Original subtitles

Lucio Flavio Passanger of Agony.

During the 1960's, an organization appears, baptized by the Brazilian police chronicles as...

the death squadron, which starts to tackle crime outside the boundaries of law.

In this conjuncture, many characters and episodes arose, which marked an era.

Lucio Flavio is one of them.

A short while before his death, Lucio Flavio told this story to a journalist,

its characters and situations are not imaginary.

The name of the bandits are true,

and of the policemen, fictitious.

What you don't understand, is that only real men get in the action.

One shouldn't lie.

Wasn't that what we agreed on?

These people are stubborn.

They need a beating to learn.

Get in!

Get in, fuck!

I did what Moretti ordered.

I thought I was acting in your behalf.

I never interfered.

But they backstabbed us.

They took the money.

Disappeared with the money and the cars.

True or false?

True or false!?

It's true, but I thought Moretti had a deal with you guys.

Stop this shit.

Stop this shit!

Get off!

We're mates, a long time now.

We're friends.

Get up!

Let's go!

I never did you wrong.

Fuck, if Marco Aurelio did this, it was because Moretti forced him.

Leave it man.

Lucio!

I swear I wouldn't give the cars Lucio.

But Moretti talked so much.

About all the things he sorted out with you.

I just couldn't refuse.

He even threatened us with the solitary.

Liar!

You can believe me Lucio, it wasn't my idea.

It was all Moretti's doing.

Fuck you, you piece of shit, stop it!

We're busting our ass of in Rio...

and these two fucks trying to backstab us.

With or without Moretti, you're nothing but a traitor.

You son of a bitch.

Bank of Rio.

Look, here they come.

Let's go.

There they are.

Everything should be in order.

Let's go.

Is there anything there?

I think so...

This is a robbery!

Shut the fuck up!

This is a robbery!.

Sit there kid. Sit!

Hands on your head.

Everybody shut up!

Quiet.

Be quiet. Stay here!

Go Nijini.

Over there.

Open up.

Move!

Over there.

In here, fast!

Let's go.

If anybody moves, I'll shoot.

I'll shoot.

Its indescribable how much that family has suffered because of those boys,

It's God's punishment Mr. Emílio.

I warned their mothers.. seek after a holy father.

Pray to Iemanjá while they are still alive.

They didn't listen.

Anybody there know Lucio Flavio?

Noquinha?

Noquinha?

That's right.

He's a dreamer.

And this culprit is a person, grandpa?

I'm not talking about the bandit. I'm talking about a kid I knew.

It he turned out that way, it's not his fault.

It was his mother's, who didn't seek Iemanja.

That way we wont arrest anyone, grandpa.

And what does that matter?

For the police, we are whatever the police wants us to be.

For example...

any black man, for the police, is a scoundrel.

Did you see that boss?

The man is a hero up here.

And has a sissy name.

Noquinha.

Until you say what we want to hear...

grandpa is drinking with us.

And will drink more than myself.

You know how it is...

I'm working, and the boss might get angry.

For holy mother Janaina.

Where is Lucio Flavio?

Serving his penance.

Look here grandpa, I'm not like those people who don't pay and cheat.

I'll buy the liquor.

I'm on your side.

Grandpa.

Grandpa!

We just want to know some little things...

No one’s going to harm the kid.

Here it is grandpa.

Drink up.

I see we're going to have to do a lot of drinking, to clear our minds.

Here grandpa, drink up.

I'm asking you: where is Lucio Flavio?

Serving his penance.

I'm asking an objective thing.

If I knew where Lucio Flavio was...

I wouldn't say.

And what if he showed up here, snuffing you all...

like his did with his two pals in Goias?

What would you think of the good boy?

The man is asking you a question.

Are you deaf?

I have nothing against Lucio Flavio.

Not Lucio Flavio.

No-qui-nha

No-qui-nha

I miss you terribly.

Do you think we'll be together like this someday?

After all, it's not asking too much.

Anytime now.

Sometimes I come home and don't feel like sleeping alone.

I feel a terrible agony.

I know.

But if God helps me.

Someday I'll pull a job and we'll change our lives.

Will we be able to have a house someday?

Yes.

But it will be... somewhere else, in another country.

In a place no one knows us.

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

But you won't be mad at what I'm about to say?

No. Say it.

Guess.

Come on Janice, spill it out.

I'm pregnant.

I'm keeping the baby.

But a son now Janice?

When did you want it?

There's no way to have a son now.

We have to be more comfortable.

To have a baby Lucio, we just need to like each other.

That's all.

I like you.

No Janice, that's not all.

No way. It won't work.

Look, I want it. If you can't handle it, that's your problem.

Open up. It's me, Nijini.

Open up.

They're on Mikusuka.

We waited for that fucker Moretti, until noon.

He never showed up.

It was as if they were onto us already.

You shouldn't have risked coming all the way here Nijini.

I wanted to warn you soon.

Mikusu may even spill about stuff we didn't even do.

You better split fast. Go!

Fucking Moretti is always with the Lion's role.

And still doesn't stick to his promises.

Do you think something happened?

Like fuck it did!

We're busting our asses off to get a lousy 58 thousand.

And he's helping those pricks from the press say it was 100 thousand.

It won't be true if he says how it was.

Not even that!

Moretti takes 30 grand, clean, without even leaving the house...

and we get screwed over!

Let's get out of here.

Take care baby.

If anything comes up Nijini will let you know, ok?

Don't get in trouble out there, ok?

Wake up. Let's go.

Handcuffs.

Look at that.

We're swimming in shit...

and the scoundrel here full of dough.

We're gonna get our hands on this money, right?

And keep your mouth shut.

Because the word out for you... is to hit as hard as possible.

You hear me?

Noquinha.

Who are you?

Who are you?

I'm 132.

That one there is Carcara.

And the driver...

the driver has no name. A friend of the police.

Have you seen Moretti?

Who?

Moretti. Are you working for him?

It's not like that. We're with him.

And Moretti doesn't like to see people begging.

Are you gonna be in the interrogation?

It all depends.

Like fuck it does!

Are we or not in the same boat?

Let's suppose so.

Then you should know this... you're not alone in this.

Or do you think I escaped all those times for free?

I've left a lot of dough behind.

That's why I want to know about you commitment.

If you're with me, you're with my brother Nijini, Fernando, Liece and the rest.

No thief makes a fool of me.

How did you kill Armandinho and Marco Aurelio?

Look here.

I'll hold on in this pigsty.

But know this...

eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.

The son of a bitch who tries to cripple me...

will be beheaded.

I'm paying a high price for my safety.

Tell the truth or I'll kill you!

Well look here.

Your little boss is back.

I want to know the whole truth.

From the moment you fled prison...

up to the robbery in Goias.

Who killed Armandinho and Marco Aurelio?

Who killed Armandinho and Marco Aurelio?

I did it!

And why did you kill?

The order was to kill.

Order from whom?

Order from whom?

Order from whom?

It was Lucio Flavio.

I'm from his group.

Where do you keep the money?

The kid deserves respect.

He can read, write...

Look, his teeth all in place.

His eyes are green.

Some rich guy pose.

You're turning into a starlet, you disgusting faggot.

Take his clothes off.

A criminal's punishment has to be like in the middle east...

cut out tongue and punctured eyes.

Cheaper for the State, and safety for society.

Why did you kill Armandinho and Marco Aurelio?

Private business.

There's no private business here.

Why did you kill them both?

You're gonna regret it if you don't talk.

No one will worry.

A long time will pass before anyone knows you're here.

And I'll puncture your lungs.

Why did you kill your little friends?

Talk, you son of a bitch!

Don't do anything to him.

I have a better idea to end his macho bullshit.

Tell the whole story...

or you'll be Mangue's whore.

You gonna say the truth or not?

Let's go. Don't take long.

Are you a man or not?!

And we continue into the evening...

music, horoscope and information.

The Ventures.

So.. let's go?

I can't man.

I really can't.

They beat me up bad.

Come on, I'll help you.

Leave me. Leave me.

Take care of yourself.

Music at Dawn

Did you talk with Liece?

I did. He said he'll meet you at the chosen place.

This... is for Janaina.

My guide... and your godmother

When you're in trouble, think of her Noquinha.

They passed by your place.

They pressed your sister, and your parents, who arrived just in time.

Made a mess in the apartment...

turned it all upside down.

Did mom spend too much time at the station?

They held the old woman down there all day.

The pricks. How can they go pressuring anyone, just like that?

Noquinha, can't you turn things around? Start over?

It's not possible to start anything anymore.

I'm more screwed than a bolt.

You don't know anything about it, do you?

It's good the way it is.

They won't mess with me.

I'm not turning back now.

You're still young Noquinha.

You can start over.

Come on old timer.

Do you think I'll turn back?

If I piss on my pants, who will Lucio Flavio be?

And what about all those years?

Or do you think I'm fooling around?

No.

I don't think you're playing around Lucio Flavio.

I think you're abusing Mother Janaina's protection.

You know, Noquinha, I saw that man the other day.

Tall, large chains on his neck. He wants to finish you.

He's gonna meet you again, say he's your friend...

but don't trust him.

And what man is that, old timer?

He's a warrior, but sad. Hugs, but is no friend.

Take this. It will protect you.

It will close your body against him.

Thank you old man.

I thought you weren't coming anymore.

All good?

All good.

Let's go?

Yeah.

How's it going kid?

They beat you like a dog, right?

So you saw a criminal's life ain't easy.

What criminals?

A criminal is someone's who does big business. Always with money in his pocket.

Dining in nice places. And not hiding all over the place.

Don't be stupid woman.

And pretty women have to be smart?

But you're stupid alright.

So, after the beating, what happened?

Last night, some guy opened the cell and said there was someone outside wanting to talk to me.

I couldn't understand. I knew that if I left to the street, I'd be done for.

And that's what happened.

Now, tell another one, because that one won't do.

I'm telling you man. Look at me.

Or do you take me for some chump?

Poor baby.

Beaten up like a man.

Tomorrow I'm going to the beach.

I'm sick of this cops and robbers game.

Are you gonna give me the money for my new bikini?

Calm down woman.

Look here woman, you know Liece will never let you down.

I'm sick of walking down the streets, thinking I'm being watched

Can you believe I went to buy the newspaper, and this strange fella was looking at me?

Some fat mulato, full of rings on his fingers.

And then?

Then nothing. When I went to pay for it, they stopped talking.

That's what caught my attention.

Was he suspicious?

I don't think so.

Are you sure?

He didn't follow me.

I walked a bit, crossed the street..

when I looked back he was standing in the same place.

It has to be 132.

I feel like finding him. Let's go?

Let's go.

You stay put there. Ok?

One word and you're dead.

You can continue eating.

What is it man?

I want to know who ordered my beating.

Who is this prick Bechara?

Moretti already knows everything, Bechara went crazy.

It went all wrong.

This beating you up wasn't in the plan.

I swear on my mother's happiness.

Who were the men with hoods?

Who were the men with hoods?

I don't know.

Were they going to snuff me?

It's hard to know what went down with Bechara and Moretti.

But you have to trust Moretti.

I think you're gonna take a piss.

I'm going with you.

Let's go. Move.

Move.

Move the fuck over there!

Get this you piece of shit, I'm not interested in negotiating with Moretti

I want names!

Understand?

If that empty head of yours can't remember...

you don't deserve to be alive.

Here, hold this.

Bechara got people from the outside...

folks who know how to beat without bloodshed.

And what about the guy with social shoes?

The social shoes. Don't you remember?

Talk man! Talk!

The Tijuca neighborhood.

Tijuca is a big place 132.

Oscar Pimentel Street.

And the other one?

The one with the dark suit?

About your height?

I don't remember his name.

Don't scream.

Don't scream!

Don't scream.

Speak.

The guy in the dark suit, similar to yourself.

Sit! You've proved you think a lot clearer sitting down.

Don't do this to me Lucio...

I'm a nice guy.

I have a wife, and six children.

With what I earn I can hardly buy food.

You lying fuck. I'll kill you!

Shut the fuck up!

Shut up.

Acted all tough. Fucked over a friend of mine.

Am I lying?

You fucking faggot.

I was in the bar.

I was following orders.

I never went to disturb your mother.

I want you to know this...

from now on, I'm the one who calls the shots.

Get it?

Another interesting thing...

your mother lives in Padre Miguel.

Close to a piazza full of trees.

And she's going to suffer an accident.

Isn’t that so Liece?

Of course.

Look... I don't mind paying for my freedom.

Did you or did you not receive the 30 grand?

Did you get it?

Then you have to carry out your part.

I want it all crystal clear.

Get it?

You tell Moretti I want to see him tomorrow at the dumpster.

Go ahead, I'll cover.

Did it have to be in this place?

Why, don't you like the smell?

Or don't you want to get your shoes dirty?

You shouldn't do what you did with 132.

But I did! Do you think I'm playing?

I don't know. I don't understand.

I'm the one who doesn't understand.

They wanted to snuff me out.

Then the kid appeared all cut up.

A body floating on shit. A skull drawn on his back.

So they can say it was a criminal beef.

You're mistaken.

Like fuck I am!

132 took a load to deliver to you, didn't he?

I didn't get any cover.

What kind of shitty officer are you?

Are you influent or is that all bullshit talk?

Spill it Moretti.

I won't admit anyone talking to me like that.

That's me. If you don't like it, fuck off.

I know I'm alone in this society anyway.

That's why I run the fucking gang.

I give the orders!

If you don't like it, scram.

You're too small to end me.

And that's why you got arrested like a chump then?

I think you knew about everything.

Took the money and left me in the solitaire.

How did you escape?

You think you escaped easily?

I took care of things man.

I tipped everyone.

Just to refresh your memory.

That wall you jumped over...

there were two rifles aiming to cut you in half.

Do you think they jammed?

Daddy here took care of things.

Come on Lucio.

What's the matter?

We are like this coin...

there's one on each side... but they're close together.

Police and criminals are the same thing. They're all on the same boat.

Those who protect us don't want any trouble.

We have to be friends.

How much do you need this time?

100 thousand for me. And 200 more to clear you off.

That way no one touches you.

I have a plan that's going to work.

I need guns, machine guns...

and a fast car.

And what's the plan?

A bank full of money.

When?

It's a secret for now.

Take care of your part.

Then we'll discuss the rest.

I'm out of here.

I don't want any surprises.

And don't forget you're on Liece's aim

Quiet.

Quiet or I'll shoot you!

We've been waiting 3 hours for you, Mr. Constancio Ramos.

It's not my fault. Bechara's the boss.

I work for him. I'm not in the police force.

Sit.

Isn't it sitting down that we can achieve that calmness....

of the torture chambers, Mr. Constancio?

I want Bechara's address and phone number.

Mr. Constancio is a professional torturer...

knows what he's doing.

Never loses his temper.

I don't need a hood to finish you.

I can do that with a clean face, you son of a bitch!

Adress and phone number!

No way.

Address and phone number!

Address and phone number!

Hello.

Is this Dr. Bechara's residence?

Is he in?

Who is this?

Turn on the gas.

Sit.

Tomorrow we'll study the bank.

If there's as much money as I think...

we'll soon leave this shit.

I can't stand the smell of these people.

Let's go.

Another robbery by the dangerous gang of know criminal Lucio Flavio Lirio has just happened.

This time, they invaded a banker house in the city of Taubate...

and took 400 thousand cruzeiros.

They seized all the employees in the bathroom...

and disappeared.

The police has no clue on the robbers.

But, all the access routes...

These fuckers sure make things up.

There goes 400 grand.

And these fuckers putting the blame on us.

I'm going after Moretti.

I want to get my hands on that money too.

Hey, do you think Moretti's involved?

But of course.

There's no business if Moretti's not involved.

Fuck!

I can't understand you people.

What the fuck do you mean?

They do a robbery, keep the fucking money and we take the blame!

Go get us some beers.

Fuck. Still nothing

How can this prick Bechara hide Constancio's death?

Hello.

Moretti.

Are you fucking kidding?

No, he said he's Moretti.

Hello.

Lucio? No, I don't know where he is.

Of course, I can look around.

Right. Ok.

I'll let you know later.

Bastard.

Moretti knows where we are.

Even has the phone number.

The let's get the fuck out of here.

No. No way.

We have to die.

Stupid criminals have to be burned to death.

Leave the wise guy thinking we're stupid.

Then when he's really close...

we finish him.

Fill him with lead.

The mood is getting too heavy.

I'm gonna do some shopping.

Any special requests?

It's Moretti people.

Calm down, I come in peace.

Moretti is always working.

Your guns.

All working flawlessly.

I liked the promptitude.

Now the rest is with us.

Comfortable right?

Luxury apartment...

beautiful woman.

Colour t.v. Beer.

What else do you need?

I still need to know...

what's with this 400 grand robbery story?

I don't know anything about it.

Of course you don't know anything.

It's Bechara's doing right?

He suppressed the news on Constancio's death.

The newspapers knew nothing about it.

Isn't that right 132?

There was no need to even ask the building's janitor.

They already knew it was you guys.

Well, I thought it was a mistake kid.

Bechara could be our ally.

I don't want anything to do with that prick.

One shouldn't do what he did with me and Mikusu.

But he did. And you have to deal with it.

Aren't you the greatest? Don't you want to be on top?

Then you have to get fucked over too.

Or do you think I run things alone?

I have to compose. That's the game of power

And you wanted me to get beaten up and then have lunch with them?

That's not how I am Moretti.

But it's a way to look at things.

Don't forget he's the police, and you're the criminal.

Think about it ok?

I know I'm a criminal, but I don't like being punched in the face.

I have people everywhere... ready to snuff anyone out.

Bechara's turn will come. You can be sure of that.

Wait and see!

That's ok.

Gentlemen, let's get to work.

Fuck Moretti! What's the deal with Bechara?

Vanity kid. He doesn't like to lose.

But then again, who does?

I wanna know if I can count on you?

I'm in.

I want to know everything about Moretti.

What did he do to you now?

Fuck.

There's one thing I didn't like.

He didn't know our address. Phoned us up all of a sudden.

Then came over.

Went to show that we can't hide.

There's a rat somewhere.

Anyone in sight?

Ligia. Liece's lover.

How did you figure that out?

A hunch.

Just a hunch.

And Liece. Does he know?

No.

And I don't want him to.

That's why I'm here.

I want to know if Moretti meets with Ligia in this apartment.

I want you in the team. But playing on the outside

Can I count with you?

Sure.

Great.

I want a word with you.

Come in.

What's the deal man?

What are you doing here?

I don't have to explain myself to anyone.

But I think you do.

What are you doing here?

I already told you. While I'm on top, no one touches Lucio.

You know damn well he works for me.

I don't want him getting beaten up like the last time.

You're mistaken Moretti.

Things are changing.

Either you accept the rules of the game...

or you'll be left out.

You'll never be boss.

You're a lowlife.

You'll die being bossed around.

Hey guys.

Liece.

Nijini.

Janice got your message. She's coming over. Legua.

We have only one stop left.

The inauguration of the new Krueger factory.

Therefore we'll take the highway up to the curve.

It's a deserted path.

Come here! Come here!

Why the rush baby?

What a sight.

You're Lucio's girl aren't you?

Wonderful.

Let's end this at once.

Let me see.

How wonderful.

I'll cut those little tittles up.

I'll cut you up my love.

Lucio! They're trying to kill me.

Now it's your turn, you bastard.

Lucio, open the door. I have a present for you.

Can you hear me?

The building is surrounded. And you better turn yourself in.

Lucio Flavio arrested for the 15th time.

The rest of the group is safe. Hang on. Moretti.

Get in.

Sit.

What is your relationship with Moretti?

I don't know who you're talking about.

We're with the Federal Police.

And we're looking into some police officers.

If you could help, that would be good.

Do you think Moretti has any relations with Bechara?

It's hard to tell. I saw that prick once only.

Who is Bechara?

Do you think I'm a snitch?

You have to help us correct the system.

There's lots of fiends that need to change.

For how long have you know Moretti?

You know, I can't remember.

Where does Moretti get all that money from?

Ask him. Maybe he'll lend you some.

Speak properly.

What we want, is to end barbarism in the prisons.

Torture is no good.

Try and remember something.

Stay on our side.

Otherwise you might drop dead somewhere.

Look here friends, I've been dead meat a long time now.

I'm just waiting for my time.

I'm a painting without a frame.

But with this here... I've opened a lot of locks.

Everybody wants it, but it's always in my hand.

This blade has ripped a lot of snitches open.

Now let's talk man to man.

What's with this snitch bullshit?

Son of a bitch.

We know that you opened your mouth.

That you told the feds everything.

Like fuck I did.

They asked for me and I stayed quiet.

We're not here to listen to your little stories.

You have to explain the death of Armandinho and Marco Aurelio to your mother.

They died because of themselves. Treason.

We were just waiting for you to mess up to finish you off.

I'm fed up with this provocation bullshit!

You'll die for your mouth. It's what you deserve.

I'm man enough to answer for my actions.

I won't die by the wrong door.

If you have any doubts, end this at once.

I want to know, who's paying you to kill me?

If I can't escape, I'll kill myself.

What have you been up to?

I fell into Moretti's trap.

Are you sure?

Yes.

He got me to drive this boat, you know?

Driving women to some rich guy's yacht.

Fucking crazy people. Head full of dope.

Money was good, so I said yes.

Until one night, a guy there went really crazy and shot 2 women to death.

Moretti went on to him. Dropped some serious money to quiet the story down.

The guy agreed easy on it. But he didn't like the looks on me.

Thought I could be a witness and wanted my head.

Do you know what that is like? He asked for my head!

And Moretti?

He offered 10 grand to put my face on the papers, as if I had died.

I gave the picture. The papers said I died in a shootout at the Barra Neighborhood.

But the money, I never saw it.

Then I forgot I was dead right. Went for a walk at Central do Brasil.

The man got me, took me to a dark room, took my clothes off...

turned on a tape recorder and said...

Look here, you can confess anything here.

They beat me up, twisted my arm until it broke.

But I still resisted.

But then, they put me on the pole.

They burned me with cigarettes.

I couldn't take it anymore. Then I confessed everything.

I said that I did kill the girls, yes.

I said everything they wanted to hear.

I'm a murderer!

I'm a murderer!

Look here you chump. I don't like lies.

Moretti sent you down here to kill me, didn't he?

Didn't he?

He's gone. But shall remain alive amongst us.

We'll never forget his fighting spirit, and militant character.

The organization he implemented, will collect its rights.

As will the rights of the community.

It's up to us to continue his work, and take the organization...

above the normal presuppositions of the law.

The stain of crime, is removed by force.

The delinquent that tries to push us over... must die.

We're here to do justice.

And that justice shall be done.

So your little friend is on vacation?

Yes. But we're making plans to have him back soon.

But the feds are closing in on him.

And it will go on. They want to know everything.

You're kidding?

You don't even know what happens in your backyard.

People are starting to think he's becoming too dangerous.

He's headlines and we have to work quietly.

Who are these people? Speak clearly.

Look here Morreti, you know damn well what I'm talking about .

Now we're an organization, and there's no more if this "I want, I do" talk.

So?

Everything will remain more or less the same.

But for the time being, take it slow.

Some things have changed.

Moretti can fail...

but not the organization.

It has coverage. And a very good one.

And it's best for you not to be on the outside.

Otherwise, the rope will break on your end.

Please, please.

Let me die in peace.

No, no, no.

They won't put the blame on you.

There's nothing else I can do.

They have the truth.

I'm a murderer.

Get out old man. Out!

Hands on you head.

Let's go. Quiet.

Do you think Lucio is in there?

It was about time.

I'm going to raffle my heart...

put it up to auction..

sell it to someone.

I wont let the poor thing...

live without affection

and be always alone.

Tomorrow I'll go out...

not knowing where to go...

searching around the world...

I 'm not interested in richness...

and poverty doesn't bother me...

I want someone who knows how to love.

Your brother Nijini...

already a man.

Took after you.

I can trust him.

But he's still a boy.

Sometimes I wonder if it wasn't stupid to bring him here.

But he wanted to.

It's in the blood.

We're getting old Noquinha.

Fat bellies.

What's your problem?

Mine?

What's your name baby?

Nilsa, but everyone calls me Tiene.

Do you know this guy here?

No idea. But he's good looking.

He's my older brother.

You don't look anything alike.

Yeah, but we both play for the same team.

But with different shirts.

Did you hear that Noquina?

What's up man?

Lygia is Moretti's playtoy.

At that building.

Can I trust that?

I saw it myself.

And Moretti?

Now he's Bechara's man.

But don't worry about this party.

This fucking robbery better make some good money.

Who is going to be there?

The whole group.

Then there'll be nothing left for me.

I need 200 thousand fast...

I won't split it with these low-lives.

Cut that out Moretti.

Your thugs are the lowlifes.

And I only talk about money when it's in my pockets.

What's the matter man?

The guns are top notch. There's even machine guns.

I don't know why you need the whole gang.

It's because I want good coverage inside the bank.

There might be more money than we thought.

Don't forget that I'm the boss.

Fine. Fine.

I'll leave you to it.

This time everything will work out.

Let's go.

In an hour we'll be away from here.

Don't help the injured ones.

How may I help you?

I'd like to speak with you.

Sure, at your service.

We're opening a business here at Alfandega road.

And I'd like to open an account.

My pleasure.

Quiet.

Get up!

Everybody there.

Open that safe, now!

Open up or I'll blow your fucking brains out!

Open the safe.

Nijini.

Here, open up.

Here Lucio

The car!

It was so easy I might get suspicious.

There was hardly any fun.

I'll tell you something...

there's more money here than we can imagine.

This time Moretti will be happy.

If he doesn't man...

I'm thinking 500 grand at least.

About that yeah.

Someone's behind.

They're closing in.

We'll let them pass.

Pass the fucking money.

I'll shoot you.

Give me the bag!

Fuck, who are these guys?

They're not police.

But we'll find out.

Want something to drink?

We're here to settle things.

Let's go.

Was it hard to find the house?

No, it was easy.

The difficult part is finding out about our partner.

Who are those guys in bikes?

What?

Some bikers who tried to rob us.

I know nothing about it.

I think you do.

Only you and us knew about the robbery.

Why I am always the culprit?

What about the other guys? Are they deaf-mute?

Wanna know something? I'm fed up with your mistrust.

Guys, if anyone wants whiskey.

The Police are at Urca

They're talking about 700 thousand.

540.

The radio said 700.

The truth is with us.

Liece, you're good at math. Divide that by 6, equal parts.

Why equal parts?

Not everyone had the same responsibility.

Each one fought in his own manner.

90 each.

Besides income tax.

A nice salary for a day at the pool.

Come on, everyone's nervous.

Let's get to living.

Party's over.

The first one to mess up will be skinned alive.

Let's go.

Look. The guys are here.

Yeah, let's go.

Put the bag in the trunk.

Call the other one.

Quiet.

Who hired you?

Moretti.

What else?

He said Dr. Bechara would pay us.

And who is this Moretti?

Some guy from the police.

And the money?

We were meant to give it to him.

Thanks for the money, sucker.

And how is he?

Mischievous as his father.

He's growing fast.

What will he think of me when he grows up?

I won't be alive to know anyway, right?

I love you.

Whatever happens.

Never leave me alone again.

Never again.

I feel as if I'm sinking.

I'm not the same anymore.

I can't control things

I'm watching over everyone all the time.

Fuck.

After all this struggle, I'm still broke.

Not a penny.

Poorer than ever.

Don't talk like that, honey.

You know?

I've been thinking about running away.

Take the kid, and go to another country.

To a safe place.

What do you think?

Do you mean it?

Have you ever killed anyone?

Who said that?

The fat mulatto waiting for me in front of the building.

Been saying lots of bad things about you.

Lies.

They're all lies honey.

Destination: Belo Horizonte

Minas Gerais Inn.

Lucio. Is that Lucio?

It's Moretti man.

Can you hear me?

What a struggle to find you.

I miss you man. You disappeared.

132 is crazy after you.

You know what? There's a thief robbing us, went straight to my locker.

I don't know why, but I thought of Klaus.

Well, since misery doesn't pay the bills. How about a surprise heist?

Did you know that in Belo Horizonte there's an office that could bring some good cash....

Listen to me on this.

They say Belo Horizonte is growing.

How are you ma'am?

Excuse me.

What do you want now?

Klaus is digging your grave.

And you came here just to tell me that?

No. I came here to make a proposal.

For 10 thousand cruzeiros, I can get you a passport with visa and everything.

And you get out of here. Because they want to finish you off.

Who wants to finish me?

A lot of good people. Even Moretti.

Word on the street is that he doesn't need the robbery money anymore.

The death squad.

He'll get paid per dead body.

And your name is on the top of the list.

What else?

My second task is to arrest you, take you to Rio...

and while you're on the inside, we'll provide the passport.

And if it's a lie?

You give the order to kill me.

In my house.

I also have a request for you.

I want a whole file on Bechara.

This guy has gone too far.

It won't do any good.

Other Becharas will appear, worse than him.

Even Moretti, who thinks he's so smart, is nothing but a puppy inside the squad.

Try to understand me!

There's no way to keep you alive out of prison!

I think a flagrant in a short while takes care of things.

And don't get the girl and the kid involved.

And what do you get out of this?

Promotion.

It may not be very smart but...

either you ride with Moretti and continue to rob banks or go and chat with me in a while.

Then we head downtown, routine stuff. You know the drill.

Brains and money never worked out.

I've done my part.

Minas Gerais Bank.

Deputy Frasao. How was the robbery?

I believe that Lucio Flavio's gang had a meticulous plan.

They waited for the security van to deliver the money and 5 minutes later they were in.

And how long did the robbery take?

Less than 10 minutes. There was nothing the employees could do. But they still sounded the alarm.

And what has the police done so far?

We've surround all exits from the city to try and arrest the group.

Thank you very much deputy Frasao.

Two employees were killed in this robbery just committed by Lucio Flavio's gang...

in the Minas Gerais Bank, at Afonso Pena avenue, here in Belo Horizonte.

Once again, Lucio Flavio escaped taking a lot of money with him.

The series of robberies committed by Lucio Flavio is worrying the entire population.

People don't feel safe, and demand more action from the police.

We interrupt our show for the latest bulletin.

One of the boldest robberies in recent years has just been committed by the Lucio Flavio gang.

Besides stealing millions, the criminals left a bloody trail, killing two employees who tried to resist.

As you know, the famous green eyed bandit...

Stay calm ok?

It will all work out.

We'll get out clean.

Getting ready to fly Noquinha?

On the wall!

Get ready for some rough times.

No one else wants to vouch for you.

No one cares if you exist.

Coronel, an interview please.

Why such an extreme measure to capture Lucio Flavio?

So he could be arrested alive.

He has a lot to say. And could even help us out a lot.

The Lucio Flavio case was our main concern.

How was Lucio Flavio located here at the Inn?

My friend, we are always very well informed.

But why the Federal Police?

Here comes our man.

Do you have any idea who denounced you?

Do you know who the snitch is Lucio Flavio?

Now let's speak with Janice, Lucio Flavio's wife.

Is it true that you collaborated in the robbery?

No, I only escaped with him. Because I love him.

Do you know of the crimes he's already done?

No, this is the first time....

She has nothing to do with it!

Lucio. I love you.

I love you Lucio.

Are you aware that you are connected with a criminal?

Lucio is far better than any of you.

I'm capable of killing or dying for him.

In spite of everything, I'm happy with him.

How many people can say that?

And the kid?

I just wished he didn't have to go through all this misery.

In less than 24 hours, the police managed to arrest Lucio Flavio Lirio.

Accused of more than 200 robberies and other crimes.

Lucio Flavio has just arrived here at Galeao Airport.

Where a strong police scheme awaits him.

His future destiny is unknown.

And the only announcement is a press meeting in the next 48 hours.

Coronel, why was the Federal Police called for the Lucio Flavio case?

Because we want to discover how deep it goes...

to find the responsible ones for a certain kind of corruption that we have detected in the police.

What kind of corruption Coronel?

What we're investigating is the involvement of policemen in the killing of criminals...

protection for the drug traffic, prostitution, and other crimes.

As mentioned in the processes.

Coronel, what is Lucio Flavio's relation with such investigations?

We already know Lucio Flavio paid high money for his protection.

We want him to tell us who those protectors are....

so we can quickly investigate these crimes.

Well, since he's here, you can ask him directly.

How many banks have you robbed?

I can't remember.

And how much have you stolen so far?

A bit more than the papers pay you to ask me stupid questions.

And how did you manage to escape from prison so many times?

Money, my friend. A lot of money.

Or do you believe what you read in the papers?

Do you think it's easy to jump over prison walls?

Only I know how much money that cost me.

Who facilitated your escapes?

You won't let it go will you?

There are people from the police that covered for me.

And how does your association work with such people?

Muscle. If we don't give them what we want, we'll be floating the river next day.

Can you understand it?

Are you connected with the squadron?

Look how connected I am with the squad!

And who do you know from the squadron?

I wasn't invited to the squadron graduation prom.

But inside this room, there's some members of the club.

One of them told me once, that a criminal's punishment should be like the middle east...

Cut out tongue, punctured eye... cheaper for the state, safer for society.

One of these little friends, who gave me this bump...

is leaving the room now! Why don't you ask him?

Look here friends.

I'm a criminal alright.

I steal money from banks, because it has no owner.

If I need the money I go and take it!

That's why I'm a criminal.

Now, if I have to shoot, I'll do it.

Because I'm defending myself.

I never set out robbing banks to kill people.

Now, our little friends, not only do they make money but they have a permit to round killing.

Saying it clearly. Police are Police. Criminals are criminals!

Lucio Flavio spills it out.

Criminal denounces death squadron.

Lucio Flavio gives Death Squadron in.

Liece's lover killed. Victim of the squadron.

New Death Squadron victim.

Shoot!

There will be no one left from Lucio's gang to tell the story.

I can assure you of that. I'll turn you all in.

Those who remain will have to deal with me.

That's not fair. We're here to help you.

Moretti has the passports ready. You can escape on the first chance.

Moretti is finished business for me.

I want to you all on the headlines.

Full of lead, like Nijini.

I'm telling the whole story, like I was told.

With all the names.

How we become partners with the police.

And how much it costs to escape prison.

You're joking.

No I'm not. I've never been more serious.

I should have learned that criminals have no friends on your side.

You created a society in which only the rich guys from the squadron make the most.

We come in with blood and stupidity.

But the whole country will learn about this.

I'm writing to a friend who will handle it.

You may finish me, but not my story.

I wouldn't want to be in your skin.

Today you're headlines, and sell newspapers...

but tomorrow, you'll be forgotten.

You're nothing but a dreamer kid.

Noquinha.

Who are you?

We're on holidays.

Wanna try your luck?

No, not today.

Either you play now, or never again.

The guy's a sissy.

Stop that racket, or I'll take that knife from you.

Like fuck you are.

I'll take it away.

I'm the fucking boss here!

You've killed him already. Enough.

We're being paid for this man.

Did the doll have a bad dream?

Now it's my turn.

Careful, you might lose a finger.

Do I look like I piss in my pants?

He's sound asleep.
