Pray for us.
Senhora Carreira is here
with a crippled boy.
She asked us to speak
to the lady.
Will you cure him, dear lady?
Her prayers shall be answered
within a year.
When will you take us to heaven?
I will take Jacinta
and Francisco soon.
But you must remain here
sometime longer.
You're going to take them?
You mean they're going to--?
Have no fear for them.
But why must they go? Why?
What will I do without them?
Please, dear lady.
Don't you see?
We've been together
since we were babies.
They're like my sister
and my brother.
I took care of Jacinta
when she was just
a little thing.
Beside my mother, I love them
more than anyone in the world.
[SOBBING]
Don't cry.
If God takes us soon,
we'll spend all our time
telling him about you.
Forgive me, my lady.
I'll do anything.
Let me suffer for them,
and I'll be glad.
But don't take them.
Don't leave me here alone.
Dear child,
I'll be with you always.
All right, my lady.
I promised I'd do
what you told me.
And I will...
all my life.
I will never abandon you.
My immaculate heart
will be your refuge
and the path
that leads you to God.
[WEEPING]
[SOBBING]
[CROWD MURMURING]
Please don't cry,
Lcia.
JACINTA:
We'll pray to the lady.
Baby, baby,
what's the matter, huh?
What's the matter? Did you hear
something that hurt you?
The lady said she's gonna take
Jacinta and Francisco.
We're going
to heaven.
And I don't want them to go.
[CHUCKLES]
Maybe you misunderstood
the lady.
No, I didn't.
Well, she might change
her mind.
Ladies do, you know.
Did I ever tell you the time
I was walking through
a beautiful forest
when all of a sudden,
a great big dragon
came roaring out of a cave
breathing fire and smoke
And there I was, all alone,
with nothing but my bare hands.
Don't you want to know
what happened?
[CHUCKLES]
Oh...
All right, we'll save it
for some other time, huh?
[SOBS]
[SMACKS LIPS]
Maria Rosa, I'll--
I'll wait here.
What's happening,
Antnio?
Trouble,
nothing but trouble.
The priest has sent
for the children.
He wants
to question them.
Father Ferreira too?
What's the matter?
Has everybody gone crazy?
You people have hounded
those children
ever since their story
You saw what came
of their story.
[SCOFFS]
And who was
responsible for it?
It was your own babbling tongues
that blew that fairy tale
into the big ears
of our precious administrator.
Hugo...
it may be true
what they saw.
Antnio,
you're a grown man.
There are many grown men
Even in the market
at Lisbon,
being around,
it's all
they talk about.
The 13th of next month,
you will see thousands here
in Ftima.
Ha.
Thousands of ignorant,
superstitious fools
following a will-o'-the-wisp.
Sure of a free ride
in a fiery chariot
straight through
the pearly gates.
Do you really think
there will be thousands?
A multitude of people,
senhor.
They will descend on Ftima
like a plague of locusts.
Hmm.
You may be right.
And who am I to argue
against the belief of thousands?
There may be something in this
after all.
Antnio.
Here is
a heaven-sent opportunity.
You own the cova,
and I'm your best friend,
your partner.
You heard
what that peddler said?
Thousands.
Now, why couldn't we charge
each and every one
a small fee to see
the Virgin, hm?
We'll be doing
a good deed,
and we'll be rewarded
with manna from heaven.
No.
Antnio, be sensible.
You-- You would try
and cheat God himself.
Ah, but he has such a big world,
and we have so little of it.
Now, look,
the first thing we do,
we'll build a fence
on one side--
Hugo da Silva?
I have a warrant here
for your arrest
signed by
the Administrator of Ourm.
That's not possible.
The administrator
is a good friend of mine.
Go away.
with obstructing
a police investigation
on St. Anthony's Day
with conspiracy to defeat
the ends of justice.
Come along.
Ah, this is nothing,
Antnio, nothing.
You start building
the fence,
and I'll make some posters
while I'm in jail.
Antnio, we got
a bigger attraction here
than all the bullfights
in Seville during Easter.
We'll be rich, man, rich.
Come on.
Take care
of my little donkey, eh?
Yes, yes.
Let's go.
The lady told us
the way would be hard.
I didn't know
what she meant then,
but I do now.
I thought
you'd believe us, Father.
In such matters,
neither believing
nor disbelieving,
until all the facts
are examined.
Have you told me
all the facts, Lcia?
I can't tell you any more.
Why do you hold back, child?
What else did
I didn't say
she was the Blessed Mother.
But she was.
Jacinta.
Perhaps you can tell us
what else the lady said,
Jacinta?
Oh, yes, Father.
She said we're going
to die soon.
Not Lcia,
just Francisco and me.
Going to die?
Lcia,
you told them that?
Father, you see what
terrible things she's doing?
There's no end to this.
Lcia didn't tell us.
It was the lady.
What are you
crying for, Mama?
We're going
to heaven.
[TEARFULLY]
Stop saying
such things.
Lcia...
did you make up
this story?
If you're lying,
I implore you to tell me.
It would be so easy
to tell you that I am.
Then all I'd get
would be a whipping.
But I'm not, Father.
Look, child,
do you want the soldiers
to take your priest away,
close the doors
of your church?
Oh, no, Father.
Then tell me
the truth, child.
The truth.
I've told you the truth.
I swear it.
I believe you, Lcia.
That-- That they
saw the Virgin?
I believe they saw
something unnatural
in the cova.
Good or evil...
...I cannot say.
Evil?
It could be something
out of hell instead of heaven.
in many forms.
Oh, no, Father.
Not the lady.
I don't know.
I don't say it for certain.
But only evil has come
If they continue,
they may bring disaster
on us all.
Well, I will forward
this information to my bishop.
And until we hear
from him...
I don't want you to go
to the cova anymore.
Now, take them home.
Let us all pray for God
to enlighten us.
Good night,
Father.
Thank you,
Father.
What's the matter, Lcia?
Are you sick?
[SNIFFLES]
No, Mama.
You're crying, huh?
I couldn't sleep,
Mama.
Come.
[SNIFFLES]
[SOBS]
Shh.
There now.
Tell Mama all about it.
Father Ferreira
said that the lady
might be the devil.
I can't stop thinking
about it.
She couldn't be that,
could she, Mama?
Father Ferreira knows more
about such things than we do.
Surely the devil would want
the church closed.
And he'd want to see
Father Ferreira in jail too,
wouldn't he?
Yes, Mama.
But if you could only
have seen her as I did,
if you could only have heard
her dear voice...
I can't stop thinking
about her.
Are you going to begin
all that again?
No, Mama,
don't be mad at me.
