Don't be scared.

Do not worry.

Who are you?

I amthe angel of peace.

The angel of Portugal.

Look.

And they don't seemto want to stop.

Manuel!

Manuel!

We should pray.

-I believe. -I believe.

-I have hope. -I have hope.

-And I love God. -I love God.

I love God.

Pray for peace.

Thank you.

Professor Nichols.

-Yes. -Welcome.

Please have a seat.

She will join us soon.

Thank you.

Good morning, Sister Lucia.

Of Jesus and of the Immaculate Heart.

Yes.

Thank you for taking the timeto meet me today.

I really appreciate it.

I couldn't imaginemy book completed without you.

I just read and very much appreciated your last work.

-Thank you. -Although...

I don't share most of your views.

No, I suppose you do not.

In your last paper, you wrote,

"All seers are de facto unstable."

I didn't mean to offend you.

On the contrary, I've always been fascinated

by opinions opposed to my own.

Well, then we do havesomething in common.

-I have so many questions, -Sister Lucia.

But let me start withthe most obvious one.

If someone were tosay to you now

why what happenedall those years ago

had to have happened to youof all people,

how would you respond?

Because it was necessary.

Necessary?

To spread her message.

At the time, naturally,

I could not have imagined its importance

nor the consequences.

I was a child.

And do you have any regrets?

Does it look like the world has heard the message of heavenly peace?

Hmm.

This is my only regret.

That I haven't done enough to please my mother.

Which mother?

The Holy Mother?

Please don't let himsay his name.

I promise I will workmuch harder for the church

and to spread faith.

As a family...

Our home will be an examplefor the church.

We will do this for God.

Well, hello, sweethearts.

What are you doing here?

I told him to go with Father Ferreira.

Good girl.

I will go.

-Oh, beautiful. -Thank you, Mama.

Fernanda, look.

Thank you, so nice.

It's nice, isn't it?

My son!

We must be proud of them. These young men

are fighting to keep our country's honor high.

But they also defend our republic.

They defend our progressive ideas

that will free our country from a feudal past

created by ignorance and religious superstitions.

We must all follow the example of Nuno and Ernesto.

Your Lenten fast is over, isn't it?

Let us make a toast to their honor.

Joaquim, I'm buying a round of drinks for everyone. Música!

Francisco!

-Lucia, come with me. -Why?

I told you this morning.

It's time we pray and ask for forgiveness.

She was only dancing.

We promised the Holy Virgin, for Manuel.

I don't think either God or the Holy Virgin

will be upset if a young girl is dancing.

I promised we'd besacrificing ourselvesto get him home.

Yeah.

Francisco. Come and dance.

Lucia! Lucia!

We brought you a treat!

I was hoping you'd come. I'm starving.

But... my mother says a little hunger is good for the soul.

Especially now.

Is Auntie still angrywith you?

-You did nothing wrong. -You were only dancing.

Yes, I know that.

But Mama is scared for Manuel.

What does thathave to do with you?

Mama says I must atone to make him come home.

Come on, let's go.

Let's praylike we did last time!

Ave!

-Maria! -Maria!

How many did you hear?

I don't know. Maybe three.

Ave!

-Maria! -Maria!

-Did you see that? -Was it lightning?

We must go,it's going to rain.

But the sun is shining.

-Help me gather the sheep! -But I didn't see any lightning!

Come on. Run, run! We have to go home!

-Come on, let's go. -Come on, let's go home.

Come on, let's go home. Let's go.

-Let's go! -We need to go!

Another one.

Look.

Who are you? Where do you come from?

Who are you talking to?

-Can't you see her? -No.

Enough of this joke.

Shh!

I come from heaven.

Are you seriously from heaven?

Will I go to heaven?

I can see her now.

What about Jacinta?

Also.

And Francisco? -What?

Same. But...

What did she say?

I'll tell you later.

Our friend, Maria Das Neves.

She's in heaven.

Why did you come? What do you want from us?

You must come back here,

every month at this time,

for the next six months.

Pray the rosary every day

to bring peace to the world...

and to end the war.

The world needs peace.

I want to knowwhat she said about me.

Did you tell her -about the rosary? -No.

So, she said I need to pray the rosary more.

She knows everything, even our most personal things.

Are you sure she's not angry at me?

I told you not to throw stonesat the boys from Boleiros.

Do you think that's the reason why I couldn't hear her?

-Sure it is. -But they beat me up.

I try to run away--Stop it.

So, what do we do now?

She saidwe have to suffer.

Why?

I didn't quite understand.

What are we doing wrong?

I can't wait to tellMama and Papa.

-We can't tell anyone! -We can't tell anyone!

But she said we wereher messengers.

She came to us. It's our secret.

It is a sin to useGod's name in vain.

Do I need to saymaking lies up?

-Give her time to explain. -Forgive me.

I didn't mean to tell them, but--

It's true, Mama. She was so beautiful.

And as real as you are.

She was sad about the war.

But she said she loves us so much.

And she'll be back every month around midday.

It wasn't just me who saw her. We all did.

Yes, but I couldn't hear her, though.

What if they are telling the truth?

The truth? How can you be so sure?

A few days ago, Lucy said she'd seen an angel,

and Manuel wounded.

Auntie, it's the truth!

We saw her.

And we didn't imagine it.

Hmm. Did she say she was the Holy Virgin?

She came from heaven.

-Did she say that? -No.

She did not say who she was.

-It could have beensomeone else. -It was her.

Why would the Mother of Godchoose you of all people?

-What's so specialabout you? -Maria.

How can she beso full of herself?

Antonio,you don't understand.

At first, it was an angel.

And then Manuel.

Now it's the Mother of God.

She must stop lyingjust to get our attention.

I'm not lying!

But maybe...

I don't know.

She was real.

Lucia. Lucia!

Wait, wait, wait.

It's getting late.

We'd better go.

Oh, it's all my fault.

I shouldn't have read The Virgin's Appearance

to the Little Shepherds of Salette.

Good night.

Jacinta, wait.

-Good night. -Good night.

Francisco, Jacinta.

Jacinta,who is younger than me,

was much braver.

-Please forgive me. -I was scared.

I really want tosee you again.

Lucia, is everything all right?

Do you believe them?

I wouldn't know.

They've never told lies.

Thank you. Oh, Father.

Thank you so much for getting in touch with me.

Lucia told me everything.

Forgive me, Father. I don't know what happened to Lucia.

She's always had a bright imagination,

but she seems to have gone too far.

And I've already told you,it is a sin to tell lies.

It goes against God.

Now tell the truth and ask for forgiveness.

It is no lie. We saw her.

And she told us to come back to see her again.

-When is this going to end? -I'm sorry.

Why don't we agree for now

and accept that whatyou are saying is the truth?

How can you be so surethat the lady you sawwas the Virgin Mary?

I just do.

You know, Lucia,someone may have wantedto play a trick on you.

Or worse. It couldhave been the devil.

Sometimes the devil likes totempt young souls like yours.

He often disguises himself,

at times even throughreassuring shapes,

as a way to hide his evil.

Thank you, Father.

Excuse me.

It would be wiseto forbid Lucia and her cousins

to return to that place.

Do you really think she had a vision of the devil?

Even if it were a figmentof her imagination...

if words gets out, considering the time we live in,

it would be dangerous.

Anything related to religion is ill-received by many.

Thank you, Father.

Come on. Let's go home.

Lucia.

Is it you?

Come here.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.

Hail Mary, full of grace.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art though among women,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, O Jesus.

Hail Mary, full of grace.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,

now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.

Have you ever asked yourself

why do the divinities who appear in apparitions

always match the traditional iconography

of the culture in which they appear?

This is certainly true in your case,

as it has been for nearly all religious apparitions.

Doesn't that seem strange to you?

No.

If I follow your logic,there are multiple divinities.

Or it is the unconsciousthat translates each person'sdesire to meet the divine

in images that belong to their particular culture.

You call it the unconscious.

I call Him God.

Who, in His infinite wisdom,

manifests Himself in a form that we expect,

in order to help us understand better.

So you believe that it is Godthat chose the wrong position

for the appearance of stigmataon people's palms.

Rather than the suggestionfrom classic iconography,

such as paintingsand sculpture, what have you?

Because we knowat the time of Christ

Romans used to nailpeople's wrists to the cross,

and not their palms.

Professor...

I can only give you my testimony.

I don't have answers for everything.

-Good morning, Maria. -Good morning, sir.

-Children. -Good morning.

I see you've producedquite a bit of woolthis year.

Yes. With the flock and the crops,

thank God we aren't lacking any food.

Well, you could saythanks to you andyour husband's hard work.

You are one of the feweducated citizensin this village,

and I know howwell-respected you are

for your helpwith the poor and the sick.

That's why the rumors I've heardabout your daughters' daydreams

are, to say the least, odd.

Go finish that over there, please.

They might as wellbe harmful to the village

and to your family.

They're just children's games. Nothing too important.

I will be more careful if needed.

Mayor, you have my word.

Please give your husbandmy regards.

I will.

So, if it wasn't you,

nor Francisco or Jacinta,

who was it?

Hello, Father.

-Father Ferreira, perhaps? -I don't know!

What's going on? -Ask your daughter.

Tell me what happened.

At the market, the mayor said it would be wise

to keep an eye on our daughter

and all of this rambling nonsense,

or else we'll be in trouble.

We've done no wrong.

You really shouldn'tworry so much.

If you want, I can go and have a talk with him.

I already have.

I told him it was a children's game.

-Good evening. -Good evening.

-Maria. -Just a minute.

Here.

Take this.

-May God bless you. -Oh, no, no.

Thank you, madam.

Is this the Santos home?

Yes.

I've come for the seers.

No, we don't have any seers here.

Sorry. We were told she lives here.

Well, they've told you a lie.

If you like, I can give you a cup of broth

and a place to stay.

But I'm sorry to tell you

there are no seers here.

Thank you.

-Good night. -Good night.

Go to your room.

So, do you still think there's nothing to worry about?

Lucia, we have to go.

See what you've done? You deceived everyone.

May God forgive us. Let's use the back door.

Marques, Alberto. 7th Battalion.

Deceased.

I was told she lives here.

Ah, here they are.

Lucia! Lucia! It's time!

What was she like?

Did she speak to you?

Please pray for us. Please. Please.

Ask her to -remember my son. -I'll ask her.

Will you stop? They are only kids!

Please wait! -I beg you!

Let's take the way through the woods.

...Serafin.

Come.

2nd Battalion. Missing.

We must go to church

to thank the Blessed Virgin

for having protected your brother once again.

I can't come to church.

I promised the lady I would go back.

Will you stopdisrespecting your mother?

And the Holy Mother?

-Let's go. -I have to go.

What shall we do?

They're all there.

There she is.

-Look! -Let's go!

Here they are, the seers.

I was worriedyou weren't going to come.

Please. My son, Diogo.

-Can you ask the Virgin Maryto heal him? -Can you help my wife?

Can you ask her to heal him?

Diogo cannot walk. Please.

I can't see her. Lift her.

There she is.

That's good. Very good, girl.

Papa?

Pray for us.

Father Ferreira was right.

I just saw the devil. He hides among the good.

Lucia.

We have to pray.

It pleases me that youhave been praying for me.

You must keep on prayingthe rosary.

You should alsolearn to read.

It is very important.

We will.

We should learn to read.

Diogo is here with his mother.

He can't walk.

He will heal if he starts believing.

Mother, thank you.

She says God will heal Diogo.

He will heal if he starts believing.

What does that mean?

My son is already a believer.

He will be healed, but when?

Wait, Benedetta.

I'm sorry, Mother.

We want to go to heaven with you.

Francisco and Jacintawill join me soon.

But...

But you have to stay.

Jesus has chosen you.

You are going to bethe messenger of faith

in Mary's Immaculate Heart.

Why does it have to be them and not me?

One day...

a long time from now...

I will come for you.

I will neverleave you alone.

She is gone.

Lucia. Lucia!

Jacinta!

Wait, Papa.

Put me down.

Diogo.

Diogo.

You are walking.

There is one other thing.

There was also a healing.

Who was it? Did you question them?

No. He's just a boy.

Diogo Lima.

I know him. When I was a child...

his father and Iwere good friends.

He was paralyzed. Then, suddenly...

for no reason,he's able to move slightly.

Some are calling ita miracle.

A miracle? When Diogo Lima fell from the barn's roof,

I was the one who took him to the hospital in Leiria.

The doctors told me he'd start to walk again

if he really committed to it

and made a great effortin doing so.

So, the appearances,the miracle, the seers--

it's all rubbish.

But I believe that'swhat people want,

nothing else than talesand a divine providence.

We need to stop the wordfrom spreading.

Absolutely, sir.

But it won't be easy.

Thank you, Captain.

Good evening, signora Adelina.

Mayor.

What harm can three little children possibly do?

More than you think.

They are roughly the same age as Victor and Republica.

Can you see our childrenheading up an insurrection?

Adelina, what is dangerous is what they represent.

More dangerous than weapons.

What could be dangerous about meeting the Holy Virgin?

It is a beautiful thing.

And it's wonderful that it happened right here.

You and I, we're so different.

Yet we're good together. Right?

Yes, of course, but...

this has nothing to do with us.

My rivals will use this taleto attack me.

I won't risk my position,my ideas,

everything I've builtfrom scratch,

for the imaginingsof three little children

and some stupid superstition.

Some stupid superstitions?

So you've married a stupid, superstitious woman.

-I didn't say that. -All I'm saying is thatthere was no miracle

or appearance today.

Let's just say that...

it wasn't the Virgin Mary who healed Diogo.

But if he found the strength to walk today, of all days,

and in this specific place,

then it's all down to his faith.

-Mom? -Yes?

I want to learn how to read and write.

-Oh, finally! -I've told you so many timeshow important it is.

Because the lady says so.

Of course.

Now that the lady says so...

Let's go.

I lost my son, and the Holy Mother did nothing.

She let him die, like a dog,

far from home.

Although I prayed day and night!

I don't believe you anymore!

I don't believe anything!

Just go away!

Come with me.

It's best you go home and stop spreading lies.

You should be ashamed of having a daughter like her.

You of all people,who preaches faith and devotion.

If she's crazy,she should be shut awayin a convent.

Do you see what happens when you make things up?

Confess now, before everyone.

And let us getall done with this.

-It's true, Mama. -I saw the lady.

And I'm not crazy.

It takes courage to vent your anger on a child.

You have no children.

And yours are but babies

who live in the warmth of your sound roof.

I cannot hate you,because that would be a sin.

Ah!

"As the Father has loved me,

so have I loved you.

Now remain in my love.

If you keep my commands,

you will remain in my love,

just as I have kept my Father's commands,

and remain in His love."

So Jesus said, "In truth I tell you,

may my joy dwell in you, and may your joy be full.

love each other as I have loved you.

Greater love..."What are youwaiting for?

-Manuel! -Come here!

"To lay down one's lifefor one's friends."

I don't want to go back to the front.

Let me stay.

Forget her, I beg you.

Don't go there ever again.

I can't just--Father Ferreira is right.

The lady is -the devil's daughter. -That is not true!

I don't want to die.

I beg you, don't go back to her.

Then everything will be as it used to.

Manuel, come.

Shh, shh, shh.

-You can't sleep? -No.

Neither can I.

-Papa. -Hmm?

Do you believe me?

I don't know.

I know I'll never leave you.

But I thought it wassuch a beautiful thing.

Yes, it is beautiful.

Then why does it seemlike I'm hurting everyone?

At times, our special gifts

can lead to trouble.

People can get jealous.

Others might not understand.

Get out.

Get out! This is my field!

We didn't knowwhere to settle down.

We're here for the Virgin.

We've all comefrom far away.

You've--

You've destroyed-- This is our crop.

This is--

I'm sorry.

We are going to leaveafter the appearance.

Bless us, O Lord, and these gifts

that we receive by your generosity.

-Through Christ our Lord. -Through Christ our Lord.

-Thanks be to God. Amen. -Thanks be to God. Amen.

Amen.

Give me the wine.

Papa is worried, and it's all your fault.

This coming winter, we won't have anything to eat--

Stop it. Don't insist.

Serve yourself.

At the market the other day,

I saw Dona Clara.

Are you listening, Antonio?

Yes.

Can you help me here, please?

She said she was looking for someone to help her around the house.

And she asked -about Carolina. -No.

But the Gomezes are good people.

Do you think I likedthe idea of sendingour daughter off to work?

I didn't mean to.

I have the feeling we are losing everything we love...

and have built so far.

I feel useless.

I don't want you to go.

I won't.

I beg you!

I don't want other people suffering!

I do this for the sinners!

As you asked!

Where are you?

Where are you?

Where are you?

But how did you, -Francisco and Jacintaendure it all?

You were only ten years old.

But what strikes meeven more

is the message you claimthe Virgin charged you with,

a message of sufferingand atonement.

Why would she choose you,a child, of all people?

There was just one moment

when I couldn't understand.

But we were willing to put up with it all.

I know. It's hard to understand

for someone who's not a believer.

I understand.

Innocent messengersmake the message

all the more sacredand unassailable.

But at what cost?

Do you really thinkthat's what your god wants?

It seems contraryto all logic to me

to ask little children--seven, eight, ten-year-olds--

to sufferand make sacrifices

the way you three did.

Sure, you could tell me thatChrist sacrificed himself.

But he did itfor his beliefs, his ideas.

But he was a grown man.

Faith begins at the edges of understanding.

But it's there wherescientific researchfor the truth should begin.

But then... what is faith

if not the search for truth?

An inexplicable truth...

which breedsirrational hope.

It's far too hot for you here.

No, I'm fine.

Greetings, Mayor. The men are ready.

I can give them the order to have it cleared.

-No, there is no point. -There are too many people.

They're not talkingto anyone.

And nobody believes me.

Can I ask you for a miracle

so that everyone will know you appeared to us?

Soon she will perform a miracle,

for everyone to see,

so you can believe it is true.

So, why doesn't she do it now, then?

He's right!

Because it is all a lie.

There is no appearance -happening. -Shh.

You must pray often.

And suffer greatly.

Sacrifice yourselffor sinners.

To not hurt yourselveswith ropes.

And repeat this prayer.

O Jesus.

O Jesus.

I'm offering you this.

In exchangefor your love.

In exchange for your love.

In exchange for your love.

For the conversion of sinners.

For the conversion of sinners.

And to amend sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

What was that?

That was hell.

Where the sinners'poor souls go.

If we do not stopinsulting God,

there will be a warworse than this one.

This is what will happen

if sinners do not convert.

Do not tell anyonewhat you have seen

until I tell you to.

Why is she crying?

Tell Papa what happened.

The lady told menot to tell anyone.

She said we had to prayand repent for our sins.

-We need to pray. -She's right.

The seer is saying we must ask forgiveness for our sins.

As I told you before,

you can't keep a secret from a priest.

-Father Ferreira is right. -He's a man of God.

Father, I told her, but it's useless.

-This is house of peace. -Please take your guards away.

Rallies are illegal. I did warn you.

Remove all these peoplefrom the church.

They have to go back to wherever they came from. Go home.

Stop! Will you stop, please?

There's no need for violence.

I will exit with all my faithful.

Let the priestguide them out.

Artur, stop. How can you do this?

-This is absurd. -I'm doing this for you.

Would you like people to talkabout a priest in Fátima

who's being fooledby three lying children?

--This is not faith. -This is superstition. -And we both know it.

No. So your answer to this

is pushing out all the faithful who came here for confession

and bolt the church?

Your mother used to come here often,

and she would bring you with her.

-My mother was illiterate. -Unfortunately for you, I'm not.

-I'm different. -Knowledge means tolerance.

Until order is restored,the church stays closed.

He had them shut down the church.

-That's never happened here. -Adelina, enough!

These issuesdo not concern you.

Yes, they do.

-Read this. -It's from Lisbon,

requesting an explanationand instructing meto restore order.

This is not an easy timefor me, Adelina.

Please try tounderstand that.

And don't make thingseven more difficult for me

like you did today.

So, the Virgin has revealed some secrets to you.

Apparently, she told you not to say anything

about these secrets, not even to your bishop.

Yes, Excellency.

But I thought you saidyou could not hear her.

Is that right?

We told him.

We tell him everything the Virgin says.

I am not talking to you now.

So, you said you cannot hear her

because you haven't prayed the rosary enough.

I-- I don't know.

But the Virgindid not explain why,

of all people she might have appeared to,

she chose a boy who doesn't pray enough.

How long is this torturegoing to last?

Father, he's been asking the same question for the last two hours.

As long as the monsignordeems necessary.

Jacinta.

Tell me the truth.

Whatever the truth may be,

it won't only be the parish who will pay,

but all the Church of Portugal.

I want to see Uncle Anastacio.

--Can you go back? -Just go back. -Please. Please.

Freire, Eduardo.

19th Battalion. Deceased.

Filipe, Paulo. 19th Battalion.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

The last time I heard from my eldest son

was two months ago.

Gavinho, Eduardo.

19th Battalion. Deceased.

Mama, are you all right?

Yes.

Sales, Francisco.

11th Battalion. Deceased.

Santos, Manuel.

4th Battalion. Missing in battle.

That's it.

Every time I read the name of one of our boys

who lost his life defending the ideals of our republic ...ma.

I have great -admiration for them. -Mama.

But also immense pain.

Mama. Please.

But today I ask you...

Mama.

...if the Virgin has appeared for real in Fátima,

then why on earth didn't she protect these poor young men

and spare their families this awful pain?

They mayor said he's lost,not dead.

-The lady will help us. -Oh!

You mustn't say her name in my presence!

But it is true, Mama. Ah!

For the sinners--Oh, stop making fun of me!

Do you hear me? Don't make fun of me!

If Manuel doesn't come back, it's all your fault.

Papa.

I'm going to sell the herd.

There's no need for you to go to Cova da Iria anymore.

I understand you are no longer so sure of what you have said.

Yes, she is. Tell him.

-Let her speak. -Jacinta. Shh.

You heard your mother.

Say what you must.

You caused the church to be shut down.

Do you understand how serious that is?

All you need to say now is, "I made everything up."

And everything will be solved.

Thank you.

-I don't know anymore. -Please.

So?

Lucia, you don't have to worry anymore

about what you told me yesterday.

Sometimeswe lose ourselves.

What I need to hear...

is what you are feeling deep down. Hmm?

I will speak to the Curia.

Your behavior is ridiculous.

Excellency. Excellency.

Can we pray with you?

Hail Mary, full of grace,the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art though among women,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners

now and at the hour of our death.

Did you everhave doubts aboutwhat you'd seen?

Did you never once thought,not even later on,

that your imaginationmight have been sparked by--

influencedby circumstances?

War, hunger, solitude.

Lack of affection.

Why would I have?

The Virgin appeared in order to save us

from those circumstances.

The Virgin appearedto save you from--from your mother?

Hmm.

It appears that Jacinta wasthe most mystic among you.

Yes, she was.

-Maybe becauseshe was younger. -She was only seven.

Maybe because you twowere older and she wastrying to outdo you.

No. She was that way.

She had a gift.

Did you see her body after she was exhumed?

-Yes, I saw it. -It was completely intact.

And you naturally believe...

it is just a coincidence?

No, it's different.

I think it's incredibleand unexplainable.

But not everything unexplainableis necessarily transcendent.

Sometimes it's justthat we are limited.

Therefore, fortuitous, unexplainable circumstances?

Sorry.

Sometimes I have to tease you.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be doing my job.

-Which one? -Helping me with my book,

or converting me?

Do what the Virgin tells you to! Pray the rosary!

Rosaries! Rosaries!

Six cents!

Would you like the Virgin's rosary?

-Where are the seers? -It's almost midday.

I don't know, madam. Thank you.

Rosaries! The Virgin's rosaries!

We came to see our children.

We only take orders from the Captain.

-Or the mayor. -The mayor fooled us.

He told us he brought them to Father Ferreira's house.

To question them. And here he is.

-Please, at leastlet me come in. -No.

You must let us in. We need to speak to the mayor.

That's impossible.

I want to see our children!

My child is in there!

-Don't! -No, no!

Go on, have some food. Don't be afraid.

So, why are you doing this? Hmm?

Because I'm hungry.

Not that.

When was the first time you had the idea

of seeing the lady?

Who is behind all of this?

Your mother loved Manuelvery much.

Her only son.

I remember he wasa smart boy.

Handsome, too.

Your mother just wanted himto come home.

For all that time,it was as if you didn'teven exist.

And now Manuel is dead.

And your mother blames you. She's angry at you.

That must be very painful, isn't it?

Well, yes.

Yeah. I understand what it means to, uh...

long for...

to wish for someone's love.

So, uh...

one day you were feeling lonely and hurt.

And you imagined another mother.

And I know you did tell your cousins, "It's all just a game."

But little Jacinta, who worships you, believes your game.

-It becomes real. -That's not true!

I saw her.

But now, if you tell everyone it was just a game,

you know they'll all be disappointed and angry.

And you don't know how to stop this game, do you?

I don't want to fool anyone.

I'm so sorryyou couldn't see her.

Thank you for comingall the way hereon such short notice.

The health authority explained the urgency.

Your medical opinionis very important to us,

and I feel it will help usresolve this matter.

...now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Let me show you where the children are.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners.

Now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners.

Now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women...

I asked you for one thing only--

no to let yourself be seen with those people.

-Free the children. -Let them go.

Adelina, they're being seen by the psychiatrist.

Please don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Just go home.

Are you sureyou're doing this

just because of the pressurecoming from Lisbon?

You should be worrying about our children.

Now leave me and let me do my job.

Answer my question.

Release those children, Artur.

There's a limit -to everything. -Exactly. So please go home

and don't let anyone see youwith those people ever again.

And don't you force me to choose.

Mayor.

The doctor's ready to see you now.

Please send him in.

If you could escort my wife, she was about to leave us.

Yes, sir. What about them?

-What should we do? -Let them pray.

I'm sure they'll gettired of it eventually.

I'm sorry.

I spoke to them in detail.

I didn't find any typeof pathology,

neither physicalnor mental,

that could justifya forced hospitalization.

Well, you could still give me some kind of proof

or a tool to prove their dishonesty.

I mean, this tale would collapse in no time.

The only thingI can give you is this copy

I prepared forthe authorities in Lisbon.

Thank you, Doctor.

Glory be to the Father,

and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

Glory be to the Father,

and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

Over there.

-Mama! Mama! -Lucia!

Lucia!

-Mama! -Lucia!

Oh!

Are you all right?

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

I love you.

Goodbye.

Thank you, Doctor.

She is very weak.

Just a moment, please.

Get her something to eat.

And make sureshe gets some rest.

Try some steam inhalation.

Can you please wait, Doctor?

-Thank you. -Goodbye.

Thank you, Doctor.

We're in dire need now. So where is your lady?

Leave her alone. Stop it.

I want you all here by my side.

All of you.

You, too, Lucia.

Lucia.

Come.

God has given me the blessing.

He wants to take me to Manuel.

That's enough. Maria, please.

Enough of this nonsense.

The doctor did not say you were passing.

Lucia.

Lucia.

Lucia.

I think it's time to go.

I'm sure Mama is feeling better now.

Father! -Antonio, I came becauseI have some good news.

-It's from Manuel. -He's alive.

He's alive.

The military chaplain wrote the letter.

He says he's wounded, but not seriously wounded. Thank God for that.

Thank you.

Lucia. -Manuel is alive.

Manuel is alive!

Manuel is alive.

He's-- He's alive.

Oh, he's--

It appearsyour prayers havebeen answered.

My mother always said I was not good at convincing people.

I have never thought it possible to convince you.

You haven't. Don't begetting too confident.

I hope our meetings will be good for the writing of your book.

Not only in that.

Professor Nichols, your taxi is here.

Thank you. -I'll be right out.

Thank you, Sister.

If I remember correctly,there was a great controversy

over the factthat the Virgin claimed

the war would endon the day of the miracle.

It is appropriate to remind you...

We don't want to wait.

We're tired.

Nobody asked you to come!

She won't come, it's raining too much.

Six cents! Rosaries!

-Rosaries! -Rosaries, six cents!

Blessed by the seers themselves!

Go, go, shout more.

-Rosaries! -Rosaries!

Blessed by the seers themselves!

Rosaries!

Thank you for coming, sir.

-Have I missed anything? -No.

Nothing has happened yet.

Just rain and people praying.

You wouldn't wantsomeone like me

to miss out writing aboutthis possible miracle.

No.

It's the only topicbeing discussed in Lisbon.

Hello, my children.

Thank you for comingto see me.

Can you please tell us who you are?

These peoplewant to know.

There she is.

I am the Lady of the Rosary.

I am going to lead themto my son...

through peace and love.

She says she's the Lady of the Rosary!

Rosaries, now ten cents!

She will lead us to her son

through peace and love.

They must notinsult the Lord,

who is alreadyfar too insulted.

You have to pray.

Pray the rosaryevery day!

And you mustn'tinsult the Lord.

He's alreadyfar too insulted.

The war will end soon!

And the soldiersare to return hometo their families.

-Look at them. -A huge crowd of peoplehanging on to every word

a little lying, stubbornand ignorant girl is saying.

Some people are nevergoing to believe.

Even when standingbefore the face of God.

Look.

The sun!

The sun is falling!

Move out of the way! Move out of the way!

Victor! Republica!

Thank you.

Go.

Lucia.

Please help ... love you...

We'd better go.
