All language subtitles for Madam Beja (2026) S01E12

"She pretended not to see me.

In my chest, my heart screamed
her name with such a strong feeling."

Wait, there's more.

"With such a strong feeling that I had
to run out of there,

or I'd throw myself at her feet."

Good Lord...

Look, I'm not the guy who drinks
in the middle of the day, but...

that kind of thing,
it only goes down with brandy.

Sampaio,
a real man drinks when he feels like it.

In fact, a real man doesn't have
a screaming heart at all.

A real man doesn't throw himself
at a woman's feet.

I just wonder: how could Botelhinho
publish this infamy?

"Even though he knew
it would break his heart.

Just as my heart was once broken.

I couldn't lie with her."

What kind of man doesn't make use
of a woman?

Only an invert.

Hey, you.

Ever seen a guy walk in and chicken out
when he comes here?

- Of course not.
- Of course not!

A real man is as powerful as a rifle.

- He's always ready for a battle.
- Exactly.

Whoever wrote this filth
did it on purpose to provoke us.

And succeeded.

Are you sure, miss?

A man who's a man doesn't say
something like that to another fella.

We can say "respect" to a friend, right?

Now, love your friend?

That "A" has gone too far
in this subject.

Don't tell me
this is what I think it is.

The mailman just delivered.

I'm not just the only woman to have
an office in these hinterlands.

I'm also the owner
of the biggest diamond...

in Minas Gerais. Maybe in Brazil.

Since the gold's running out.

With this gem,
you don't even have to work anymore.

Your mistake.

Now the work really begins.

It's power, Severina.

- This gem is worth more than money.
- When will you send it to the goldsmith?

Right now.

Get Rômulo to escort you there
and two more henchmen.

And ask the goldsmith to do it exactly
the way I explained.

Araxá awaits me.

What kind of story is this?

Where in this world does a woman earn
a living while the man studies?

I doubt any of the colleagues' wives
here have worked a single day.

Women only earn money from work
by being whores!

Exactly.

- Dorothea?
- Yes.

Grab this.

Put it on your head.
Go against the wall.

Put the newspaper on your head.
Go, woman.

Don't do that, Felizardo.

ARAXÁ'S HERALD

Shall we go for a walk, big boy?

There you go.

The dress is a bit uncomfortable,
but it's much better this way.

MADAM BEJA

Go on. Spank me harder.

Go on. Spank me harder!

Fuck! I said harder!

Harder! Show me who's boss!

Come on!

That's enough. Stop it.

You haven't got the hang of it yet.

But you will.

- Did you open your dirty mouth to talk?
- No.

Did you tell anyone about me?

- Did you talk about that whip?
- No.

- Did you or didn't you?
- I didn't.

Why would I do that?

And lose my client?
I swear, I didn't tell anyone.

Beja! Where are you, you bastard?

I'll show you now. Come here!

Come here, Beja!

You need to calm down, Colonel.

Your mistress is spreading
customer intimacy around.

That's impossible!
And you know it very well.

What happens here, stays here.

And Beja, more than anyone,
is extremely strict with the rules.

I'll show this bitch what rigidity is.
Give me this.

Take this man away.

Your turn, dear.

We win!

Warm cheese bread and guava juice.
Who'll have some?

- I'll have some.
- How delicious.

My son, you don't know how happy
I am to see you like this.

Being a family man.

I'm happy too, Antônio. Maria is better.

You and Angélica
are going to be parents.

My goodness, peace has finally returned
to this house.

"The soldier who fought
so bravely in battle is,

at home, dominated by his wife."

But what does Beja have to do with it?

By the way, why does this novel
bother you so much?

Well...

Because it was Beja who paid
Botelhinho to publish this crap.

But what about you, Colonel?

Aren't you offended
by someone making fun of men?

Of course. It's scandalous.

Then do something
to put an end to this story.

It's high time your son denounced
this "A".

The author of this crap.

Felizardo is about
to fly off the handle.

I can tell.

You didn't tell anyone
what I told you, right?

That he likes
you to make a horse of him?

For God's sake!

- Don't ever say that again.
- Okay.

He's already put a gun in my face.
Next time, he'll shoot.

GRAVEYARD

You left us too soon, Mom.

And left me in the hands
of such a tyrannical father.

If I didn't love you so much,
I don't think I'd ever forgive you.

Are you asking for forgiveness
for the nonsense you've been writing?

I came to take care of the farm

and found out
you're living in the tavern.

- What's that all about?
- Do you care about me now?

You took my money and my house.

Do you realize that the colonels
are going to skin you alive?

If you don't tell them
who's writing that novel.

I've already said
that I've dealt with Beja.

- I don't know who's writing it.
- Find out, then!

Stop publishing that crap.

I don't want
any problems with Araxá's people.

Fratres, agnoscámus peccata nostra,

ut apti simus ad sacra
mystéria celebrànda.

I was scared, Beja.

If Colonel Botelho didn't arrive,
the other man would end up shooting.

Did you hear me? Or are you more
interested in the couple?

Couple? What couple?

We need to talk.

After Mass.

No, it's now. It's urgent.

Listen, I want the author's name.

Am I the owner of this newspaper or not?

Your contract is with me.

You don't need to know who writes it.
Just publish it.

I won't publish anything else, okay?

I won't mess with the colonels.
Least of all my father.

So do you want to mess with me?
Are you sure?

- I'll give you the money back.
- Better sit tight, I guess.

No, it's better to pray. Excuse me.

Smile.

That's good, it's just needs more legs.

And smile more too.

Smile more, and it's important
to show your legs too.

Raise your legs high.

That's very important. There you go.

- That's it!
- Take all those sluts.

What is this? Who let you in?

- Let everyone go!
- I'll use violence if I need to.

Who's the wretch who scribbles
that shit you paid to publish?

You'd better get out of here now,
Colonel.

Or the whole town will know
what you like in bed.

And it won't be through the newspaper.
It'll be for myself.

If you do anything to her,
I'll kill you.

Shoot.

Shoot, Colonel.

And the letter
I left with a friend of mine,

telling him all about you,

it will be read at my funeral.

Shoot.

Let them go.

- Get out of here.
- What about the house rules?

Your secret will be safe with me,
as long as I'm safe too.

Get out of here.

Get out of here, you all!

Let's go.

- Are you all right?
- Yes, we're fine.

- What's this letter, Beja?
- I don't know.

I made it up.

Isn't that how you make up a novel?
That's it.

You're flushed.
Have you been sunbathing?

I wanted to come earlier, but I wasn't
sure if you wanted visitors.

You could have come.

I know, it's just...

I'm going to see
if the corn bread is ready.

Maria made them.
Just because you were coming.

Behave yourselves, you two.

I was worried.

The last time I saw you, you know...

I'm sorry, but I need to know.

Know what?

Did you do that
to avoid getting married?

- Are your parents forcing you?
- João, that was an accident.

I got inattentive
and mixed up the bottles.

I'm sorry if I worried you for nothing.

So do you really want to marry me?

I want what every woman wants.

To make a man happy.

I see the conversation has moved on.

Sampaio and Antônio would have
liked to see it.

Too bad they couldn't stay.

Political stuff, João.
You get it, right?

I understand, Mrs. Ceci.

My father wanted to be here,
but had to travel.

- He's away for a few days.
- Do you want some tea?

I'll have some. Thank you, ma'am.

Well, looks like she really wants
to get married.

Maybe I was worrying for nothing.

Maria is pretty.

Well educated.

I don't see anything wrong with her.

Except for one thing...

She's not Beja.

That's why you should marry Maria.

My friend, Beja is not an option.

I know, Avelino.

After my dispute with Antônio
at the auction,

Beja only avoids me.

That's right. And we both know

that a single lawyer
doesn't inspire confidence.

João...

Now that you're marrying,
have you considered politics?

If the Portuguese Crown's intentions
were good,

the deputies from Minas Gerais
would have accepted, right?

We stayed in Brazil, Colonel Botelho,
also in support of Dom Pedro.

Great decision.

Do you still believe
in the power of the Prince Regent?

Only Dom Pedro keeps
these people united.

Without him,
Brazil would be out of control.

Anyone who wants to control
ends up being controlled.

You're the one who needs control.
This place is not for a woman.

But...

There are plenty of women here.

Please, don't fall for her provocation.

Colonel Sampaio.
I've decided to sell part of my land.

Changed your mind, after all?

I have some debts to pay off and...

I know you've always been interested

in that area next to your farm.

Where the salt water runs?
The one that fattens the oxen?

Yes.

So, can you make me an offer, colonel?

I've missed your scent.

I was dying to see you here,
in our little corner.

But you disappeared.
I even thought you were ill.

What is it?

- I thought you liked me.
- I do, but...

When two people like each other,
there are no ifs or buts.

You just have to like it.

Go ahead.

So I hope you like
the news I have to tell you.

What news?

I'm pregnant.

Are you serious?

Don't joke with me. Are you serious?

I've always dreamed of being a father.

Long time, though.

I...

I need a drink. Excuse me.

Honey...

Are you sick again, Margarida?

You look pale.

I wish I was just pale.

- I'm pregnant, my love.
- Pregnant?

What am I going to tell my fiancé now?

Sister...

I have news that will cheer you up.

I'm going to buy
the Botelho's piece of land.

Where there's that chapel.
That the Colonel's late wife had built.

That chapel where we used
to play hide-and-seek.

When we were children.

Don't you like the surprise?

It'll be nice.

Being able to pray alone there,
whenever I want.

Must be the colonel.
To arrange the sale.

We've been admiring that piece of land
of yours for a long time.

So, are you ready to close the deal?

I'm sorry to say that someone covered
your father's offer.

They've offered
twice as much for the land.

What do you mean? Who bought it?

Beja.

They say women don't know
how to do business.

I've never needed a man for that.

My friend.

- Is my horse ready?
- Yes.

I'm going to see my new clothes.

Antônio?

What a surprise.

Excuse me, I...

Stay here. What I have
to say is no secret to anyone.

You have no shame at all, do you?

Buying a piece of the Botelho's farm?

My family has been insisting on
buying it for years.

- Just for revenge?
- You aren't the center of the world.

Nor your family's wishes.
No matter how much you act this way.

- You acted out of hatred.
- Hatred?

My interest in those lands is practical.
Or can't a woman be a farmer?

You could have bought any farm.

But no other has
water from the Donkey's Creek.

Which is sacred to me.

You're doing this over Angélica.

But you dirtied the creek first.

Lying with a bunch of men
in those waters.

I'm free, Antônio.

- It's not my fault you can't be.
- Bullshit!

You had sex with the Colonel,
that's why he sold you the land.

That's none of your business.
And even if I had.

I have money.

In fact, I could buy
the whole of Araxá if I wanted to.

- Beja, calm down.
- To hell with it!

Nobody disrespects me here in my house.

Get out of here.

Get out of my face,
and don't ever come back.

I want you to die.

Howdy.

Honorato? How did you get in here?

The same way I came in last time.
Through the back.

- What if they see you?
- Your father's at the town hall.

And Mrs. Augusta is with Mrs. Genoveva
at the greengrocer's.

My love, are you...

Wait.

Why are you crying?

- The embroidery, I can't get it right.
- No.

Don't lie to me.

Tell me. Tell me.

The way you left me
in the chapel when I told you...

I thought you were going to disappear.

No. I'm sorry.

I'll never leave you alone again, okay?

Especially now that you're expecting
my child.

So you're not angry with me?

No.

Of course not, Carminha. It's just...

I'm a womanizer. That's just it.

But that's in the past too.

And...

You're my present, okay?

And also my future.

We need to tell your parents,
as soon as possible.

- They'll kill me.
- They'll have to kill me first.

I'll be by your side.

All the time. We'll tell them together.

Is that all right?

- Honorato?
- It's me.

- That means...
- Does that mean?

You're going to marry me?

If they let me.

I'll come back tonight
and we'll tell your father, okay?

The judge has to forbid this shit.

Calm down. Let's discuss this calmly.

Beja?

But it's one affront after another.

She looks great in pants.

Nice legs.

Someone has to stop that snake.
That's not a woman.

That's the devil in human form.

Good morning, gentlemen.

Nothing like a good ride for the health
of the body. Don't you think?

Are you running away? Like the Colonels?

You're playing with fire, be careful.

But I haven't even officially occupied
the chair yet, gentlemen.

Did you think
your position was just for perks?

Put a bridle on this mare soon.

Because if you don't, I will.

Felizardo, when are you going to learn

that we don't do
this kind of dirty work?

We have it done.

Mr. Costa Pinto, come on.

As if the novel wasn't enough,
now Beja's walking around in pants.

- As a man...
- Talking about me behind my back?

What's...

You can only come in
here if you have permission.

Januário, please escort this lady out.

Good morning, gentlemen.
I've come to accompany my client.

Ana Jacinta, more known as Beja,

wants to sue Mr. Joaquim Botelho,
the newspaper's owner and Colonel's son.

- On what grounds?
- Breach of contract.

Beja agreed with the owner
of the newspaper to publish a novel.

She paid in advance.

But now he refuses
to fulfill the agreement.

Beja.

As far as I know, Botelhinho agreed
to pay back every penny.

- I can even start erasing it now.
- Mr. Mendonça,

am I obliged to accept the agreement?

Not under the contract.

So judge, I want him to publish

every chapter of the novel,
and I won't take the money back.

And I want you to publish it
letter by letter.

In that case, the newspaper will have
to fulfill the contract.

That's nonsense.

But you have to obey
certain rules, miss.

Don't show up
here in your pants anymore.

Not here, not anywhere.

Has anyone here ridden in a dress?
In fact, this is a truly absurd.

And you should try it. You'd appreciate
the pants you're wearing.

Madam Beja... Madam...

Miss...

Oh, my God, what is this woman?

Ana Jacinta.

You have to obey the law,
in this case, me.

Women in pants, no way.

- Mom.
- Oh, my God.

The devil wears pants now. Like a man.

- May I ask what you've come here for?
- I just came to give you a message.

I bought Colonel Botelho's land.

The ones just beyond your fence.

Please, respect
the boundaries between the farms.

Boundaries?
Who are you to talk about boundaries?

You had no right.

That chapel is part of my memories.
Mine.

You're lying, Beja.

Antônio promised us
that those lands would be ours.

You know Antônio so well,

and you also know
he never keeps his promises.

Get out of here! Go, you harlot.

Kidnapped wasn't enough,
you should've died!

First, she almost ended your career.

Now this. She buys
the land that was supposed to be ours.

It wasn't my fault.

She offered twice as much,
everyone would accept.

You haven't realized it yet, have you?

Your greatest enemy is no man.
It's Beja.

You're wrong, dad.

There's nothing more
she can do against me.

That's what you think.
She keeps doing it behind your back.

What are you talking about?

Beja is meeting with the Colonels
from all over the state.

Articulating.
Using all sorts of women's tricks.

- It's impossible.
- That's what they told me.

And, depending on how Dom Pedro
gets on with the Crown,

we'll soon have another election
to establish a Parliament in Brazil.

So that's why I'm telling you:

if Beja wants to, she'll take you down.

My supporters are loyal.

It would be better if Beja disappeared
from the face of the Earth.

That's for sure.

Don't stuff yourself,
otherwise you'll wake up bloated.

You have to be slim
for your inauguration tomorrow.

Yes, I'm aware,
but I just wanted a potato.

You had to see how your father
was fawned over in Vila Rica, Carminha.

They gave all the best to him.

Aren't you going to eat, Carminha?
This is new.

You've certainly been eating in hiding.
So you don't hear what you deserve.

Don't you keep telling me
to close my mouth? It's closed.

That's better.

Are you expecting someone, my child?
At this hour?

Yes.

I mean, no.

Not anymore.

The goldsmith has done a great job.
It's beautiful.

Now I feel complete.

Madam Beja,

has a crown that suits her.

Did you have the horse groomed?

Are you sure?

Is that what you really want to do?

If Araxá believes that money is power,

I'm going to show them that there is
something more powerful than money.

What a nice table, Augusta.

Not to mention the dress.
It's beautiful.

That's because you haven't seen

the toga I ordered for Costa Pinto
in Vila Rica.

It's not every day that one's husband
is appointed Judge.

Not even the father, right, Carminha?

Where's the smile?

There's nothing like an elegant
get-together to drive out

the ghost of that demoness who brought
misfortune to Araxá.

Beja? What's she up to this time?

You seem to live outside the world,
Genoveva. Good Heavens.

Who hasn't heard that the damned woman
entered my husband's office,

wearing long pants?

I hereby ratify

the investiture
of Mr. Jorge da Costa Pinto,

judge-elect, assuming

full exercise of the magistracy.

In the presence of witnesses,
I declare the solemn session closed.

May our Most Reverend also bless

the pen I used for years and years

to sign the sentences and promote

good and justice in our village.

What a noble gesture, colleague.

May justice never leave
the pen of our new

and most illustrious judge,
Jorge da Costa Pinto.

Brothers, in the name of the Father,
the Son and the Holy Spirit.

- Amen.
- Amen.

May it be so.

May God guide me

in the role so nobly...

exercised by my predecessor.

Could it be the people who have
come to greet me?

All of you need to see
what's going on in the square.

Mercy.

Now this crazy woman
has crossed the line.

What is it, Beja?

The judge forbade me to ride in pants.

So I came without them.

But I guarantee he won't mind this.

The biggest diamond in Brazil.

It's mine.

I'm going to put an end
to this shamelessness now.

Calm down, Felizardo.

There are other ways to solve
this problem.

Violence would make it worse.

But it would bring peace back to Araxá.

Who needs peace when you have
all this beauty?

Get down. I'm telling you to get down!

Do you want to boss me around?

You're not even
in charge of your own life.

Beja, you are unique.

Did you see the size of that gem?

The diamond.

Come down now, or I'll use force.

You're dying to get
your hands on my body.

Come down now!

- Beja!
- She fell down.

Beja...

Someone shoot Beja!

Help!

Help!
