Tiresia Page #2

where you live or what you look like.

You know you can trust me.

At first, you'll be happy,

so you won't tell.

But later...

If you don't let me go,

then go and see my brother.

His name's Eduardo.

Tell him we're together.

Tell him I belong to you,

that I'm your wife.

Ask him for my hormones.

Go and come back. I'll wait.

Will you help me?

Yes, I will.

How?

I'm going.

I'm waiting.

Be back soon.

I'm tired.

Rest.

I love you.

Jesus had just died on the cross.

It was Friday.

Bodies could not remain

on the cross on the Sabbath.

So the Jews asked Pilate

that the legs be broken

and that they be taken away.

The soldiers broke the legs

of the first.

Then the second.

Those who were crucified with Jesus.

They came to him

and saw he was already dead.

They did not break his legs.

But one of the soldiers with a spear

pierced his side.

Blood and water

came out immediately.

He that saw it bares record.

So that you would believe it, too.

"When he came out of the water,

Jesus saw the heavens open.

The Holy Spirit descended

as a dove upon him.

A voice came from Heaven:

'You are my beloved Son.

I place all my love in you.'"

Why not go to the hospital?

I don't want the police.

I don't want to be sent back.

I don't have papers.

What's your name?

Tiresia.

So what should we do?

I don't know.

No matter what, my eyes are gone.

What's done is done.

Very well.

All right.

Want to hear me out?

Want to know what I think?

You're 17 years old.

I'm never here.

I'm always working on the road.

That's it. That's all I have to say.

I won't go against your will.

But be careful.

Be careful for you, okay?

Promise?

Don't help me.

Watch me, that's all.

If only you knew

what I did to be beautiful.

I don't know how to repay you.

How to thank you.

I want you to come with me.

I have a brother, Eduardo,

who will take care of me.

I want him to thank you,

to give you something.

What's that?

You want your ball back?

Yes.

Go on.

Anna.

Anna.

His brother is older.

Maybe 18, 20.

Do you know him?

Tonight...

How do I say it?

He's going somewhere.

With people.

Do what you can.

Find him, his family.

He shouldn't go.

The alarm went off,

and they drove away.

They had an accident.

The two in front died instantly.

Our son was in back.

He's hurt, but it's not serious.

I'm sorry. Really.

We should have listened.

You saw the accident.

You warned us. The girl came.

I don't know.

It came like that, a feeling.

We thought you were crazy.

We shouldn't have.

At the same time,

we still told him.

Maybe that's why he sat in the back.

We shouldn't have laughed you off.

It's okay. I can do it.

A man came by this morning.

You were out shopping.

I think his name's Clement.

He was worried

about some work problems.

His factory.

The workers put down their machinery.

He could go bankrupt.

Someone wants to hurt him.

Someone close,

someone who works with him.

He needs to know,

or he'll lose his factory.

He needs to open his eyes.

He needs to do it now.

Of course, he won't want to hear it.

He won't believe it.

He won't doubt those around him.

Jesus's Theresinha

Has fallen down

Three knights have come

All with hat in hand

The first is her father

The second is her brother

What is it?

I know you'll always love me.

And how do you know that?

I just know it.

Didn't know it before?

I guess I should say yes.

My first husband died 10 years ago.

I'm 32. I have a daughter.

We live alone. It's not always fun.

And also, he was already married

in a church.

And I married my husband, who died.

If I remarry,

who will be my real husband?

This is all I can give you.

I want to know

if I'm making a mistake.

- Don't look at me like that.

- Sorry.

I just want to say...

I want to tell you...

What?

We can do something for you.

For my appearance, is that it?

I don't know what I want yet.

I think I'll just stay this way.

I don't want to do anything.

I'll see.

I can't see myself, anyway.

So I don't care.

You received a lot of letters.

I read some of them.

They're beautiful.

I'm a simple man.

I don't expect to understand.

Some things are beyond me.

If others are interested, why not?

If you have a gift, you have to give.

I don't know what's going on,

but my daughter is happy with you.

I'm glad to see her that way.

- What's Anna like?

- She's my daughter.

My own daughter.

I'm nothing. It's her.

Me...

All I want...

Don't speak about me. Nothing.

I don't want to know.

Not if I die,

not if I win the lottery.

I want peace.

I don't understand.

Help me.

Why do I have this?

Tell me. I'm ready to hear.

I don't know.

But if you have a gift,

you have to give.

Here.

Thank you.

You have something

more beautiful than money.

More beautiful than yourselves.

It's a big chance.

There's a statue.

It protects you.

I see water.

You'll be healed there.

You don't know you're sick.

Lots of water.

It might be autumn.

The leaves aren't the same.

Someone will be unhappy.

He'll be the strongest in the end.

Dear Edu:

I couldn't send news.

I don't know what to say.

I don't know where I am.

But I'm safe here.

I'm living with a young girl

named Anna.

She takes care of me.

I don't know why. But she's a gift.

Since I lost my eyesight,

I have no idea what she looks like.

The only thing I know

is that you and I will probably

never see each other again.

Don't make this a drama.

I'll never see anyone again.

And I wish no one could see me.

What was my life?

It has changed violently.

But I'm happy sometimes.

I speak about

the beautiful things I see.

I remember you were very beautiful,

too, my little brother:

Don't worry about me.

Nothing is in our hands anymore.

Tiresia.

Anna?

Anna, I can't find the chair.

Anna, where are you?

I saw Anna.

She was with boys her own age.

They seemed nice.

It's a nice age.

My son's age.

I have a 16-year-old son.

I'd like to see him hanging out

with boys his own age.

But my son doesn't do anything.

All day in his room, doesn't speak.

When I speak, he doesn't respond.

For the past two months.

I don't know what to do.

I drove a long way to get here.

Yes, I know.

What do you think I should do?

What I think isn't important.

I only translate.

Then translate me.

My wife can't sleep.

I don't know what to do.

Speak. Tell me something.

I came for my son.

He says nothing, does nothing.

He won't go to school.

He won't see his girlfriend,

stays in his room.

So I'll tell you.

A real drama awaits you back home.

Your son is dead.

He threw himself out the window.

I didn't want to tell you.

I accept my destiny.

You must accept yours.

My God, you're a monster.

You're the devil.

You're a whore.

Clement is waiting at the door.

Because he lost his factory.

Dear Tiresia, the prophet.

Others suffer and seek salvation.

How I would like to be you.

You seek what's beyond destiny.

No need to worry.

There's no prophet, no oracle.
