But she finds that she was, in previous incarnations, Eugenia, his love, who preferred to stay with Richardson, the other life of Captain Jonas. The count goes on to pursue Natasha and family of the captain, even using his powers to engage Carmen Maura. Natasha, in turn, wants to destroy Vlad to get rid of her curse. The only weapon she has for this is the Cross of St. Sebastian, which is hidden somewhere in Armação dos Anjos. The cross must be held by a man named "Rocha" ("Rock"). The hero is thus Captain Jonas. In Armação dos Anjos there is also Jurandir, who is running from Cachorrão ("Big Dog"), a rich leader of criminals whose house Jurandir robbed by mistake. In the city, he hides in the robes of a priest, befriends the kids and get the nickname Padre Garotão ("Father Young Man"). The gown, however, is not a stumbling block to his mad love affair with Marina, a protégée of Cachorrão.
