Original subtitles

Second Command, we've got eyes.

All clear so far, you may go on.

A woman opened up the window on the third floor.

That's 55 yards from patrol.

It seems there's someone else with her, Sarge.

There's a man, same window, seems suspicious.

He came back inside, Sarge.

He's back and holding something.

I think he's got a gun.

Do you confirm? Does he have a gun?

Unable to confirm, Sarge.

Tell them to pull back, Corporal.

Cpl. 07, do you copy?

If you do copy, pull back. Pull back, damn it!

The guy's armed, Corporal.

Son of a bitch, he's gonna shoot us.

He didn't do anything.

Why this?

Murderers!

INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS

A FEW DAYS LATER

The last thing I wanted was to go back to that place.

I was just a kid. I swore I'd never come back.

But I was the only one at BOPE who knew that people well.

I had no choice then.

Because of that shit that happened in the favela,

I was forced to follow the mission and face a past long buried.

But that was an important mission to me.

Either I'd solve the case,

or I'd have to face an incompetent justice.

For a mistake that could fuck with my life.

But the truth was I was already fucked a long time ago.

Our mission was to capture two punks hidden in the woods

accused of killing at least five women.

The first one was called Diana Gonçalves.

She got strangled with wire and then stabbed.

The second was a girl who was only 11.

Her body was found carbonized and decapitated.

A year ago, the third victim.

Severina Gonzaga was seven months pregnant.

The baby was found next to her.

The fourth victim, Ana Maria Torres. She was stabbed over a hundred times.

All of them had one thing in common: necrophilia signs.

They kill them and then rape them.

MACABRE

The last attack happened here, close to the waterfall.

One of the victims survived, she was stabbed.

-She's in the hospital. -What about the other ones?

These are the places where the other bodies were.

We'll trace a perimeter from here. And then start looking.

The community is talking about revenge, people are leaving their houses.

-Those who stay are armed. -What if we disarm them...

This will make things worse.

We must look confident in our mission.

-How can we do that, Sarge? -Killing the murderers already.

Rui. I'm the sheriff.

We spoke on the phone yesterday.

WANTED RAPIST MURDERERS

REWARD R$5,000

I'm really sorry for your loss, Moema.

We'll need your help.

To identify who did this to you.

Is that okay?

Was it them?

Let me go!

You can tell us, child.

Was it him, Moema?

Was there someone else with him?

You don't have to be afraid, Moema.

So his brother, Matias, wasn't with him?

-They were always together. -Sheriff.

Let her talk.

Boys.

I think she needs some rest now.

How are you, darling?

It's only natural that people are freaking out, son.

It's a very peaceful town with very humble people.

-You know that, don't you? -Did the boys go to church, Father?

They're not Catholic, are they? We tried to help.

Who's "we"?

Son, the boys' father, Tiăo,

has changed a lot since you left.

-Be careful around him. -You don't have to worry.

Looking at you all serious,

you remind me of your mom, Jussara, a lot.

Let's leave my mom out of this, Father.

It wasn't your fault, son.

-You were so little... -Father, I asked you a question.

Why don't you come to the mass?

People will like knowing that you're back.

-I'm not back. -All right.

You'll always be welcome at the Lord's house.

You must know that.

My children, the Devil has chosen

our community to manifest his evil.

He is here.

Not inside this house, he's out on the loose.

Behind a tree, around the corner of a road.

And what does he do to demonstrate his strength?

He kills.

He kills.

Only the Lord's words and faith

can give us strength when the Devil conspires against our community.

God's given me a mission.

To guide all of you against Satan's actions

Who is going to save us from the Devil?

I think you could talk to him.

I'll go.

Long time no see!

-How are you, Auntie? -I'm good.

-I haven't heard from you. -I've been working a lot.

I'm glad you came. Everyone is so scared.

Pass by the farm so we can talk calmly.

I've got to go. Your uncle is waiting for me.

The boys' parents, Father, they come to church?

They came here sometimes.

They wanted to get baptized.

But then they disappeared and never came back.

Their father, once stole a hen from my farm.

He cut its neck.

And he left it hanging from a tree,

so its blood would drain out.

Voodooist negro.

Their father abused them. They were really abused.

And then that happened.

What about the boys, Dora?

I haven't seen them in a long time.

But they've suffered too much with these people.

So did their father and all of their family.

-Too much humiliation. -They helped on the farm, you know?

The kids were hardworking.

What do you mean "they helped"?

They asked for something in return or they worked for free?

It's a pact with the Devil, Teobaldo.

The Devil is tempting them.

You don't have to arrest them, you should kill them.

Kill them.

People like to talk, but no one's ever helped them.

People here don't forgive.

Am I free to go?

Yes.

What do you think about this pact with the Devil stuff?

-There's no such thing. -Yeah, right.

If you ask me, God doesn't exist too.

Then why were all those people praying at a church like that?

It's really easy to explore people's fears.

You believe nothing, Sarge.

I believe there are good people and bad people.

What the fuck is this, Sarge?

-Hi, Mrs. Elisa. These are... -Where are my boys?

I'm Sergeant Teo. Corporals Everson and Pedro.

We're from the Military Special Ops, Mrs. Elisa.

Your kids are wanted, madam.

-Haven't you found them? -They don't live here with you, correct?

They're just kids, mister, they don't know what they're doing.

They're just kids.

-Ma'am, you must collaborate. -I don't know where they are!

I haven't seen my boys in a long time.

-How are you, Mr. Sebastiăo? -Kill them all!

Kill these Goddamned boys.

Ma'am...

Was your husband abusive to the kids?

Don't let them kill them.

We can keep it from here, Plínio.

-Are you sure, Lúcia? -It's fine.

-Always go together, okay? -Yes, Plínio.

Don't let her out of your sight.

-I got it. -I got it, I'm taking her.

-Have you checked if it's loaded? -Yeah, it is.

Go, otherwise you'll be too out of your way.

Wait...

I left no lights on.

-Let's leave, Lúcia. -Wait, Bene.

I must've forgotten.

-I'm scared. -Shush.

Come.

God is by our side, Bene. It's going to be fine.

Bene!

She was dragged here.

What if their father is involved?

Everyone's talking about him.

He drinks too much, I doubt it.

I've seen thugs kill by shooting, cutting into pieces, burning,

but I've never seen people kill like this.

There's no explanation.

There's an explanation for every death.

I swear I'm going to put a bullet in this son of a bitch's head.

Let's not contaminate the area, sheriff.

Have you examined the entire body?

Sheriff, please. Watch out for the body and the footprints.

Are you worried about footprints?

Everyone knows who did this, don't they?

The body's going to Rio to be examined, sheriff.

We'll keep investigating.

Corporal Pedro, isolate the area.

Sarge, with all due respect,

what you need to do is to put an end to these killers.

I tried shooting.

I did shoot, but...

There was no one. Then...

All of a sudden, he was there.

Looking like crazy.

Her head...

-Her head... -Lúcia.

-Benedita was my friend. -Who attacked her?

Inácio's turned into an animal.

Never seen like it.

-I've known him since he was a boy. -Was it just him?

It was the Devil.

The Devil turned him into an animal.

Maybe they attack separately, one victim at a time?

The footprints match. Same form, size, all of it.

-Seems like one. -So where's the brother?

Must be hidden.

Somewhere.

Moema only saw Inácio at the waterfall.

-The same with Lúcia. -The sheriff says it's both.

The sheriff says so, the priest says so.

Everyone says it's both of them.

-Have you realized something? -What?

There are almost no black people here.

There's Inácio, Matias, Tiăo, and Elisa.

And me.

And you.

I'll have a shot.

I know you helped them when they were kids, Dora.

Then they started stealing things at the farm.

They stole food.

They'd hide in the woods and then show up here.

Starving, like animals.

I had to help.

Did your father mistreat them?

No.

Are you sure?

I saw my dad beating them once.

But it was just once.

And you're not afraid?

They won't do anything to me.

I wish I could've talked to you properly at the church.

About what?

-Mom? -Not now, honey.

How many bad guys have you killed?

My work is not to kill, kid. It's to arrest.

Do you defend your mom with that thing?

I'll give you a tip, okay?

Keep it this way, so it's easier to draw it.

Give it a go.

All right?

Can I see your gun?

-Mine is not a toy. -My grandpa lets me.

Does it say BOPE?

Honey, go get your stuff so we can go.

-He can't read yet? -He's a little late.

People are terrified. Classes were suspended last Wednesday

because students teachers and moms

are afraid of being attacked.

Corporal Everson, copy.

What do you want, Baldo?

There's nothing for you here.

I'm not back because I wanted so.

-No? -No.

I want you to know that I didn't leave because I wanted either.

Sarge!

Yes, Corporal.

They just said they've found their hiding-place.

A woodsman found it.

Seems like it's been eaten, but there was no fire.

They ate it raw.

With no smoke so no one would see it.

Sarge... Blooded doll clothes.

The blood may belong to one of the victims.

-What about this? -Send it to the lab.

Yes, sir.

That's all voodoo, Sarge

Auntie, do you know anything about them that can help me?

People say they were abused.

I don't know much, Baldo.

They worked here for a while, right?

Yes, they did. But they were just kids.

Then we found out they were stealing things.

So the housekeeper made them go away.

-Really? -Yes.

Do you have any idea why they're doing this?

It's pure evil.

I remember Tiăo worked here for a while, right?

God, what a weird man.

It couldn't have been so bad, you got his sons to help.

What about the housekeeper?

How did he get the kids out of here?

-Did he beat them? -What is it, Baldo?

You don't know anything, show up here out of nowhere.

You keep asking dumb questions.

You think no one here knows about your problems in Rio?

You leave us alone, hear me?

I've kicked you out before.

Go back to Rio, dear.

It's better for everyone.

As soon as possible, Auntie.

Mom...

-Are you still up, baby? -I can't sleep.

Let's go to bed.

What happened?

Who was that policeman?

I've had an idea.

How do you feel about going to the circus?

Right?

Do you want me to stay here until you fall asleep?

-No? Okay. Good night. -Good night.

-Love you. -Love you.

A small town lives in fear amongst the hills of Rio state.

Two brothers have murdered 14 people and are hiding inside the woods

that go around the peaceful Nova Friburgo.

The crimes present barbaric details.

The people are armed and talking about revenge.

Sir, it's easy for these kids to hide out here.

They know the entire region.

-They grew up here. -So did you.

That's why I sent you there.

Both of them can't read and commit a crime

known as necrophilia, which is murder

followed by sexually abusing the corpse.

That guy was a slumdog and black.

Human Rights are pushing.

Get me those kids and I'll shelve this case for you.

Since they were kids, Ibrahim and Henrique

had to run away to escape from their father's beatings,

who always got home drunk.

But bring them alive and I'll hold things up.

-We have a deal, don't we? -We do, Colonel.

Come here, man.

-Did something happen, Sarge? -I'm going to Rio.

I want you in command for a few days.

I've got it.

Did they say something about the trial?

Not yet.

It's best we get these boys soon.

Shouldn't we ask for backup, Sarge?

Are you shitting me? I'll be exonerated.

-Then what the fuck do we do? -I'll be back real fast.

See if you can find something in the newspaper.

ANOTHER WOMAN KILLED BY THE NECROPHILE BROTHERS

REVOLTED PEOPLE AGAINST NECROPHILES ORGANIZE A PROTEST DOWNTOWN

NECROPHILES CAUSE PANIC: WHO WILL BE THE NEXT VICTIM?

MURDERED GIRL FOUND

NECROPHILE BROTHERS: AN EXAMPLE OF SOCIAL AND POLITICAL NEGLIGENCE

The holes on her back are from before the rape.

Before?

-So she wouldn't run away? -She wouldn't be able to run away.

By your examination, was it just one?

I can't tell.

But if it was, he must be pretty strong.

-Did these women know him? -Some of them did.

The sickle hit on her head is what caused her death.

But the most impressive thing is this...

She was already dead when he did this.

Sexual and violent perversion.

Maybe everyone's right.

I think these boys were abused when they were little.

It's quite possible.

In postmortem rape cases, they completely dominate the victim.

She will have nothing to say and will belong to him 100%.

There's also the exhibitionist desecrator factor.

I've heard about your mess at the community.

The body ended up here.

It was shitty.

Half an inch to the side and it wouldn't be as bad.

-Half an inch. -Yeah.

I have to consult the files of two minors.

First door to the right.

Inácio Ferreira.

Got here in March, 1991.

He was 14.

Death and rape of Rosa da Cunha Silva, declares himself guilty.

Doesn't interact with other inmates.

Went five times to the solitary for bad behavior.

Psychologist's opinion: undiagnosed disorders.

Signs of sexual abuse. Doesn't reply to questions.

Released when reached 18.

Matias Ferreira.

Rape and death of Rosa da Cunha Silva.

Declares himself innocent.

His brother, Inácio, takes the blame.

Good behavior.

Religious obsession. Always had a bible in his hands.

Psychologist's opinion: he's not a threat to society.

Released after a month.

FAMILIES ABANDON THEIR HOUSES AFRAID OF NECROPHILE BROTHERS

Why Matias didn't take the bible with him?

Do you know if someone visited them?

Or who picked Inácio up when he was released?

Ma'am, can you remember?

You ask too many questions, sir.

Hello?

Where?

My children...

He's said it, not me.

Clean the lepers.

Bring back the dead.

Banish the demons".

Banish the demons!

Who is this woman?

My mom, Corporal.

Sorry to ask.

How did she die?

She decided to take her own life.

I was raised by my aunt and uncle.

I'm really sorry, Uncle.

You know she was like a mother to me.

But I promise I...

Leave.

Get out of here.

Lower it, Corporal.

You'll have to kill me this time.

These killings seem more like a ritual.

Benedita's position.

If it were just about killing, they wouldn't do all that.

It's the same scarecrow position we found at the Ferreiras'.

I don't know...

She seems crucified. Check out my aunt's hands.

Seems like she's praying.

This is revenge.

They're taking out on the women of the men who mistreated them.

They have nothing to lose.

Sarge, come here.

I've found this on the newspaper.

Inácio and Matias were altar boys.

-We've got to interrogate him again. -For sure.

-You've got a call. -Not now, I'm busy.

It's Captain Jonas.

Fucking hell, hold this.

-Hello? -Hi, Teo. I'm sorry about your aunt.

-Thank you, Captain. -How the fuck did that happen?

I'm starting to understand their behavior.

Get them first, then understand.

Or do you want me to solve this too?

-I need more time. -There's no more time.

The press wants your head. And the governor wants mine.

Yes, sir.

The guy's armed, Corporal.

Son of a bitch, he's gonna shoot us.

Oh, my God! God, help me, please!

My husband...

You killed him! You killed my husband!

You murderers! Murderers!

-The priest won't say a thing, Sarge. -If we go after him...

Shit!

-Could you see who it was? -Seemed like your uncle's truck.

Should we go after them?

No, they were coming from Tiăo's house.

No, fuck, Everson, don't shoot!

Stop!

This must be Elisa.

Bring the camera here.

This is Tiăo.

Savagery took over this place, Corporal.

They've crossed the line.

Now the only black ones are the brothers and me.

Guys, from now on, Captain Dalmarco and I are taking over.

Our team now is made up of 250 men.

We're reforming the search strategy.

Let's distribute guns and ammo for the residents.

Let's take over abandoned houses so they're not used as shelter.

Put traps and poison on the food found in all abandoned farms.

Local police will investigate the deaths of the boys' parents.

Teo, I want a report with everything you know about this case. Was I clear?

Teo, what the fuck was that?

This is a mistake, Jonas.

Distributing weapons for these residents

will only increase chaos here and you know that.

No, my mistake was putting you on this mission.

Now Dalmarco and I give the orders.

You should thank me for not sending you back to Rio.

I'm protecting you.

Where were you yesterday at the time of the fire?

Why do you care?

So your car left there by itself?

I saw it.

Look.

I've always tried to help that voodooist family.

But they're all bad, all are the Devil's children.

What I want to know

is who killed Tiăo and Elisa.

Where were you?

Teobaldo, instead of blaming honest people,

you should hunt down those negroes.

Answer me, damn it!

I was here.

And you are going crazy, just like your mom!

Yeah, I'm going crazy.

Just like anyone who comes to this fucking town.

I'm glad I left.

I'm not angry at you. I'm ashamed.

All of this shit is your fault, you fucking racists!

Fuck! Hércules!

What happened?

I brought this to protect you.

What happened?

Your dad's going crazy, I asked for it.

Come in. Let's fix you.

I'm sorry about your mom.

I'm also sorry because...

I wanted to give you a hug.

But...

Does Diego know about me?

Your dad left me no choice, Dora.

-You didn't even try. -You were only 13.

I kept waiting for you.

I thought you'd come back to get me.

But then time went by.

And you? Did you get married?

Of course not.

When is this going to end?

I'm out of the mission.

-Are you leaving? -Listen.

I'm out of the mission.

Come to Rio with me.

Come with me. It'll be better for you and Diego.

Come.

I need to think about it.

I'll come back to get you.

Meanwhile, promise me you'll be careful.

You promise?

What do you think, Sarge?

Those bastards are teasing us.

Just because the battalion is in town

Fuck, Teo. Bar fight? Are you insane?

They set your trial. You're going back to Rio today.

It is gonna be hard to capture those boys, Corporal.

I didn't say anything about the cornfield, Sarge.

Don't let them take this board down.

You'll need it.

What about the priest, Sarge?

Put your fucking hands on your head!

-Easy, Baldo! -Leave, Father!

Get down! Hands on your head!

-Get in there. Where's your brother? -I don't know!

-Tell me! -I don't know!

-He doesn't know! -Close your goddamn mouth.

-Where's your brother? -I didn't do anything.

I didn't do anything!

Get in the car, Father.

-It's best if I stay, son. -Father. Get in the car.

Or would you rather be cuffed with him?

Was he the one who killed Antonio and raped you?

I was nervous.

I was scared.

Look again. Was it him?

-It was both. -What do you mean both?

Are you sure?

And where was the other one?

-On the rocks. Looking. -Moema, pay attention.

It's this boys' life, he might not have done anything.

What about Antônio Pedro's life? It doesn't count?

Don't worry, Moema. That one's already in jail.

Now the other one's left.

We're convicting a boy who might not have done anything.

-She's just recognized him. -She changed her story, Captain.

It's different. Lúcia only identified Inácio.

-You can't prove that. -No one can.

They won't rest until they find a culprit.

It's their families.

Who treated the boys like trash their whole lives.

They're monsters, Teo.

Keep walking.

Sit down, quick.

Since when was the priest hiding you there?

He was just helping me.

I didn't do anything. I was scared.

This kid's lying. The priest would never help a demon like him.

Father.

Come with me.

There's a crowd out there who wants to lynch a kid

who says he didn't kill anyone and that you knew it.

-Let me talk to him. -I already told you.

I'll say it again: I just wanted to help him.

I convinced him to turn himself in

and that's the truth. And God sees it all.

No one can run away from Divine Justice.

Where's the priest?

He said you only showed up, Matias.

-He says he's not protecting you. -You're lying.

-He didn't say that. -He did.

Matias, did the father do anything to you guys?

-Get him here. -He doesn't want to talk to you.

-No one out there wants to. -I didn't do anything.

You're black, poor, and dirty, do you think they'll believe you?

Where's Inácio?

You either say where he is or they'll kill you, what do you prefer?

You didn't say Matias and Inácio worked at the church.

May I ask why?

Those boys came from a difficult environment.

I tried to help them.

It was only for a short time and in vain, right?

What you were doing at the shack with Matias

is the same you do with the choir kids?

What are you implying, boy?

I've told you. I was trying to help them.

You should've let me finish the mission.

C'mon, Teo, no one knew the priest abused them.

Inácio is the one who's killing people.

Matias wasn't with him.

The crimes only happened again after Inácio left the facility.

How can you prove the brother wasn't with him?

I don't know. That's your problem now.

Keep doing it.

Diego...

-Lock the door. -Okay.

Fasten the latch, okay?

Diego!

Are you okay? Look at me.

Your mom, what did you see, my son?

Dora!

Dora!

Wake up, you son of a bitch. Now you'll talk!

Tell me!

Tell me! Tell me where your brother is!

-I don't know! -Like shit!

Tell me!

Tell me, goddamn it! Or I'll kill you!

You either tell me or I'll kill you, fuck!

-I don't know! -Like shit you don't!

Come with me.

-Where are we going, Sarge? -It's his say.

-This is ending badly. -Just drive.

Where's my son?

Where's Diego?

Where's Diego?

Where's my son?

It's here?

We used to hide here when we were kids.

Sarge! Check this out!

It's a track.

Please don't...

Forgive me.

Teo, don't do this.
