Tough day, man.

Dump it here, Hotmail and Samurai, my main man.

Cool shit, look at those pieces, reinforcements, guys!

Here, get into position over there. You get me some meat...

-Tiquino. -Say it.

Come here. Fetch something for the boys.

I'm coming.

Pass by Dona Geno's and fetch two one-liter sodas, okay?

Why not get a two-liter one?

Christ Tiquinho, get two one-liters. Go on.

But two one-liters is the same as one two-liter, can't you add up?

Get two one-liter bottles, you hear? Now hurry!

The fizz always goes out of the two-liters, go on!

Holy shit, these kids have no respect anymore.

Hi, Marcao.

Hey, everything's ok with the guns.

Yeah!

Cool!

Just say the word.

No sweat. Nice and easy. Okay, see you.

Hey Tiquinho! Go fetch Rui, urgent, okay?

Alright.

For fuck's sake, haven't you gone yet?

Go get the damn sodas, man! Hurry!

Turn that TV down, Leandro. Eat something, go on.

Rui! Janete, is Rui around?

Rui! Hey Rui!

Rui, Puleiro wants a word!

Tell him I'll be right there.

Sorry man, but it's got to be now.

I just told you, I'm coming! Get out of there.

Bye, dad.

Come here.

Listen here, Leandro. I want you to keep this for me.

Don't show it to anyone.

When you get back from school, you give it to me.

Let's go, son!

Bye, dad.

-Bye Rui, be right back. -Bye.

Come on, son.

Look! No, sir! Not here. Get down.

That's it! Let's go!

Stop, you hear? Everyone into the classroom!

I thought I told you to stop? Inside. Go on.

Inside. Go on.

Come on!

-You, are you deaf? -But miss, the bell hasn't rung yet!

So what? You want to get shot? Get that ball at once.

-You see, Selma, again! -They're having a "barbecue".

Yeah, they have a "party" and the kids get stuck in the classroom.

Hey, Dona Janete.

Hi Janete, come here, don't go.

I want a word. Brigadeiro, show!

-You all right? -I'm fine.

Come on in. Let's sit down for a while.

-It's so hot! -Sit down here.

-Want something to drink? -No thanks.

So why didn't you tell me before? How's your mother?

More or less, because she's in a public hospital.

You know what happens, they've put off her surgery twice.

She doesn't complain. I worry because her leg's all swollen...

and painful, so I called you.

With money we can go private...

sort it out right away, see?

Here. It wasn't easy getting this money.

I know.

I've been thinking of you so much. About us, our life.

Whatever.

I know you got mad at me, but...

Paulo, let's not talk about that now, there's no time...

I'm late for school, I left the kids in class.

Here. Pay me whenever you can, okay?

Thanks. It'll take a while. With my salary...

but I think I can pay you back by the end of the year.

Wait, can I pass by your place later on, just for a chat?

Better not. Just leave things the way they are.

Come on, Veronica, I've just lent you three grand...

and you can't talk five minutes?

Just a chat, have a beer. I miss you.

So I'm going to have to sleep with you,

because you're lending me money, is that it?

-I understand. -Did I say that?

More or less. I know you, keep your money.

-Stop being so proud. -I don't want your money!

I already regret calling you, it was a bad idea to borrow from you.

-Where's your current bitch? -What are you talking about?

-Call her. Keep your money. -Sit down, will you?

Let me go or I'll make a scandal in here.

Veronica! Veronica!

Bye, Paulo. Get off my back.

So, Paulo? Lost again?

Too smart for her own good, I'm telling you. Let's go.

-Foot. -Feet.

-Mouse. -Mice.

Very good, class. Pay attention now.

-Cactus. -Cactuses.

Cactuses?

-Selma, sorry I'm late! -Just a little bit.

-I've two mothers waiting for me. -I'm sorry!

-Bye, class! -Bye!

Right, let's start.

Copy from the blackboard into your Portuguese books, okay?

Got your exercise books?

It's a text.

Don't forget to put the title.

I want you to write in capitals...

nice and neat, all right?

Class,

I've got a terrible headache, please keep quiet.

Put your glasses on, Paula. Why do you bring glasses to school...

...if you leave them on your desk? -Sorry, miss.

When you've finished copying, I'll set a few questions.

Give it back, it'll break!

Silence! Give the umbrella back!

Vitoria brings an umbrella even on sunny days!

Vitoria! Leandro, I'm waiting!

If you don't want to come to school, then stay at home.

While you're making this fuss, the class is trying to work.

What do think you're doing?!

Give me that umbrella, I'm confiscating this.

But miss, it's mine!

You shouldn't have let him take it.

Now silence! Everyone shut up!

Keep still!

I tell you once, twice, a thousand times but you don't listen!

Want me to give you all zero? To flunk the whole year?

Shut up! Do as I say!

It'll be no use moaning later.

Close your exercise books!

Math test! Marks counting for the term's grades.

Calm down, Veronica. You're upset.

-No, I'm tired. -lt happens.

I can't stand teaching anymore. Thanks.

I've no patience with the kids,

I spend the whole day yelling at them,

over 20 years in the classroom, Selma...

enough already, I've done my bit.

Substituting you will be tough, you're our best teacher.

Well I want to leave.

I'll pretend I didn't hear that. I just need a teacher to...

take your place and you can become a coordinator.

Excuse me. A boy's been left behind. No one came to fetch him.

Can't he go home alone?

No, his mother won't let him.

Well, Selma?

I've called the father's cell phone, the mother's, no answer.

I'll just have to wait.

-Will you be needing me? -No, you may go.

-Happy birthday, Dona Selma! -Oh thank you, Dilza.

-See you tomorrow. -See you, Dilza. I forgot your birthday!

Congratulations! Aren't you going to celebrate?

Everyone's waiting for me at Cris's Bar. I'm already late.

Come on, Leandro. We'll wait for your mother in my office.

Selma! Go to your party. I'll look after him.

It can be my birthday gift to you.

Can I write on the blackboard?

Sure.

And draw?

Sure.

But my drawing's lousy.

Then write.

My writing's worse.

Do whatever you like, okay?

Great! I'm going to play ball.

No, no! Not in here.

But you said I could do whatever I liked.

-Except play ball. -But you said.

Right. But we can't always do what we want. For instance...

I want to mark this mountain of exercises, and you won't let me.

Come on. Let's go. I'll take you home.

Me have to go all this way to school.

I have to go.

You don't live here.

No, I'm telling you not to say "me have to", it's "l have to".

What's wrong?

Hey, are you sure your house is this way?

-Yes. -Are you?

I am.

-This way? -Yes, this way.

-Your house is up there? -Yes.

You can't pass.

No? I've got to take this boy home.

Well you can't pass, not now.

-He lives here. -You can't pass now, I'm sorry.

What happened, miss?

Just be quiet for a moment.

Can I have some candy?

-Can I have some candy? -Sure.

-Mrs. Antonia... -Yes, my son.

give me two lollipops...

Two lollipops.

Two of those...

-Your call is being relocated... -...a bit of this and a bit of that.

-She's paying, okay? -Okay.

Hi, this is Selma. Leave your message.

Here.

Get that kid out of here, lady.

I will. I'm just waiting for the chaos to settle down to take him home.

But the chaos is at his place, they killed his mom and dad...

ten shots each. Take him away! They're after the kid too, hurry!

-But miss, my house is that way! -No, you can't go home right now.

-Why not? -Why?

-Because your mother's out. -Where's she gone?

I don't know.

And my dad?

He's gone out too.

Where have they gone?

Who knows. Have you any relatives near here?

No.

When are they coming to fetch me?

I don't know.

-Where am I going to stay? -I don't know, I really don't know.

Puleiro.

They're off.

Wassup, playboy! Don't be a fool, man!

Thanks.

Go on. Go on!

-Veronica! -Come on.

Has Selma left?

She has.

What are you going to do with the kid?

I haven't had the courage to tell him yet.

Have you gone mad? Take the kid to Social Services.

It's 10:30!

It's closed.

So the police station. I thought your husband was a cop?

Ex-husband.

You think I'd take the kid to a police station, Aline? Tonight?

Him spend the night in a police station?

-Miss? -Hi.

There's no answer. Want to leave a message for Dona Selma?

No. Thanks.

Hey, come on.

Come on.

Thanks!

Just a minute!

Thanks!

Come in.

Wait, just a minute.

-So, you hungry? -I want to go home.

I want my mom.

-How about a pizza? -Okay.

Just a minute. What sort?

-Can it be sausage? -Sure.

-Half sausage. -And with egg?

-Egg? -Yeah.

I'm sorry. Instead of sausage make it half "Portuguese" style.

I want both.

-I want both. -Just a minute!

You can't, I want half cheese and you choose the other half. Okay?

Okay. But I want it with egg, sausage and ham.

Yes, and "Portuguese" has ham.

But I don't want "Portuguese", I want egg, sausage and ham.

What's that round thing looks like an atomic bomb?

Mushroom?

Yuck! I don't want that.

I'm sorry, so here's the order: a large pizza, half...

"Portuguese", and half cheese, one soda and two beers.

I'm gonna pay cash. Ok, thanks.

Hi.

All right, Marreco?

Okay.

Thanks.

...might have been murdered by one of his battalion mates...

chief of a local gang of killers...

The police believes that Dirceu was killed...

because he knew too much in that...

Veronica! Veronica!

The bathroom's all wet.

Oh God! You mustn't push it too hard.

I didn't know.

Why didn't you call me?

I was doing number two's.

-Doing what? -Number two's.

Go on, off you go.

Hey! How can you eat that?

-Put that in there. -But I'm hungry!

It's as hard as plastic. I'll heat it up later, okay?

Don't come in the kitchen, there's not room for two.

-But I want some water! -There's water in the fridge.

Don't spill it. Look.

Hi. You calmer today?

Come in.

I couldn't believe it when I heard your message.

What's wrong? Miss me, do you?

Paulo, this is Leandro, a pupil of mine. Leandro, this is Paulo.

-Hi kid, you okay? -Sure.

-What are you doing here? -He... well...

Go play outside for a moment. Take your ball.

I'll call you, I just want to talk to Paulo for a minute.

-Okay. -But don't go anywhere, okay?

Come here a minute.

I want to get rid of this problem.

-And what do you want me to do? -I don't know.

Do you know anyone at Social Services?

-No. But I can find someone. -So take me there.

Come with me, I don't want to go on my own.

They're going to give me a hard time for leaving school with the kid.

That's for sure.

-Will I have to go to the police station? -Yes, you'll have to make a statement.

But I don't know anything, when I got to the favela the police...

were already there when I brought the kid, they know more than I do!

Doesn't matter, you'll have to go there with the kid.

After all, his parents have been killed.

Murdered.

Wait.

Paulo.

The kid's disappeared.

-Has he gone downstairs? -I don't know.

What's wrong?

There! There!

Hi!

-Hello my dear. -I thought you weren't coming.

I had stuff to do, I just came to give you a quick kiss...

because I'm late for school. How are things?

Same as yesterday. They're only doing emergency operations.

Your father got into an argument with the doctor.

So rude. Treated me like a pauper.

If it were up to me I'd get the hell out of this place.

But your mother's stubborn, wants to wait.

I'm only going home when they operate my varicose veins.

I so much want to get you out of here, mother.

Don't worry about me. Your father's upset.

We must be patient. They'll operate soon.

It'll be all right. Won't be long now.

I don't know why, but I was remembering you small...

in the back yard playing with a friend.

You were hugging the boy when Luis arrived.

Your father had cut the meat and was holding the knife.

When the boy saw your father,

he ran off like a rocket.

He never came back to the house.

You remember that, dad?

Hey Luis! Veronica is asking whether you remember.

I heard, Rita, I heard.

-There's no need to talk like that. -How am I supposed to talk?

Now you're not going to starting fighting, are you?

You seen Paulo recently?

I'm just fine on my own. I've had enough of men for the time being.

I'm tired of playing the fool.

You're so thin, you look so exhausted.

I've been working too much.

Teaching is tiring.

Putting up with screaming kids all day long and having to try...

to teach them something, it's a tall order.

But when I win the lottery...

I'll buy a big house with a garden. We'll spend all day...

at the pool, drinking beer, just hanging out.

The easy life. I'll never set foot in another classroom.

Good afternoon, Dona Veronica. No need to be scared.

Major Diniz. There's a little matter I must clear up with you.

Excuse me, I must have got the wrong bus...

Please, Dona Veronica. I promise to be quick.

-We know you were with the boy. -What boy?

Leandro, your pupil. Do you know where he is?

No.

Do you know what this is?

Ever seen the boy with one of these?

No.

Dona Veronica, his father was a dealer but he also...

helped the police with important information.

What's that got to do with me?

I'm leaving this cell phone with you. That's my number.

If by any chance you see the boy, call me from this phone.

That boy's a time bomb.

It's the police's duty to protect him.

I know the police. My ex-husband is a cop.

Paulo? He's not a good example.

Excuse me.

No need to write the question in your books, just the answer.

Thais made 60 coconut candies.

She sold 30 to Beatriz. How many candies was Thais left with?

Lucas, throw me the rubber!

No throwing! You stand and fetch it from your friend's desk.

-Lucas, here's your rubber back! -Throw it, "Grilo".

No throwing, "Grilo"! I mean, Mateus!

Teacher called him "Grilo"!

I didn't say anyone could go!

Not till you've finished copying!

Bye.

Where have you been? Why did you escape?

I didn't. To escape I'd have to be locked up.

Have you gone mad? You're under my responsibility!

Big deal.

You're a liar!

I already know my parents are dead!

-Come here! -Let go, you bitch! Whore!

-I want to go home! -Stop!

Stop it! Stop!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, all right? I did it all wrong.

-Who gave you that? -My dad?

Can I see?

Let's go?

Let's go.

-I want to go to the toilet. -Okay.

Toilet.

Hurry, okay?

Veronica!

This is the boy's teacher. They're looking for Leandro.

All right, Veronica.

-You know each other? -They're Paulo's friends.

Oh, yes. Well, I've already told them what happened yesterday.

You shouldn't have taken him home.

I didn't take him home. It was because he had nowhere to go.

And why didn't you go to the police?

-lt didn't occur to me. -Where is he?

-I don't know. He ran off. -And why did he run off?

I don't know. He didn't tell me the reason.

Veronica! They're trying to find the boy.

Are you upset?

I'm sorry, she's going through a difficult time.

All right. Sometimes people don't say what they know...

just because no one asks.

If he shows up or gets in touch...

we'll be counting on your collaboration.

His parents were murdered and whoever did it may well...

have kept a few bullets for the rest of the family.

No problem, we'll let you know.

-Good-bye. -Bye.

Hey, why did you lock me in?!

Veronica! Are you hiding this boy from the police?

Veronica, what's going on?

What are you doing? Veronica!

Talk to me, Veronica! What are you doing?

-Come on, let's go. -Veronica!

-Veronica, where are you going? -Selma, I'll explain later.

Where are you going?

-Veronica! -Hello? Major Diniz? It's Veronica.

Veronica.

We'll wait here. I'm expecting someone, only don't stay near me.

Go over there, something might happen.

Don't worry, if anything happens I'll protect you.

If anything happens, you just run off.

I'll not run. I'm staying. I'm coming to live with you.

With me? That's a good one. I've enough problems in life.

Go over there.

-Get out. -Let go, let go.

You've been here a while now.

-I haven't finished. -Get out.

Get out.

What's going on here?

I got the swing first!

But he's been on it for ages. It's my turn!

-Let him play too. Get off the swing. -You're not my mother.

It's time we went anyway.

You had no business butting in! You're not my mother.

Let go! Let me go!

Listen here! I'm going to leave you here on your own.

-ls that what you want? -You're not my mother!

So call your mother! Where is she? Call her!

Will you obey me or not?

You coming with me or staying here on your own?

Come on! The person I was expecting didn't show up.

Here.

Think of something to do. I'll fix us something to eat, okay?

Yeah.

Can I help?

No, no need.

-What's wrong? -Nothing.

Do me a favor. Get the phone from my bag. Go on, then.

But if it rings, you don't answer.

-Give it to me. -Okay. Thanks!

Put it on the cartoon channel.

Cartoon channel? There isn't one.

Or the sports channel?

No.

God, I live in a favela but we've got all the channels.

I know, pirate cable TV.

-It's got other stuff besides pirates. -Wait, just a minute.

The police major Jorge dos Santos Diniz was killed this afternoon.

The policeman's body was found shot four times in a field...

in the city's west zone. The Major was looking into the possible...

involvement of the police in drug trafficking.

Colonel Eduardo Ribeiro is investigating the possibility...

that the Major was murdered by corrupt policemen.

We're going to arrest those involved with drug dealing.

Such elements are not policemen.

They're crooks dressed as policemen.

We're going to put them behind bars.

Going to answer?

-Are we going away? -Yeah.

Where to?

I don't know.

Where would you like to go?

Milan.

Milan?

Yeah, that's where Ronaldo plays.

You know when I'll have enough money to go to Milan?

When?

In the afternoon of St. Never's Day.

"Quiet!"

My ball!

Veronica!

Open up! I know you're in there!

Veronica!

Veronica!

-Why are they after us? -Because...

I think it was they did that thing to your mom and dad.

Are they trying to kill me?

No, of course not. They'd never do that to a child.

Yeah, but one time they did kill a kid near our place.

They grabbed the kid...

who was shot and then burned with tires.

Leandro, that's not going to happen to you. All right?

-Hi Veronica. -Hi Aline.

Come in.

Aline, I need a place to stay the night with the kid.

-Do I have to use soap? -Yes.

-And shampoo? -Shampoo, conditioner and soap.

-Spring clean, all right? -Okay.

Why can't we play anymore?

Please, mom!

You can play tomorrow. It's late now.

Get to sleep, we've an early start in the morning.

Look, Veronica. Will you sleep in here with Leandro?

Xande can sleep with me.

Thanks, Aline.

See you tomorrow, Leandro.

See you tomorrow, Aline.

-Bye, Xande. -Bye.

Aline, where did I put my towel?

Thanks.

Get out. Get out!

Here. Keep it.

-Her place is bigger than yours. -Yeah.

And she's a teacher too.

But her ex-husband helps out.

Doesn't yours?

We didn't have kids, he doesn't have to.

Why didn't you?

Why?

You think I should have had a kid with him, so he'd help me out now?

-Your place would be better. -Yeah.

But with kids your ex-husband gets in the way all the time.

Is that why you didn't have any?

No. It just didn't happen.

Anyway it's better like this, kids are a handful

and I've got so many to teach.

Am I a handful?

-Not much. -When I grow up I can help you.

Thanks. But that's not why I'm looking after you.

Yeah. You've got so many kids to teach.

But this is different.

Sometimes kids come along just like that,

without planning.

I'm even starting to enjoy it.

-Me too. -That's good.

And we've no ex-husband to get in the way.

Yeah.

For me this is the worst part. Marking exams at home.

You think I'll miss the classroom, the pupils?

My God!

What'll become of my life from now on?

Hell!

What'll I do with my house?

My father, my mother?

Oh my God!

I'll never be able to hide for the rest of my life.

What am I going to do with the kid?

I'll have to stay with him.

-Stay on the run with this kid. -Where will you go?

Don't know. No idea yet.

Veronica, I'd really like to help you...

But you are helping.

Sure. But I'd like you to leave first thing tomorrow.

I don't want to get mixed up in this.

I'm scared. I don't know, cops on the one hand, crooks on the other.

It's too heavy for me.

Mom! I can't get to sleep.

Go to bed, son.

-Will you be needing anything else? -No, that's fine.

Go, mom will take you.

-Good-night. -Good-night.

Veronica?

-Veronica! -Hi.

What time is it.

-Half ten. -My God, I overslept.

Is Leandro around?

-He's in the living room with Xande. -Okay.

Here...

pay me back whenever you can.

I'm going to need this. Thanks.

Good luck, Veronica.

-Bye. -Bye.

Go to the other side or you'll die!

Mom's leaving now, okay?

Bye.

-Bye, Leandro. -Bye, Aline.

You'll die if you stay there!

You'll die there.

I'm worried about you. Where are you? How's Leandro?

Leandro's fine. Everything's fine.

Veronica, you be careful. Those friends of Paulo's, you know?

They've come to the school twice looking for you.

Think hard about what you're going to do.

You won't be able to hide forever.

Go to a lawyer.

Selma, look, I just called to say good-bye.

I'll send word when I can. That is, if I can.

In any case, thanks for everything.

Wait here. Don't move, okay?

Hi! It's all been resolved, Veronica.

What are you doing here?

Paulo's going to pay for my surgery.

And what does he want in exchange for the money?

That's no way to talk, Veronica!

I don't know, such a big hand-out, you get suspicious.

-We'll pay Paulo back. -I don't know how.

You don't owe me a thing, Luis. It's all settled, all right?

I thought I told you there was no need?

Veronica! What's the problem if I want to help?

Honey, don't be so proud.

Rita, don't interfere with their lives.

-I'll be back later. -Don't go on my account, I'll go.

No, you stay. I'm leaving.

Really? Then I'll come with you. I'll give you a ride.

-No need, I'm fine. Thanks. -What about the kid?

-Has he shown up? -No, he disappeared.

One less problem in my life, right?

Bye.

If you hadn't sold the butcher for so little...

we wouldn't be in this situation.

But it was you nagged me into selling it.

"Get rid of the store... blah, blah, blah!"

Let's go!

This comes with a 50% discount. Unlimited mileage.

-It's great. -Has it got air conditioning?

There's no air conditioning, just wheels and it goes.

This is the cheapest model.

I chose the car, you can choose the color, okay?

Let's go, Puleiro!

Come on!

Let's go!

Where is she? It's the kid, okay?

Holy shit! I hate running! I'll put a bullet in her.

They're outside!

-Get in, hurry! -Get in!

Down! Down!

Why didn't you tell me you had the kid. Huh?

Why didn't you tell me?

Answer me, damn it!

Holy shit!

You always think you can solve everything by yourself.

It's alright. It's alright.

Come in.

Come in.

Come on, Leandro.

You needn't be scared, come on.

Christ!

Are you involved in this too?

What do you mean?

-Come on... -Oh, please!

don't tell me you didn't know about your buddies.

I've a lot of friends in the police...

I don't know everything about them!

Well you do now.

Look here, I don't give a damn. They're my friends.

If they're answerable at all it's to the judicial system.

And another thing, Veronica.

Sometime guys aren't crooks, they just can't get out of the system.

You know what I'm going to do with this?

I'm handing it over to the press. I'm blowing this whole thing...

right out of the water. That's what I'm going to do.

Great. You do that. Go ahead.

While you're at it, pass by the florist...

and choose which flowers you want at your funeral.

Are you crazy? Which planet are you on?

You think you're in Switzerland? This is Rio de Janeiro, damn it!

Look here. If this gets into the papers, they'll kill you.

They've already killed Diniz, you think they won't kill you too?

So what do you think I should do?

Get a new identity? Dye my hair purple?

Yeah, maybe.

Veronica.

Wait there, I'll be right out.

What about the kid?

Is it nice?

-ls that a "yes" or a "no"? -It's "yes", right?

"Yes" is uh-huh. I said ah-hah.

Eat up, come on.

Don't worry. I'll finish the rest, I'm hungry.

Paulo!

I'm keeping Leandro. I'm keeping him.

Give it all up and come with us.

-Where? -Anywhere. Someplace far from here.

This boy appeared in my life...

just like that, and I'm going to take care of him.

Forget everything and let's go.

-Wake up. -Hi.

Get the kid, get your things, I'll get the car out of the garage.

Hey, Paulo!

-What are you doing here? -Going out, were you?

Just to buy cigarettes.

It's early.

Early to you. To me it's already late.

Come here.

The heat's on. Marcao is putting pressure on the commander.

He wants the kid. Wants to know who both of them are with.

It's are starting to look ugly, I'm telling you.

You've got some explaining to do.

Act right away, stop messing about.

Put on your backpack.

Get my bag, now.

Let's just finish the job, shall we?

Get the girl and the kid and let's go, come on.

-That's not what we agreed. -What? Having regrets?

It's not that. Why didn't you wait for me where we agreed?

What the fuck?! You don't trust me?

Paulo, we know this whole business is tough for you...

but now we're going to finish it.

No. I don't want any confusion here in the building.

-Good morning. -Veronica!

Shut up! Hands on the wall!

Up against the wall! Hands on your heads!

Veronica, you don't know how to use that.

I just learned.

Against the wall. Against the wall!

Up against the wall. Hands on your heads.

Go over there. Over there.

Son of a bitch. Get over there.

Leandro!

Here. Over there.

You two, get inside!

Dumb teacher!

Dumb teacher's just dying to put a bullet in your face.

In the can, go on!

Throw me the car keys. The car keys, here.

You too, you clown! The car keys!

Close the door! Close the door!

Keep still!

Out. Go to the door!

Come on! Get out!

My bag. Come on, hold my arm. Hurry!

This way.

Stop!

Go, go.

Veronica!

Come on! Come on!

No, turn that off! Turn it off!

It's great. You can keep the change. Thanks.

It's not the best place in the world...

but it's all we have right now.

It's okay.

Hey! Stay away from that window, get away.

Can I watch TV?

Yeah.

Nice?

Yeah.

You going to answer?

-Hello? -Veronica.

We want to talk to you. All right?

All right.

Tomorrow morning. Ten o'clock. At the bakery. Next to the precinct.

Tomorrow morning. Ten o'clock. At the bakery. Next to the precinct.

Leandro.

I'm going out, okay? Now you listen carefully.

You see the small hand?

If I don't come back to fetch you...

before this hand gets to the one, you go to Selma's place.

Understand? Here.

Come here.

You're to take a taxi, okay?

You give this piece of paper to the driver and tell him to...

take you to this address. Understand?

Then you give this note to Selma. Did you get everything?

Right, so when the small hand gets to one...

if I don't show up, what do you do?

Go to Selma's.

Now sit down.

Don't touch that, okay?

Listen.

No answering the phone, nor the door, not to anyone.

Veronica!

Lock the door!

-How are things, Veronica? -Okay.

Let's go.

Turn round.

Turn.

Turn where?

Easy. Open your bag.

-I'll have that. -Keep it, it's your buddy's.

-Give it back to him. -You're upset, aren't you?

No, I'm fine. Thanks.

You can come now, she's here.

-Who is it? -Housemaid!

-You alone? -Yeah.

Don't you want me to make up the room?

No!

-How are you, Veronica? -All right, Colonel?

Want some coffee? Water?

No thanks.

Our meeting like this is slightly out of the ordinary, isn't it?

Yeah, a little.

Where's the kid?

A safe place.

You bring the tape?

No.

I've got a whole pile of cash here, Veronica.

Enough to change your life.

But you won't hand over the kid nor the tape.

Colonel, I don't want money.

I don't want anything.

I just want to get out of town safely with the boy.

Tell your guys to stop following me. Just let me go.

If I get away, these pictures will never be seen.

All right, Veronica.

If you do as I say, no one will come after you.

But if you fuck with me, you can be sure, we'll come and find you.

Even if that means going to last hellhole on earth.

Go away.

Pull up for a moment, will you?

Just while I check the address.

You can stop outside that hotel over there.

Anywhere there's fine.

That'll be sixteen, please.

-Keep the change. Thanks. -Thanks.

Leandro! Leandro!

-Let me go! -Keep still! Want to die now?

-I don't have anything! -Easy!

The fucking bitch is out of line!

-Take it easy! -Right out of line!

Fucking bitch!

-Where are we going? Fuck! -Stop that woman! Stop her!

Stay still you fucking bitch! I'll blow your brains out!

-We're here. -Paulo!

Get out!

Stop!

Selma, I'll look after him.

Grab the kid, get in the car and let's get out of here.

Get out of here!

Get in!

What law is this that prevents a son from burying his murdered parents?

What law did I break in saving him from being murdered?

I know I'll be tried for running off with a child.

I don't care. I did it to save a life.

That's the law which guides me.

Now I'm going to fight so the guilty ones get as harsh a sentence as I did.

And the future, with Leandro, will be better.
