "A cross heavy as the cross of Christ." " What?" "And you promised that to..." " Saint Barbara." " Iñasã?" " It's the same thing." "No no, it's not the same." "This confusion cames from a long time." "Since the slavery." "The slavers said to his owners that they were worshipping catholic saints." "But they were worshipping their own gods." "Not only Saint Barbara." "Other saints were victims of this farse." "Go on." "I promised to divide my lands too." " Divide?" " Yes." "With other peasants." " Equally?" " Yes." "I see." "Rest." " And the donkey?" " Healed faster than you can think." "A miracle." "The next day he was walking, neighing." "And the next week, everyone was saying:" ""There goes Donkey Ze, with his donkey."" "I didn't care, Nicolau neither." "Only both of us knew about the miracle." "Me, him and Saint Barbara." "In the first place." "Even though Saint Barbara helped." "This is not a miracle." "Only a grace." "The donkey could've healed without divine intervention." "How?" "If he got healed in one day." "And besides, if Saint Barbara was to help, she wouldn't do this in a witchcraft house." "In my chapel there isn't a Saint Barbara." "But in the witchcraft there is a Iñasã." "But this is not Saint Barbara." "Saint Barbara is a catholic saint." "You invoked a false idol, and promise this sacrifice to him." "No, it was for Saint Barbara." "I promised to carry the cross to her church." "And in the front of her altar, I will fall on my kness to thank what she did for me." "Ok." "And after you fulfil your promise?" "I'll go back to my farm." "In peace with my conscience and with the saint." "Just this?" "You don't want to be seen as a new Christ?" " Me?" " Yes, you." "You carried a cross just like Jesus Christ." "You want to imitate the son of God." "But I didn't want to imitate him." "You said that would carry a cross as heavy as the one who Christ carried." "And this is a proof that you falling into a greater temptation." "You want to be like the son of God." "No, father." "So why are you doing this?" "To save everyone?" "No." "To save your donkey." "And he's a donkey with a christian name." "But Father, it's wasn't God who created the donkeys?" "But it's not the same thing." "The donkeys aren't here to save his sons." "But to help us." "For you, for me, for the humanity." "But Nicolau isn't a simple donkey." "You don't know him." "He has the soul of a man." "He can have a soul of an angel." "You're not allowed to enter here." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Father, listen." "I promised to take the cross to the altar." "I have to fulfil my promise." "You should've done this promise in a church." "Not in a witchcraft house." "But you can't do that." "I walked 7 miles." "The church isn't yours." "It's God's church." "You will disrespect my authority?" "Between you and Saint Barbara." "I chose Saint Barbara." "Close the door, let everyone enter through the sacristy." "He can't enter with the cross in that door." "Good morning." "You article about the game sucked." "You need to learn the new rules." "We don't want a good article." "We want an article that sells." "Understood." "BUt it's not everyday that we have a good subject." "Make one." " Can I go?" " Not yet." "Not yet, I want you to find a devout who carried a cross around the city." "He came from a farm." "Where is him?" "I don't know." "Find him." "It must be a crazy guy." "But is news." "And this story about the devout?" "It's within the new rules?" "Who knows." "It depends on you." " What is it?" " He want me to follow a guy who think that is Jesus Christ." "Good Morning Blondie." "Thanks." " Good morning my child." "Good morning." "Good Morning Blondie." "I never seen a day like this one." "Today I will salute Iñasã." "Please lend me, 2 $." "You and your verses..." "Did you see that guy?" "He's crazy." "For sure is a crazy guy." "He's wants to do a epic." "An Iliad." "One where Troy is the Moon." "And the Trojan Horse it's Saint Jorge's horse." "I prefer the other one." ""The Black Emerald"" "Another masterpiece." "Like Castro Alves's pieces." "White and red flags." "Iñasã colors." "And you say that don't believe in witchcraft." " I'm only a salesman." " We're both are." "That man is still in the church?" "Yes, it is." "And doesn't look like he's going away." "But I can't let him in." "If I do, this wouldn't be the house of God." "But the house of false idols." "It would be a chaos." "The end of religion." " And he walked 7 leagues with that cross." " Did you see his shoulder?" "It's in living flesh." "Hello!" "This is for the procession of Saint Barbara?" "And what you're doing?" "Waiting for the party?" "It's too early, and you're stopping the vehicles" " I can't leave here." " But you have to." "Let's go." "I want to understa..." "I want to understand you, and everyone." "But no one here seems to understand me." " So, what do you want?" " I want to put this cross inside the church." "Then I'll go." "I'm very tired." " It was a promise, a promise he made." " Promise?" "To put a cross inside the church?" "What's hard about that?" "Speak to the priest and do it." "I can't help you, because I don't speak with that priest." "Who wants? "The Black Emerald"" "Father, i'm not saying that you have to open the door." "I'm just saying..." "I know, I know." "But I told, I can't do anything." "Don't you understand?" "I do." "I think you have to take him out of here." "But how?" "Arresting him?" "You decide." " Ok Father, I'm sorry." " No problem." "Zé, the church isn't open yet?" "It is, but the priest doesn't let me enter with the cross." " Why?" " I don't know, Rosa." "It looks like they're seeing all wrong." "Heaven in hell, God in the place of the Devil." "I agree." "Sometimes we see that we're someone else." "It's horrible." "But this isn't possible Rosa." "I was always faithful to God." "It looks like a punishment." "Punishment?" "Why?" "Just because I made the promise for Iñasã?" "If Saint Barbara didn't like that, she woudn't have healed the donkey." " Zé, forget Saint Barbara, think about us." " Us?" "Think about me, your wife." "What do you want?" "Are you tired yet?" " Zé, let's go home." " I can't I wouldn't be in peace with myself." " You're too much of a believer." " You say that because you don't about what can happen." "More than it did happen?" "There he is." "Good Morning, friend." "Congratulations, you're a hero." "7 leagues carrying this cross." "Heavy, isn't?" "And in a few hours everyone will now about that." " What is the weight of this cross?" " I don't know, I didn't weigh it." "Even though, it's a record." "It's a proof of physical resistance and dedication." "But how this started?" "The donkey got sick, so he the promise to carry the cross, and share his land with the peasants." "Donkey?" "What donkey?" " Why?" "You also think that he isn't worth of that?" " Not at all." "Fabulous." "Share his lands." "Do you want an agrarian reform?" "Agrarian reform?" "What is that?" "Is what you did with your farm!" "Wants an agrarian reform." "What if the government took all the abandoned lands, and share with the peasants?" "It would be a very good thing." "It's against the exploration of the men by the men." "You're from a political organization?" "Once upon a time, they want to make me city councillor." " But this time, mister..." " Donkey Zé, at your service." "Donkey Zé, you will be elected with donkey and everything." "Imagine you walking through the city." "In a truck, everyone applauding you." "Mister, are you crazy?" "This is not going to happen." "Yes, because my newspaper will do it." "And you receive a little amount of money." "Mister, you misunderstood me." "Nobody understand me." "I couldn't convince the priest." "He said that he will not open, and I believe him." "This is great." "This gives us the time to organize everything." "Trucks and all." "Mister, I came walking and that is the way I'll go." "Don't be an idiot, he just want to help." " So, he can help saying to the priest to open the door." "I will talk to him." "Hey, could you take a picture of my store?" "You know, publicity is good." " Thank you." " No problem." "Let's make an interview with the priest." "Go in the sacristy door." "I guarantee that now the priest will open the door." "Everyone is afraid of the press." "I'll go to the store and take a cooffee." "Don't you want?" "A double." "Coffee." " Did he suspect of anything?" " Nothing." "He just thinks about the cross and the promise." " I went home to sleep, but I couldn't." " Why?" " I kept thinking about you." " You better not." " Do you regret?" " Yes." " Now it's too late." " It isn't." "I can forget one night." "We can forget a lot of nights." "I don't know how he didn't suspect." "Makes me angry, I want to tell just to make him angry." "It isn't a bad idea." "He's not a violent man." "Let's sit." "He could leave you here in the city." "And go back to the farm alone." " That would solve everything." " Solve what?" " Your life." "You have a future." "It's no use, that's my life." "And besides, that's the way he is." " But he has a donkey." " Asshole." "I wasn't comparing you with the donkey." "He is a great man, you know." "If he is, why are you so "thirsty", huh?" "Listen, do you think that the priest won't let him enter?" "Didn't you hear what he was saying?" "He is satan." "Satan." "Satan disguised as Jesus Christ." "It's a little harsh to me." "This priest is a rock." "But he will give up." "Now, this is our cause too." "The newspaper's cause." "Close the door." "My son, i'm from a house of witchcraft." "And I know you made a promise to Iñasã." "I'll take to my house, and you leave the cross there." "No, I want the church." "But this priest won't let you." "Let me help you." "No, isn't the same thing." "What do you want?" " It's you who came to talk to me." " You make me want to do things that i'm not allowed." " Good morning." " Good morning." "Journalist, huh?" "Yeah." "They took my picture." "Do you think that they're going to publish it?" "Well, if you were naked." "For sure." "With your clothes on, I don't know." "I knew it." " What are you doing here?" " I want to know why didn't you come home last night." "I was feeling sick, so I went to my hotel." "I'm seeing how sick you are." "Go." " Want to play a hard man around her, huh?" " I don't have nothing with her." " You spent the whole night with her." " Let's go home." " First, I want to solve this problem" " Let's go home, I said." "Leave me, Handsome." "I want to stay here." "I want this peasant to know that you're mine." "He's mine, did you hear?" "I give him everything." "Even his clothes." " Shut up!" " He's mine, did you hear?" "He's mine." "Let's go home Zé, let's go." "That's enough!" "New Christ preaches revolution." "Saint or demon?" "7 leagues carrying a cross and wants an agrarian reform." "It's against the exploration of the men by the men." "Guys, come here." "Let's help this guy in the church of Saint Barbara." " And what about our Capoeira?" " We'll do it there." "Here, the whole story of The Black Emerald Since her childhood until her death." "Do you want one?" "I was thinking." "You fight with the priest could give a good book." "Do you want it?" "I can write." " No, I don't want." " Why?" "It would be nice." " No." " But everyone here reads them, including the priest." "My friend, i'm the most famous poet of Bahia." "If I say that I'm going to write your story." "I'm sure that the priest will open the door, and carries the cross himself." "What is needed for that?" "Well, the paper is expensive, the printing too." "I don't have money." "You will regret, it would help with your situation." " I don't want." " Ok." "It's your choice." "The literature is the one who's going to lose with this." "Hey, go and make a man's job!" " Let's go them." " Even though today we can't take a hard job." " Today we're going to have Capoeira?" "Yes!" "Later we will." "The priest won't let the man enter?" "This priest it's strange." "The other day he forbid me to sell my books anywhere near the church." " Why?" " Let's go inside and I'll tell you." " He said that the story of Emerald was obscene." " Two drinks." "And from that time, the girls of the church don't talk to me, like if I was the devil." "I don't like this priest, but thanks to him, today it's crowded here, and they took my picture." "New Christ preaches revolution." "Saint or demon?" "Give me one." "New Christ preaches revolution." "Saint or demon?" "Little boy." " 7 leagues carrying a cross." " For the agrarian reform." " Against the exploration of the men by the men." " But for the priest, he is satan disguised." "He is a communist." "Don't you read the newspaper?" "The police is sleeping?" "Come!" "Quick!" "For the priest, he is satan in a disguise." "After all, who is Donkey Ze?" "A mystique or an agitator?" "Did you see?" "Things are getting ugly." "New Christ preaches revolution." " Zé, I don't like it." " Neither do I." "Saint Barbara must be punishing me, because I promised so little." " I'm being punished as well." " Saint Barbara is tempting me so I give up." " I almost fell a while ago." " When?" "When that woman said all that." "I kept quiet so I wouldn't kill her." "I have to keep my promise." " All of this is a test." " Sure it is." "And this is the only explanation for everything that happened today." "Saint Barbara used me to put you in a temptation." "I fell a strange force pushing me there." "But if it's Saint Barbara, what could I do?" "You should resist the temptation." "Like me." "It's different, she was testing you, not me." "And if she's a saint and can make miracles." "She can make me do things like I did." "She can put the devil in my body, like she did." " But this is not going to happen anymore." " We'll talk about this later." "On our way home." "New Christ preaches revolution." "New Christ preaches revolution." "New Christ preaches revolution." "Saint or demon?" "Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name." "Thy Kingdom come." "Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven." "Give us this day our daily bread." "And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us." "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." "Amen." "New Christ preaches revolution." "This case needs a deeper study, but we don't have a lot of information." "In a first view, this poor man...." "We can't say that he is only a poor man." "Everything leads us to believe the he wants a mess." "And that he have only bad intentions." "Forgive me, but the matter now is not the man, but the church." "The church's position." "I think that the priest Olavo is doing the right thing." "Even though, I think he's right." "For the people he seems unfair and cruel." "The church looks unpleasant." "Sometimes, it takes courage to assume unpleasant attitudes." "The Monsignor wants us to intefer...." "Not at all." "But we have to find a solution to improve our image." "Without giving up our faith." "I agree." "It would be ridiculous if we treat his men like the witches of the middle age." "Yes, those were other times." "Even though, those were other times." "The church don't allow other beliefs to enter here." "Of course." "In that case, we have to be severe." " Without a doubt." " I suggest that one of us go there and solve this case." "I think that I have the solution." "Hello Handsome, what's the matter?" " You came fast." "Blondie, two drinks." "What do you want?" "If it's about you going back to the police..." " It's not that." "I'm ok." " Take care, we have your file." "I believe, but you're very lazy." "Look at that." "In my times this man would be in jail already." "And you expelled me." " Who's that?" " Don't you read the newspaper?" " If I were you, I'd lock him for a few days" " I have to investigate first." " Lock him, now!" " But why?" "He isn't doing anything." "Come with me, he'll say a story about a donkey." "But don't believe him." "Blondie!" "My friend, wants to talk to you." "Wants to help." "Help?" "Everyone wants to help." "Everyone." " You have very dangerous ideas." " Dangerous?" " I'm just saying my friend." " Friend?" "I see that I have a lot of friends." "Each one trying to help on their own way." " You're a rebel." " I wasn't." "But i'm becoming one." "That's why you're here since very early." "I don't leave here until everyone understand me." "It must be a way, it must be." "I want to throw a bomb in there." "Father!" "Father!" "Father, I walked 7 leagues to get here." "God is my witness." "I did not eat today." "One day, two days, a month." "I'll die of starvation here." "I need you to hear me." "What do you want yelling like this?" "Disrespect the house of God?" "No Father." "I want to remember that i'm here with my cross." "I see." "And that heresy shows how far you are from the church." "But if is like that, God will punish me." "And is not your fault." "It's my fault." "I'm a priest." "I have to accomplish God's will." " You're making me so unhappy." " No." "I'm helping you." "I'm not allowing you to lose yourself in the darkness of witchcraft." "No Father, I just wanted..." "I've been the whole day studying this case." "I read books and I came to a conclusion." "It's that donkey, he is satan." "Just satan could make one do the path of Christ look so ridiculous." "No Father." "No." " Why not?" " Because I know him, he's a good man." "Lucifer was also an angel." "But I know his followers." "Even when they disguise themselves in the sheep's clothing." "Even when they're behind the cross of Christ." "This cross that you want to destroy." " But you will not destroy it!" " The Monsignor is here." "Let him pass." " Monsignor." " I know, i'm dealing with your case." " Good morning Father." " Good morning." " The Archbishop must have sent him." " For sure the Archbishop isn't happy with the priest." "Good for him" "They will say to the priest to open the door." "Go get your cross, you will enter." " I told you that Iñasã would help you." " I knew that Saint Barbara wouldn't abandon me." "If he enters, will be bad for my store." "We want you to think better about this case." "Think in the political side of this case." "I confess that I wouldn't never think about that." "I've been thinking about the religious point of view." "It's almost impossible to separate this two things." "If your saying." "If you take responsability for this decision." "I open the door and let him enter." "No, we can't do that in a such simple way." "We can give a proof of flexibility, and solve the matter without losing our prestige." "Honestly, I'd like to find this way." "And we have to do it." "What we can't do is leave the church empty." "And everyone outside with him." "I bet 100 that the priest will let him enter in the church with cross and everything." "He will not." "Witchcraft is witchcraft." "And a church is a church." " But the saint is the same." " It is, but the priest have to defend his business." " And what you think?" " I think he will enter, but tomorrow." "First, the priest will humiliate him." "And then, he will be affraid of Saint Barbara, and will open the door." "The archbishop sent me here to give a proof of the tolerance of the church." "With those who lost their and are not following the holy path." "But I'm catholic, I don't understand what you say, but I want you to understand that I'm a catholic." "Ok, we'll give you a opportunity." "If you're a catholic, stop what your doing." "Because your being inspired by the devil." "And then, come back to the church." " What?" " Give up on your promise, and admit that.." "It was made for the devil." "Throw away this cross, and come here to ask God for his forgiveness." " Do you think I should do that?" " It's the only way for you to save yourself." "The church gives us priests, the power to change a promise for other." "Zé, maybe this is better." "Rosa, if I do that, I'll be breaking my promise, to Iñasã, Saint Barbara, whatever." "With my authority, I release you from this promise." "Come and make another one." "He's giving you a proof of tolerance." "Now it's up to you." "You have to choose between the tolerance of the church, and your own stubbornnes." "You release me?" "But I didn't promise anything to you." "It was for Saint Barbara." "And if I go back to my farm and find that my donkey is dead?" "It's your decision..." "I can't." "I can't do that." "I can't risk it's life." "Quiet." "That's why you believe in the force of the devil, and not in the force of God." " Because everything you do, is with the force of devil." " Goodbye Father Olavo." " I can't do anything." " Monsignor." "Let me explain." "My brothers." "No one can accuse us of intolerance." "Because false prophets and false christs will appear." " And they will try to deceive you." " I don't want to deceive nobody." " You will." "And everyone would follow you." " I don't want that." "But they would." "Like they are doing now." "Without knowing that you're satan." "Father, I can't take it anymore." "For Saint Barbara, for satan." "I will enter!" "Close the door!" "Here is the proof." "A catholic don't do that." "Officer, arrest this man." "I can't do that." " What are you waiting for?" " Wait a minute." "Who's that?" "Police?" "Did you report him?" "In a while you'll be free of that idiot." " You shouldn' have done that." " It's for your own good." "For our good." " No." "Not like that." " It's done." "Please, give a word for our newspaper." "Good afternoon." "The channel 5 is in front of the church of Saint Barbara." "To describe this scene." "Let's interview Zé." "Have you ever done a miracle?" "Leave him alone." " Just a word." " Leave him alone, I told you." "It's impossible to describe what's happening in here." "He's dying, save him." "It's my son, please save him." " I can't, I can't." " Put your hands on his forehead." "I don't have any power." "#CAPOEIRA# (The mix of fighting and dancing)" " Don't you want to eat, my son?" "No." "Little girl, don't you want?" " No." "Tomorrow you will enter." "I will write the story of this priest." "I know some secret things." "And we can lie too." "And we will se if he opens or not." "Eat, it's free." "If you promise to stay here," "I promise to bring you food and drinks, for free." "I don't care." "Please." "I don't want." " And you?" " No, thanks." " What's the matter?" " I want to go home." " Alone?" " No." " I thought you were tired of me." " I'm tired of this bullshit." "Leave that cross, and let's go home, before it's too late." " What are you affraid of?" " Everything." " You're affraid of yourself." " It's not me who's in danger, it's you." "Good girl." "But she's married with everyone." " I need to talk with her." " Why?" "That fight wasn't enough?" "But I need Zé, I need." " Blondie, did you see Handsome?" " He was here earlier." " I know, that's why i'm asking." " Ask her." "Maybe she knows." "She plays a saint." "But she isn't." "I need to talk to Handsome, where he is?" "You fucking bitch." "You're want my husband and come asking me about him?" "I don't need him." "I just want to avoid a disgrace." "If you want that." "Leave him alone." " Where does he live?" " With me." "You're lying, I know that he lives in a hotel." "So go there, and you will see what will happen to you." " Shut up, I'm not affraid of you." " I'm not aff...." "Have you lost your mind?" "Fighting with this bitch?" "You faggot." "Your wife is searching for other man and you keep with this stupid cross." "This is part of the promise?" "Asshole!" "Zé!" "That's the problem with women." "Soon I'll write "Blondie is affraid of a knife"" " Tonight we'll go away." " Let's go now." "Let's wait until the end of Saint Barbara's day." " Maybe it will be too late." " Why?" "To go back, listen to me, we should go home right now." "Stop it!" "That's a tribute from our customers." "And after you enter the church, you will go on a parade in this truck." "And then, the governor will meet you." "Mister..." " Don't worry, you just have to say 1 or 2 words." "Please, leave us alone." "We're going home." "No no, the newspaper spent the money already." "It's very easy to carry a cross through 7 leagues." "But a newspaper it's much harder to make." "Screw you." "We just want to help." "They help to fuck our life." " Where are you going Rosa?" " I'll be right back." " Where are you going?" " In the hotel, I forgot my tissue there." " Leave it, I'll buy you another." " Why spend money, Zé?" "I like that one." "Don't give up mister." "Today is Iñasã day." "And on the witchcraft house, she is possessing the horses right now." "Go there and you'll see." "Let's stop here." "Otherwise it will be a long way back." " You're going back?" " Of course." "I just wanna know what they're going to do with him." " This is with the police." " Police?" "They're going to arrest him?" " They think that your husband is a dangerous man." " It's your fault." " The newspaper said that." " But you could help him." "Please, help him." "Please." " No one enters here." " Why?" " We're the police, that's why." " I'm a journalist, I have the right." " Police is here because of him." " I told you that you'd fuck his life." "News is news." " Go home, you're going to be arrested" " The police just arrived, go home." " I didn't kill, didn't steal." " I'm just saying, with the police, the best thing is to run away." " Go, we'll hide the cross." " And tonight, he'll take it to Iñasã." "Zé!" "Zé!" "The police is here." "Let's go." "Go home, my son." " Let's go, Zé." " Saint Barbara left me, Rosa." "Abandon the promise, she doesn't want you to fulfil this." "Now I have to fulfil, even if isn't for her." "Just to be in peace with myself." "Let's go Zé." " That's him." " Your papers." " Papers?" " ID." "Mister, i'm here to keep a promise." "Saint Barbara knows me." "I don't need an ID." " Keep a promise?" "Do you think we're idiots?" " Now he will talk about the donkey." "He will talk about that in the station." "Let's go." "Follow me." " I can't." "I can't leave here." " Why?" " The promise, officer." " Nobody talked to you." " The priest said that he threatened to enter in the church." " I've heard he saying that he was going to throw a bomb." "A bomb?" "I want you to explain all of this." "Let's go to the station." " Let's go." " Let go of me." " Are you going to fight?" " If he fights, it will be worse." "You're wrong, I'm a good man, I'm here just to keep a promise." "The priest can say that to you." " It's a lie." " You can't say that is a lie." "He made a promise inspired by satan." "He had all the time to regret." "God is my witness that I tried to help him." "But he doesn't want help." "And that's his problem." " I won't go to the jail." "I did nothing wrong." " So, you have no reason to react." "Let's go." "Arrest him." " Don't do that, my friend." " No, Zé." "I won't leave here." "Only dead." "I swear for Saint Barbara." "You're not arresting anyone." " Zé." " Don't come in here, Rosa." "Be careful priest." "Zé!" " Holy Mother." " Get out." " I want to bless him." " Why?" "He isn't the devil?" "Go." "Quick." "The End"
