[Matias singing]
Oh, I recognize this tone of voice ♪
A mix of fear and ♪
Hi, Monkey.
I thought you were gonna wear
your new clothes.
You didn't like them?
I did.
You don't have to worry about your mom.
I'll handle her.
Come here, sit with me.
I'm trying to play that song
you were singing the other day.
Can you help me?
[both singing]
Oh, I recognize that tone of voice ♪
A mix of fear and desire ♪
I applaud your courage to call me ♪
I thought I was just feeding ♪
Crazy thoughts in my head ♪
But when I heard your voice ♪
I let out a sigh of relief ♪
So much love kept inside for so long ♪
[footsteps approaching
[eerie music playing]
What is it, honey?
I'm sorry.
No, it's okay.
I also make mistakes.
Wanna know one mistake I made?
I didn't acknowledge that you grew up.
You're curious about
the Healing House, right?
[Matias sighs]
Last night I had such a beautiful dream
I had a dream you inherited my gift,
the gift of healing.
And I believe in that.
I know that at the right time,
you'll be by my side,
helping me.
[dog barking in distance]
[doorbell rings]
Are you here to buy lingerie?
Let me get some pieces for you.
I have beautiful, imported pieces
Janice
Police.
[tense music playing]
I'm terrified of the police.
But I swear I've never done
anything wrong. I swear. [laughs]
You never heard from Janete again?
She never came looking for you?
Never.
Sometimes I think of the worst.
That my sister is dead.
I apologize,
it really hurts to talk about this.
If we could stop
You sure you don't want to take a look?
I have some very unique pieces.
It would be a huge help.
Take a look at this lace.
See what you think.
Janice
I said I don't want any.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
It's just that I feel guilty.
Brandão is the scariest man
I have ever seen in my life.
And Nete asked me for help,
and I left her alone with that monster.
Pregnant with his child.
Janete was pregnant?

CHIEF OF POLICE LAMENTS CASE FILING
PROSECUTOR DROPS CHARGES
AGAINST MATIAS CARNEIRO
[woman] Every victim must be heard.
It doesn't matter if the accused
is Matias Carneiro or the Pope.
If there is a crime,
there must be justice.
No matter who it hurts. Thank you.
- [reporter] Just one more question.

Good afternoon.
DEPARTMENT OF CRIMES AGAINST WOMEN

COFFEE SHOP ON THE AVENUE, 4PM
ABOUT A FALSE MESSIAH.
- Thank you for coming.
- Start talking.
I
I watched all your interviews.
I believe you still want to get Matias.
I can help you prove
he's not just an abuser.
- He's a thug.
- What's your name?
Or do I have to take you
to the precinct to find out?
Verônica Torres.
I was also on the force, but
- Long story.
- Let me ask you something, Verônica.
Is there anyone in the world
you really love?
It's who Matias will target.
And Matias won't stop
until you lose everything.
A piece of advice?
Give up.
Don't make the same mistake I did.

IT WAS A GIFT FROM MY DAD
- [chimes]

WHAT ABOUT THAT NIGHT AT THE CLUB?
HE WAS JUST LOOKING OUT FOR ME
[door opens]
[door opens]
[tense music playing]
[Gisele sighs]
[woman] Is there anyone in the world
you really love?
It's who Matias will target.
[doorbell ringing]
[lock buzzes]
- Hi, Paulo.
- May I help you?
I'm Anita.
I used to work with Verônica on the force.
May I talk to you?
Yes, of course.
May I come in?
Okay.
- Please.
- Excuse me.
[door slams]
- [Anita sighs] Well
- So?
It's not easy to talk about this.
Verônica was pregnant
when she was murdered, wasn't she?
Yes.
Did you know about this?
No. No, I didn't know.
I found out after.
I don't think Veronica even knew.
At the time, she was obsessed
with the "woman in the box" case.
- Janete.
- That's right.
- She never came looking for you?
- Janete?
No, never. No
So, she's alive?
Maybe.
[Rafa] Leave me alone.
I didn't touch your phone.
So, who read my conversation?
- Don't lie, Rafa.
- Lila, stop.
Hey! Hey!
- How are you?
- [Paulo] We have company.
- Hi.
- Hi, beautiful.
[Paulo] Hey
- How old are you?
- Twelve.
- [Anita] You're all grown up.
- [Paulo] Yeah, a big girl.
[Anita] So cute.
[Anita laughs]
Well, Paulo, that was it.
Okay. [clears throat]
[Paulo sighs]
[Paulo] I'll walk you out.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
I went to get this a month later.
Your ashes.
And now you're here.
Jesus, this is crazy.
That's crazy
Where were you this whole time?
Close.
Explain.
I can't get you involved, Paulo.
I'm already involved.
I grieved your death.
I I went through hell with the kids. I
[melancholy music playing]
I was fucked up because of you.
I wanted to die.
I know.
I
I found a mafia.
A very dangerous mafia.
I had to disappear to protect you guys.
- I had to die.
- Do you have any idea what you did?
You didn't have the right
to do this to me.
You know that, right?
- Are you listening to me?
- I always listened to you.
[cell phone ringing]
CARLA - INCOMING CALL
DECLINE
I always listened to you,
but you were never honest.
You don't trust me.
You never trusted me!
Of course I do.
I trusted you with the most
precious things I have, Paulo.
[sighs] Oh, my God Lila and Rafa
- You abandoned your children.
- Don't say that.
- You abandoned your children.
- Don't say that.
What am I supposed to tell them?
I can't come back yet.
Stay away from Anita.
Let me know if she comes back, okay?
Don't trust her.
I have to go.

Oh, you look so pretty, honey.
Am I right, Gi?
- Yes.

Let's go.
[Matias laughs]
[moans]
[suspenseful music playing]
[music continues]
Get the sheet music ready, Monkey.
[camera clicking]
What are you doing here?
Look at this.
Take a look.
These files.
Have you ever seen any of these women
in your house seeking Matias' cure?
My dad cured them all.
Matias abuses these women,
and you were pretty close to the truth.
No.
Sorry, I heard you talking
to Carol at the club.
Why do you think Mônica
was crying naked at your house?
- Matias abuses these women.
- [tense music playing]
I'm calling security.
Has your dad ever taken a man
to be cured at your house?
Tell me.
Your dad is a criminal.
He thinks he's above good and evil.
But I won't let him hurt anyone else.
Not those women, nor you, or Carol.
Leave.
You're inside that house,
you know the truth,
you can help me save these women.
Leave!
- You can help.
- Get out of here!

Calming down your ♪
Just a second, I'm sorry. Hold on.
- It's "calm down," then "calming down?"
- [all] "Calming down."
I'm sorry, I got confused. My mistake.
Let's take it from the next part, please.
Let's go.
No rush, I know I will ♪
Find you ♪
Find the time ♪
- [choir] To heal me ♪
- [Matias] ♪ To save me ♪
- It's "heal?" I said "save."
- [all] "Heal."
Sorry, I'm getting it all wrong.
It's Ângela's fault.
She didn't teach me right. Right, Monkey?
Tell me, Carol. Is it my fault or hers?
- Hers, of course.
- [Matias] See, Monkey?
Dad, stop.
[Matias] To err is human,
but to blame
someone else is divine! [laughs]
One more time.
But first I want to talk about posture.
In order for your voice to be powerful,
everything has to be aligned.
Here. Nice and loose Loosen up.
That's it.
No tension. No tension in the jaw.
The power comes from here.
Here, from the abdomen.
That's right. Breathe.
There.
Check it out.
Feel it. Here.
[Matias exhales]
See? It comes from here.
Let it go.
Let's see, Carol. Posture.
Yes, chin straight ahead.
That's right.
[Matias] Here.
Perfect.
That's right.

[footsteps approaching]
Leave me alone.
No.
Look at me, Ângela.
Is it because I mocked you?
I was just kidding.
I'm sorry.
One day you told me
we could run away together.
- Did you mean it?
- Yeah.
I I meant it. Of course.
[romantic music playing]
[Carol] I love it.
Let's go back.
[mouse clicking]
[typing]
[faint bang]
[suspenseful music playing]
IT MUST BE HARD BEING DEAD.
COME TALK TO ME. GLÓRIA
- [indistinct chatter]
- [phone ringing]
CHIEF OF POLICE
[Glória] Come in.
Did you like the flowers?
[Verônica] I brought you a gift also.
Sit down.
If you didn't die at that farm,
can I assume you're the Box Killer?
[scoffs]
You don't believe that.
Otherwise, I would be in jail.
Identity theft is also a crime.
Tell me your story.
You have half an hour to convince,
Verônica Torres.
MATIAS CARNEIRO
MATIAS CARNEIRO ASSAULTS
MISSIONARY MATIAS CARNEIRO ACQUITTED
FROM CHARGES OF SEXUAL ASSAUL
[tense music playing]
ACCUSED
WHORE WHO ACCUSED
MISSIONARY MATIAS EXPOSED
I was there, naked, unprotected,
in that man's hands
and his wife's.
I could only photograph those,
but there were
I don't know,
almost a hundred files like those.
Actually, they weren't just files.
They were confidentiality agreements
that they were forced to sign.
- And how can you prove the abuse?
- That's why I came to you.
I really need someone trustworthy
inside the system
to help me prove that Matias is an abuser.
We already have the victims' names,
addresses, phone numbers
If one of them agrees to report it,
we can
It's their word against Matias'.
It's not that simple.
You know what he'll claim,
like so many others do?
That it's not abuse, that it's not rape,
much less sex.
It's the healing process,
an energy exchange.
And they believe it,
because they want to believe.
So, what do we do?
We're just gonna sit here
when we know this is happening?
You're the chief of the department.
We have to do something.
Yes, I am.
That's why I know who we are dealing with.
[sighs]
And don't talk to me like that.
I'm sorry, Chief.
SÃO PAULO POLICE
Do you know who she is?
I read about her case.
Come with me.
[woman] How could I ever imagine
that the wife would just stand there
while her husband abused me?
Watching the whole thing, emotionless?
How could they do such monstrosities to me
when they have a daughter?
A child, a little girl,
who was probably sleeping
somewhere in that same house,
without the slightest idea
of what her parents were doing to me.
- [man] Are you still a virgin?
- What?
[man] You probably aren't
Judging by the photos
and videos you post on social media.
How do you expect anyone
to believe your story?
Those are work pictures.
Is he allowed to talk to me like that?
My doctors said
my condition was inoperable.
[dramatic music playing]
I was at the height of my career.
I was photographing fashion shows,
magazine covers
I was desperate.
I needed help.
That's when you met Matias?
First at church,
then he invited you to go to his house,
and you did.
I felt
special.
And everything really was beautiful
in the beginning.
He and Gi treated me like a queen.
I didn't even feel sick anymore.
[Verônica]
And did he offer you treatment, a cure?
After dinner, they took me
to a room, a
weird room.
It was there.
[Verônica]
What happened in that room, Hilda?
[music continues]
I took off my clothes.
When he started taking his clothes off,
I thought it was strange.
I got nervous.
And his wife was right there,
watching everything.
I trusted my life
[Hilda sobs]
All of a sudden, he
His body was
on top of me.
[emotionally] He had sex with me.
I'm so sorry this happened to you, Hilda.
I mean it.
But he didn't have sex with you.
He raped you.
You were raped.
I didn't react for three days straight.
It was very brave of you to report this.
Very.
It was like going against God.
And you know the worst part?
A few months later,
the tumor regressed.
One way or another, he healed me.
Sometimes I wish I had died.
[Hilda sobs]
[sobs]
- [Prata] It's not safe to come here.
- [Verônica] I won't take long.
Did any inside information
about Nelson leak?
Oh, forensics found remains
of the bomb in the car. Bombing.
But the case is on Anita's desk, so
- It won't go anywhere.
- No.
You're right, I have to go.
But first I want to give you something.
[Verônica] Do you think Davi can help?
- Davi?
- Yes.
Hm. I don't know.
My husband doesn't know
you're alive. Verô.
I know, Prata, but I can't go ask around,
"Hi, have you been abused by Matias?"
But Davi can. He's a journalist.
The press has helped catch many abusers.
Look, all these women
were abused by Matias. All of them.
- This guy's a monster.
- Did any of them agree to report him?
Yes, a while back, but
Nothing happened, he came out clean.
But come on!
I want to believe times have changed.
I hope so.
Talk to Davi.

[music continues]
ADMINISTRATION
[Matias sighs]
[Matias] Hmm
How are they?
Very excited.
It's their dream, right?
Everybody wants to leave
this miserable country, Matias.
I don't.
[Olga] I'll take you there.
[tense music playing]
[door closes]
[Olga] Today was a very good day, Matias.
[Matias] Hmm
[Olga] New kids arrived and
[continue indistinctly]
[tense music playing]
["Falo" by Carne Doce playing]
[Olga] Sandra!
Great.
Throw your hair back.
Great.
Tilt your head a little bit Great.
Annelise, in the middle, please.
Relax, Annelise.
They want to see how pretty you are.
Great, Annelise. Thank you.
Carolina!
["Falo" continues]
[Olga] Relax, Carolina.
Posture.
Lift your chin up a little bit.
Loosen up, Carolina.
Loosen up. That's right.
Great. Let me see a smile.
Beautiful smile.
[camera clicks]
[camera clicks]
[Olga] Great.
Hey! Miss! What are you doing here?
[running sounds]
[man] That way! Go!
There's no one here.
[guard] Did you find anything?
[Olga] What is happening here?
- Just a curious loser.
- [Olga] Handle this!
- [woman] Okay.
- Handle this! I don't want any trouble.
Okay.

NEW MESSAGE FROM CAROL
DID SOMETHING HAPPEN?
ARE YOU OKAY?
I GOT A SCHOLARSHIP TO STUDY IN SPAIN!
ISN'T THAT GREAT?
ARE YOU GONNA LEAVE ME ON READ?
COOL
CAN I CALL YOU?
[cell phone ringing]
Hi, Carol.
What's with the voice? What happened?
I thought we were running away together.
Run away to Spain with me.
He just wants to take you away from me.
Who? I don't get it.
I have to go. I'm sorry.
Ângela?
[suspenseful music playing]
[indistinct chattering]
[Matias's voice echoing indistinctly]
[music continues]
[Gisele] Ângela.
- Does your dad know you're here?
- Sorry. I'm leaving.
Does he know or not?
He said I can help in the Healing House.
- He dreamed that I have the gift.
- [gasps]
Look at what you make me do, Ângela.
[Ângela sobs]
You know what your problem is?
You think you're an adult,
but you're a child.
Stop! Stop crying!
Crying won't make me feel bad, okay?
"Gift"
The only gift you have is
to pitch your father against me.
But I won't let you.
I won't protect you this time.
- I'm sorry, Mom.
- Ouch!
[Mônica groaning]
You should never have been born.
[banging on door]
[Glória] It's me.
Anita Berlinger
Carlos Alberto, of course.
It's a masterpiece. Congratulations.
I knew I would find him here too.
Codename Tenor, international trafficker.
Of people, not drugs.
Real name: Pablo Albacete.
That's how he's listed
in the church's books.
This one has a picture but no name.
Forged document.
It's human trafficking, Verônica.
They sell these kids,
and get paid in donation.
So, the House of the Saints
is the core of the operation.
That's where they groom the kids.
First, they evaluate them, train them.
They educate the best ones,
then arm and infiltrate them.
The rest [scoffs]
become merchandise.
He wouldn't lose an investment.
Human trafficking
is a huge operation, Verônica.
If we can prove it, we get this asshole.
[Matias] Your mom told me, Ângela.
[tense music playing]
This is a very special night.
It's Ângela's first night
with me in the Healing House
and Lúcia's last night in our home.
- Isn't that what you wanted?
- Matias, I can do
Get some rest, my queen. You're not okay.
Now it's Ângela's turn.
[silverware clattering]
Do you think of going back to them?
To your family?
All the time.
Every minute.
But I couldn't
I couldn't bear to lose anyone else.
I lost a lot of people already, Glória.
[melancholy music playing]
My mom, my dad, Carvana
[sighs]
And now, Nelson, Janete.
There's no turning back.
This is Gabriel, my son.
[Verônica] Oh! He's beautiful, Glória.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
If you investigated, so you know.
Two cars cut us off.
They fired 40 shots.
Forty.
[melancholy music playing]
Two bullets hit me.
None in my head or chest.
But Gabriel
Gabriel was between life
and death in the ICU.
[sniffles]
The doctors had lost all hope.
That's when Matias showed up
in the hospital with that
That stupid smile on his face.
He said if I bowed to him and begged him,
he would heal my son.
He just wanted to humiliate me.
I did what he asked, Verônica.
- I begged for my son's life.
- Of course.
[sniffles]
A month later
A month later,
Gabriel was discharged from the hospital.
In a wheelchair, but alive.
Matias has the gift of healing,
and that's very disturbing.
You don't believe me, right?
I believe your faith, not his.
I believe in you.
I need you.
We can't catch a guy like Matias
by going by the book, you know?
Because he makes his own rules.
We need to go big or go home.
[suspenseful music playing]
[religious chanting playing]
[Lúcia gasping]
[Lúcia] Matias gave me back my strength.
- My hope.
- [woman] Hallelujah!
I don't feel pain anymore.
I'm not scared anymore.
All I want to do is live!
[all applauding]
MARTA
[Lúcia] I have faith.
[Matias] Who else has faith?
YOUR FRIEND IS IN DANGER
[applause]
Let's heal these people.
[woman] Thank you, Matias.
Who are you, child?
Marta.
Do you have faith?
Marta?
Do I know you?
I
I've been coming every week, because I am
I'm barren.
I can't keep a pregnancy.
My biggest dream is to have a child.
[sighs] I would do
anything for this miracle.
Dad, I felt so bad for this lady
Did you see how sad she looked?
Can we invite her to our house?
- I need some more information, Antônia.
- Please, I already told you all I know.
I don't want to get involved.
Just one more question.
The woman who came looking
for you, Janete
Is this her?
[suspenseful music playing]
Yes.
It's her.
I'm so touched.
I have no words to express my gratitude.
[Matias] Come in, child.
Welcome.
Make yourself at home.
Wow, I can't even believe I'm here.
