May God give to them the double that l've received
My world is strange,
but it's worthy to all those who want to accept it,
and never corrupt as some want to portray it.
Because it's made up, my friend,
of strange people, though none are stranger than you!
AWAKENlNG OFTHE BEAST
War!
War... a word that lives inside of me,
Fear of the end, end to kill,
To kill to extinct...
Extinct all the love, extinct all the hope,
That's still has in the world,
A dirty world,
Dirty because they make you cry of what you see.
Peace, l know, there's no more, but l try to forget,
We're all going to die, to die very young,
Because of the fear...
Because of insane people, who, l know, aren't few,
And thus they want the end of us all,
By means of the war, wipe clean the face of the Earth,
Everything that exists.
Peace!
Peace, l know, there's no more, but l try to forget,
We're all going to die, to die very young,
Because of the fear...
Because of insane people, who, l know, aren't few,
And thus they want the end of us all,
By means of the war, wipe clean the face of the Earth,
Everything that exists, my God, it'll be sad,
Everything that exists, my God, it'll be sad...
That's preposterous, Dr.Sérgio!
lf such a sick fantasy came from someone like Zé do Caixão,
itwould be reasonable...
But from you, a respected psychiatrist!
What can l say, when these are the facts?.
Take this case, for example.
Reported by the newspapers throughout the country,
a case thatwas a shock to oursociety.
Baby...why did you left me?
Alone and sad... only with memories...
Let the little children come to me for their is the Kingdom ofHeaven!
Quack, quack!
Don'tworry, baby. Everybody here is really cool!
From now on, everything's going to change,
you have to learn to be real...
Open your window, beautiful maiden...
pretty girl, come see the moonlight,
Come drink the waterfrom the fountain oflife,
that from my mouth starts to gush out...
How is it, chick?.
-Thirty seconds... -Here l come!
You're all losers!
Success!
lt's not possible! He took it off the panties!
Babaloo-aye! Babaloo-aye! Babaloo-aye!
Babaloo-aye! Babaloo...
My world is multi-colored! My world is multi-colored!
Because l made itso.
l'll do this thing commanded by the Lord,
and the glory of the Lord will come to you!
Hallellujah! Hallellujah! Hallellujah!
Hallellujah...!
A sick joke worthy of the tortures of Dante's lnferno,
-...which ended in tragedy! -Just an extreme orgy,
with its consequences.
But what does this have to do with your case, doctor?.
What does it have to do with my case?
An orgy of addiction, a ritual of perversion,
that took the life of an teenager!
An ordinary crime,
resulted by the low morality of its participants.
l agree.
Those are deviant acts of reckless youth.
l don'tsee any relation with your theories, doctor!
You recount the absurd exploits of a degenerate...
as though they were poetical pages from a love story.
Aw!
-Aw! -Ouch!
And what message do you see in such pornography, doctor?.
The same scenes we can find in this world of violence!
Such scenes are happening all the time.
Tonight, l command you...you!
To jump and shout till you drop exhausted,
in the middle of the ballroom,
Recovering the power to start everything over again...
This is my only desire!
l am Zé do Caixão.
l live in the castle of horrors,
l'm not afraid of wandering ghosts,
My name is Zé do Caixão.
l live in the castle of horrors,
l'm not afraid of wandering ghosts,
My name is Zé do Caixão
You don't have to be scared,
Of skulls or Frankenstein,
Because sooner or lateryou...
l don'twant to go!
Let me go!
What's happening?.
Grab him, hold him!
Oops, what's that?.
Get off, you pigs!
Let's beat this guy!
Don't do that!
You're hurting me!
Damn cops!
You'll pay for that, scum!
l didn't do anything! Let me go!
Ouch, my back! Let me go!
l didn't do anything!
-Come on... -You'll pay for this...
-You bastard. -Let me go! -Get in there, boy...
l didn't do anything!
lt's the chaos of society.
The world closes its eyes and man cross his arms...
while a whole generation is in total collapse.
Doctor, remember, we're talking about drugs,
not about the wounds of the world.
And where do the roots of this evil come from?
Correct me if l'm wrong, but the doctor's statement is about drugs...
Look, gentlemen, the rich imagination of the psychiatristwho's shaking up the country,
and, who knows, the whole world...
Good night, darling.
Bring the coffee.
Hi.
-Call the others. -Yes, ma'am.
You're excused for today.
Adão, you can stay.
Ahh... l'm exhausted. l think l'm going to bed.
Good night, my child.
A mental case! Slave to imorality!
That is whatwe could call your little story.
This is the concrete proof of the insidious nature of drugs,
and how they stimulate depravity and corruption.
And now, gentlemen, another evidence, anothercase.
Maid Service Agency Commendator Remulo Pasqualino
Aw, the magic powder!
Today is the day, Commendator.Today!
You!
-Me? -Yes, you.
Come in, please.

You remind me of my late wife.
My poor Mariana...
You're a lookalike of her!
Gee, here we go again...
Ah, this chick will make a tasty meal!
lt may be hard to believe, but l'm quite lonely...
And because you remind me my wife...
l don't know... but if you agree, l could get married again.
lt could be better than this life. At least there would be plenty of pasta.
Well, my feelings aside, let's get right to the point.
-You know, l may have a good position foryou. -Yes?.
Come here... Come here.
Watch out, Maria, watch out.
This guy is dangerous, heh?
You have such a beautiful body!
l know a great filmmaker.

But l'm a decentwoman, sir.
Come on, honey, don't be afraid, l'm here to help you.
Sit down.

Ah, that talk never fails!
These chicks are always the same!
Spread your legs. Spread them.
That's it.
Go ahead, Commendator! Go ahead because this chick is easy!
Gosh, this guy is grotesque!
Hold on, Maria, hold on!
Keep the treasure safe. Everything else leaves no traces.
You were born to be a star.
You can trust me.
l won't do you any harm.
l want to help you. Just help you...
Ah, Pasqualino, Pasqualino, if you only knew what a woman has to suffer...
Ah, Pasqualino, how l wish it were you.
Jerk! Why don'tyou wait a little bit?.
Thanks, honey!
Trust me: ifyou marry me, l'll let you do anything you want.
You'll be free as a bird.
You should know the good things in life, girl.
And l'm gonna show them to you.
Nothing happened. You can lower your dress.
Get down. Get down!
That's it...
Down. Down.
Very good. Great.That's it.
What this guy is going to do now?.
Be calm, Maria, calm!
lt's too fast and too easy.
What's that?.
Easy, Maria! Ah, that's too much!
-No! l don't want to do that. -Humm, things gone bad!
-Think fast! -No, no.
Excellent! You passed the test.
Now to the glamour test.
And tomorrow you'll be on the big screens of the world.
Oops, that was close!
Go on now, my child, go.
Go on. Have no fear.
The gates of success are wide open to you.
Go, my little starlet, go!
You proved to be an exceptional talent.
Have no fear.
Take your clothes off and relax.
-Should l take it all off?. -Yes.
Relax, be totally relaxed.
Don't be shy.
lt's all in the name of art!
Take care, Maria, or... goodbye wedding.
Think of Pasqualino...
Be very careful. Very careful.
Now it's my apprentice,
and then... mission accomplished!
l'm pure. Don't ruin my life...
l beg you!
Don't do this! Don't do this!
-You're so hot! -Have mercy!
Have mercy! Have mercy!
l beg you! l beg you!
l'm a virgin, l'm a virgin!
l'm a virgin...
You only know what's good once it's gone.
Suffering is the price of the need forjob...
due to the influence of drugs.
Mr. Mojica, you, that so far only listened and take notes,
do you agree with Dr.Sérgio?
My position is neutral; l'm not even sure why l'm here.
You'll know in due time, Mr. Mojica.
And now l call your attention, gentlemen, to yet another episode...
But it's so ridiculous!
You're mistaking sexual frustration for stimulation from drugs!
Never! lt took me years of research to reach my conclusions.
Evil begets evil.
Take off yourclothes!
All at once?
Humm...
Slowly
Very slowly.
Ah...You're so hot, you're on fire!
And l'm burning too, my darling!
You won't be rough with me?
No, honey.
l promise you, l'll be the sweetest guy in the whole world...
l swear, l swear...
What?.
l am an adulteress!
Forgive me, darling...
You don't deserve this...
You don't...
Don't hate me for this.
l swear, you're the only one in my heart.
l'm doing this, but l don'twant to do.
Please, believe me.
You're the only one l love.
l can't live withoutyou, my darling.
My body is tainted, but my heart is as pure as a flower!
You you can understand, forgive me, my darling.
Suicide: the price of remorse foradultery.
Do you understand?.
She carried the evil within herself,
but didn't know it, so she resorted to drugs.
The evil that ended her life.
But what really matters is the crime you perpetrated againstsociety.
-What crime? -Not of your concern, Mr.Zé do Caixão.
You're not intellectually prepared to understand our discussion.
Excuse me, but Zé do Caixão stayed in the graveyard!
You're talking to José Mojica Marins.
Let's get down to business.
You committed a mistake a crime in the name of medical science.
You used human beings in your experiments.
That's what we can deduce from your words.
l don't know what crime is in my statement.
No hypocrisy, doctor!
You stated you used four drug addicts...
in an experimentwith LSD.
-Precisely. l don't deny that. Drugs: lncitant ofDepravity
lt's all explained here, and this is where you come in, Mr. Mojica.
l see no connection between this man and our discussion.
lt all began when l was writing the final chapters of my book.
and l was searching fora theme to help sum up my theory.
José Mojica Marins,
also knows as Zé do Caixão,
writer, director, actor and producer of motion pictures andTV shows.
Glauber Rocha, acclaimed throughout the world...
as the leader of the New Brazilian Cinema,
considers Zé do Caixão a primitive artist and a pure filmmaker.
Anselmo Duarte, awarded at the Cannes Film Festival,
considers Zé do Caixão a filmmaker of undeniable talent.
Most critics, however, don't take him seriously.
Who Is Afraid of the Truth?
Zé do Caixão: filmmaker or fraud?.
Guilty or not guilty?.
That's what the people's court of truth...
is going to decide, starting now.
What do you think about life?
lt's absolutely empty.
-Then why not kill yourself?. -Suicide is a crime.
To argue with him is a waste of time.
l have no intention of arguing with you,
but l'll ask you to give us a clear message.
lf you say that life is rotten, in a few seconds,
you also must explain why.
Look, l've have no culture to explain the answer to that question.
How do your movies contribute...
to the Brazilian Cinema?
Creating many jobs and giving audiences what they want to see.
What he writes is a load of rubbish.
lt's good only to be shredded into pieces.
At least it was good forsomething.
Mojica, that fingernail on your thumb,
that nail of a wild boar, do you hang your clothes on it?.
Answer censored.
What's the title of your current film?
""Ritual of theSadists (Awakening of the Beast)"".
l am aware of the difficulties of making movies in Brazil.
But couldn't you make a movie with a message of happiness?.
Making a film in Brazil is like...
making a spaceship and sending it to the Moon.
We have no resources to make movies,
and the filmmaker must create a character.
He must attack on all medias.
He has to buy imported film stock, film stock!
To recreate what's already been created!
And show the audiences what they want to see!
Otherwise, it's hopeless: the theaters will close!
Reviewers will sell bananas and filmmakers will eat the peels!
We've had a man alone, responding to sevenjudges.
l believe this man has the right to a defender,
so l summon his defense attorney.
l knew anything might happen in this trial,
but not that one member of our own house...
would lack the civility to greet our guest.
And call him an idiot, a fool,
and even throw on the floor his comic book which sells thousands of copies.
And correct the grammar of our self-described uneducated guest.
Now l want to call a witness which no one can confront,
who will defend the accused,
because he understands film better than any of us.
This man has a great legitimacy.
He believes in something, and he does what he believes in.
Judgment of the intellectuals is another thing.
There are too many overrated filmmakers in this world.
Members of the jury, please state your verdict.
l acquit José Mojica Marins.
-Very well. Next. -Not guilty
-Next. -l set him free.
Very well. Next.
l acquit Zé do Caixão.
l want to remind you we all have our own personalities.
l acquitZé do Caixão.
-Next. -l condemn him.
Very well. Six votes to one.
Zé do Caixão is acquitted.
And now, to close this trial,
Zé do Caixão has one minute to conclude the first part of ourshow.
l thank all the jurors.
What's really matters is what we think of ourselves.
We should do something, no matter how small,
and as long as it benefits mankind, it should be done.
Thank you and good night
Última Hora newspaper
l'm sure your book will be a best-seller, doctor.
Given your credentials in that matter,
it should be a document of great importance...
to all of society, don't you agree?
l don't know.
l can only assure you it'll be honest and sincere.
lt'll be based only on proven facts.
lf l could be of any help, Dr.Sérgio.
l'd be proud to take part in your project. You can count on me.
l could use your help, in fact.
Can you bring me four drug addicts?.
They must each come from different social classes.
That shouldn't be a problem.
l'll put Mourão, our crime reporter, in charge.
l'll do an experiment using LSD,
to see the reaction of each of the four in a given situation.
Have you found your theme?
l'm still searching.
lt shouldn't be difficult to find.
We have the complete Zé do Caixão comics collection
l'd like a Zé do Caixão poster, please.
Sure. Just a moment, please.
Waldomiro Martins, Accountant
Hello?
Yes... speaking.
What?.
lt's okay.
Yes, yes...
At six and a half?.
Okay!
Goodbye.
-How are you?. -l'm fine.
-What's this?. -A little gift.
What's up this time?
Don't tell me the price is going up again.
Nothing of the kind, man!
l put you on a list of four people...
to take part in an experiment that this doctor,
one who mess with the people's mind, is going to do with LSD.
So, are you interested?.
That must cost a year of my wages.
Whatyou're thinking, man?
The doctor pays for everything.
He's writing a book and wants to study the reactions.
See you then, Waldomiro, l've gotta see another client.
l'll tell you later about when and where, okay?.
Right.
l have great news foryou.
There's a doctor looking for volunteers foran LSD experiment.
You were one of the chosen.
Me? That's fascinating,Anita!
l have to tell my dealer your decision.
A reporter put him in charge of looking for volunteers.
You can say to him that l've accepted.
lt'll be a new thrill for me.
Ah, l'm so tired.
l'm tired, too.
-Well... see you guys tomorrow. -Let's go.
-See you tomorrow. -Bye!
Sorry l'm late, honey. l was talking to a client.
You said it was urgent; what's up?
Good news this time.
A reporter l know asked me to gather togetherfour people...
foran experiment a doctor wants to do with LSD.
l hope you agree.
l know what you're thinking...
But there's no risk involved.
What's the experiment for?.
lt's all fora book he's writing.
lt's about drug addicts. But that doesn't matter.
A reporter l know told me about it.
Don't worry, there won't be any trouble.
lt's all done in absolute secrecy, okay?.
An offer l can't refuse. Tell me what to do.
Great, honey! Wait for my call, yes?.
Bye!
But you know that l work on television.
So what?.
You're sure l'm not going to get into any trouble?
Come on, man, you know l only work with hot stuff.
So, will you take it or leave it?.
l'll do it.
The reaction you display before a chosen object...
will be useful forfuture research.
Now, it all depends on you.
Well then... let's begin our experiment.
Oficina Theatre
Jungle of Cities
Why do you touch me? You are a man.
l'll sleep with you if you want.
Why can't l say that?.
Sometimes l don't grab everything within my reach.
Do you want to overpower me?
Do you want me to be on my knees?.
lt's easy.
l'll let my body fall down, and drop my head and shoulders.
Look, l'm not wearing the clothes you gave me anymore.
l think to be ashamed is to be brave.
Yes, l'm brave, l'm in love with you.
Awoman who gives whatshe doesn't have, doesn't give much.
My body is untouched.
lt's easy to change the black.
Yourvirginity is no barrier.
l try to fake.
l feel ashamed next to you.
This is the black hole.
Now, forty years will pass.
l don'tsay no.
The bottom of the pit has cracked and the sewage is coming up,
but the desires it brings are weak.

She's my property.

There's the world of the illusion...
This Night l'll Possess Your Corpse
Of all the shows you saw, which had the strongest effect on you?.
The movie, no doubt.
l hate Zé do Caixão.
l can't stand his TV shows, and his long fingernails are disgusting.
But l must admit: he had the strongest effect on me.
Zé do Caixão.
For me, he's just an artist like any other.
l think he is a genius.
l worked with him on TV, and l never met anyone who made such a impression on me.
Then it's decided.
The focus of our experiment will be Zé do Caixão.
OÃXlAC!
ODÉZ!
lt's a dimension well beyond what man can conceive mentally.
Where woman is assigned to her proper place.
From the beginning to the end of the centuries,
man is the ruler of everything,
he's the master of life,
and woman is his instrument.
His acts know no reproach.
She's the willing slave before the power of man.
So it shall be, throughout the millennium.
So it shall be, until the end of everything!
He's right.
Man's acts can't be condemned.
lt's the power of man, and the submission of woman.
lt's the man that mankind has always been looking for.
lt's the reward of suffering for the lack of understanding.
Woman is, and shall always be...
across the barriers of time,
and the dimensions of the universe,
the untouched human being from the disgusting glory,
that emanates from man's beastiality!
He's the prince of darkness.
The protector of the wretched.
Good and evil together, and a neutral entity...
adjusts itself to an ordinary reason.
That unreachable dimension of the unexplored,
the unknown and the fantastic...
forms the fabric of reality in the relentless pursuit...
of the awakening of perpetuity.
And the man who dedicates himself to that uncertain mission,
find opened the doors of nothingness...
that lead into everything.
Neither good nor evil forces will ever interfere...
with the mortal branded with my mark!
His world is a work of art.
lt's poetry in the macabre.
He's hell in the flesh, the disciple of the king of darkness,
pain itself made solid matter.
Flesh will be blood,
and blood will become water...
to bathe the eternal sin...
and glorify the pleasures of pain...
in the body of the damned.
So itshall be,
from one galaxy to another, from one existence to another.
The little, forever midget,
and the great, eternal giant.
He's a sadist, a degenerate. The Devil incarnate.
And that's all, gentlemen.
You all know the results.
As the book is being published,
came the controverse, and that's why my presence here isjustified.
We accuse you ofhaving used human beings as guinea pigs in your experiment,
even if they were all drug addicts.
Exactly. We accuse you of subjecting them to narcotics.
Sorry to disappoint you, gentlemen,
but l didn't use LSD or any other drug in my experiment.
l simply used distilled water, and l have proof of that.
How can you prove what you're claiming?.
l take care to put my patients through...
a rigorous blood test.
Men and women, very precisely.
Here are the results of those tests.
lt really does say distilled water.
But l simply don't understand the point of your experiment,
or the goal of your book.
Ultimately, Dr.Sérgio, what did you mean to say?.
Drugs are but an excuse to release the instinct in each human being.
Which means, if someone commits a crime under the influence of drugs,
it's because his mind was already sick,
and his instinctwas reaching its highest point.
ln brief, such a person is a danger to society.
My message is not to destroy all drugs,
but to moderate their use.
lncrease our vigilance on those who traffic in them.
That was my goal when l devised my hypnosis experiment in those addicts.
Do you mean all those nightmares related in your book...
were caused only by suggestion?
Precisely. They thought they were under the influence.
-Their minds did all the rest. -And why did you pick Zé do Caixão?
l used the characterZé do Caixão in the experiment...
because he's controversial and generates heated discussion.
And also because the way he portrays horror...
is identified with the problems of the subconscious,
of his fans and detractors alike.
So he has considerable power of suggestion over people.
So, he was the right character for the experiment.
Thus, ladies and gentlemen,
thank you for your attention,
as we conclude another program in the series...
""A Shining Light in the Darkness"".
Okay.That's all!
Move that camera. Take that camera away!
l'm still curious about one thing:
Where do you get the ideas for your stories?.
lt's simple: you've finished your work, and l've just started mine.
-You see? The Sadists (Awakening of the Beast)
-Want a ride? -No, thanks, l'd rather walk.
-Goodbye. -Goodbye.
Dirty because they make you cry of what you see.
Peace, l know, there's no more, but l try to forget,
We're all going to die, to die very young,
Because of the fear...
Because of insane people, who, l know, aren't few,
And thus they want the end of us all,
By means of the war, wipe clean the face of the Earth,
Everything that exists.
Peace!
Peace, l know, there's no more, but l try to forget,
We are all going to die, to die very young,
Because of the fear...
Because of insane people, who, l know, aren't few,
And thus they want the end of us all,
By means of the war, wipe clean the face of the Earth,
Cut!
Everything that exists, my God, it'll be sad,
Everything that exists, my God, it'll be sad...
THE END
