""Getulio" (2014)" "Top-notch quality subtitles:" "The Brazilians" "Only a life's sacrifice can mend the error of a failure." "It has been 24 years since I wrote this in my diary, right before taking the train from Porto Alegre to Rio de Janeiro." "My goal was to be president of the Republic." "It was a long journey." "15 years as president." "I started as the leader of a revolution, bent on changing Brazil." "I was soon faced with two counter-revolutions." "More than 1000 dead." "7000 opposition members arrested." "Many were tortured." "I was a dictator." "I faced everything head on, and I don't regret any of it." "Censoring the media, overpowering the Congress." "Canceling presidential elections." "I always ruled for the people." "And I felt loved by them." "I sanctioned Labor Laws, minimum wages, paid vacations." "I was deposed by the military, yes." "The same that supported me before." "I lived 5 years of exile and solitude, and then I came back." "I came back, now through direct elections to be Brazil's president again." "I defeated Brigadier Eduardo Gomes, leader of the Air Force." "The opposition tried to knock me down with an impeachment, but they weren't successful." "I sanctioned, through Congress, the State's petrol control." "Petrobras." "During the last months of my life, my government was seriously accused of corruption." "Seriously." "The Army and the Air Force were unsatisfied, they wanted power, it was an election year..." "Every day," "Carlos Lacerda, the journalist, would slander me and my family." "I was his number one enemy." "Inspired by a true story" "CATETE PALACE RIO, AUGUST 5th, 1954" " Dad, dad!" "Careful!" " Stay here!" "Let's go!" "Go, go, go!" "An attempt?" "I'd like to talk to General Caiado right now." "Go get him." "There's only one man responsible for this crime." "The protector of thieves, whose impunity gives him the audacity for such acts." "This man has a name and an address:" "Getulio Vargas, who is sitting on the presidential chair." "Was the major on Air Force duty, or was he your bodyguard?" "Mr. Lacerda, do you usually carry a gun?" "The murdered major was only 32 years old." "He left his widow and 4 children in a deep sadness." "By the honor of the Air Force, this crime will not go unpunished." "Was the target really the major or Lacerda, the journalist?" "Brigadier Gomes, what will the Air Force do about this?" "Daddy, the elections for representatives is in 3 months." "Lacerda, by playing the victim, is already elected." "This is a farce." "Nobody applies a cast on a bullet wound." "Father, I'm a doctor." "If a .45 caliber bullet had hit Lacerda's foot," " he'd have to amputate it." " He was armed." "The police wanted to get the gun and he refused to give it." "Even the commissioner implied he may have accidentally shot the major, or even his own foot." "I heard he got furious." "At least the head of police is doing his job." "He only told me to wait in the taxi, and then the gunshots started, everywhere." "The guy got in and told me to hit it." "I was confused, scared." "And where is your usual taxi spot?" "Silveira Martins Street, in the Catete region." "The driver works right next to the Palace?" "Yes, sir." "He was fired at by the guard who was chasing the criminal." "The driver denies being involved." "But the commissioner is skeptical." "Have you called me, dr." "Getulio?" "You obviously heard someone murdered" "Major Rubens Vaz, from the Air Force." "The weapon used is of the same caliber as those from my personal guard." " Isn't that right, Gregorio?" " It is, sir." "Is anyone from the guard involved in this crime?" "Absolutely not, dr." "Getulio." "I run the entire guard, and I don't believe I was betrayed." "None of them would do anything without asking me first." " Corrupt president..." " Shall I disperse them?" "I want to know who's behind this crime." "Have you lost your trust in me, dr." "Getulio?" "The shot fired at Lacerda's foot hit my government in the back." "You may go, Gregorio." "Does my brother know you came after me?" "No, he doesn't." "Dr. Benjamin..." "Lacerda couldn't keep treating the president like a criminal." "That's not right." "I'll tell you one thing:" "Who do you confess to, your father or your priest?" "Don't reveal this secret of mine to anyone." "Oh, daddy..." "It's unbelievable that, at your age, you still haven't learned something that simple." "You lack some manners." "Good..." "Have you heard what happened?" "Gregorio told me during the trip." " What trip, brother?" " I came from Petropolis." "Didn't you ask him to go get me?" "I asked someone else, not Gregorio." "But it was Gregorio who caught up with me." "A name of a man from my guard came up." "Climerio." "Do you know him?" "Yes, Gregorio told me this guy worked under me in 1932." "A very dedicated man, but I don't remember him." "You helped pick the members of the guard." "Shouldn't you know who he is?" "It's practically impossible that Gregorio isn't in the middle of this." "Yes." "I am of the same opinion." "Climerio Euribes de Almeida." "Investigator 763." "A personal guard of the president of the Republic." "Placed here, in Catete Palace." "This man was reported by the taxi driver as part of the assassination." "Gregorio, what was a president's personal guard doing in Toneleiro Street, in front of Carlos Lacerda's house?" "This Climerio guy is not in my trust." "If he isn't in your trust, how can he be in the guard you command?" "General, I'd never do anything that could harm the president." "Gregorio, call this Climerio right now and order him to come immediately to the Palace." " Good evening, General Zenobio." " For whom, Gregorio?" "One moment, please." "Dr. Getulio, Climerio's not home." "And Gregorio doesn't know where he is." " How come?" " Mr. President," "Gregorio contradicted himself on the talk we had." "At first, he stated he had no relations with Climerio." "Afterwards, we discovered that Gregorio is godfather to Climerio's son." "Major." "Major, tell Gregorio he is forbidden of leaving the Palace." " Now, go." " Mr. President, the dead major's colleagues are blaming you." "They started to..." "Have you lost control of the situation, Minister?" "NERO MOURA AIR FORCE MINISTER       If I was there, that would be easily dealt with." "General, it's not a matter of command." "It's a matter of choosing a strategy to calm them down." "GEN." "ZENOBIO DA COSTA WAR MINISTER       Mr. president, maybe the Army should arrest some of them, to show them we're handling the situation." "Easy." "It's the criminals who should be arrested." "Even if a guard member is involved, it is necessary to make it completely clear that the government has nothing to do with this." " Boss, we should do something." " My daughter..." "GEN." "CAIADO DE CASTRO CHIEF OF MILITARY CABINET       General, dismiss the entire guard immediately." "TANCREDO NEVES MINISTER OF JUSTICE       But dismissing the guard may seem like a confirmation of guilt." "That's not important." "And I allow the arrest of anyone in this Palace." "Gregorio's order is for you to disappear." "I just want to know if I'm arrested or not." "Was it dr." "Getulio's orders?" "Did you talk to him about it?" "I can't." "I'm not a whistleblower and I don't want to increase my brother's suffering." "You're the one who should tell him." "I have nothing to say." "I don't know what to say." "Thank you." "Mr. Getulio Vargas is no longer legitimate authority, ever since it's been known that his people may be the authors of the assassination attempt." "Getulio Vargas is now deposed." "Vargas is now morally deposed, by his own actions." "President, I wholeheartedly make you this immense appeal:" "Leave the command, if you still want to earn respect as a human creature, since you've lost the right to be accepted as head of government!" "Isn't your mother coming to dinner?" "Thank you." "She's having dinner in bed, she's exhausted from the wake." "I didn't know your mother-in-law was that ill." " And your husband?" " It's very hard for him." "Mrs. Alice's death, on one hand, was a relief, she had been very ill for a while." "It left a big impression on the girls." "Their new habit is to make questions about death." ""Where do we go when we die?"" ""What do we do there?" Can you imagine..." ""Will you be there when we die?"" "It will pass." "Did you know that my presidential guard has more than 80 men?" "Eighty." " You didn't know?" " No!" "Of course not." "The ones I see are always the same." "No more than 15 or 20." "I think resigning is the best solution to calm everyone down." "That's absurd, daddy." "If you resign, the people will revolt." "Aren't you going to eat, daddy?" "The meat from Sao Borja was better." "I would like to read a declaration signed by His Excellency, Getulio Vargas, where he states, quote:" ""So far I had considered Carlos Lacerda my main enemy, but now he is my number two enemy." "My main enemy, the one who did the most damage to my government," "REP." "GUSTAVO CAPANEMA GOVERNMENT PARTY LEADER       is the man who made an attempt on his life."" "Taking time away, taking a leave of absence, resigning, are things that occur in democratic countries." "It has been done many times, and are occasionally medicine" "REP." "AFONSO ARINOS OPPOSITION PARTY LEADER       to incurable political illnesses." "But that's not our president's will." "His Excellency has a taste for power." "Don't mix things up, representative." "The evidence is huge." " The president is guilty." " And where is this evidence?" " In the facts, the newspapers." " Newspapers are not facts." "This has never affected Getulio." "He won't resign." "He's planning a new coup." " That's impossible." " He has the soul of a dictator." "He's incompatible with a democratic regime." "Are you out of your mind?" "We're in a democracy!" "Getulio was elected by votes!" "And the new presidential election is already set." "You really think the man who chased and tortured the opposition, like he did, will suddenly become a numb man?" "Representative..." "A dictator is like a bad character." "Never changes, only goes on vacation." "I can wait, major." "Lieutenant, if you tell me what it's about, the president may see you earlier." "I can't, major." "It's a private matter." "Thank you." "There are strong indications that the guard secretary," "Joao Valente, may be involved in the crime." "If we open an inquiry, we can arrest him for as long as we want." "You're turning a corpse into political propaganda." "What the Air Force wants is to use the dead major to elect more representatives." "Who would you put as head of this inquiry?" "Dr. Getulio, it's better not to." "The nominee would have your approval." "The Air Force knows it can't be done without your authorization." "I want everything ascertained." "No matter who it hurts, I'm not afraid." "Tell them I gave the OK." "Minister, I was with the vice president, Cafe Filho." "He refuses to do anything that may lead him to presidency." "That attitude made me come here to offer you a proposal:" "The deposition of president Getulio Vargas." "Getulio is not involved in this crime." "I will not betray the president." "May I remind you, I'm the president's War Minister." "General, your options are very simple:" "You either betray the president or you betray your country." "Did you know that thousands of people are downtown, rioting, as we speak?" "People who were at the major's memorial and then went downtown wreaking havoc." "Do you see what you're doing with your country?" "That's consequence of the people's insatisfaction." "It is obvious this conflict exists because you're running away from your responsibilities." "I can go there and end it, if you want." "You need only authorize me to say that you will ask the president to resign." "That's an absurd!" "I won't give you any authorization!" "GETULIO IS A SPECTER THAT NO LONGER..." "THE IMPOSITION HAS BEGUN" "THOUSANDS IN BAHIA ARE FOR THE RESIGNATION" "ARMY REFUSES INVITATION TO THE coup" "My brother called from Rome." "He heard about the attempt, he's worried." "This honeymoon of his in Rome doesn't seem to end." "Meanwhile, I never left South America." "Oh, daddy." "You'll have plenty of opportunities." "Give my sunglasses, please." "Have you talked to mother today?" "I went to her bedroom, but she wasn't there." "That's good, after all." "When is he coming?" " He'll soon be back." " Great." "Even better." "He'll be here in time for my funeral." "Daddy, that's silly..." "Let's go, my darling." "The police identified the shooter." "His name is Alcino, an associate of Climerio, from the guard." "If they prove that a member of the guard was indeed involved," "Lacerda and the Brigadier will try to take down the government." "A brigadier and a representative candidate journalist cannot take down the president of the Republic." "Brother, you must take action." "Destroy these scumbags." "Thank you." " Hello, Darcy." " Hello." "I'm leaving for Belo Horizonte." "Yes, I know." "Getulio." " Have a good trip." " Thank you." "I'll be back the day after tomorrow." " Hello, mommy." " Hi, sweetheart." "Resign!" "The president must resign." "His men killed the major." "Calm down, the police must present evidence." "Gentlemen, the Constitution still stands." "Alcino Joao do Nascimento." "I killed the major because he jumped on me and held my gun." "But I was ordered to kill mr." "Lacerda." "Who gave the order?" "I made you a question." "The keys..." "Aren't they in your pocket?" "Did you find them?" "Let's get in through the garage..." " Dad, dad!" "Careful!" " Stay here!" "Do what I tell you, hurry up!" "Anything else?" "No." "I'm on my way." "Excuse me." "Workers of Brazil." "While I create factories for this country's economic emancipation," "my adversaries create disorder on the streets." "But I will not allow them to bring this country into chaos." "Justice will fulfill its duty with independence and the people, in the next election, will freely manifest its will." "Long live Getulio!" "Welcome, mr. president." "Hello, Tancredo." "They arrested that man, Alcino." "He confessed to shooting the major but there's something even more serious." "Tell me." "The prisoner implicated Lutero." "Alcino declared that the person who ordered the hit was Lutero Vargas, the president's son." "The assassin was arrested, anything to declare?" "Do you consider resigning?" "Is it true that..." "Mr. president, one question..." "I have nothing to do with this, father." "Lacerda accuses me of all sorts of things." "I've always wanted to, but I know any action against him would have consequences on you." "That's what I imagined, but I needed to hear it from you." "I'll give my statement in the Air Force HQ." "I'll wave my parliament immunity." "If there's any evidence, let them arrest me." "But there won't be." "Come here." "Do whatever is necessary, my son." "But I must know who prepared this whole thing against you." "Go." "Attention, attention." "This just in: the suspects involved in the attempt that victimized major Vaz are being interrogated in Galeao, the Air Force HQ." "In any time now, the officers in charge of the investigation shall reveal details regarding the mastermind of this heinous crime." "Mr. Joao Valente, what about the money?" "Where did the Cr$50,000.00 come from, that your boss, Gregorio, handed you?" "It was political money, to finance a representative." "What did you do with it?" "Who did you give it to?" "I gave it to Soares." "Mr. Soares, what did you do with the money you got?" "A part of it I gave to Climerio, the other to Alcino." "The shooter, Alcino, stated that you provided the weapon." "Do you confirm this?" "Climerio, who gave the order to kill?" "Lt. Gregorio authorized it." "He is my superior in the guard." "But, officer," "I work for the Vargas family for over 20 years." "So does the Lieutenant." "Are you trying to say the Vargas ordered the kill?" "No, sir." "I'm not saying that." "Someone higher than Gregorio is involved in this." "These people say I'm dirty." "And that all "Gregorios" are dirty." "But if I had done the mess that the white people from the Air Force wanted me to do, and told all the lies they wanted me to say about President Vargas..." "All these people that are dying to discriminate us "Gregorios"" "would be announcing that I was innocent." "That I was a saint, an angel." "They would even call me "black with a white mother"." "The dark angel, Gregorio Fortunato, head of the presidential guard." "The guard secretary, Joao Valente." "A member of the guard, Climerio." "the hirer, Soares." "And the shooter, Alcino." "All in service of a single boss." "Here, before God," "I accuse one man alone for the death of an Air Force major and for the bullet that hit me." "This man is the president of the Republic, Getulio Vargas." "Finally..." "For the first time, a Vargas came to visit." "Not as a friend." "You accused me of giving the order." "I read your confession." "I want to know the truth." "You're not stupid." "Who paid you to do such a stupid thing?" "I don't know anything, dr." "Lutero." "I was drugged by Air Force officials to sign a confession." "They put my body outside a plane, threatened to kill me." "Who paid you to do it?" "Is it true that Gregorio is responsible for the attempt?" "Everything points to that." "Did you know this?" "I'm old, but I'm not dumb." "Of course I didn't know." "What will we do?" "I don't know." "But you don't need to worry about it." "Let's leave it as it is, and see how it goes." "Zenobio mentioned, in a meeting, that I was just an errand boy." "Instead of uniting the three military ministers, he's dividing us." "He knows I won't agree with any kind of maneuver." "He wants to exclude me." "But I know, mr. president, that my position is in your hands." "General." "You assembled a meeting without me, and told all the officials I had resigned." "Who did I resign to?" "You?" "Minister, I didn't say that." "I was misinterpreted." " What did you mean, then?" " Nero, you're too nervous." "There's no point in hiding it." "You're a liar." " Go back home, Nero." " Are you calling me a traitor?" "You, of all people, who did nothing to end that Air Force subversion." "You allow Brig. Eduardo Campos to run that ministry." "In a crisis like this, if we are not working as a team it's because you are making isolate decisions." " Acting as you wish." " Stop, Nero..." "Let me make something clear." "You either lost your authority or you never had it." "Excuse me." "Is that why you've been inviting my officials to your house?" "To talk about Air Force problems?" "You're making things worse." "I know when it's time to leave." "Excuse me." "Mrs. Alzira, this way, please." "So..." "Have you decided who is the new Air Force minister?" "Nero Moura is faithful, but has no authority over his officials." "I wish he could stay, but it's just not possible." "It's impossible that Gregorio did all this on his own." "He won't accuse anyone." " No mastermind, or anything." " Impossible!" " Dr. Getulio?" " Yes?" "Would you care for dessert?" "Not today." "A cigar, please." "Calm down, father." "You know that the accusations against Lutero were withdrawn." "The shooter's wife confessed she was told to implicate the president's son." "Gregorio is out of his mind!" "Doesn't he realize he's implicating us all?" "How could he have done something so foolish against me?" "Calm down, father..." "I" "T" "I want you to help me with this speech." "I want something about the manipulation of the people." "It must be a very incisive text." "According to the seriousness of this moment." "Yes, it's good..." "Good, Getulio." "Very good." "I'm ready to resist, my friend." "But I don't know how far they're willing to go." "I don't believe things will get to this." "I've already written documents like those before." "It's been part of my life." "But I can tell you one thing:" "If they come in here by force," "I will respond in kind, Maciel." "We've been through worse than this and it all ended well." "Maciel, Maciel..." "I like that optimism of yours." "I do." "They've searched everything." "Everything, Gregorio's closet, his room, here in the Palace." "Bribes to government employees for obtaining import licenses, all worth 13 million dollars." "Requests for employee transfers and protection, signed by high-profile politicians." "Illegal lottery tickets, giving money to the presidential guard." "It's a lot of money under the covers, dr." "Getulio." "Even Lt. Gregorio's wife has a firm with a capital of Cr$2,000,000.00." "Mrs. Juraci." "She rides around in a government car, has a private secretary, and earns a salary as a postal worker." "Naturally, she has no idea where the post office is." "And the mastermind?" "Nothing so far." "But Gregorio is still under questioning." "Excuse me." "Lt. Gregorio, if even the president's brother ran away, you shouldn't be playing the hero." "Your friends abandoned you." "BENJAMIN VARGAS RUNS AWAY TO MONTEVIDEU" "Benjamin Vargas escaped?" "This newspaper is a single child of a single mother." "Lacerda's people made it." "It's a fake." "It's only for Gregorio to squeak." "Come on, Gregorio, if you don't want to talk about the attempt on Lacerda's life, tell me how you got the money to buy a farm." "How is it possible that the head of presidential guard, with an official salary of Cr$15,000.00, was able to have copious amounts in order to buy, with a total of 3 million, from which he paid 2.6 million in advance," "a farm, from mr." "Manoel Vargas, son of the president of the Republic." "How did he get such money?" "That's unfathomable." "It's abusive." "These newspapers persecute me." " That's a false document." " Father, what farm is this, that my brother sold to Gregorio?" "Manoel was in charge of selling the farm in Sao Manuel." "That was last year." "And he didn't mention that he had sold it to Gregorio?" "I'm calling my brother." "I want to know every bit about this." "Mrs. Alzira, please..." "We must be prudent." "The major's assassination is being solved." "In this case, there's nothing against the president." "This is very serious." "You're excused, general." "With your permission." "Mrs. Alzira, I need to talk to you." "By accident, while organizing the president's documents," "I found this on his cabinet." "What do you think?" "Hey, what is it?" "What happened?" "What..." "What are you doing here?" "It's about this." ""I leave to my enemies' wrath the legacy of my death"." "Where did you get this?" "It was on your cabinet." "With some other papers." "Why did you have to be so nosy?" "Why did you have to leave notes like this for a nosy person to see?" "It's not what you think it is." "Those are just notes, for a speech." "A letter, a resistance document." "At my age, are you trying to give me a heart attack?" "Don't be silly, Alzira!" "What is this?" "That's just in an extreme case, if our Palace is invaded, that's all." "Nothing more." "I'm not considering it." "I was scared." " Don't even think about it." " My daughter..." "If I was sure my resignation would bring tranquility and that I'd have an absolute tranquility for my peaceful days," "I would resign." "I've had enough." "I'm tired, too old to accept these injustices that are trying to get to me." "Rest your mind." "Thank you, boss." "Not "boss"." ""Daddy."" "Daddy." "Now, let me sleep." "Go, Alzira." "Leave me." ""THE PRESIDENT MUST RESIGN", THE MINORITIES INSIST." "GETULIO WANTS TO TEAR ANOTHER CONSTITUTION." "CATETE EMPLOYEES MAKE MILLIONS IN SHADY DEALS." "Getulio Vargas, have the courage to realize that your government is today an estuary of mud and blood." "Verify your personal guard." "It is the underground of a rotting society." "Take, at last, the deliberation, the last a president in your position can take, and don't remain in government if you're not worthy of it." "CAFE FILHO VICE PRESIDENT" "So, vice president?" " Did you come to take over?" " No, mrs." "Alzira." "I'm very tired, and with a weak heart." "The information I have is that the officials are pushing their military leaders to put the troops on the streets against the government." "What do you suggest?" "They want you to resign, so I can take your place." "Well, mr. president, I have a different proposition:" "Let's stir the country with my idea." "Since we were elected together, from the same party, let us resign together now." "A joint resign?" "We would choose someone you trust, someone in between government and opposition." "We resign together, and after that an Air Force patrol will come to take me out of the Palace under arrest?" "Tell me now what I need to know." "Who gave the command?" "It was them." "Dr. Roberto Alves, representative Euvaldo Lodi, representative Danton Coelho" "And Gen. Mendes de Moraes." "They all said I should bomb Lacerda." "One of them said I could buy a land on the road, dig a well, throw Lacerda's body in and then seal it." "Those things you're saying change everything." "Do you have evidence of this?" "They asked me, but I said no." "I confess, I had Lacerda followed." "That was my decision." "Since when do you have autonomy to do this?" "Lacerda had to know we were watching him." "Major, we didn't mean to kill anyone." "The crime was a set-up, you have my word." "Whose set-up?" "The way things look right now, the blame falls back on the president." "Dad, you're having too many concerns for a man your age." "Where's the pain?" "Where is the heart at?" "Two fingers from your left nipple." " Here?" " Right here." "Right here?" "Is that where it hurts?" "I'm not sure, my son." "That is where the Air Force stands." "By now, the president knows about this document." "So you're saying that when Air Force officials think the president is no longer useful, they make a manifest among friends to depose him." "Is that it?" "We don't want a revolution." "We want order." "And right now, there's only disorder and chaos." "The Air Force officials reaffirm their determination in remaining within the order." "I believe the current national crisis will only be fully resolved with the president's resignation." "Mr. President, the Navy also asks for your resignation." "My suggestion is the arrest of the officials who signed the manifest." "The mere fact that they signed is enough for an arrest, to vigorously discipline..." "We should also declare a state of siege." "As soon as this reaches Congress, everything changes." "No." "That won't be necessary." "The criminals are already arrested, the facts must still be... examined..." "We shouldn't give the military any more pretext." "We don't need to worry." "If the Air Force and the Navy go farther than a piece of paper, I have means to stop them." "So why don't you put an end to them?" "These are subversive maneuvers, they must be stopped." "If you don't do anything..." "After the Air Force manifest, a Navy manifest came." "Don't you be surprised if an Army manifest comes next." "I assure you, from the Army there will be no such thing." "Positively, the only man that can't touch this country's Constitution is me." "I've already torn two of them." "I can't do that again." "But, we need to trust in our War Minister." "The Armed Forces are under control." "Aren't they?" "He won't do that." "I know him well." "He's my father, Tancredo." "The president can't be paralyzed with a dictator's complex." "Half a dozen arrests will end this nonsense." "He won't use forceful measures." "But this is a conspiracy, Alzira." "They're inducing the public opinion to form a coup." "He was a dictator, that was never a problem." " Alzira..." " He won't act as if he were in a dictatorship." "Not even at his own government's cost." "The confirmation of the selling of that farm left him very weak." " Convince him to react..." " I know, I know..." "I know." "I know." "I" "N" "M" "T" "E" "...THE FIRST STEP" "T" "Yes." "Better than what I asked for." "All these years were good for at least one thing." "You know me too well, Maciel." "Nobody knows another person that well, Getulio." "My friend, I must confess that I..." "I've been very tired lately." "I miss Sao Borja, the barbecues, the tea from my land..." "So why don't you get on a plane, wrap this up, and go ease that suffering?" "No, I won't." "Not yet." "Everything has its time." "Except death, which seems to sneak up unannounced." "Did you know that... 4 days from now, August 24th..." "Yes, in 4 days..." "My son, Getulinho," "that kid would be 37 years old." "It has been 11 years." "11 years since he died." "My God, 11 years..." "Yes." "Eleven." "You always knew Gregorio was involved in this." "Gregorio told me when he caught up with me in Petropolis." "But there was no use in talking to you." "Who said that it would be no use?" "I thought that, at the time, the best would be for you not to know." "Benjamin, the only one who makes theses decisions is me." "Me." "What you did was a betrayal." "These military officials are scumbags." "They're using Gregorio to stage a coup." "You still have time to act!" "The military acts as the military should." "That's how they function." "I know from experience." "Benjamin... here I am, getting ready for war, and you bring me only silences." "Honestly, with allies like you," "I don't need any enemies." "First, the army deposed him." "Then the people deposed him." "Now the army will depose him again." "There isn't a single evidence against him." "But there is against his government." "That's the same thing." "The authors were people under his command." "Gregorio was his hound dog for over 15 years, ordering to kill and steal." "General, do you feel personally responsible for the acts of those under your command?" "I didn't choose the people under my command." "The president chose his." "Getulio shouldn't have allowed for all of this in his own home." "You do know that Zenobio will fight back." "This could turn into a civil war." "Zenobio has no choice." "He wouldn't be able to fight his commanders' insubordination." "This manifest can only be released when it has enough signatures to force the resignation." "General, you were always against the president." "Even when he created Petrobras, you attacked him." "You told him it was nonsense for the petrol to be in the State's hands." "For you, gentlemen, is it right to force a president's resignation," " because of ideological issues?" " It's not a matter of that." "It's a matter of public morality." "It's impossible not to see how corrupt this government has become." "If you don't agree with it, don't sign it." "Gregorio's files have swayed the public opinion much more than the attempt on Lacerda." "I could have forbidden the police from entering the Palace, but I didn't." "I'm not afraid." "The problem, Getulio, is that the facts those files revealed were not contested by the government." "The people say that the most distant person from Catete to be involved in this crime was the taxi driver." "His usual spot was 50 meters from here, he helped an assassin escape!" "I understand your attitude." "But what they want is for me not preside in the elections." "They try to expel me from here as if I were a criminal." "But I committed no crime." "Forget your proposition." "I shall not resign in any way." "Faced with the current state of things, in some circles it began to be admitted the possibility of a solution by transferring the supreme power to the vice president of the Republic."

" I will not." "I will stay as long as it takes to defend my name." "There already is a manifest from the Army generals." "They are harvesting signatures to force your resignation." "How many generals have already signed it?" "37 out of 80." "Mr. president, even though it's too late," "I suggest a ministry meeting must take place immediately." "We must make a decision about the government's future." " Have all of them arrived?" " Yes." "I believe most of the Army is not willing to fight the Air Force and the Navy." "I'm in favor of an armed resistance." "If Zenobio gives me troops I'll arrest them." "I'll give you the troops, you go there and arrest Brig. Eduardo Gomes." "Some generals have gathered, demanding a resignation." "Why don't you talk to them?" "Admiral, I'm the one who speaks for the Army here." "If you want to, speak for the Navy." "I openly defend the resignation." "I fear that an armed resistance, at this hour, may provoke bloodshed." "The decision, therefore, mr. president, is exclusively yours." "I'm sorry, boss, but I can't listen quietly to all of this." "General, you know this is a political conspiracy." "The generals who signed this manifest don't matter." "The military village obeys the government and the order." "Without the military village, can anyone stage a coup in this country?" "Answer me." "I obtained this information in the military village." "By the minister's terms, it isn't a willing resignation and because of that, I choose personal resistance." "You can't passively accept your subordinates' indiscipline." "The Constitution must be obeyed!" "Put the troops on the streets, no matter the cost." "But I won't be responsible for the consequences." "Well, since you gentlemen can't reach a decision," "I'll decide." "My commands are for the ministers to maintain the order and the respect to the Constitution." "In these conditions, I'm willing to ask for... a leave of absence." "Until everything is duly investigated." "On the other hand, if it reaches the point where violence is imposed and it reaches here," "you'll only take my dead body." "Good night, gentlemen." "Getulio..." "Getulio..." "Getulio." "Now we're talking." "No more corruption!" "Here I am, in this day of national redemption," "Saint Bartholomew's day, to declare that Getulio Vargas, this coward," "AUGUST 24th, 1954. 5 O' CLOCK is not on leave." "He is deposed!" "His rightful place is in the Air Force HQ or abroad." "And he shall rot in jail." "Getulio, they're here." "The general told me I must go to the Air Force HQ." "What do I do?" "They want you to go give a statement there," " this time of night?" "Why?" " I don't know." "It comes to mind that it may be a trap to get me out of here and arrest me." "No, don't go." "If they want your statement, they can get it here." "Father?" "My daughter..." "Haven't you gone to bed?" "I'll sleep when I feel like it." "Then go and let me sleep." " Father?" " Yes?" "The military village remains faithful." "If you ask Zenobio, he'll give orders against the traitors." "You give me the password," "I can call him." "Tanks hit the streets, reverse the situation, and it's done." "Father..." "You don't even need to get up." "When you wake up, you'll be the controller of the situation." "Don't kid yourself, my daughter." "Zenobio will be a minister in the new government." "My vice president invited him." "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" "Daughter..." "I've been in power for so many years, almost never has someone asked me something for the sake of the country." "They always ask me things for someone." "Always." "Let me sleep, darling." "I'm exhausted." "It all ends as it begins." "Gentlemen," "Zenobio told them about the leave of absence." "And when they asked if dr." "Getulio would be back, he responded that, despite the terms on the official note, he heard in conversations amongst ministers, that the leave is definitive." " Zenobio said that?" " His words were:" ""The leave is a formality, he will not return."" "My father won't resign." "I'm sure of it." "Benjamin, the president must hear of this immediately." "They didn't accept the temporary leave." "Zenobio told the officials you're not coming back." "Does that mean I'm deposed?" "I don't know." "I won't surrender alive." "Go." "Go see what's happening, get the facts straight." "Go, Benjamin." "Go." "I'll hold." "Mrs. Alzira, the president requested you." " I saw it." " Yes, madam." "General, any news from the meeting with the War Minister?" " What?" " Excuse me, mr. president." " Do you need anything?" " Close the door, please." "Yes, sir." "No... no..." "Daddy..." "Daddy..." "Dad!" "Dad..." "To those who think that they defeated me," "I respond with my victory." "I've been fighting with no armor."
