Holy Mother, Galdino is coming!

Good afternoon. What are you doing around these parts?

We're civil employees.

We're state employees from Rio. We were sent to survey the land.

What instrument is that? -It's a Teodorito.

I didn't ask who it belongs to I asked what it's used for!

Is it a photographic machine?

It's to measure the land.

Measure for what?

To open a road.

Then your journey ends here.

Tell your government not to meddle in the Sert�o (Desert) where I rule.

While I rule the Caatinga no roads will come through here.

Leave and don't come back.

And leave the instrument with me.

You, monkey (policeman)! Come closer.

Turn around.

Captain, let me bleed him.

Done. Now he has the signal of Captain Galdino.

Thank god you're still alive. Now run, you filthy monkey!

Wasn't Tico supposed to be waiting us here?

Yes, but we arrived a bit earlier.

That brat could give us problems.

I'm sorry captain, but have some patience with the boy.

It's not because he's my son but I guarantee his loyaty.

A boy is always a boy. Trust'em and you end up wetting your bed.

Captain, there are five soldiers.

Each group on each road. Take out the monkeys!

Help!

Careful that the dame is strong!

If you can't do it leave it to me!

Go away, there are no longer jails in this land!

You're not going to kill a corpse you dumb bastart!

No, I'm gonna drop the monkey from the tree.

So, these people will come to reclaim their rights or not?

Can you imagine? I attack this land destroy property, steal all I can

kill a bunch of monkeys and no one comes to complain.

Where the hell are the people of this land?

I don't know Captain.

Captain, for the love of God!

Don't cry Lady, I don't like seeing old women cry. Tell me your story.

Don't cry, I've told you.

"Hummingbird", get her a chair.

Sit Lady and speak, but no crying. Sit!

I had a milk goat captain, it was my only source of income.

But now, the bastard, that man killed my goat!

Z�.

Yes, captain?

Did you kill her goat?

The gun fired by accident, captain.

I asked if you killed it or not.

What can I do, it was me, captain.

How much do you need to buy another goat?

It was a good milk goat, captain. I've rejected 200 thousand for it.

Z�, give her 200 thousand for another goat.

But captain, I don't have the money with me.

Who do you think I am? Think I don't know where you keep it?

Take it, old bum!

Pay what you own, bastard. And don't call people names around me.

Come, pay her now!

But I just did!

No, I didn't see it. Those 200 were given to a bum.

The price of the goat you haven't paid yet.

Pay as I've told you. Or else...

Goodbye, Doctor!

Good trip, come back soon!

Excuse me captain, regarding that business of ours.

We're agreed. You'll have the votes of the Sert�o

but it won't be just for pocket money.

Bring the girl outside.

What are you doing here? Answer when you are asked.

You're talking with Galdino Ferreira! In this land there is only one lord!

I'm the teacher. My name is Olivia.

We're taking the teacher, we ask for 20 thousand to set her free.

You don't have to fear us. Just take a photo, will you?

Guys, were're gonna take a picture.

Wait up. Captain, you want to be in the picture?

(Speaks in German)

Why don't you speak a christian language damn gringo?

Attention...

Please, Mr. Cangaceiro.

This is taking too long, just take the photo!

Attention...

One, two, three, four.

Let's go.

To the people of this town: to restore the honor of our people

Which Captain Galdino has tainted, we have organized the third brigade

Formed by courageous patriots, to destroy the disgraced Cangaceiros

who have opressed and terrorized our land and country.

Long live the third brigade!

Wake up, lazy ass!

Mother, give a glass of water.

Get up yourself! You sit around all day doing nothing.

Come here honey, and I'll teach you...

Play this one.

Mind your own business!

I can't make it work. I don't know what's wrong with it.

The gramophone has no fault. It's you that's stupid.

You know how to shoot? There are so many guns here.

I shoot a little.

Show me.

Put this pot over there.

Stop fooling around. The bigger the gun the bigger the fear.

None of you are real men. None of you have guts, bunch of sissies.

Shut up your dirty mouth or I'll slap you around.

If you're a man then come. You're a bunch of chickens.

Brought me to this hole. Why don't you wear skirts?

Honey, even coconut candy when is too sweet makes you sick.

What are you trying to say? -That's right, you heard it.

You're too easy. Every man likes a hard-to-get girl.

I'll tell you something: The sweetest fruit is the highest on the tree.

But a roadside watermelon, we just kick around.

Son of a headless mare! If I'm a watermelon, get me a horse!

And no one else will look at me. Come, get me horse you pig!

If you want a horse, ask the captain.There he is with Teodoro.

What do you intend to do about the teacher?

It won't be easy for the monkeys to track us around here.

Don't change subjects. I'm talking about the teacher.

I thought you changed your mind.

If you want the money let her go as soon as you get it.

And if they don't send the money?

What will you do with her? You have to let her go.

I'll think about it. But what do you intend with these questions?

I ask because I want to know.

Everything ok?

Tell everyone: I'll cut the ear of whoever enters the girl's room!

I'll cut the ear off, understood?

Look here captain, I want to leave. Give me a horse!

I'm no woman to mix with the scum you have here! Bastard!

I found this switchknife, he wanted to take it away from me.

It's mine! Give it to me or I'll kill you!

If you want to fight, fight a real man!

Leave it, it'll take it.

Please, believe me. I want you no harm.

You can count on me to defend you Against anything or anyone.

You don't want your supper?

Leave it here and go.

I may have nothing in this world, but I have my word:

I'll take you to your home, without a single scratch.

Maybe even tonight, if not tonight, tomorrow or after.

Pretty moon, weren't you married, I'd use a stair to kiss you in the sky

And if your cold matched my heat, What would our Lord say?

Pretty moon brings me troubles, St.George on his donkey...

Why have you married such an angry man?

That eats and sleeps inside your heart?

You're also a prisoner?

God took the mark from your face?

So, I'll also pray for him-

Silence!

What is this? Who shot?

Look at his face...

What's wrong with you, Teodoro?

You were always quiet, but since yesterday you're even quieter.

Come, tell me. You don't want to say?

You don't know I'm on your side?

It's nothing. Can't I just be alone for a while?

But Teodoro, I just know that without you-

I've told you, I don't want anything or anyone. Go!

You think I don't know what it is?

You've been like this ever since that teacher arrived.

You're crazy about her, that's what.

You ignore me, but throw yourself at her like a dog.

By the stigmatas of Christ, if this is true I don't know what I'd do.

I want you badly, and you know it, but if you reject me for another...

With these hands...

Go away Maria...

I'll go, but remember that you can still pay.

Dance, Dance, Lampi�o

Missing you dear missing my love

Missing you dear missing my love

Left without saying a word

Not even a letter left

Left without saying a word

Not even a letter left

The eyes of the green snake

Only today that I've noticed

If I had noticed earlier,

I wouldn't love whom I love

Who took my love?

Must've been a friend

Took pity, left glory

Took a spirit with him

Took pity, left glory

Took a spirit with him

And I'll scorn who says

That our love is over

It is stronger now

Than when it began

Missing you dear missing my love

Missing you dear missing my love

So, everything ready?

Yes, up there, on the road.

The time has come, a bit more and you'll be free.

Two horses await us by the road. -Come what may.

Don't forget, Mrs. Felicidade you were asleep and saw nothing.

Best to change course. Galdino knows every inch of this land.

Best to go up the hills,it's hard but there's water and shadow.

Besides, Galdino hates to go up hills.

Through here we'll get quickly to the nearest town.

We're not far from danger. Best to trust in God. And below God, me.

Before we continue, I wanted you to answer me something.

You're an outlaw, someone that can't be trusted.

Say it, a bandit.

As you wish - a person with a closed heart, who steals and kills

Why then suddenly risk your life to save me who you didn't even know?

What good is it to know?

My life is in your hands...

It's natural that I want to know.

A man in your place wouldn't ask this.

But I'm not a man.

As you've said I life off crime. Every sinner has his day.

I do a good deed every year so that God doesn't forget me.

Speak seriously.

I am serious. This is my good deed of the year. Let's move.

I don't know captain! I swear on my mother's soul.

Wasn't you that arranged the horses?

Yes, but I thought it was your order.

You'll find where he is even if I have to pluck your eyes out!

Are you Chico Rasteijador?

Yes, someone told me you'd come.

Hurry then, let's go.

We searched all over, no sign of Teodoro.

Supriano, break his pride.

So pest, you'll speak or not?

I swear captain, if I knew I'd say. I'm not protecting him.

You won't say then.

For the love of God captain, what would I say?

Cilucio, tie this chump. We'll "gallop" him.

Captain Galdino, for all that is holy for the soul of your mother...

I did nothing, don't do this to me! I have nothing to with Teodoro!

Let me go after him, I swear I'll bring him!

Cilucio!

So, will you speak?

Murderer. If I knew anything I wouldn't say it, filthy dog!

Cilicio! Again!

Speak or not?

Cilucio, untie him, and put a candle on his hand.

Let's stop here before we go forth.

Aren't you hungry? I am, Teodoro.

We'll eat at night before sleep.

Where will we sleep?

Perhaps on the open fields but we may wake up surrounded.

Each hour that passes I find the mystery greater.

You're a strange man Teodoro. For the way you speak and think.

I see clearly you're different from the men you work with.

How was your life before?

When you're no longer suspicious of me I'll tell you about my life.

Drink.

So no one found Teodoro! You're not worth the beans you eat.

We're following a trail.

Hello father.

God bless you, my son.

Where are you headed, father? -I'm going to a marriage.

I want to ask you a favor. You'll find in your path a fresh grave.

It's the grave of one of your boys. Please make the proper cerimonies.

What did he die of? -He fell off his horse.

I know: you gave him the "gallop", didn't you?

Galdino Ferreira, I have to tell you a few things

and they will stay buried on this road as the boy.

Our Lord arranged this meeting. Do you have a religion Galdino?

And the Virgin doesn't?

I'm in a hurry, I have to go-

Wait Galdino. Jesus died in the cross to save us all.

Everytime you kill a christian, it's as if you were killing our Lord.

Listen the voice of the savior and repent.

Remember Hell and the Ten Commandments of God

mainly "thou shalt not kill" and "thou shalt not steal".

I'll remember father.

May God open your eyes and grant you the salvation of your soul.

Amen.

Nice horse, father.

Modesty aside, he's truly nice.

It's almost embarrassing for an old priest like me to have such a horse.

Everyone on the ground! The time has come!

Here is the commander you murderers!

Take the head of Galdino Ferreira!

Shoot you bastards, come on!

Shoot if not I will!

Shoot them!

Galdino Ferreira! Filthy dog!

Come on, shoot!

Filthy dog...

Coward...

Ole, Seamstress Woman Ole, woman sew

You teach me how to sew I'll teach you how to love

Ole, Seamstress Woman Ole, woman sew

Ole, Seamstress Woman Ole, woman sew

You teach me how to sew I'll teach you how to love

There's enough wood for a St. John's fire.

Today we still eat dried meat.

But tomorrow there will be fish.

Fish? From where?

From a nearby river.

You said you had never come here.

I think it's my instincts, I feel it in the air.

It's like you have a whole kitchen on your bag.

Can't be too careful.

We could arrive tomorrow, but we could also ride around for days.

Sleep a little while I cook.

Teodoro, do you still think I mistrust you?

You still haven't said why you are risking your life to save me.

I already said it.

It was a lie what you said about sin.

You're not risking yourself just to be good. I don't believe it.

Tell the truth, Teodoro. -What truth?

I see it in your face. But I want to hear it from your mouth.

I think we shouldn't talk about this.

Are you afraid? Of what? I'll say it: What are you trying to hide?

No, don't say it. It's not my fault. It's this heart that betrays us.

In the beginning it was sympathy. Isn't it always like this?

Then I had pity.

It was natural to worry, seeing you in the hands of those men.

Then I realized, I couldn't think of anything else.

It wasn't either sympathy or pity, it was love alright.

When we love it seems as if even dying isn't enough to save them.

I should've known.

But I kept a secret. After all by tomorrow you'll be far from me.

And you'll be left with only a memory, nothing more.

That's what love is. We meet suddenly...

and find out we were waiting for each other our whole lives.

I wish that this escape of ours never ends...

that we stay lost in a little house for the rest of our lives...

For the rest of our lives.

But I can't. I have no right.

What if you went with me to the city. Accepted your punishment.

Afterwards, lived the rest of your live in peace, perhaps happy.

No, I can't. I'll never leave the Sert�o.

If I left I'd return like the first time.

So you've lived away from here.

I lost my father and mother as a child.

So the priests took me with them.

They wanted to make me an important man.

That's why you found me different. I had an education they didn't.

And how did you end up with Galdino?

I was forced to. I was forced to kill a man in a fight.

I was born here, here I live, here I die.

It's almost as if I had this very earth in my blood.

And nothing in this world, not even a friendship?

A person, that could take you away from here?

Not even me?

Not even you.

Women and earth are one and the same.

We need both to be happy.

With you there, I'd miss the other.

Do we have to cross the river?

With the river behind us, we're safer.

The river is a barrier.

I can't swim.

The horses can. But you won't have to.

At this time of year the rivers are shallow.

Let your horse follow mine.

Wait there, there's a depression here.

I thought crossing a river by horse was far more difficult and dangerous.

Best bring the horses up here.

Bring yours.

Teodoro, there's someone coming in a canoo.

It's an indian.

(Speaks in Tupi-Guarani)

(Speaks in Tupi-Guarani)

Teodoro, ask him if he would give us his necklace.

The Indians say that who wears a necklace made from jaguar teeth

gains strenght and protection.

Courage you already have. May this protect you always.

See how it gives courage? Courage to hold you, like this.

Courate to tell you how I want you.

I wish it also gives us courage for our parting, soon to come.

You said it yourself, the river is a barrier.

A barrier betweeen dream and reality.

Go, escape Teodoro.

Leave me, I prefer to die in this land you won't leave even for me.

You have the necklace.

Protect yourself!

Stay there, don't move.

We have to leave here soon. Hurry, please.

I'm afraid, Teodoro. I'm afraid Galdino will catch us.

There's some time till he reaches us.

I should've remembered about him.

You guarantee my life, but what about yours?

I'll worry about mine later. First I have to make you safe.

-You have a knife on your back. -But a heart in my chest.

Galdino won't rest til he finds you.

He who looks always finds it. We never got along all that well.

At least we'll handle our issues.

We're close to the city. An hour more.

Another. But this time I won't miss.

Galdino is closer. Our horses are tired.

We have to separate. I'll stay here to hold them back.

You run through here, you'll reach the city.

One more run, save her life that I'll hold on.

Now run, there's no time.

So we'll never see each other again.

Don't use that word. Who knows?

Come with me, we can still be happy?

If I escape I'll look for you tomorrow.

So?

So until tomorrow.

Hurry, even if the horses die, I have to catch him!

Careful, careful with his aim! I have to get this bastard!

Fire! Shoot him without mercy!

Teodoro, who was my friend...

Tell "Thunderbolt" I told him to get Teodoro from the other side.

Let me tend your wound.

No, save those for Teodoro. -You can die.

Not before I get that bastart and finish him off.

The Captain, after Teodoro shot him... who knows?

He's out of ammo, I want him alive! Alive!

Teodoro, you're trapped! Come out like a man!

Why all this fuss Teodoro? What use to study, learn...

When you know that I'd catch you eventually. As I did.

When did you decide to betray me?

Didn't you know that it's impossible to run?

Even if you were locked up in the monkey's quarters?

I'm sorry Teodoro, I had you as my friend. But now you die.

Traitors do not live under my command.

But as a corageous man, I'll grant you a favor. Choose your death.

If I'm a courageous man Galdino, you are too.

Can I really choose?

Let's settle this. Let's see who's the bigger man.

Each with his knife, in a circle.

It's not a bad idea, but Cpt. Galdino Ferreira does not fight

with knives, with a runaway dog like you.

I have a better idea. See that tree over there?

It's about 400 meters away. Hard to to shoot a moving man.

I'll tell what: you walk naturally, not running. Real men do not run.

No one shoots you until you pass the tree.

Then, each of us fire a shot.

We are 23 men. 23 shots. Not counting me.

If a bullet hits you, everyone will know

that the teacher undid your protection charm.

If you're unscathed you'll meet her and you forget about me.

If I escape you give me a horse?

Do you really think you can escape? I'm lacking good horses lately.

Ok, I accept.

I won't shoot him, even if you kill me!

God bless you, my friend.

Fire the first shot, break your promise!

You don't dare? Not even behind his back you have the courage?

Prepare! One shot each!

One after another.

Will you fall before him?

Him first.

I know he's going to die. But your life is as big as his.

No, I can't. I was born here. I'll die here.

Look, look the earth. Look the earth of my Sert�o.
