That morning I read on a newspaper that the president of the United States,

the most powerful man in the world, in his first thousand days as president,

managed to say 13 ,000 lies, tweeting himself

that this was a bludgeoning lie.

It's the sign of the times.

The sick people can't stop lying.

It's a drug that creates more dependence on

cocaine and methamphetamine.

I'm so sorry.

People want to be deceived.

They prefer a soft lie rather than the pain of truth.

Aborto invidiato questa gente.

La loro infantile innocenza.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Father Henry.

I'm Filippo. Hello.

I had to walk.

Everything is going so fast because of the heat.

I'm sorry.

My stomach's been upset for over a week.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Father Filippo.

Father Filippo? Yes.

What a big honor.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

It's not necessary.

You need space. You need space to bless the statue.

So, please.

You can sit.

Coffee?

Thank you.

Thank you.

There was a big trouble for you.

Yes.

Okay.

Is this a good position?

For the blessing, I mean.

Well... Well, we can move her. I think there's a small misunderstanding.

I can't investigate it just like you.

Not to bless it.

Are you not a priest?

Not that kind of priest.

But you are a priest.

Yes. Then you can bless it.

Good morning.

She can't speak.

Since she was born?

No. Since four years.

Since... Since the day we lost my son.

That was the first miracle that came into our house.

Like Zacharias.

He also... And the angel brought in the news.

So... The first time Mary cried was in her room?

Yes.

Can I have a look?

No, I'm sorry.

Can I ask why?

Well,

I come back when it's less crowded.

She says that he's lost.

But that he'll find God before he leaves us.

What's going on?

And maybe this is a test?

And what about the girl?

What about her silence?

Is it mental?

Physical?

Could she even be thinking?

I don't know.

Some people say her head hit something on the Black Day.

The doctor said she will never be able to speak again.

Good morning. Welcome.

Thank you.

It did? The right place for the bishop's office?

I do hope so.

Forgive me, but I couldn't help noticing your accent.

From Spain?

Italy. Ah, Italy.

Beautiful country.

What brought you all the way to Limbu?

Have you heard about this Quang statue?

Of course, who hasn't?

Most curious, isn't it?

Yes.

I'm here to investigate it.

How interesting.

Do you acknowledge it?

Possibly.

Although rejecting would be more logical.

Well, there's always a theoretical chance.

Really?

But in real life, I'm guessing that most cases are fabricated.

The wicked living long in their wickedness.

Although one also could argue that miracles are good news for the church in

these incredulous times.

Not really.

The fake miracles will be exposed in the end.

And the church cannot afford any extra bad publicity these days.

Excellency.

Later, later.

Forgive me my playfulness, esteemed colleague.

This is the only pool place.

This palace wasn't built for these heat waves.

I will be honest.

Your reputation traveled ahead of you.

Leaving a trail of dismembered miracles.

From Syracuse to Ljubljana and all the way to Aleppo.

Bleeding hosts, apparitions of the Virgin Mary and many crying statues.

All rejected.

You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

But the truth is often invisible.

Maybe.

But both the lies and the liars will be exposed.

Liars? Who says there are liars in this case?

And do you take fingerprints and

DNA samples as well?

Are we talking about a crime here?

Or an innocent miracle? It's not innocent, Father.

More and more parents in the region refuse to vaccinate their children.

And at least four people stop their medical treatment.

Isn't that their own free choice?

It's dangerous.

I saw people die because of those fairy tales.

The church can no longer force its way of believing on them.

They are not children. That's right.

So don't treat them like children.

Please, let's not argue.

You also believe that God has sent you, right?

So all I'm asking you is that you listen carefully to his voice.

The village is deeply traumatized.

There's a lot more hidden under the surface than abandoned mine shafts.

Thank you for your concern.

Your

request

is noted.

Yes.

You can come in.

Is there? Yes.

Holy water?

Yes, holy.

Same water I give to the plants.

Before or after you bless it?

After. I wonder what the bishop will think about that.

The bishop does not think about plants.

Why would I want to bless him?

If the people cannot believe as who can believe, they cannot believe you.

I'm very happy that you came.

In the

name of the

Father, and Son, and the Holy Spirit.

More here.

More from the heart.

Almighty and blessing God.

May it please you to bless and to hallow this statue, which has been made in

memory and honor to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen. Amen.

Thank you.

I was watching television, and I just watched.

some clothes, and then Therese came down.

And she cried.

No sound, only tears.

I had not seen her cry for many years, not after the silence.

So I asked her, what is wrong?

At what time was that?

Yeah, what, past eight?

Yeah. So we went upstairs.

We come into her room, and she points at the window.

And she looks scared.

And then I said, oh, she wants me to look out of the window, because maybe an

accident.

But she stops at Maria in the window.

And, yeah, I cannot understand what she wants.

But then she points real close to the eye.

I see something small, flinching.

A drop of water.

I cannot understand.

A tear? I cannot believe.

So I say to her, I was angry, I say, yeah, you do this, but this is not

But she shook her head. She was very upset.

Yeah, and then I want to go back downstairs again to the TV.

So I want to turn, and then I see how Teresa frees.

So I look where she looks, and then I see it with my

eyes.

A second tear falls out of the eye.

I cannot tell you how that feels.

are getting very warm. My legs are getting very warm.

I have a sharp feeling here, like a knife.

And I shout, and I cannot get breath.

I take Therese in my arms, because then I understand why Maria

cries in our house.

Sure, you don't want anything?

Hello.

Hello.

Are you the man from Rome?

Yes. Hi, my name is Eddie.

Philippe. Eddie Dumoulin.

Nice to meet you.

Can I... Show you something?

This is my family.

That's Michael, Edwin, and that is Joske. That is my daughter.

And that is my wife.

And here is me with Edwin, when he was a baby.

Nice family.

Wait, I have another picture.

Can I?

Listen.

The first bullet hit his stomach.

The second one tore off his jaw.

Up to his ear.

They found the peak of his cheek stuck in a window four meters away.

Last year's my wife and daughter.

Lost all hope.

Five months ago, my daughter tried to kill herself.

But then the Mary cried.

Hey, I don't give a shit if that statue really cried or not. But if you or that

damned Catholic church, that bunch of...

Anything. That takes away the hope of my wife and daughter.

Thank you.

I'm looking for days.

What do you think, sir?

That's just what I think.

And I am so scared myself.

Really? Yeah.

With the raisin.

So there was a full pint and the virgin cried.

Whatever.

This was the first time.

I remember because her mother was on a vacation.

Long weekend.

I stayed over.

What did you see?

Look, we were smoking a lot of weed that night.

It was a short moment, only seconds.

It's not a miracle.

No? I say a lot of things when I'm stoned.

I don't know, and I don't care.

I'm not religious.

Okay.

And what was your relationship like?

It was all right.

I guess.

So why did you do it?

Oh, sorry, huh?

Don't come too close.

Just one last question.

This might seem a bit too personal, but can you confirm that you and Tourette

were intimate?

Yes.

I can confirm that we had sex.

That girl was crazy about it.

What?

You hope she was a saint?

A virgin?

She's the only girl I know that doesn't make any sound when she comes.

Could she have fabricated the tears?

No.

No, that girl cannot lie.

Do you swear before God that you will tell the truth in the following

Can you tell me about the first time you saw the tears?

You don't hear me, right?

Yes, yes.

It's not this.

She understands English.

Yeah, of course. She's smart.

She's not like her mother.

Okay.

Just not shake your head.

Understand?

Were you alone at the time?

Was anyone with you when you first discovered it here?

Oh, come on.

Anyone who could have touched the statue?

Your mother?

Your friend?

I don't know.

I'm sorry.

I'm okay.

I'm all right.

I'm sorry to scare you.

No, no, no.

It's okay.

You don't shame.

It's the statue.

You touched it.

It's very powerful.

No.

It's my stomach.

I only ate some bread.

I would desist.

I think that doesn't mark them.

Please, please, let's continue.

No.

No. No, a meno che non si consideri no. Le solite affermazioni.

Una signora dall 'altra parte della strada dice...

Di non soffrire più della sua emicrania.

L 'influenza di qualche pellegrino che scomparsa così all 'improvviso.

Quanto ti serve ancora?

Due settimane?

Lo spero.

Temo dovrò faticare non poco.

Questa... Questa signora Ponsloktelen... è una grande attrice.

Utfacciata.

Quando gli ho chiesto di poter esaminare la statua, mi ha detto che dovevo prima

pregare.

Filippo... Sì.

See you here.

Se continui a tacere, Signore, chi

di noi resterà in piedi?

Good morning.

Hello.

I prayed.

Really?

What did you hear?

My children should walk in the light, not in the darkness.

Is something about the statue?

No.

And yet, well, the things of God are not painted in black and white, are they?

Don't worry.

I am careful.

So, did you feel her power again?

The integrity of the statue seems intact.

Which is a good thing, but the results are inconclusive.

The statue will need to be scanned in a university hospital to be certain.

They have a room on Thursday or Friday.

You want to take her away from us?

Out of this house?

I'll take you care of it.

It's an important step in the investigation.

Therese can come along.

No, the Mary don't leave the house.

That's what Teresa heard.

Only for protecting like that me.

It is holy.

It gives hope.

Not a toy.

My mother thinks you are a bad person who want to destroy the miracle.

But I know that God has sent you to us.

The same but luckily it didn't bust out again

Don't worry.

It's not a real one.

But it comes from the same factory.

The same mold, even.

This is necessary.

I must rule out any possible natural cause.

Only then the whipping will qualify for Rome as a miracle.

Sometimes the tears can be explained by the transparent glue that was used to

attach the pie to the statue.

Possibly the glue became fluid.

Lewis.

Last night, I woke up.

In my mind, one question was burning.

Is the man from Rome sincere?

Does he investigate with an open mind or with a closed heart?

And what was the answer?

I'm not sure.

Maybe you think I have no feelings, but that's not true. I do understand why

God, out of all people and places, would choose this village for a miracle.

But the facts are just not pointing in that direction.

And there are no healings to support the claim.

This case has the odds against it.

But I do feel your pain.

Really. You feel the pain of burying 11 children in one week and discussing with

the parents if they should be buried in alphabetical order or ordered by age.

No good will come out of this, but I will break a promise.

There has been a healing, but this person asked me to keep it secret.

He was beaten up many times.

He does the shopping 30 kilometers away.

Take the back door.

He's expecting you.

Hello? I am Filippo.

The man from Rome.

Can I come in?

Father, I know you say you're a priest.

It's true.

It's complicated.

You do not look like a priest.

I am a priest.

Can you pray for my son?

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.

And let perpetual light shine upon Rutger.

And let perpetual light shine upon Rutger.

May he rest in peace.

Amen.

Father Henry told me you say you were healed.

I don't say that.

But something happened.

Eighteen years.

I had very much pain here.

I use something for my back almost every day.

Can you see it?

So that changed after the visit to the statue?

I only go there once.

In the evening.

Three weeks ago.

Two days later, I'm standing there, cooking broccoli.

And I feel a very warmth in my body.

Here, and here, and here.

And the pain, away.

the pain come back sometime, but I never used this.

Did you touch the Mary?

No, no, no, no.

It's behind the glass.

I was there for, no, three minutes.

That girl say I can come in.

Not a mother, she don't know I was there.

I never forget.

That girl puts her hand here.

It feels strange.

So many years I only feel hate from the village.

Everybody. But now this girl.

Her brother.

It's dead because my son... But she...

And what did you do in those

three minutes?

You think it is the Maria?

No.

I think it is the girl.

cries in her home.

She's very special.

Maybe all of you.

She sees what people need, that's what they tell themselves.

She sees what is deep inside you.

You leave.

Che differenza pensi di poter fare, tu?

Tu essere umano, tu uomo solo in un mondo pieno di caos.

Tu non sei Gesù.

Persino lui sarà stato stanco di tutta quella gente, qualche volta.

E avrà reagito anche lui bruscamente, scappando.

Ma non sono forse cieco anche io.

Unable to see how dependent I am.

Dependent on the pain of truth.

Why do I feel so close to darkness here?

Così vicino alla morte.

Ma come cazzo è possibile?

Sembri uno dei barboni che vive sulle rive del Tevere.

È tutto sotto controllo. Così non sembra, Santolini. Sei stato mandato lì

condurre un 'indagine, non per finire come un martire. Ci sono delle novità.

Secondo il nostro medico all 'ospedale Santo Spirito, la cosiddetta guarigione

del padre del ragazzo che ha sparato potrebbe essere interpretata come...

The effect, probably temporary, of his new drug.

Yes, I read it.

The physical examination of the statue remains.

Yes.

Yes, well, that's a bit more complicated. They won't let me take it.

You're still fighting with the main suspects.

This girl, this Teresa, is very unique.

I don't understand her. She doesn't talk.

And the reason?

I don't know.

Inizialmente ho pensato che lo facesse per attirare l 'attenzione, ma adesso

sospetto. E lei crede di poter confortare l 'intero villaggio in lutto.

E adesso qual è il prossimo passo?

Padre Henry mi ha chiesto di parlare durante la cerimonia in commemorazione

delle vittime.

Per conquistare la fiducia della gente.

Forse ha ragione.

Sì, forse.

Ma probabilmente con un po' di fortuna.

There will be no need for the attack, nor for me to speak during the ceremony.

This girl is convinced that I was sent here directly by the will of God.

If I will be tougher with her,

there is the possibility that she will tell me what really happened.

Hello?

Your eyes are softer.

I want to see the father of the shooter.

I won't tell your mother.

Is that where it used to be?

Was the window open on the day you discovered the first tear?

Was the weather nice?

You don't remember?

To be honest, I already checked.

The day of the first tear was exceptionally warm.

At 34 .2 degrees Celsius.

But it must have been a very chaotic day.

So maybe that's why you forgot.

I want you to help me.

I need to take it.

For the scan.

Just a few hours.

Can you tell your mother it's okay?

Can you do that?

The Lord be

with

you.

Thank you.

Thank you for watching.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Pronto. Pronto.

No, no, not yet. Yesterday was pretty chaotic.

Not bad.

And your sermon?

Yes.

I heard something during confession.

Some young people are angry, very angry, that you will speak at a memorial

service.

So maybe it's better if we don't. No.

Too important.

We cannot bend to the will of the stick.

Ah, good to see you.

He gets a nice spot on the altar.

Our Italian is fitting for his thinking service.

That's good, isn't it?

Why do you keep lying?

You up?

You just sat there.

Liste, quattordici.

Miriam, quindici.

Cari fratelli e sorelle.

Si.

Yes.

What happened?

What is wrong with her?

Please, sit.

Eat.

Anything wrong with her?

She has fever.

Since we come home this morning.

She don't want to eat. She don't want to drink. Nothing.

She write that she.

Trust Mary.

And she will eat only the hosting.

Teresa wrote something important.

About you.

She gave me this.

Maria held a... Maria cried to get Filippo here.

The first time.

Now she says there's more proof.

A second wonder.

The woman in the wheelchair, she walks except at the moment when you hold the

Maria in your hand.

And she said more.

Strange things.

He thinks that I'm not here.

I have a bad feeling.

I think it's all my fault.

The guests and the TV cameras and all the stress. I think it's too much for

Teresa.

Is it true?

What?

Did she walk?

When you carried the statue.

How long did you hold it?

Twenty -second.

Twenty -five.

Remarkable.

What are the chances?

It is only human to connect things that are not connected.

Just because we are too afraid to accept the randomness of life.

I'll stay here.

Leave it, leave it.

Leave it.

It's because of me.

I shouldn't speak of the service.

You decide.

My God, my God, why have you never spoken?

My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

Brothers and sisters, I know that you have come here to be comforted.

And that is why I want to confess immediately that I have nothing to offer

Today I come here from you with empty hands.

As a priest.

I have no idea what it means to have a child.

To carry him in the womb for nine months.

To feed him in pain and blood.

To feed him with milk from his breast.

How can I tell you about the loss of that child?

Come posso parlarvi dell 'istante in cui quattro anni fa qualcuno è venuto a

bussare alla vostra porta per dirvi che quel bambino che avete fatto nascere e

crescere ora non c 'è più.

Che quel corpo venuto al mondo in maniera così perfetta da farci pensare

sì.

This is a miracle.

I was killed, destroyed by the projectiles.

I know that feeling.

That feeling of abandonment.

That feeling of praying and supplicating

with all our strength, without God listening to us.

I know that feeling of...

In a laboratory where God plays like a

scientist and watches us suffer while an experiment continues that will

always end with our death.

Ha mai ottenuto una risposta?

Non c 'è consolazione, dunque.

Io non lo so.

Chi è stato a fare questa domanda?

Mio Dio, mio Dio.

Perché mi hai abbandonato?

È stato Dio.

In suo figlio Gesù.

Poco prima che lui stesso morisse di morte violentissima.

Lui è solo, è ferito, è condannato

come voi.

Lui soffre.

Don't leave them alone.

Be present for these people.

For all these families in mourning.

I ask you... Actually, no.

I demand... Give us... A sign of your justice.

Of your strength.

Don't stay in silence anymore.

Give me a sign.

What is this?

You know, that's some glue.

And that?

That is right below the right eye.

Tiny cavity.

You could never spot it with the naked eye.

This grey?

Water.

Water? Yeah.

Moisture, maybe?

Condensation?

Could a cavity be man -made?

Unlikely. Here.

Check this.

No traces of tampering.

So, a manufacturing defect.

Look.

I'm not religious myself, but couldn't you call this a miracle just as well?

No.

Because it's natural, not supernatural.

So it's certainly not a miracle.

Niente. Niente di niente.

Perché?

Perché fai questo?

Perché devo portare via loro l 'ultima traccia di speranza?

The doctor says, events of last days,

exorcism.

If a situation doesn't improve, they will bring her to the hospital.

And she says, Teresa wants to see you.

How do you feel?

I had the results of the scan.

You were right.

You were right.

All the time.

After the scan in the hospital, I cannot rule out that the crying is a miracle.

So I will recommend Rome to upgrade the status of the statue to remarkable.

The step before miracle.

I've come to say goodbye.

I'm going back south.

Early tomorrow morning.

There's hope now.

Stop! Stop!
