Only a life sacrifice
can redeem a failure.

It has been 24 years
since I wrote that in my diary.

It was soon before
taking a train in Porto Alegre

bound for Rio de Janeiro.

My mission was to become
President of the Republic.

It was a long journey,
15 years as President.

I began as the leader of a revolution
that wanted to change Brazil.

I soon faced
two counterrevolutions.

Over a thousand people died,
7,000 opposition members arrested,

many of them were tortured.

I was a dictator.

I faced it all,
and I don't regret by no means,

censoring the newspapers,
shutting down the Congress

and canceling
the presidential elections.

I've always governed
for the people

and I felt loved by them.

It was due
to the worker protection laws,

the minimum wage,
the paid holidays.

I was overthrown by the military.

Yes, the same ones
that once supported me.

I lived for five years in exile
and solitude, and I came back.

I came back
through direct elections

to become once again
the President of Brazil.

I defeated Mr. Eduardo Games,
General Air Force Chief of Staff.

The opposition tried to overthrow me
through on impeachment process,

but they didn't succeed.

I approved in the Congress
the State control over the oil.

Petrobras.

In the last months of my life,

my administration was severely
accused of corruption.

Severely.

The Army and the Air Force
were dissatisfied.

They wanted to seize power.
It was election year, so...

The journalist Carlos Lacerda

would daily vilify me
and my family.

I was his number one enemy.

INSPIRED BY REAL EVENTS

PRESIDENTIAL PALACE
Rio de Janeiro, August 5th, 1954.

- Dad, look at this!
- Come on, do as I say.

Get inside the building!
Go!

Come on, go, go!

A murder attempt?

I want to speak with
General Caiado immediately.

Send for him.

There's only one man
behind this crime.

He's the protector of the thieves

and the certainty of impunity
gives him the audacity for such acts.

This man has a name
and an address,

he's Getulio Vargas

and he's sitting on the chair
of President of this country!

Mr. Lacerda, was the Major
under duty for the Air Force

or was he working
as your body guard?

Do you carry a gun?

Was it a murder attempt?

The murdered Major
was only 32 years old.

He left a widow and four children
deeply saddened.

By the honor of the Air Force

I declare that this crime
will not go without punishment.

General Eduardo Games,

the target was the Major
or the journalist Carlos Lacerda?

General Eduardo Games,

Dad, the election for representatives
will be held in three months.

Lacerda, posing as victim,
will be elected.

This is a scam.

No one puts a cast
on a bullet wound.

Dad, I'm a doctor.

If a .45 caliber bullet hit
Lacerda's foot, it'd amputated.

Lacerda was armed.

The police tried to collect the gun,
but he refused to turn it in.

Even the chief of police
insinuated that he might have

shot the Major by accident,
or even his own foot.

I heard he was angry.

At least the chief of police
is doing his job.

The guy only told me
to stay inside the cab.

Then many shots were fired,

he came in
and told me to step on it.

I was confused and afraid.

And where is your cabstand?

At Silveira Martins street,
in Catete.

The cabstand is right here
next to the Presidential Palace?

Yes, sir.

I spoke with the police commissioner
and he assured me

it was only one cab
and one gunman.

Did you send for me,
Mr. Getulio?

You obviously know someone killed
Air Force Major Rubens Vaz.

The gun caliber is the same
used by my personal guard.

- Isn't it true, Gregorio?
- Yes, sir.

Is anyone in the Guard
involved in this crime?

By no means, sir.

I control the Guard
and I doubt I've been betrayed.

None of them would've done
anything without asking me.

Getulio Vargas,
corrupt President!

Do you want me to disperse it?

I want to know
who is behind this crime.

Did you lose confidence in me,
Mr. Getulio?

This shot in Lacerda's foot
hit the back of my government.

You can go, Gregorio.

Does my brother know
you came after me?

No, he doesn't.

Mr. Benjamin,

Lacerda shouldn't treat
the President

as a crook.
It's not right.

I'll tell you one thing

as a confession
to a father or a priest.

I have to keep
this secret to myself.

Oh, Dad.
It's amazing

you haven't learned
something so simple in your age.

And you are very rude.

Did you hear what happened?

- Gregorio told me on the trip.
- What trip, brother?

The trip from Petropolis.
Didn't you tell him to get me?

I sent Fittipaldi, not Gregorio.

Yes, but it was Gregorio
who reached me on the road.

A name of someone
in my Guard came up.

Climério.
Do you know who he is?

Gregorio told me he was
my subordinate in 32.

They say he was very devoted,
but I don't remember him.

You helped to choose the Guard.

Shouldn't you know who he is?

It's almost impossible
that Gregorio is not involved.

Yes. I share the same opinion.

Climério Euribes de Almeida,
detective 763,

member
of the Presidential Guard,

stationed here
in the Presidential Palace.

This man was accused
by the cabdriver

as a participant in the murder.

Gregorio, what was a member
of the Presidential Guard

doing at Tonelero street,
in front of Lacerda's house?

This Climério
is not of my trust.

If you don't trust him,

why is he on the Guard
you command?

General, I'd never do anything
to harm the President.

Gregorio,
telephone now to this Climério

and have him come immediately.

- Good evening, General Zenébio.
- Good evening to whom, Gregorio?

One moment, please.

Mr. Getulio,
Climério is not at home

and Gregorio told us
he doesn't know where he went.

How come?

Mr. President, Gregorio
contradicted himself.

At first he declared he had no
association with Climério.

But later we discovered

that Gregorio is the godfather
of Climério's son.

Major...

Major, tell Gregorio
he's forbidden to leave the Palace.

- Now, now!
- Mr. President,

the dead Major's
colleagues are blaming you.

They had a huge meeting...

Did you lose control
over the situation, Minister?

If I was there,
this would've been dealt with.

General,
it's not a matter of command,

it's about picking the right
strategy to calm people down.

Mr. President, maybe the Army
should arrest some people

to show that the situation
is under control.

Easy.
We need to arrest the culprits.

And even if a member of the Guard
is involved,

we need to make it clear

that the government
has nothing to do with this.

Boss,

- we need to take action...
- Daughter...

General,
dissolve the Guard immediately.

This may seem like
an admission of guilty.

It doesn't matter.

And you can arrest anyone here
involved with this crime.

Gregorio's order
is for you to disappear.

I just want to know
whether I'm under arrest.

Was it
Mr. Getulio's order?

Did you talk to him about it?

I can't tell him.
I'm not a squealer

and I don't want to increase
my brother's suffering.

You're the one who has to talk.

I don't have to talk.
I don't know what to say.

Thank you.

Mr. Getulio Vargas is no longer
a legitimate authority

ever since they found out
that one of his men

may be responsible
for the Tonelero street attack.

Getulio Vargas has been ousted.

Vargas has been morally ousted
by his own hands.

Mr. President, I urge you
with my heart open;

give up the power if you want
to be respected as a human being,

since you've lost the right
to serve as chief of government.

Won't your mom come to dinner?
Thank you.

She'll eat in her room,
she's exhausted from the funeral.

I wasn't aware
your mother-in-law was that sick.

- What about your husband?
- He's conformed.

D. Alice's death
was a relief in one hand,

because she's been sick
for a while.

The girls are in shock.

They now make questions
about death.

Where will we go after we die?

What do we do?
Can you imagine this?

If they'll meet me after we die.

It shall pass.

Did you know
that my Presidential Guard

has more than 80 men?
80!

- You didn't know?
- No. Of course not.

Those around me
are always the same,

and they're no more
than 15 or 20.

I believe resigning

is the best way
to calm people down.

That's absurd, Dad.

If you resign,
the people will make a revolution.

Won't you eat, Dad?

The meat in my hometown,
Sao Borja, is better.

I'd like to read
a statement signed

by President Getulio Vargas

in which he declares,
and I quote:

“Until now, I considered
Carlos Lacerda my worst enemy,

but now he's the second worst.

My number one enemy, the one who
caused most harm to my administration,

is the man who attempted
against his life.”

Removal from office,
leave of absence, resignation

are common things
in democratic countries.

They've been used many times
and are often a remedy

for political misconducts
that have no remedy.

Resign!

But that's not the will
of our President.

His Excellency
is fond of the power.

Don't be fooled congressman,

there are many evidences,
the President is guilty.

- And where are the evidences?
- In the newspaper facts.

The newspapers have always
ridiculed the President.

But it never affected Getulio,

he won't resign.
He's planning a new coup.

- That's impossible.
- Getulio has the spirit of a dictator.

He's incompatible
with the democratic regime.

Are you crazy?

We are a democracy, congressman.

Getulio was elected
by the people,

and new elections
have already been scheduled.

Do you really believe that a man

who tortured his opponents

will suddenly take no action?

Congressman, dictators
are like bad characters.

They only change
when it's convenient.

I can wait here.

Lieutenant,
if you tell me what you want,

maybe the President
will receive you.

I can't, Major,
it's a personal matter. Thank you.

There are strong evidences that the
Guard's Secretary, Joao Valente,

may be involved.

If we start
a military investigation,

we can arrest him
for as long as we want.

They're turning a corpse
into a campaigner.

The Air Force wants this
investigation to use the dead Major

to elect more representatives.

And who does the Air Force
want to command the investigation?

Mr. Getulio,
it's better not to do it.

The name has to be
approved by you.

The Air Force knows it can only
be done with your approval.

I want them
to investigate everything,

no matter the consequences.
I'm not afraid.

Tell them I ordered it.

Minister, I've been with
Vice-President Café Filho

and he refuses to do anything
to be empowered as President.

That convinced me to come here
to propose to you

overthrowing Getulio Vargas.

Getulio is not involved
in this crime.

I won't betray the President.

Let me remind you,

I'm the President's
Defense Minister.

General,
your choice is very clear.

You either betray the President,
or you'll betray your country.

Did you know that
thousands of people

are provoking a turmoil downtown
as we speak?

People who attended
the 7th day mass for the Major

then marched to Cinelandia
breaking everything.

Do you understand what
you're doing to the country?

This is a consequence
of people's dissatisfaction.

Of course the conflict exists

because you're failing
in your duties.

If you want,
I can end the turmoil.

You just need
to authorize me to say

you'll invite
the President to resign.

This is absurd!

I don't authorize you
to do anything!

GETULIO IS A GHOST
THAT DOESN'T GOVERN ANYMORE

THE FARCE OF THE RULERS
HAVE BEGUN

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN BAHIA
IN FAVOR OF THE RESIGNATION

THE ARMED FORCES REPEL
INVITATION TO A COUP D'ETAT

My brother called from Rome.

He heard about the attack
and is worried.

Your brother's honeymoon
never ends.

And I've never
even left South America.

Dad, it's not because
of the lack of opportunities.

Will you bring
my sunglasses, please?

Have you talked to Mom today?

I've been in her room,
but I didn't find her.

And when is your brother
finally returning?

- He's about to come back.
- Great.

That's good. He'll arrive
on time for my funeral.

Oh, Dad...
How silly.

Let's go, dear.

The police identified
who shot the Major.

He's called Alcino. It seems he's
really associated with Climério.

If they prove the involvement

of a member of the Guard,

Lacerda and the Air Force General
will try to overthrow the government.

An Air Force General and a journalist
who's a congress candidate

can't overthrow
the President of the Republic.

Brother, you have to take action

and get rid of this bastards.

Thank you.

- Hello, Darcy.
- Hi.

- I'm on my way to Belo Horizonte.
- I know.

Getulio...

- have a nice trip.
- Thank you.

I'll be back
the day after tomorrow.

- Hi, Mom...
- Hi, honey.

- Resignation!
- Resignation!

The President must resign.

His men were the ones
who killed the Major.

- Enough!
- Easy,

The police must present
the evidences.

Gentlemen,
the Constitution still stands.

- Resignation!
- Resignation!

Alcino Joao do Nascimento.

I killed the Major because
he jumped me and held my gun.

But the order
was to kill Mr. Lacerda.

And who ordered it?

I asked you a question.

- Good night.
- Good Night.

Where's my Key?

Check the other pocket.

Did you find it?

Let's go this way,
I have the garage key.

- Watch out, Dad!
- Sérgio, do as I say!

Get inside the building!

No.

I'll be right there.

Excuse me.

Workers of Brazil...

while I plant industries

for the economic emancipation
of the country...

my opponents plant
disorder on the streets.

But I won't allow

them to lead
the country to chaos.

Justice will fulfill its duty
with independence,

and the people,
in the next elections,

will freely express their will.

"Viva Getulio!"

Welcome, Mr. President.

Hi, Tancredo.

They've arrested that Alcino.

He confessed killing the Major,

but there's something
even more worrying.

Tell me.

The prisoner accused Lutero.

Alcino declared that the one
who ordered killing Lacerda

was Lutero Vargas, your son.

The murderer was arrested.
Do you have anything to say?

Only one question, Mr. President!

Father,
I have nothing to do with this.

Lacerda accuses me of everything
in his newspaper.

But I know that
any act against him

would be blamed on you.

I imagined that,
but I had to hear it from you.

I'll testify at the Galeao Airbase.

I'll give up
my parliamentary immunity.

If they can prove I'm guilty
let them arrest me,

but they won't have.

Come here.

Do whatever it takes, son.

But I need to find out
who plotted against you.

Go.

Attention!
We just received the news

that the suspects of the attack
that killed Major Vaz

are being questioned
at the Galeao Airbase.

Anytime soon, the officials
in charge of the investigation

may disclose details about
the mastermind behind the crime.

Mr. Joao Valente,
what about the money?

Do you know the source
of the money given to you

by your boss Gregorio Fortunato?

The money was intended to fund
a congressman's political campaign.

What did you do with this money?

I gave it to Soares.

Mr. Soares, what did you do
with the money you received

from the Guard's Secretary?

Part of it I gave to Climério,
the other I gave to Alcino.

The gunman, Alcino, states
that you provided the weapon.

Do you confirm that?

Climério,
who ordered the killing?

The authorization came
from chief Gregorio,

he's my boss in the Guard.

Sir,
I work for the Vargas family

for more than years.
And the Lieutenant does too.

Are you trying to say
the Vargas gave the order?

No, sir, I'm not.

Is anyone above
Lieutenant Gregorio involved?

These people say I'm dirty
and the 'Gregorios' are dirty.

But if I had done the dirty job
for the white people in the Air Force

and told
all the lies they wanted

about President Vargas,

these people who are now
blaming the Gregorios

would declare I wasn't guilty.

They'd say I am a saint,
an angel.

They would even call me
a black man with a white soul.

The “Black Angel” Gregorio Fortunato,
Chief of the Presidential Guard,

the Guard's Secretary
Joao Valente,

the member of the Guard
Climério,

the contractor Soares,
and the gunman Alcino

were all under the command
of only one boss.

Before God,
I accuse only one man

for the killing
of the Air Force Major

and for the shot I took.

This man is the President
of the Republic, Getulio Vargas.

Finally.

For the first time
a Vargas is here to visit me.

I didn't come as a friend because
you accused me of ordering the crime.

I've read your confession.

I came to hear the truth.

You're not stupid.

Who paid you
to do such stupidity?

I don't know about anything,
Mr. Lutero.

I was drugged by the Air Force

to sign this testimony.

They threw me out of the plane,
they threatened me.

Who paid you to do that?

Is it true that Gregorio
is responsible for the attack?

Everything indicates that.

- And you knew about that?
- I'm old, but I'm not stupid.

Of course I didn't know.

What are we going to do?

I don't know.

But you don't have to worry.

Let's see how things evolve.

Zenébio said, in a meeting,

that I was resigning,
which is a lie.

Instead of uniting, he's dividing
us three military ministers.

He knows I won't allow
any maneuvers

and he wants to exclude me.

But I know, Mr. President,
that my post is in your hands.

General, you had a meeting,
didn't invite me

and told the officers
I was resigning.

To whom I asked my resignation?
To you?

Easy, Minister. I didn't say that.
I was misinterpreted.

What did you want to say?

You're very nervous, Nero.

Don't try to sugar coat it.
You're a liar.

You'd better go home.

Are you calling me a traitor?

But you don't do anything

to end that subversion
in the Air Force.

You let Eduardo Gomes
rule that Ministry.

In a crisis like this
if we're not working together

it's because you're taking
isolated decisions,

- acting as you wish.
- Stop it, Nero.

Minister, let me tell you.
You've either lost your authority,

or you've never had it.
Excuse me.

Is that why you invited
my officers to your house?

To talk about the problems
of the Air Force?

Stop it.
You're making things worse.

I know when
it's time for me to leave.

Excuse me.

D. Alzira, please.

So...

Have you decided who will be
the new Air Force Minister?

Nero Moura is loyal,
but he has no authority.

I'd like him to stay,
but I can't.

I can't believe
Gregorio acted on his own.

He doesn't accuse anyone,

- doesn't mention a mentor.
- It's not possible!

- Mr. Getulio...
- What?

- Will you have dessert?
- Not today. A cigar please.

Easy, Dad.

You know the accusation
against Lutero was withdrawn.

The gunman's wife confessed

she was induced to accuse
the President's son.

Gregorio went mad.

He doesn't realize
he's incriminating all of us.

I can't believe he did
such stupidity against me!

Easy, Dad.

“To the wrath of my enemies.

I leave the legacy of my death.”

I want you to help me
with this speech.

I want to mention
the exploitation of the people.

It has to be very incisive,

as the moment requires.

Yes, it's good.

It's good, Getulio.
Very good.

I'm ready to resist, my friend.

But I don't know
how far they can go.

I don't believe
things will go that far.

I've written other documents
like that before.

It's part of my life,

but I can tell you one thing.

If they force
their entrance here,

I'll respond accordingly,
Maciel.

We've been in worse situations

and it worked out
well in the end.

Maciel, Maciel...

I like your optimism.
I like it.

They checked everything.

They went through Gregorio's closets
in his room here in the Palace.

Bribing of government officials

in order
to obtain import licenses

worth 13 million dollars.

Employees transfer requests
and protection

signed by high profile
political personalities.

Illegal gambling lords giving
money to the Presidential Guard.

It's a lot of money
under the radar, Mr. Getulio.

Even Lieutenant Gregorio's wife

has a firm worth
2 million cruzeiros.

D. Juracy
rides in an official car,

has a personal secretary

and receives a salary
as a Post Office employee.

Of course she has no clue

where the Post Office is.

What about the mentor?

Nothing for now.

But Gregorio is still
under interrogation.

Excuse me.

Lieutenant Gregorio, even
the President's brother fled,

so don't try to play hero.

Your friends abandoned you.

BENJAMIN VARGAS
FLEES TO MONTEVIDEO

Benjamin Vargas has fled?

This newspaper copy
is the only print.

Lacerda's people made it.
It's fake.

It's just to make
Gregorio squeal.

Come on, Gregorio.
Since you don't want to talk

about the attack
against Lacerda...

explain to me how you got
the money to buy a ranch?

How come the Chief

of the Presidential Guard,

with a monthly wage
of 15,000 cruzeiros

could have large sums of money,

enough to buy for 3 million,

2.6 million paid in advance,
a ranch from

Mr. Manoel Vargas,
the President's son.

How did he get so much money?

It makes no sense.

The newspapers are after me.

- That's a false document.
- Father...

What ranch did my brother
sell to Gregorio?

“Maneco” was in charge
of selling Ranch S50 Manoel.

This was last year.

Maneco didn't mention to you
he sold the ranch to Gregorio?

I'll call my brother.

I want to know about this.

D. Alzira, please,
we need to be prudent.

The Major's death
is being clarified

and they have nothing
against the President.

This is very serious.

You can leave, General.

Excuse me.

D. Alzira,
I need to talk to you.

Someone nosy was cleaning
the president's office

when he found this on his desk.

What do you think?

What is it?

What happened?

What are you doing here?

It's about this...

“To the wrath of my enemies
I leave the legacy of my death.”

Where did you find that?

On your office desk,
along with other papers.

Who told you to snoop around?

Who told you to leave
notes like this within reach?

It's not what you're thinking.

They're just notes for a speech.

It's a manifest,
a resistance document.

Nothing more.

In my age you want me
to have a heart condition?

Don't be silly, Alzira.
What's that?

It's just for the event
of extreme necessity

in case the Palace
was invaded. That's it.

I'm not thinking about it.

I was scared.

Don't even think about it.

Dear, if I knew for sure
that my resignation

would bring ease
and that I would have absolute...

peace in my retiring days...

I would resign.

I am tired, exhausted,

too old to accept the injustices
intended to hurt me.

Don't worry.

Thank you, boss.

Not boss.

Daddy.

Daddy.

Now let me sleep.

Go, Alzira. Let me sleep.

MINORITY PARLIAMENT INSISTS
ON PRESIDENT'S RESIGNATION

GETULIO WANTS TO TEAR
YET ANOTHER CONSTITUTION

PALACE OFFICIALS WIN MILLIONS
IN OBSCURE DEALS

Getulio Vargas,
have the courage to realize

that your government is today
a mix of mud and blood.

Pay attention to your Guard,

it's the subsoil
of a rotting society.

Take the final decision

a President must take.

Don't stay in power
if you're not worthy to exercise it.

Hello, Vice-President,

- are you here to take office?
- No, D. Alzira,

I'm very tired
and my heart is weak.

The information I have
is that the military officers

are pressuring their commandants

to put the troops on the streets
against the government.

- What do you suggest?
- They want you to resign

and me to take your place.

Well, Mr. President,
I have a different proposal.

Let's shake up the country
with an idea.

Since we were elected together,

let's resign together now.

A joint resignation?

Let's choose a politician
you trust, someone with good transit

between
government and opposition.

We resign together, then

an Air Force squad car comes
to arrest me.

Tell me what I need to know.
Who ordered it?

It was them.

Mr. Roberto Alves,
congressman Euvaldo Lodi,

congressman Danton Coelho,
and General Mendes de Moraes.

They've all said
I should bomb Lacerda.

One of them told me
I could buy some land

dig a well
and throw Lacerda's body.

What you're saying
changes everything.

Can you prove it?

They asked me
but I didn't accept.

I admit that I ordered
someone to follow Lacerda,

it was my decision.

What makes you think
you had autonomy to decide that.

Lacerda had to know
we were watching him.

Major, our intention
was not to kill anyone.

The crime was a setup,
I give you my word.

A setup done by whom?

The way things are,
the President is the one to blame.

Dad, you have too many

worries for a man of your age.

- Where does it hurt?
- Where is the heart?

Two fingers away
from the left nipple.

- Here?
- Right here.

Here?

Is that where it hurts?

I'm not sure, son.

This is the Air Force stance.

By now the President
knows about this document.

So when
the Air Force officers think

the President is no good,

they'll run a petition
among their friends

to overthrow the President.
Is that it?

We don't want a revolution.
We want order,

but what we have now
is disorder and turmoil.

The Air Force officers assure
their intention

to stay within order.

They consider
the recent national crisis

can only be
satisfactorily solved

with the President's resignation.

Mr. President, the Navy
also requests your resignation.

My suggestion
is to arrest the officers

that signed the petition
against the government.

The act of signing it implies

on a severe
disciplinary punishment.

We should also request
a state of siege.

When it arrives at the Congress,
the mood will change.

No...

That's not necessary.

The criminals were arrested,

the facts shall continue
to be investigated.

We shouldn't give
further excuses to the military.

There's no need to worry.

If the Air Force or the Navy
go beyond

a piece of paper,
I have the means to stop them.

So why don't you end
the meetings

of the Air Force and Navy clubs?

They're subversive movements
that need to be forbidden.

You don't do anything,
and after the Air Force manifest

came the Navy one,

so don't be surprised
if there's an Army one too.

I assure you, nothing will
come up from the Army.

As a matter of fact,
I'm the only man

who can't change
the Constitution.

I've already tore two of them.

I can't do that again.

But we need to trust
our Defense Minister.

The Armed Forces
are under control.

He won't do that.
I know him well.

He's my father, Tancredo.

But the President can't stand still
suffering from dictator's syndrome.

Half a dozen arrests
could end this.

He won't make use of force.

But it's a conspiracy, Alzira.

They're inducing the public opinion
to assure a coup d'etat.

My father was a dictator,
that was never a burden.

He won't act as a dictator now,

even if it costs his government.

The confirmation of the ranch sale
left him very depressed, Alzira.

You need to convince
your father to react.

I know, I know...

"I've given you my life.

Now I offer you...

my death.

I have nothing
else to offer you...

except my own blood."

"I take my first step
in the path of eternity."

You've exceeded the expectations.

All these years
have served you well.

Maciel, you know me very well.

No one knows anyone well,
Getulio.

My friend, I must confess...

I've been feeling very tired.

I've been longing my hometown,
S50 Borja,

I long the barbecue
and the yerba mate.

So why don't you take a plane,

leave all this behind and
go home to appease your longing?

I can't.

Not yet.
Everything has its own time...

Except death,

which seems
to always come suddenly.

Did you know that...

within 4 days, 24 on August

within 4 days...

my son Getulinho...

that kid would complete
37 years old?

It's been 11 years.
11 years since he died.

My God, 11 years.

Yes, 11 years.

Have you always known
Gregorio was involved?

Gregorio told me when he went
to get me in Petropolis.

But there was no point
in telling you.

Who told you there was no point?

I thought that the best thing
was not to tell you then.

Benjamin, this decision
should have been mine.

Mine.

You've betrayed me.

Those military are bastards.

They're using Gregorio
to plot a coup d'état.

- You can still react!
- The military act like military.

That's how they work.
I know them.

Benjamin,

I've been preparing for a war
and you decide to omit that.

Well... Honestly, with allies
like you I don't need enemies.

The Army overthrew him,

the people restored him,

the Army
will overthrow him again.

- There's no evidence against him.
- But there is against his government.

It's the same thing. The decision
was taken by his subordinates.

Gregorio has been
his guard dog for over 15 years,

ordering robberies and killings.

General, do you feel
personally responsible

for every action
taken by your subordinates?

I haven't chosen my subordinates,
the President did.

Getulio couldn't have let it
all happen under his nose.

You can bet Zenébio will resist.

This can turn into a civil war.

Zenébio has no other choice,

and he wouldn't be able to face
the rebellion of his subordinates.

This manifest
can only be disclosed

when we have enough signatures
to force the resignation.

General, you've always been
against the President.

Even when he created Petrobras,

you attacked him
saying it was absurd

to have State control
over the oil.

Gentlemen, is it right to force
the resignation of a President

only based
on ideological issues?

The issue is not ideology,
but public morality.

You don't realize

the level of corruption
in this government!

If you don't agree,
don't sign the document!

Gregorio's files stirred
the public opinion

more than the attack
against Lacerda.

I could have forbidden the police
to enter the Palace,

but I didn't.

I'm not afraid.

But it so happens that the facts
revealed by the files

were never contested
by the government.

People claim the one who
is most distant from the Palace

involved with this crime
was the cabdriver.

His cabstand was 50m from here
and he aided the murderer's escape.

I understand your actions,

but they don't want me
to preside the next elections.

They try to banish me from
the Palace as if I was a criminal.

But I didn't commit any crime.

Forget about your proposal.

I absolutely won't resign.

Due to the state of affairs

in some circles
people begin to admit

the option of a solution

through the transition
of the supreme power

to the Vice-President
of the Republic.

He's clueless!

He was elected because of you

and now plots against you
behind your back.

You need to answer immediately

clearly stating whether
you'll accept the resignation.

An accusation like that
doesn't deserve an answer.

I will not resign.

I won't be bashed out
of this government.

I won't be condescending

with thievery and murdering.

- Dad!
- I won't.

I'll stay as long as it takes

to defend my name.

There already
is a Generals' manifest.

They're gathering signatures
to force your resignation.

How many generals
signed the manifest?

Out of 80, 37 already signed it.

Mr. President,
Despite the late hour,

I suggest you summon
a ministerial meeting immediately.

It's important to decide
the future of the government.

- Are they all there?
- Yes.

I believe most part of the Army

is not willing to fight against
the Air Force and the Navy.

I'm in favor
of the armed resistance.

If General Zenébio concedes
me a troop, I'll arrest them.

I'll give you a troop

so you can go and arrest
General Eduardo Gomes.

Minister, some generals
are gathered at the Ministry

demanding the resignation.
Why don't you talk to them?

Admiral, I'm the one
responsible for the Army.

You can speak
for the Navy if you want.

I explicitly defend
the resignation.

I fear that an armed resistance

will create bloodshed.

So, Mr. President,

the decision is all yours.

I'm sorry, boss,
but I can't listen in silence.

General, you know well
that this is a cabinet rebellion.

The generals that signed
the manifest don't have troops.

The Military Village
remains loyal...

And without the Military Village
can anyone

incite a coup d'état
in this country?

Answer me.

I gathered this information
in the Military Village.

According
to the Minister's terms,

the resignation
is not spontaneous,

it's being imposed.
I choose resistance.

You can't passively accept
your subordinates indiscipline.

The Constitution
must be respected!

We'll place the troops
on the streets at any cost.

But don't blame me
for the consequences.

Since you gentlemen
don't decide...

I will decide.

My decision...

is that the military
ministers must keep the order

and the respect
to the Constitution.

Under these conditions
I'm willing to request a...

leave...

until the responsibilities
have been investigated.

Otherwise,

if they decide to impose violence
and it reaches the Palace...

they'll only take from here
my dead body.

Good night, gentlemen.

Getulio?

Getulio?

Getulio...

Well done!

We got it! We got it!

Here I am on the day
of the national redemption,

St. Bartholomew's day,

to declare that Getulio Vargas,
that coward,

is not on leave,
he's overthrown.

His place is in the Galeao Airbase
or exiled abroad

and he must rot in jail!

Getulio...

they're here.

A general tells me I have to go
to the Galeao Airbase.

What do I do?

They want to interrogate you
at the Airbase... at this hour? Why?

I don't know.
I fear it may be a trap

to get me out and arrest me.

Don't go.

If they want your testimony,
they can come here.

Dad.

Hi, daughter.

- You didn't go to sleep?
- I can sleep whenever I want.

Then leave and let me sleep.

Dad...

The Military Village remains loyal.

If you ask Zenébio, he'll command
an attack against the coup mongers.

If you give me the go,
I can call him on the phone.

The tanks go the streets,
solve the situation and that's it.

Dad, you don't even
have to get up.

When you wake up you'll be
the master of the situation.

Don't fool yourself, my daughter.

Zenébio will be minister
in the new government.

My Vice-President invited him.

Why didn't you tell me before?

Honey...

I've been in power
for so many years.

People almost never request
something for the country.

They always ask something
for someone.

Always.

Let me sleep, child.
I'm exhausted.

Everything ends the way it begins.

Gentlemen...

Zenébio announced the leave,

and when asked
if Getulio would come back,

he said that despite
the terms of the note

he heard some ministers saying

that the leave is permanent.

Did Zenébio say that?

His words were: “The leave is
'pro forma', he won't come back.”

My father won't resign.

I'm sure.

Benjamin, the President
must know about it immediately.

They didn't accept
the temporary leave.

Zenébio told the officers
that you wouldn't come back.

Does that mean I was overthrown?

I don't know.

I won't surrender alive.

Go.

Go see how things are going
and set the record straight.

Go, Benjamin.
Go.

Sure, I'll wait.

D. Alzira, did you see

- that the President woke up?
- I'll be right there.

General, any news
from the Ministry of Defense?

What?

Excuse me, Mr. President.

- Do you need anything?
- Close the door, please.

Yes, sir.

It can't be true!

It can't be!

Dad...
Dad...

To those who think
they've defeated me,

my answer is my victory.

I've been fighting
with all my heart

against the hatred, the infamy,

the calumny so that it would not
undermine my spirit.

I've given you my life,
now I offer you my death.

I don't fear anything.

I peacefully take my first step
in the path of eternity

and I leave life
to enter history.
