"Name?" "Juliano dos Santos." "Father's name?" "Don't know." "Mother's name?" "Georgina dos Santos." " Profession?" " Miner." "And before?" "Before that I was nothing." "I boxed for money." "It says here that you're some big shot." "Claim boss, gold smuggler, drug trafficker." "I'm a miner sir." "You ever kill anyone?" "You ever have anyone killed?" "Are you related with drug trafficking?" "And the guy in the hospital, he's in on the scheme too?" "No, he's my friend." "Serra Pelada breaks a new record in production." "The mine located in southern Para, where only last week the larges gold nugget found in Brazil for over 100 years, is going to extract over 7 thousand kilos of gold this year." "The gold from Serra Pelada reaches the Presedential Palace." "The two largest gold nuggets found in Brazil." "The largest weighs over 30 kilos and is worth over 370 million cruzeiros." "The nugget worth 16 million cruzeiros was put on exhibition today in Belem in Para." "It weighs 7 kilos 400 grams and was found last Sunday in Serra Pelada by miner Lindomar Natal." "The nugget is 86% solid gold and worth 16 million 149 thousand cruzeiros." "Technicians from the Federal Savings and Loans Bank confirm the information given by the Minister of Mining and Energy that this is the larges nugget" "But, why'd they fire you?" "What'd you do wrong?" "I didn't do anything." "They're cutting costs." "I wasn't tenured, I had to leave." "But, any way you look at it, it doesn't make any sense trying to get by on a public school teacher's wages." "I'm happy with you here, with the way we live." "Aren't you?" "That's not the question, Izabel." "This is our chance." "I'm talking of gold, real gold." "Any gold nugget I find is worth more than a whole year's salary." "I'm not going to stay here by myself, Joaquim." "No way." "You have a pregnant wife, house installments to pay, and you're going off, running after some illusion." "Izabel I grew up in poverty, and I don't want the same thing for my son." " You can find a better job." " No, I'm going to find gold." "AMAZON FOREST" "The world's going to end and we still won't have got to the fucking place." "Stop complaining Juliano." "This is the biggest gold mine ever found in Brazil." "But it sure is fucking far away." " Oh yeah?" "You wanta go back?" " Yeah." "Let's go Juliano." "It was easy for Juliano to leave São Paulo." "There was nothing there for him." "Just some debts and no options." "I left everything behind." "BEGINNING OF MINE" "Yeah professor, seems like everyone read that newspaper of yours and they all got the same idea." "If they all came, it's because there must be some truth in it Juliano." "The news of the gold spread through Brazil like wildfire." "In 10 days there were 30 miners." "In one month, over a thousand." "You understand what I was saying now big shot?" "I understand now." "You see the size of that thing?" "Let's go get ours." "In the beginning, the place was divided up in around three hundred claims." "Each claim had an owner, the CAPI TALIS T." "He was the one who financed the mine." "The claims were called "dAMES"." "And each dame had a king." "The Capitalists are king of the Mountain." "The middle-class at the mine is called "meia-praça"." "They act like they own the mine, but don't own jackshit." "They think they're the Capitalist's partner." "But, in the end, the only thing they do is work for him." "The last guy on the supply chain is the Ant." "Ant's spend their lives carrying bags on their backs." "30 kilos of dirt and mud." "When a Miner finds gold, he's called a "BAMBURRAdO"." "They're the lucky guys who find the gold everyone is talking about at Serra Pelada." "Lot's of guys struck it rich at the mines." "And a lot of stories about guys who made fortunes and then spent it all in one day." "Like José da Silva, who bought a different car for each day of the week." "And Caboclo, for example, when he struck it rich, he decided to hire a plane all for himself and went to Belem and the nightclubs." "Nego diamante never missed a night at the Tropical, one of the better known nightclubs in Marabá." "He loved to slap his money onto the dancers' asses." "What Nego couldn't imagine was that when Serra Pelada closed down, he'd be flat broke and that dancer over there... would become a successful businesswoman in the capital." "But things changed real quick at the mine." "I'm gonna hit China soon." " You miss São Paulo Juliano?" " Oh yeah." "Why don't you go back?" "You think I'm crazy?" "Your friend the loanshark is waiting for you." "Precisely why I don't go back." "Come on big shot." "Let's get to work..." " Hi." " Hi." "Everything OK?" " How's the rates today boss?" " They're good today." "400 grams." "Alright, I thought it was less." "Check to see if anything's missing." "Better check right here, if we have to complain..." "There'll be food, good grub with meat, a hammock, place to sleep..." "But, that's a lousy deal." "It ain't easy without a salary." "Yeah, but nobody's paying 2% around here." "Go look for yourself, nobody'll give you that." "But they'll guarantee you something at least." "But the other mines are paying 1% and we're paying 2%." "The double." "That's the way it's gonna be here." "Take it or leave it, you understand?" "Everybody will be happy when we find gold." "So?" "Let's get to work?" "Alright then." "OK." "And if it were up to me, we wouldn't be paying 2%." "It'd be 1, but the professor here is a communist..." "OK then." "This is the deal:" "2% with no salary." "Right?" "And another thing:" "We'll give you a pair of sneakers, shorts and 3 T-shirts." "Anybody get drunk and lose his sneakers will work barefoot." "Now, let's get some rest." "Give me your papers." "Get some rest so we can start tomorrow early." "See you tomorrow." "It's all working out, Big Shot." "You're too soft professor." "You're in Serra Pelada!" "Listen, I wanta tell you something:" "We're going to get everything we want, together." "A brother's pact." "Brother's pact." "Big Shot had been my friend since we were young." "We were a good duo." "Juliano had always been hot-headed, always liked to give the orders." "Josias, where's Mudinho?" "He has to take these bags on up by the end of the afternoon." "We don't think this is right, no way." "Too much land for tool few men." " You talking to me?" " You deaf or something?" "I said it's too much land for only a couple guys to be working." "You took over this whole area while ther are a lot of other people wanting to dig." "What you gonna do?" "We didn't just take over buddy." "This claim is ours." "I have the deed." "The deed?" "He has the deed to the claim!" "The only good deeds are in the bible, and the bible only has saints... and I don't see no saints around here." "What you want?" "I want what everybody wants, man." "Land." "Land or blood." "Take your pick." "Let's settle this some other way man." "We can talk this over..." "Drop the knife and let's talk." "Juliano!" "Come here!" "That's enough." "Let's go." "Come on, quick!" "What you assholes looking at?" "Help me here man!" "What you playing..." "What's it called?" "Fuinha." "Fuinha." " Know how to play?" " No." "Thanks for saving my life Big Shot." "I killed a man." "I never killed anybody before." "It wasn't your fault, he started it." "I liked it." "Let me tell you something, Big Shot." "Look at me." "This place brings out the worse in us." "Just the way it is here." "That's the way things happen." "Here's to the "bamburrados"!" "One month later we struck gold." "Happy now huh, professor." "Sure am!" "Let's drink more so our mine won't run dry!" "Me and Juliano struck it rich." "Take another one." "Take another one." "My friend, my brother." "My friend, your brother." "Buddy and buddy, Son of a bitch and son of a bitch." "People began talking about Serra Pelada all over Brazil." "Since its discovery in early 1980, the mine at Serra Pelada has already produced around six tons of gold." "It wasn't long before the government took over the mine." "All gold was to be sold directly to the Federal Savings and Loans Bank, who paid a fair price for the gold." "The government also set up a health center for the miners." "But, on the other hand, they prohibited women, liquor and fire arms in the mine." "Lots of people didn't like the changes, but at that time everybody had to dance according to the music." "Izabel?" "Joaquim?" "It's been so long since you last called." "Over two weeks!" "How are you?" "And the baby?" "Is everything alright?" "Yeah, everything is alright." "Listen honey, I have to tell you." "We found gold." " Really?" " Really." "We struck it rich, honey." "That's wonderful!" "That means you'll be coming home," "right Joaquim?" "I'll send you some money as soon as I can." " Aren't you coming home?" " No." "I'm not going honey, I can't go back now that I've found gold." "I have to stay now." "But, if you've already got some money, you can come back, Joaquim." "I'm not going back with "some" money, no way." "I'm going back a rich man." "That boy of ours is going to be rich." "But, honey, I need you here." "The baby's going to be born soon." "No, I can't talk now, I have to get back to work." "I love you, Izabel," "I love you." "Very much." "Why don't you just shave it all off, huh tough guy?" "Because it makes me look like a baby." "Always playing the tough guy, huh?" "Fags were welcome here." "They were called the Marias." "In a place without any women, the guys who couldn't control themselves wound up adapting." "But not all the Marias were sweet and delicate." "Hi João." "I'll be right with you Marcelo." "I ain't got all day." "I think that'll about do it, shaky scissors." "Get this off of me." "How much is it?" "200 for the hair, 200 for the beard... here..." "200 for being nice." "How's that?" "Thanks, João." "It didn't take long before Juliano found out that the Maria he had killed was Marcelo's big love." " What'll it be today?" " The whole treatment, João." "I'll make you look like a million gal." "Shake that thing, Maria." "What's the matter, you never seen it before?" "I'll let you fuck me and I'll give you a blow job." "But don't go hassling me!" "If you get me pissed off I'll cut off your balls and stick them down your throat, you son of a bitch." "I've got my eye on you..." "When you see me coming you look down and ask for my blessing!" "I've got my eye on you too!" "Take it easy man, you're too uptight." "Leave me alone." "Don't look so sour." "Come on, have a drink." "Let's go driver, let's get this show on the road." "Won't fit anymore back here." "As the government had outlawed booze and women at the mine, the owners of the bars and the whores had to go somewhere else." "A place 30 km." "From the mine, called the "30's" where everything went, the Las Vegas of the Amazon." "Look Juliano." "Look at that car." "You gotta have money for a car like that, huh?" " You give discounts for virgins?" " Sure." "He's a virgin." "Go on, Professor." "Hey, Josias, the professor struck it rich." " It's loaded right?" " Yeah." "I'm screwed if it doesn't have any bullets man." "Go on, take a look." "You really into this thing now, huh." "Into what?" "You going to go around packing a gun now?" "Professor, it's like this here, either you give the orders or you take them." "And I'm not the kind that takes them." "Come on, don't look so glum, it's not all that bad here." "Let's have some fun, go dance "forró"." "Hey man, give me two more of these here, please." "Thanks." "Holy shit." "Did you see that girl?" " What?" " No... don't look." "Look now." "There, at the table with the short guy, some big shot." "All dressed in gold." "Jeez, she's beautiful." "Beautiful was my mother, that there is a goddess." "Let's just drink up these two here and leave." "We've spent too much money already." "Stop talking about leaving and money." "There's a saying at the mine:" "Anybody who doesn't spend their money with girls or booze..." "Won't find any gold." "Won't find any gold." "Here's to us!" "Well, I'm crazy then." " Stay here professor." " Watch your step Big Shot." "Hey!" "A wildcat." "I like that." "Hey, what's going on here?" "These two were fighting outside sir." "And she wants to talk to you." "This macho man here was trying to kill me." "She was pawing some other guy." "And I had asked her to marry me, sir." "I was going to marry this whore, in the church and everything." "Why honey, you going to let a good deal like that get away from you?" "He's one big loser." "Doesn't have a penny to his name." "She took my gold, spent it all and now she's going round with other guys." "She's gotta pay." "With her life." "Yeah... two-timers are better dead, you're right." "But, any guy that falls in love with a whore deserves being two-timed." "Don't you think?" "Listen Romeo, take this money here and go find some other Juliet to ask her to marry you." "Go on!" "He won't do anything to you honey." "Go on now." "Get them out of here." "Beat it." "Get that whore out of here." "Here's my precious nugget." "My diamond nugget." "How much is it to close this place for a private party?" "With women and drinks." "The whole place?" "It's a deal." "The place is mine." "You can stay." "You leave." "You stay." "You stay too." "You there, you leave." "Hey partner, let me stay, partner." "Partner?" "I ain't got no partner." "I told you already, beat it." "Come on buddy, the girl got all dressed up for tonight." " Put on her best clothes..." " The place is closed." "Beat it." " Just to stay here." " I told you already, beat it." "Listen buddy, you struck it rich, but you're not the only one." "How much is he paying you, Ednardo?" "15 grand." "Great." "Listen partner." "Here's 20, just for you to leave." "You take your money and leave." "Don't do this man, you're wrong partner." "Hey partner." "Kiss my ass." "Why'd you do that for?" "You shouldn't have done that." "What'd you do that for?" "Why would anybody do that," "everybody drinking..." "I'll leave this here for you, OK Ednardo, leave this for you." "No need for him to have done that, none whatsoever." "That guy scare you?" "No need for that, totally unnecessary." "You're the one who killed my man, didn't you, you sack of shit?" "!" " Yeah, I'm the one." " So now it's your turn to die." "Oh yeah, and who's going to kill me?" "Who's going to kill me, you?" "I'm going to kill you, you can be sure of it." "Drop the knife." "I'll get you when you're least expecting it." " Drop the knife." " I'll get you, you sack of shit." "Let's go, Maria." "Juliano listen to me!" "Listen, let's go." "You're swearing you're going to kill me, is that it?" "Yeah, that's a promise, son of a bitch." "That's enough!" "Let's go!" "You see what it's like here, professor, this is the way it is here." "And like they say:" "During the day it's the "30's", at night "38's"." "When you coming to live with me, sweet pea?" " I've already got my man." " Who, the midget?" "I'm engaged to be married, Juliano." "I'm getting married in one month." "What you going to marry him for?" "His money?" " Yeah." " I have money too." "It's not just that." "He takes care of me." "You want a father, or a husband?" "I can take care of you too Tereza." "You sound like some miner who just struck it rich." "Wildcat." "I don't trust men, no way." "For me, you and the midget are just the same." "Yeah, but he's a midget." "Hey buddy, any letters for me?" " What's your name?" " Joaquim Francisco Souza da Silva." "Thanks." ""It's a girl!"" " Thanks buddy." " For nothing." "Things at the mine got better and me and Juliano started finding lots of gold." "The only father my daughter had was the check I'd send every month." "But it wasn't enough." "I wanted more money." "And Juliano wanted more power." " Did you talk to Juliano?" " No." "I'm the one giving the orders here today." "Nobody is going to die on my claim, no way." "Listen up everybody." "I've got something to tell you." "Due to the landslide over at the "milharinha" claim, you get the day off today." "Joaquim, Joaquim, no way, you can't go giving these guys a day off." "What are you going to do with the two guys who died up there then?" "They died." "They've gone up to heaven, we keep on working here." "And how we supposed to get to the top?" "We'll go the long way around, go up "Goodbye momma"." "And who's going to be responsible for that?" "I'll be responsible, if anybody has to be." "I'll be responsible." "Well then you can be responsible for this too then." "He's the responsible one now." "Joaquim I don't know how to do this shit here, no way." "You can learn then." "Josias, you keep track here." "Josias, my ass." "Shit." "Listen man, some son of a bitch dies everyday here." "What you gonna do?" "Hold mass, send the widow flowers?" "Have a funeral?" "Don't be stupid." "Let's get moving, the shovelers shoveling, the carriers carrying... let's get working." " You're going to be responsible for this." " Yeah, I know." "You assume all the fucking consequences." "Put it in that little notebook of yours." "Let's get working." "I hope you know what you're doing." "Gold was shipped out of Serra Pelada by the official route, with a police escort to the airstrip." "But it was still being taken out another way too..." "Juliano began playing the game." "He'd sell gold to the smugglers." "Guys who would take the gold over the border." "And anybody smuggling didn't smuggle just one thing." "The car that took the illegal gold took drugs, guns..." "The ants did the hard work, but the guys who got rich were another group... and it was this group that Juliano wanted to be part of." "The criminal organization headed by Carvalho was in charge of dozens of gold mines scattered around the Amazon area." " I'll sink the 12 ball." " Nope." "Sure I will." "If I sink the 12 ball, what'll I get?" "My asshole." " And if I don't?" " What'll you give me?" "The world." " How many tries do I get?" " One." "Beer." "Well I'll be, if it isn't the guy with the tiny claim?" "Tiny claim?" "Alright." "I want to buy it." "I wasn't really thinking about selling man." "No?" "Everything is for sale in this world." "I've already bought all the claims around yours." "I've heard..." "Tell him the names of all my claims." "Babylonia," "Old Plain," "Black Rock, Milharina," "Igrejinha, Malvinas," "Tight Pussy..." "Widow's Hole, Catarina..." "X eréu, Nigger's Head, Yellow House," "I know all your claims." "Yours is the only one I don't have." "You've got a lot of claims, don't you sir." "What you want so much gold for?" "Our claim ain't for sale." "Joaquim..." "Thanks for your hospitality sir." "I'm not going to sell my claim to that guy." "It's not just your claim, Juliano." "Why do you think he wants our claim?" "I don't know." "All I know is that claim is running dry." "But he knows there's more gold further down." "He's the type of guy who has geologists working for him, he pays them to study these thing." "He knows, Joaquim." "And what do you know about shit like that?" "You didn't even hear the guys offer." "I didn't hear it because I'm not going to sell anything to that son of a bitch." "You're blind man, completely blind because of that girl." "We could both be rich with the money he pays us." "Is that your problem?" "You want to be rich?" "Yeah, I want to be rich." "I want to get back to Izabel, to my daughter, back home, Izabel is has been a saint up to now..." "No, Izabel hasn't been no saint, no, you know what she is," "I'll tell you, Izabel is a single mother." "You watch your mouth..." "It's no use arguing with me, no use for us to fight." "All I have to say is this:" "There's more gold further down." "Lots of gold Professor." "I've had enough." "I want to get out of this place." "This place brings the worst out in everybody." "I'll take whatever I can get for that claim." "So, this is what we do then..." "we'll dig for a while more, if we don't find gold, we'll sell the claim, you take your money and leave, go be happy with your wife and your kid." "Because I'm going to stay." "I ain't leaving." "I thought we were in this together." "We were, but you don't have ambition Professor!" "I sure as hell do." "Well then, yours is a lot different than mine." "That's where the problem is." "OK, we'll do it your way then." "I know." "Come on over next to me, come on." "I can't do this anymore, Juliano" "What'd you come here for then?" "I came to tell you that." "I can't take it any more." "Don't be stupid." "Come here..." "I can't do this to him." "Tereza, you can't do this to me." "Come here now." "If you're here just to waste my time, go on back then." "Go on back to your midget, I saw the way he respects you, spreading your legs like that right in front of me." "Shut up." "I won't put up with no whore hitting me in the face like that." "No whore, because that's what you are, a whore." "A two-bit whore." "That's what I used to be." "A slut." "But you don't go shooting off the mouth about Carvalho." "You don't know anything about him." "You don't know anything about me." "He took me out of the whorehouse when I was 13 years old." "Everything I got I owe to him." "I like him." "I'm going to marry him." "You're going to marry him." "Go ahead and marry him." "I'm going to marry him." "Marry him, go ahead." "I'm going to marry him." "I'm going to marry him." "Hello." "I came to check out my claim personally." "This claim isn't yours." "No?" "I don't remember having made any deal with you." "Well my boy, everybody here is standing on gold." "The only problem is finding out where it'll surface." "And that's why I bought all the claims around here." "I bought Milharina," "Widow's Hole, Pedra Pedra," "I bought Tight Pussy..." "The same thing again, huh?" "You didn't even hear my offer, boy." "And I don't intend to." "There's gold here." "I ain't selling anything, no way." "We're not interested in selling, sir." "Well I guess we'll have to be good neighbors then, right?" "Because everything, everything, everything around you... is mine." "Don't listen to him Juliano." "You don't know if it was him, Juliano." "I know it was him." "You know it was him." " And he knows it was him." " You're just jealous." "You blind?" "You going to stand there and defend a guy who's out to get me..." " Who tried to kill me?" " You don't know if it was him." " And how do you know it wasn't?" " Nobody knows who did it, Juliano." "There's no way we can know." "Learn how to lie better." "You're going to have to choose." "Look at me, you're going to have to choose Tereza." "You're going to have to choose, you hear me?" "What's happening to you, Juliano?" "Are you crazy?" "He was going to kill us." " You've turned into an assassin." " And you into a chickenshit, Joaquim." "Why?" "Because I don't go around killing people?" " Assassin." " Chickenshit." "After Carvalho was killed, power switched hands." "Juliano took care of all his enemies." "Some by his own hand, others by destiny." "aids had found its way to Serra Pelada and the Marias were blamed." "The Marias were all kicked out of the mine." "Among which was Marcelo, who had always been talking about killing Juliano one day." "Let me go, I'm a working man, let me go!" "Keep moving." "Shut up." " João Maria stays." " And why's that?" "Because he cuts my hair." "And because of my automatic pistol here." "Beat it João Maria." "You'll have to disappear for a while." "Everybody is out of their mind here." "Let's go, get down from there." "Let me go, shit." "What the fuck you doing in this whorehouse?" "I'm working." "You ain't no whore to be working here." "Yes I am." "You forget?" "You ain't no whore." "You're my girl." "My girl, Tereza, my girl." " Let me go." " What?" "Only Northern Chapel doesn't have any shares for sale." "But over here..." "Babilonia 1, Babilonia 2, Malvinas... all of them are up for sale." "Lindo...!" "?" "Lindo Rico." "Lindo Rico!" "I forgot man..." "I knew it was some kind of singer's name," "I just could remember." "This here is the Claim's Market." "Which I put together..." "Me and..." "Joaquim." "Why don't you get him some coffee?" "Coffee..." "Get him some..." "A cup of coffee." "Fresh, just made, go ahead, get him some..." "And, it's like I say, you put money in the claim, you'll be buying a share, a percentage of what the claim produces." "Like if the claim produces 100kg of gold, 1 kg is yours." "Well let's just imagine..." "partner..." "I buy a claim, a percentage of a claim, and the claim I buy into is dry." "Man if you find a claim in Serra Pelada that doesn't give you any gold you show it to me, because I've never seen one." "But, it's the same old story, an investment is always a risk." "A guy can have some bad luck." "But you won't be putting your money into only one claim." "The question isn't if it'll produce gold, but when the gold will be found and that means digging." "Let's start digging?" "I'll think it over and give you an answer." "Great, that's it then." "Who's coming with me?" "Maranhão?" " But, it's a great idea." " I know." "Partner." "I was just thinking here about what your boss said." "Who?" "Juliano isn't my boss, no way." "He's my business partner." "We've been friends since we were kids." "I've been here two years now." "I've got claims, "damas", the whole bit." "And I see that when people start making money..." "He's your friend... good guy." "The way he talked to you back there, I thought that..." " What are you talking about?" " I don't like that." " You don't like what?" " That, what I said." " The way he talked?" " Of what I said." "That's your problem." "It's his problem, partner." "How'd you like to work with me?" "No, no thanks." "I'm not talking about you being my errand boy, to get coffee and shit." "No way." "I'm talking about you being my partner." "For real." "I can see that you..." "I don't want to work with you." "You don't like money?" "You don't like money, huh?" "Think it over." "I'll be here... you'll look me up." "I'll be around..." "It's two in the morning." "What are you doing here?" "I came for a little talk, brother." "To show you a little piece of paper." "Joaquim Francisco Souza da Silva." "That's you, isn't it?" "So professor, I'm the dumb guy around here." "I don't know how to read no books." "But there's one thing I know how to do, numbers." "What you want Juliano?" " You robbing from me, Professor?" " No." "I'm your partner, you forget?" "You're robbing me you clown." "What's your plan?" "Grab the money and run?" "I'm going to take my part and get back to my family." "That's what I'm going to do." "Show me the money, Professor." "I can't believe you're doing this." "Put that gun down." "Get me the fucking money, Joaquim." "Go on, move it." " This money here is mine." " Put it on the table." "You want to go back to São Paulo, go on." "But the money stays here." "Now, if you want to work for me, I need a good accountant." "I think you might be the right person." "Your business is illegal, you know that, don't you?" "There's some guys in Marabá who take care of that part." "But I need someone here." "I need you." "Brother's pact." "You know what's best." "It's either this or nothing." "Starting tomorrow, at the claim, you don't work there anymore." "Juliano, where's my money?" " What money?" " The money you stole from me." "I didn't steal your money." "Yes you did, and I want my money." "Where is it?" "I think you've been out in the sun too long." "You're the one who stole me, Joaquim." " I'm your partner, where's my part?" " That's where you got it wrong." "You're not my partner anymore." "You robbed me." "This claim isn't yours anymore, the house isn't yours, our partnership is over." "It's over?" "Yeah right, asshole!" "Son of a bitch!" "Shit!" "Fucking traitor." "Clown, chiseller." "Stick the knife in, Josias, go ahead!" "Get him out of here." "Beat it man." "Traitor." "Got no ambition." "You haven't heard the end of this." "Serra Pelada turned into the biggest concentration of manual labor ever since the pyramids in Egypt." "The only difference was that the miners built an upside-down pyramid." "Serra Pelada, which used to be a hill, turned into a hole." "Over 60 thousand men moved the mountain from its place." "This is no toy." "Sit up straight and close your legs." "You looking at that guy over near the counter?" "What?" "That clown over near the counter." "You think I'm like that midget with the horns." "I'm not looking at anyone, no way." "That clown over near the bar." " You think I'm stupid?" " No, I think you're crazy." "Stay put." "You, beat it." "Go on asshole, beat it." "Juliano, what'd you do?" "What?" "What'd you do to that guy that was there." "I removed him from my sight." "Let me go!" "Let me go!" "Aww, my little runaway..." "Let her go." " Let me leave, Juliano." " No." "Why do you want me around?" "I don't like you anymore." "You don't like me." "Let me leave." "You kidding with me, Tereza?" "You trying to piss me off?" "You're only leaving when I say you can go." "And I don't want you to go right now." "I don' t like you anymore." "Let me leave." "It's over." "Let's go home." "Get my bag." "You crying?" "Don't go pouting like that, it's your fault." "It's my fault?" "!" "I didn't tell you to run away..." "It's your fault, Juliano." "You're all alone now." "Everybody left you." "Who's all alone?" "The place is full of people." "Wake up Juliano." "There's nobody left here." "You're the loneliest man in the world." " I pity you." " I don't need your pity." "Where's your friend?" "Didn't you have a friend?" "Where's your friend, Juliano?" "You're all alone, huh?" "Where's your friend?" " That's it, hit me." " Shut up." " Where's your friend?" " Shut your mouth." "Shut the fuck up." "You think I won't kill you, huh, you two-bit whore?" "You think I won't kill you?" "You think I'm scared of killing you?" "Go on beat it." "Get on with your life." "Ice!" "That was fantastic." "Clap your hands." "I like that song a lot." "Here, one grand for every time you play that song." "One, two... play it again." "Just that song." "Go on..." "You two, sit down." "There's a guy singing here, show some respect..." " Go on, play it again." " You're the boss." "I know." "You play only that song tonight." "Go on, sing, shit!" "That was better huh..." "One more time." "Malaria was pretty common at the mine." "Malaria fever was like gold fever." "Pull!" "I almost died that night." "After the fever had gone, my dream came true." "Hey." "Here you go buddy." "I'm leaving now." "Hold it a second, I'll get the money..." "OK." "Thank you." "I'm leaving." "I'm going to see my family." "Thank you." "Joaquim!" "Can I sit down?" "What happened to you Joaquim?" "Go buy yourself some candy." "Juliano robbed me." "Ohh." "I had struck it rich and I was leaving." "Now, I'm back to zero." "You sure it was him?" "It might not have been him." " This place is full of crooks." " Lf it wasn't him, who was it then?" "Cesinha, what is it that I'm always telling you." "Tell him, go on..." "Trust... tell him." "When these guys got here, they were the biggest buddies, like brothers." "Didn't I tell you?" "Juliano is screwed." "You were the one who supported that asshole." "You have to come work with me." "I told you that before." "I don't know what you want." "I just want to teach him a lesson." "I want him to pay." "You know Eduardo Ramos, the sheriff over in Marabá?" "No." "I've known him since I was a kid, I'm the one who got him his job." "If you want to help..." "He'll be really grateful." " What do I have to do?" " Aren't you the bookkeeper?" "Joaquim, this here is Marcelo." "Joaquim is going to tell you exactly what you have to do when you get there." "Pay attention." "You have to get a cashbook that is in a bookkeeping firm in Marabá, on Remedios St." "You the bookkeeper?" "We want Juliano's book." "Is this guy here the bookkeeper?" "The cash book, from inside the safe." "Go on honey, get the fucking book." "If I don't have any patience with guys, imagine with women." "You know where it is." "Go on get it, quick." "You know it's in the safe." "Move it bitch!" "A black book with orange corners." "We have this one here..." " Black or orange?" " Black with orange corners." "They'll try to give you another one, but don't let them." "You trying to fool me son of a bitch!" "Get me the fucking book, fast, if not I'll shoot your face full of holes." "It's inside the safe." "The black one with orange corners." "That's it." " Any questions?" " No." "You want me to make a drawing for you?" "Let's go!" "Don't try anything stupid!" "Hey, what do I get?" "Don't you want revenge?" "That's my own business." "How much do you think I deserve." "Greedy." "That's life." "DUDINHA!" "This chocolate is great, only it all melts in this fucking heat." "Here." "This is for you to be awarded cop of the year." "Don't forget that I'm the one who gave it to you." "Trophies don't fill anyone's belly." "And what about this?" "Can you eat this?" "Can you?" "Can you feed your face with this, huh asshole!" "?" "Can you eat this, you fat ass." "Can you eat this?" "This here..." " How's your wife?" " Alright." " And the kids, alright?" " Yeah, just fine." "The important thing is health, isn't it?" "Get the book there." "Hold it close." "Where'd you buy this chocolate?" "Here in Marabá." "It's good, only it melts." "Boss, you know who ratted on us, right?" "It was your buddy, the professor." "He's in cahoots with Lindo Rico." "Lindo Rico." "Juliano, we've got to get out of here, right now." "It's all over." "There's an airplane on the airstrip waiting for us." "Let's go." "No." "And when the smugglers and the big shots realized that everybody was going down, they started knocking off everybody." "Put some music on, for everyone to dance." "I was the one who gave them the cashbook." " I know." " You here to kill me?" "No, it's an idea, but I have a better one." " I came to get you out of here." " Fuck off, Juliano." "I was already leaving this fucking place." "But you stole my money." "You stole my dream!" "You had them stick me up after you found out I had struck it rich." "What are you talking about?" " You going to tell me it wasn't you?" " Of course it wasn't me." "And you're going to tell me that you believe in Lindo Rico, in the son of a bitch who wants my place?" "Do you know what he's going to do?" "He's going to come here and kill both you and me." "Let's get out of here Professor." " I'm not going anywhere with you." " Let's get out of here professor." "I'm not going anywhere with you." "You crazy?" "They'll be here any minute." "Listen to me you piece of shit, listen." "I promised your wife I was going to get you out of here, take care of you..." "and that is what I'm going to do." "You're leaving with me." "We got into all of this together, and we're going to get out of it the same way." " Let me go!" " We're leaving this place together." "Shit Professor." " Were you the one who robbed me?" " No." "I didn't rob you." "You ruined my life, Juliano." "I know, but you fucked up mine too." "Stupid!" "Come on, let's get out of here." "Hold it..." "Can you walk?" "Go, go..." "It's over Juliano." "Hey driver," "I'm leaving." "I'm leaving." "In a way, leaving Serra Pelada was harder than leaving São Paulo." "Chasing after a dream is always easier than letting it go." "But, if there's one thing the mine knows how to do is teach you to face reality." "What each person chooses to do in face of reality varies a lot." "And it is this choice which determines who you really are." "And my choice, I already knew what it was." "How you doing at school?" "Alright." "Alright." "What's your favorite food?" " Rice and potatoes." " Rice and potatoes?" "Like that?" "Like those?" "Pass them would you honey." "And the guy in the hospital, he in on the scheme too?" "No." "He's my friend." "Last question miner." "How much are you willing to pay to get out of here?" "Thank you."
