Entries with (*) asterisks around them are notes to set the scene.

* A few seconds before the speech, William sees Joao and rushes towards him. He is knocked back by a force field, and is transported to the beach scene. After the beach scene, he is transported back to Joao, who brings him inside the force field. That is when Joao's speech begins. *

Joao: You came here seeking answers. I'm giving you those answers.

William: Was that a dream?

Joao: It was a vision of a possible future.

William: Why were they scared?

Joao: Because people will become so cruel, they will hunt children ... as if they were stray dogs.

William: Why?

Joao: No water ... or food. The devastation caused by mankind will substantially reduce the population. There will be complete disorder. Children will be enslaved to maintain productivity. It will be survival of the fittest.

William: No, no, I don't think it will ever get to that point; humans won't ... won't become that desperate and insensitive.

Joao: You are already too insensitive. Thousands of children die every day, from hunger or lack of shelter. Mankind is heading towards a global collapse, and we have to intervene.

William: And why my son?

Joao: Your son is one among many. This city is one of many.

William: You're invading ... it's an invasion, that's what it is. You're taking people and you're studying them to make sure our species are compatible ... you're using my Peter as a guinea pig.

Joao: Peter has rejuvenated in recent years. He is ready; waiting for his time to return.

William: What the hell does that mean?

Joao: People who were preselected are being prepared. They are receiving information and important knowledge. The process would be faster ... if so many pregnancies were not interrupted.

William: So what's their mission?

Joao: Reversing the direction in which mankind is heading.

William: And how are these people supposed to do that?

Joao: They will lead the world, with a new vision ... new ideas, and even new technologies ... that will change how your societies and its leaders interact with each other. This means that the world will have a large number of people ... with an extraordinary intellectual capacity ... spreading and practicing kindness ... charity and honesty. But they will be the world's last hope. Imagine a world with thousands of people like Gandhi, Chico Xavier, Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King. To change the world does not take much ... only willpower.

William: Well, if you don't believe in this, then why are you trying to help us?

Joao: This planet's natural resources are vital to maintain the harmony of the universe.

* William hears a noise behind him, and turns to see a vision of his son at the park, on the day he was abducted. *

William: What is this?

* William sees his son on the swing and sees him being "abducted" by a bright light *

William: Oh! This is cruel. Why would you do this to me?

Joao: You are here for a reason. Coincidences do not exist. They will return to lead the people, and change their future for the better. Someone must be there ... to help them reach their potential. Peter will need your guidance when he returns.

William: Where?

Joao: 8 degrees, 29 minutes, 4 seconds North ... 13 degrees, 14 minutes, 3.8 seconds West.

William: Coordinates.

Joao: Memorize them.

William: 8 degrees, 29 minutes, 4 seconds North ... 13 degrees, 14 minutes, 3.8 seconds West.

Joao: Be there in 2011.

William: 2011.

Joao: It's when you start your mission.

William: Ah ... that's too long to wait.

Joao: Time is only a matter of perception.

* Joao then touches William on the chest, imparting the "birthmark". Joao then disappears in a flash of light. *

Original Translation and subtitles: pepe2982

English Translation: nastero using Google Translate and Gedit.

English translation updated and edited, including removal of subtitles for English text: gnewell-2 using NotePad 01/01/2014

** Email me at gen81465-yahoo.com (replacing the - with @), and I can get you the (.srt) file, which is the complete subtitle text. I corrected and updated it back in 2014, for more accurate English translation. Note that I included William's responses, even though they are already in English. I did this for the continuity of following along with the movie. If you use a video player like VLC, you can choose the option: Video - Subtitles Track - Open file... and point it to the (.srt) file, and watch the entire movie with subtitles. Enjoy! **
