Hey boy.

Go on, go!

I've told you a hundred times,

that a dog's place is outside.

Go on Lorde, scram!

Get outta here!

Carmosina!

There's a man

waitin' for yo'.

And he ain't one

of the usual beggars.

Mr. Francisco

de Paula Cndido?

-Alias, Chico Xavier?

-Yes?!

I am a court official and I have

come to serve you a writ.

The estate of Humberto de Campos

is suing you for illegal richment...

enrich me,

for fraud!

Many have accused you

of fraud,

-2 on Saulo!

-of making things up.

-Emmanuel is your main guide,

-Give me Chico.

-he's always with you...

-Wait a minute.

Is he here, now?

He's going to say yes,

that only he can see him.

Here by my side, but not

everybody can see him.

Aha. That's why he keeps looking

to one side so much...

Let's go to a question...

-from Reverend...

-Get the preacher on.

Set.

Don't you believe this?

-Tape, please.

-Roll it.

-And do you believe?

-No,

but there's something

there...

...each person born is the

reincarnation of one who died.

God created Adam and Eve,

the first human creatures.

They had two children,

Cain and Abel.

Could you find

an acceptable explanation,

according to reincarnation

to explain where...

-Cain and Abel came from?

-His question should be:

where did the people after

Cain and Abel come from.

Adam and Eve

I can even accept.

-What's wrong with you, man?

-Nothing...

...that we first

would like to thank...

his words full of fraternal love

and sweetness.

But with the help

of our spiritual friends,

I might ask the noble minister

to consider the Book of Genesis,

chap.IV, verses 16 & 17.

Cain having murdered Abel,

left Paradise...

Hi, Gloria.

Long time...

A year,

two months

and ten days.

What are you doing here?

We were so close,

I miss our conversations.

You didn't come to say that,

did you?

I...

Eduardo, still cries

every day, a lot.

He swears it was an accident,

that they were horsing around,

and the gun went off...

Do you think

that if we forgive your son...

-he'll get out of jail?

-No.

The prosecutor said he's going to

have to be prosecuted, no matter...

You've known Eduardo

since he was a kid.

Why would he shoot

his best friend? Think about it...

I don't know, you tell me.

-Gloria, please.

-Why?

I beg you...

Think about it.

Look here, Iara.

I also miss

our conversations.

But I miss talking to my son

much more...

I've tried everything.

Witchcraft,

meditation,

Spiritists' Circles,

Everything!

Everything.

And up to now

all I got was a letter,

that my husband thinks

is a forgery.

But you,

all you need to do is get in

the car on visiting day

and talk to your son.

-Don't Gloria.

-Get it?

-Please...

-Get it?

-Let me talk to you...

-Leave me!

We're going to take a brief break.

It's been like this

ever since the lawsuit.

Oh my.

Today it's exorcisms.

Please...

Get in line, please.

My children!

Please don't go in there.

This is not the house of God!

Miracles are performed by saints,

not liars like Chico.

Spiritism is deceitful.

Satan's most successful

and fascinating art,

designed

to entice those who have

lost their beloved ones!

Our sick sisters

must be helped here

with Jesus' love.

Fraternity

is the light of Spiritism.

Gently with the girls.

If the spirit takes hold of me,

apply the gospel vigorously.

Merciful Lord!

Have mercy on the spirirts

that obsess these girls.

Lord allow me to lead them

to the path

of light away, from evil.

Lord let me show

them good and evil.

Take the gospel!

Take it! Take it!

God forgive me, Chico!

God forgive me.

Uncle's sayin'to come back

next session.

Ain't no more today.

Chico...

Ah, I'm not speakin'

To journalists now...

You are right,

we are journalists.

But he's American,

Harry Dean...

Sir, nice to meet you.

Moi,je suis franais,

Jacques Vrenel.

I am French, my pleasure.

It's for publication

in the United States.

Your lawsuit

caused quite a stir over there.

No one's going to see

the article over here.

-You know the New York Times?

-New York Times, sir...

He doesn't even speak Portuguese.

Doesn't understand a thing.

Enchanting...

Come kiss Our Lady...

ask him about

Humberto de Campos.

Humberto de Campos...

even praised your first book,

before he died.

Who knows...

Who knows that's why

His spirit came to me.

Do you feel hurt

by the widow accusing you,

saying you are making money

off her husband's name?

Money?

Many people don't accept things

from the other side.

Oh, but she's willing

to accept.

She says that if the spirit writings

are recognized as such,

she wants the royalties

because it's her husband's creation

you merely write it down.

But is it fair?

Does someone who is dead

need to be paid?

But if there's life after death...?

That's what the lawyers say.

I'm sorry... your colleague

didn't understand a word.

He's speaking of the ''lawyer''...

Okay, no problem.

It's okay.

Polite opposition,

but troublesome at times.

No problem, no problem.

excuse me.

Excuse me, excuse me...

Excuse me.

-Do you play the piano?

-Wha...?

Do you play the piano?

Ah... I wish...

It was a present.

I ain't got no time to learn,

what's more play it.

Here's a little souvenir

for the journalist.

-Thank you.

-JEAN, ASK HIM.

Yes, yes...

We would like you

to spirit write answers

-to some questions.

-Ah yes...

Will the socialization

of the monetary system,

based on a certain percentage

of each country's revenue...

from exportation,

by emission based

on that percentage,

regulate

the exchange phenomenon?

''Each country's

regulating ballast...

has a key role in maintaining

the balance of currency.

According to the emissions

stock amortization and redemption...''

please answer in english:

have your spirits, any power

upon the future

of our living friends?

these lives are only

on a different level

that sometimes intercept.

how and why did we get here?

The idea that rules over

the orientation...

of the gemmules in the formation...

-of an animal's embryo...

''-supports the idea of evolution...

based on observations

from many different areas.''

Est-ce que vous avez

du contact avec les esprits...

des personnalits

de la literature franaise?

Comme, par exampIe,

Molire, Racine?

''Nous avons des auteurs

qui l'ont dej fait.

Les lignes qui rejoignent

dans ces...''

Bye...

Good night.

So Chico? All right?

As peopIe say,

they skinned me aIive.

UnfortunateIy,

I have bad news.

I fear he had a stroke.

Or something...

The doctor didn't say

for sure...

Said it couId be a stroke.

But he's goin'

to wake up again.

He's goin'

to wake up again.

He don'Iook good...

He's gonna wake up,

but he ain't knowin'nobody.

That ain't

what the doctor said!

He ain't gonna know nobody.

For many, many years.

He ain't gonna know nobody!

You say

you cure all these peopIe,

you gotta cure

your own brother.

Why are so many spirits

'round him?

Ourfriends are debating

if it is better
