"Unfortunately... everything was different when I got here." "You must get used to it." "It's not easy... but it will be worse if you try do fight against it." "Much worse."

"Good evening." "So many hours in one day." "Vindicating their rights, going on strike... that's how they've convinced the employers from England..." "Germany and France."

" Client?" "This bastard used me, then refused to pay and it's my fault?" "So, you've already used her!" " I didn't do anything." " Lf you don't pay right now..." "I'll stick you inside this." "Oswaldo?" "Oswaldo?" "Someone is knocking at the door." "I'll answer." "Good evening, doctor." "Sorry for coming here so late, but..."

"Health Department and I brought you this." " A plague in Rio?" " No." "Not yet." "It's in Santos." "This is from the Public Heath Department." "They want me to meet some doctors in São Paulo." " But you can't." " It's the plague." "And the industry?" "The clinic?" "I'll ask for a license." "I've studied for this." "To fight an epidemic." "And maybe find a vaccine" " Esther, I was waiting for you." " We're not working yet." "Forget about work." "But we have to earn money." "But Esther made me pay already." " You are a whore!" " Take it easy, she's a woman." " She's a bitch!" " Ok, but she's a woman too." "That bitch infected me." "He says you infected him with some disease." "He's lying." " Lying?" "Check for yourself!" "Easy!" "Stop right now." " What's going on here?" " This Polish bitch." "My object is completely damaged." "The idiot is spoiling her!" " But what are you thinking..." " Take it easy."

"It's love." "I bought this for you." "Don't cry." "Come on, smile." "Come on, smile." "That's it." "You have to feel happy here." "And?" "Gentlemen, she's very healthy." "Where have you been?" " In paradise, doctor." " It looks like you were in hell." "You should see the Polish girl." "You're a pervert!" "Then you come here for help." "Come on, doctor!" "I've helped you a lot in here... than any other employee." "Where are the people from the slums you promised to bring here?" "They're too suspicious." "But I have one in mind." "He's black, but they respect him." "What's that for?" "I need a sample." "Open your legs." "Well, gentlemen, let's get the sample for the tests." "I have no doubt." "I've seen this before." "Doctor Lutz, I hope we're wrong... because if this spreads out..." "You're right." "The government will not accept... an epidemic diagnostic easily." "We need strong evidences... to have a response." "I agree the tests must be done quickly." " But they may not..." " Gentlemen!" "We can't treat this... as the plague." " Are they saying I have the plague?" " Calm down... we don't know yet." "But I promise to find out." "No matter what it takes." "The plague reached Santos." "And it was our doctor who found out." "And Baron de Pedro Afonso invited him... to run the new institute in Manguinhos... to find vaccines." "You must learn." "They love to hear it..." " But what I am saying?" " It doesn't matter." "Just learn and say it at the right moment... when they're in ecstasy." "That's it." "That's it." "Do it!" "Repeat it." "That's it!" "Do it!" " Come to me, my savage." " Come to me, my savage." "This is awful." " How are you, Mr. Prata?" " I'm fine." "I have to talk to Ramiro." " He's not home." " I'll wait." "He's coming back late." "Ramiro!" " Do you remember this?" " Prata..." "I haven't got work." "I can't pay the Portuguese man." "Ramiro, that man is not stupid." "Half of this..." " are drinks." " It's not much, I'll pay it." "I just have to find a job." "Don't spend money if you don't have it." "Two days." "Get the money in two days." " My Esther!" "I miss you!" " You again!" " I gave you what you wanted." " And what I didn't want either." "You've infected me." " That's a lie." " It doesn't matter." "It was good." " Doctor!" " Amaral!" " You know each other?" " Of course." "Amaral is always at the police station." "And I feel very comfortable there." " Amaral, Amaral." " I'll leave you with the most pretty girl of this place." "See you." " And the equipment?" " Nothing." "The Baron is not worried about it." "This is ridiculous!" "He called me here to spend the day out in the forest." " I'm sorry." " Be patient." "Well, at least we'll do everything at your way." "Do think so?" " Let's go." " Now?" "It's enough for me." "Here's something to drink." "When you charge, they pay." " They're afraid of you." " Lf they could... they'd pay you." "Say whatever you want." "For me, they're a bunch of pricks." "You don't know this people." " Good morning." " Good morning, Amaral." "This is a very good friend of mine." "Portuguese, now you can tell everyone that... anyone else but..." "Dr. Vicente de Souza was here." "A great leader and a great doctor too." "It's a pleasure for me." "Did you have lunch?" " Yes, thank you." " I didn't, but I'd like to." "Amaral will have some food... but the doctor will have a snack." "Do you know Dr. Vincente de Souza?" "All he cares about is his food." "Amaral." "Leave him alone." "This is the man I told you about." "An honored man, a leader!" "We need people like you." "Tell me doctor... is it true the plague is reaching Rio?" " These are only rumors!" " I'm not so sure." "What people need is a vaccine to end starvation." "Don't go!" "Doctor Vicente is here to talk to you." "Prata?" "Prata?" " What a proud black." " Forget him." "Soon he'll see who's right." " Where is Esther?" " With a client." "But she's been with him for hours!" "Esther, open it." "Open this door." "Mr. Cardoso de Castro, I am sorry." "She's with me." "Do you need her?" "It's just that we miss her." "If you protect my favorite... you'll always have my protection." "It'll always be a honor to have a police authority... in our house." "I'm sorry." "Darling, come on." "Excuse me, I'm busy." "I don't like him." "I don't like this place." "You deserve much more than this." "But I'm still here." "Don't worry, with your talent, you'll have many opportunities." "And the Baron had to call the doctor back." "Why not?" "Now who's taking care of Manguinhos is doctor Cruz." "The Baron gave up." "Now he'll have to ive with this." "Doctor Cruz!" "Please." " The rat is well." "It worked." " It's too soon to celebrate." "We haven't tested it in human beings." "But who'll be our guinea pig?" "Come on." "Now we just have to wait." " Doctor Cruz!" "We're on the right path." " Congratulations." " Congratulations, doctor." "Let's celebrate!"

" Dr. Osvaldo... we need someone to run the Public Health Department." "And President wants results against the fever." "That's why we need a professional." "Sales believes you're the man." "I appreciate, sir." "But this problem can't be solved so easily." "Diseases come from somewhere." "Agglomerations, lack of hygiene and information." "And in this case... it seems to have infected the scientists too." "Many of them don't recall what's been proven." " The mosquito's thesis?" " It's not only a thesis." "The mosquito is the carrier." " And what are your plans?" " My plan is simple." "Prevention." "It would be the end of the mosquito and the disease." "Dr. Cruz, I ask for your permission..." " to appoint you to the president."

"This Rodrigues Alves was the Emperor counselor." "He's a cheater." "We need to overthrow the government... to build over its ruins a real Republic." "How could it be different?" "We did the dirty work." "We got rid of Monarchy and we have no Republic." "Things got worse." "We've overthrown the Emperor... and now we have to live with those coffee barons."

"Amaral!" "Be careful!" "It's a great pleasure to meet you." "Doctor Osvaldo Cruz!" "The pleasure is mine." " Would you like some coffee?" " Yes, thank you." "I can't live without coffee." "The country can't live without it." " Excuse me." " You're being appointed to... a very important office." "You were highly recommended." "But what really matters are your ideas." "Minister Seabra told me you can terminate the yellow fever." "Thank you." "I think we should assume the same strategy Cuba did." "The Americans... took systematic procedures against the mosquito... and ended with the yellow fever." "I think we should do the same here." "Doctor, you need to do something." "Because of the fever, this city, which represents Brazil... has become a disaster." "Foreign ship refuse to stop in Rio... to take the load... because many of their sailors have died... and they were infected here." "Of course they are overreacting." "But we can't afford not to export our precious coffee... and have no more foreigners... coming to work." "I lost a daughter." "I want revenge... and I need your help." "You can count on me." "Talk to Pereira Passos, the mayor." "I trust him." "Thank you." "Excuse me." "Did you see what Olavo Bilac wrote?" "Where is it?" ""Everybody is terrified... with the horrible mosquito."" "I came to die in your arms." " I should really kill you." " It'll be for a good reason." "Dear father, our life here still the same." "I have no more fantasies about America." "At least not about Brazil." "We work and work, and earn nothing." "I was lucky to have found Gustav." "Together we share our lives with our people." "The Christians are tolerant in this land... so we can... follow our traditions." "That's what comforts me." "The strength of Israel." "Do you believe that, father?" "I think so." "Send my greetings to everybody." "From your daughter, who loves you." "Esther." "How can an engineer help a great scientist?" "The President asked me to provide... whatever you needed." "We need to be an example." "We have to control the mosquito's breeding... on constructions' surroundings where there are trashes... and dead water." "Terminate the mosquitos from Rio de Janeiro?" "If you think that is the solution... tell me how I can help you." "Cruz is supported by Rodrigues Alves." "He and Pereira Passos own the city." "One destroys everything and the other fixes it." "The termination of the fever would be a relief." "And what about the gonorrhea?" "That's not a government's problem." "But aren't they a bunch of son of a bitch?" "Gentlemen, it's not going to be easy." "You'll have to change the image of Rio de Janeiro." "The capital must be a model to the country." "We don't take care of sick people anymore." "We terminate the disease." "I'll repeat..." "Open the door, it's the Mosquito Termination Brigade." " My husband is not home." " It doesn't matter." "We're represent the government." "I can't let any man come in when my husband is not home." "We're coming in anyway." "Come on, let's clean up this place." "Empty those bottles." "That cup, over there." "Esther, my darling." "What do you want?" "Some love, my love." "I'm busy now." "I have a client." "Don't lie to me." "You have no more clients." "Just me and the other." "You are the other." "Come on, I beg you." "Oh My God" "Wait!" "I'll open the door." "Clotilde, my love." "My goddess." "My heart belongs to you." " How do you like this?" " What's this?" "Put it back." "Don't be a fool." "Let's play." "Stop it!" "Hell!" "You're afraid of woman." "You only think about Clotilde." "Enough!" "Take it!" "Look who's here!" "Teixeira Mendes!" "You ruined his reputation calling him Osvaldo Cuba." "I didn't do anything, he did it." "I just wrote in the paper." "He's been talking about Havana." "He's spending $ 5 thousand to kill mosquitos." "I'm just getting back what he owes me." "Osvaldo Cruz, can I ask you a question?" "Not now." "Doctor Cruz, does the vaccine work?" "I heard that in Cuba the yellow fever is back." "That's not true." "I can prove it isn't back." "Oswaldo!" "Ignorants." "Did you hear about disinfecting the soil?" "What else are they going to say?" "I heard Costa Ferraz saying that." "He made a mess at Medical University." " An idiot." " Idiot, but influential." "Maybe you should think about it." "But there is no scientific base." "None!" "Cleaning the soil to terminate the yellow fever... is something from the past." "But I will not give up." "I'll keep fighting the mosquitos." "Osvaldo." "I think you should reconsider that." "I've got to go." "Susana is waiting for me." "Bitch!" "Are you feeling embarrassed now?" "Enjoy yourself!" "Enjoy because you'll loose everything you have." "Listen to what they're saying now." ""It's seems a dream, but it's reality." "We're in February, the birds sing... the sun shines over the city, but there's no more yellow fever."" "Do you know who wrote this?" "That poet Bilac." "We won!" "Thank to your courage... the city is free from the yellow fever." "This was just a battle." "We still have others challenges." "That's another story." "As a politician I have to celebrate... this historic victory." "We still have the plague." "It can reach Rio de Janeiro at any time." "I want all the population... fighting the plague." "We need to terminate all the rats." "Doctor... with your fame you can terminate whatever you want... even the politicians." " You picked them yourself?" " Yes." "Me too." "There are so many of them in my neighborhood." "It's a big one." "And we need the money." "God bless Osvaldo Cruz." " How much for these?" " Can't you read?" "But these are fat." "We pay $ 300 for each." "You'll get $1.200" "Can't you count?" "I've got 5 of them." "It's $ 1.500." "We don't buy males." "They don't carry the plague." "A rat is a rat." "Do whatever you want." "Next, please." "Alright." "Alright." "I'll take $ 1.200." "Mr. Teixeira!" "Where are you going in such a hurry?" "What do you want?" "I have to talk to you." "I heard you're after the painting." "What painting?" "The painting from Lili, the whore." "That's a shame!" "How can you talk like that... about a pure woman?" "Lili, pure woman?" "It's not a portrait of Lili... it's Clotilde's." "The wife of our great master Augusto Conte." "What do you know about the painting?" "It doesn't matter now, Mr. Teixeira." " I want to propose you something?" " I'm not interested." " It's a great proposal." " Where's my painting?" "A small farm to breed..." "I said I'm not interested." "I need some money." "And the person who has the painting... can get upset... and you may loose the painting." " This is blackmail." " Don't be so hard." "It's just a loan." "You'll have your painting back." " This is blackmail." " No." "It's just a loan." "Why are you so happy?" "I'm happy to know we're going to have a clean city." "That's great." "This must be done soon." "Convince people to leave as soon as possible." "You know what to do." "Let me go." "I hope you know what you're doing." "I want my house back." "I'll tell everybody what I know." "Including that you've slept with me." "You can speak louder." "Listen, everybody." "Listen!" "The Polish woman just reminded me..." "I slept in her bed." "I don't deny it." "And I recommend you to do the same." "What do you think?" "You can scream if you want." "Nobody will listen." "And if they do, they'll pretend they didn't." "You deserve this." "One more thing..." "In Rio, you'll find no place work." "Oswaldo, you haven't eaten." "Are you sick?" "Don't tell me you've got the plague." "Nem pensar." "I want you and your friends very healthy." "Oswaldo, this time I'll get rich." "Vani!" "Vani!" "I need the bedroom." "We'll sleep after it." "Look how elegant he is!" "Amaral!" "Wonderful!" "He hangs around Catete now." " As all the farmers." " You're envious." "I only got business with the government." "This one is on me." "Gentlemen, excuse me." "So, did you sell them all?" " Where's the rest?" " It's all there." "Fifty-fifty." "I don't like this." "I have many people working for me." "Tomorrow I'll sell more than today." "I breed and feed them, and you take half of the money?" "You breed them, but can you sell them by yourself?" "I want you to check them up every hour." "I need to know how they react to the acid." "Doctor, I told him you were busy." "Dr. Cruz, I'm Raimundo Carvalho from Health Department." " Sorry to interrupt..." " You already did." "Speak." "Say it." " It's about the rats." " What about them?" "We're spending too much money." "What do you mean?" "We have enough funds." "There's something wrong." "Suddenly the expenses raised." "The directorship paid almost "$10 contos" for just one man." ""$ 10 contos?"" "And he brings more rats everyday." "I think you're not aware of this." "People say that this man, Amaral... breeds rats to sell us." "What?" "They say he has a place in a farm... to breed them." "And you need me to decide what to do?" "Talk This is not a public health matter." "Please... to the police chief..." "Mr. Cardoso de Castro." "He'll take care of that." "His name is Amaral." "Amaral." "That's okay." "Tell Dr. Cruz not to worry about it." "The police will take exemplary measures." "Thank you very much." "Amaral" "What is going on?" "Leave my rats alone." "Take it easy." "I know Mr. Cardoso." "I can talk to him." "He wants to talk to you too." "Hi, doctor." "What am I doing here again?" "Welcome, Amaral." "Welcome." "Open the door!" "Wake up!" "Open the door," "I need to use the bedroom." "Vani!" "What's going on?" "What's all that noise?" "I'm sorry, but my friend doesn't answer." "Open the door!" " Are you sure she's in there?" " Yes, she had fever." "Let's see what happened!" "Get out of here!" "Get out of here wth that plague!" "Vani!" "Vani!" "Gentlemen, variola kills." "And the death is cruel and painful." "We had more than 1.500 cases in this hospital only this year." "Almost 200 people died." "I want to see her one more time." "That's impossible." "She's dead." "It's dangerous." "It's a contagious disease." "It's variola!" "Did you see the patients?" "They look horrible." "I don't know which one is worst, the wounds or the cow's face." "Stop talking nonsense!" "Nobody has become a cow because the vaccine." "It's made of cow's pus." "They almost burned an English woman... saying she was a witch." "And she just had taken the vaccine" "That's bullshit." "And we'll all take the vaccine." "Please, Moacir." "Mr. President, Senator, Minister." "The disease is spreading out too fast." "The death number will increase." "This is ruining the Republic." "Dr. Cruz, let's go straight to the point." "Very well." "If you're not a nurse, what are you doing here?" "I want to be a volunteer." "My friend died of this disease." "I'm afraid to be infected." "Did you see?" "There's nothing to be afraid." "She asked to be volunteer... because she saw what could happen to her." "We need to vaccinate the people right away." "Doctor, the inoculation is a law now." "An useless law, if it's not settled." "It was not easy for the government to approve the law." "Now, you and your colleagues... have the civic duty to settle it." "My civic duty is to protect people's right." "Senator... please, help me protect people from diseases." "We'll examine the subject carefully." "But you better be aware... that we have different opinions." "This government is famous for it's violence with people." "Senator!" "This is not a politic matter." "We're talking about saving lives." "We're talking about giving people a better living." "You take care of healthiness and we take care of politics." "That's why we were elected." "Doctor Osvaldo never rests." "First, the mosquitos, then the rats." "Now, what's he going to do?" "Is he going to distribute microscope in the slums to see if they find the variola's microbe?" "He's going to chase people with a lancet in his hand." "With a lancet?" "Doctor Cruz is really a pervert!" "The fact is, our president, the coffee baron... ordered doctor Cruz to create a regulation." "Everybody will have to take the vaccine." "We'll have to take off our pants." "That wont be a problem for you." "The Polish girls know that." "Those Polish girls!" "Rott, please." "Look who's here!" "The Polish girl who became rich!" "What do you want?" "I need a place to stay." "You don't have to pay me." "I'll work for food and lodging." "It's not a bad proposal." "Forget it!" "If Mr. Cardoso knows about it," "I'll be in trouble." "He made it clear!" "Nobody is suppose to give you work." "There's nothing I can do." "Esther!" "It's so good to see you." "I need to talk to you." "Where have you been?" "What's wrong?" "You look terrible." "I don't feel good." "I can't find work." "I tried to talk to Rot, but he said Cardoso... gave him orders not to give me work." "I'm looking for Amaral." "Have you seen him around?" "Amaral?" "I heard he's doing fine." "He's breeding rats and selling them government." "He's rich now." "We haven't seen him lately." "Do you know where I can find him?" "I heard he's always at a Portuguese bar in Morro da Saúde." "I think his office was there." "Go look for him." "Good luck." "Luck!" "I really need it." "Thank you." "I will not accept it!" " That's impossible!" " Oswaldo." " Wait." " What is it?" "The woman died!" "That's a fact." "Very well." "How old was she?" "I don't know." "But the coroner guarantees that... she died after taking the vaccine." "The coroner!" "I'll see if he knows how to do an autopsy." "It's a curious autopsy method." "Finding out the cause-mortis... without cut opening the body?" "You're a magician." "How did you guess the vaccine caused the death?" "I don't have such a gift." "My methods are primitive." "I need to see it to diagnose." "Here it is, doctor." "Take a look." "There's no medical record... that says the vaccine causes ulceration in the stomach." "What about the liver?" "It's completely damage." "Maybe the vaccine did it." "Maybe!" "I don't remember seeing the word "maybe"... in your report." "She was a drunker." "Doctor, you will have... to write your report again." "Or I'll do it myself." "Excuse me." "Do you know Amaral?" "He's famous around him." "But, you wont find him." "He has been caged." "What do you mean?" "He's behind the bars." "He's in jail, understand?" "They found out about the rats and arrested him." "It was a direct order of chief Cardoso de Castro." "Why are you so sad?" " Are you one of his girlfriends?" " No." "But he was my last hope." "I can't find work, and I have no place to stay." "Are you, by any chance one of those Polish girls from Lapa?" "Yes, I'm Polish and I worked in Lapa." "Today is your lucky day." "I have an extra room in the back." "You can stay there." "You can help me here... and if you get any client, you take him to your room." "Can I sleep there too?" "Of course." "You give me all the money." "I'll charge... for the food, the rent, and the rest of the money... if there's any left... you'll have in the end of the month, alright?" "Dear father... life hasn't been easy here..." "And that's why I haven't written before." "We had to move to another house." "It's not what we've planned, but it's a start." "Now we can work and live our lives." "There it is, gentlemen." "The regulation of the Health Department directorship." "If they don't take the vaccine they'll be not allowed to work... to admit their children in school, to travel it would be easier... to lock them up!" "It would be even easier if the law anticipated all that." "But I had to do it." "I see no problem here." "But, Mr. President, the population does." "That's true." "You can't underestimate people's reaction." "There are even fines to be paid." "If we don't vaccinate the population... the disease will take over the country." "Well Congress will have to vote it until Sunday." "My friends, I propose... we do a big demonstration." "It's going to be the greatest demonstration ever seen here." "The government will be against it... but that wont be a problem." "Some of you can be injured, but that's alright." "The press will probably be on our side." "Of course we'll focus on the obvious vindications." "Better homes, better transportation, wages... and of course, the end of the vaccine regulation." "The main problem." "Are you with me?" "Fight, fellows!" "Fight" "Doctor, can I have a word with you?" "I'm late, José." "What's the matter?" "It's my boy... he took the vaccine." "Is it really dangerous?" "No, listen to me." "We're not against it." "In a few years, many people will be vaccinated." "But you're against it." "But for political reasons." "If we fight against inoculation... we'll be fighting to change society." "Someone may not take the vaccine and get ill... but on the other hand... we'll prevent people's starvation." "It's a kind of social mathematics, understand?" "If you say so." " See you tomorrow." " See you." "See you." "The people from the league against the vaccine regulation have a clear point of view about it..." "Think about it!" "After arriving home from work... the chief of the family has no idea... if his family is still worth of honor." "That's because some strange man entered in his house... supported by a law that authorizes the violation of your homes... and of the bodies of those who live in it." "We need to do something against it." "We need to defend ourselves!" "We can't agree with it!" "We must join ourselves... and fight against this damned vaccine." "Sign up the paper." "Each one of us must resist... to protect our homes and the wellbeing of our families." "That is the vaccine the government wants us to take." "Down with the vaccine!" "Down with the police!" "I just came from downtown." "People attacked the policemen." "They're arresting some people over there." "Let's go help them." "I want to see General Travassos I'm Dr. Vicente de Souza." "He's waiting for you." " Dr. Vicente." " General... the demonstrations are running riot... and the police is lost." "It seems there were some deaths." "That will open people's eyes." "Now I'm really sure!" "It's getting stronger and people will be on our side." "They'll be against the vaccine." "And you agree with that." "I think the vaccine is important... but soon we'll think of variola... as a remedy for politics." "Believe me, General Osvaldo Cruz... has gathered all sorts of power against government." "With the people and the troops on the streets it'll be the end... of the oligarchies and the government." "Are you willing to bet on it?" "Why not?" "If it's ruin this government... we'll help you." "Get out of here!" "Get out!" "Gentlemen..." "We're here to change the history of this country." "We'll finish with this illegitimate government." "You know very well who you can count on." "My group goes to Realengo." "Will you face the old Hermes?" "He's much better than many young generals." "We studied together." "I'll be more helpful if I come with you." "And you?" "The School of Praia Vermelha." "I know the cadets." "I'm sure they'll march to the palace." "Then, we're ready." "The workers wont disappoint us." "If they don't hide themselves." "I'll take care of that." "The workers will march with you." "Let me see if the bullet is still there." "Look what I got from the police." "I just came to have a drink." "Are you staying here?" "Don't close the door." "Emília, calm down." "It's just those idiots!" "Why is this happening?" "I knew this wasn't going to work." "Please, Emília!" "Please, Oswaldo?" "Please?" "Your name has become a curse." "I'm afraid to go out." "And now they are threatening our house." "I thought I could change things." "But, no." "They don't want me to." "And the government doesn't understand me." "Oswaldo!" "Take this people away from here." "Excuse me." "When I heard about it..." "I decided to bring the chief with me." "I hope all the doors are locked." "They are." "Your vaccine is causing a lot of trouble, Dr. Cruz." "I didn't mean it." "I know." "I'm sorry." " You do understand, don't you?" " Yes, I understand." "Anyway, everything will be as it should be." "Why?" "What's happened?" "Don't you know?" "Your regulation was rejected." "They voted for the substitutive." "Bastards!" "I'm sorry." "Anyway, the President... sent guards to watch your house." "You know, just in case." "What's happened, Oswaldo?" "They rejected the regulation, Emília?" "Why?" "After all you've done!" "I can't believe this." "I was a fool to trust them." "They keep arguing... about who's the best republican... while people die of variola." "And they attack my house!" "They should attack the Congress." "Calm down." "Please... take Emília and the children to the house of my father-in-law." " They'll be safe there." " What about you?" " I need to be alone." " But it's dangerous." "I need to be alone." "Go with Salles and the children." "I think I better stay with you." "I appreciate that, but I need to be alone." "And the guard can stay, but outside." " Do we have ammunition?" " Yes, it's in the back." "Let's take this over there!" "Mr. President, the Army is not alone." "Some generals... are gathering rebels to march with them." "Have you taken all the precautions?" "For the time being... they're not too many and we can control them." "But, if they join the crowd... then we'll be surrounded." "People!" "They'll do whatever those activists tell them to do." "I'm worried with your army colleagues... and the opposition." "Mr. President, the scum has gone crazy." "They built a huge barricade in Morro da Saúde." "They even have a cannon." "I advise you to leave the palace." "I mean, for the time being." "We'll take you to one of our ships." "Are you proposing... that I should leave the government headquarter... on the Republic Day?" "Never!" "There are troops coming from Minas and São Paulo." "Gentlemen, order will be restored!" "Mr. President!" "I need to speak with you." "Go on, forget the formalities." "I want to resign my office." "Unfortunately, it's my office which is at stake." "They're against the government... not your vaccine." "Mr. President, please." "I'm not being selfish." "The people don't understand." "It's about the variola!" "Maybe the regulation was severe." "Doctor forget about your ideals." "Your regulation is dead!" "Go home." "They are the doctors now." "I'm sorry, doctor." "I didn't see them." "Take this away." " General Travassos." " Halt!" "At easy." "Speak!" "It's..." " What's happened?" " It went all wrong." "Gen. Hermes said... his subordinates refused fighting the government." "I understand." "Now, be quiet." "This can affect the boy's moral." "You can see by Congressman Varela." "You can go now." "Forward!" "Halt!" "Halt!" "On guard!" "We're marching to the Palace to save the honor of this country." "And tomorrow, we'll celebrate the Republic of Floriano... not the Republic of the coffee planters." "It's your choice." "Will you fight on their side?" "Gen. Travassos, order your men to stop." " Dr. Vicente Souza." " That's me." "You're under arrest." "Amaral, I'll give you a chance to be free." "Take him to Morro da Saúde." "If you get the doctor there... you don't need to come back." "That's a piece of cake." "Other thing... if you see the Polish girl send her to me..." "Hurry Amaral, before I change my mind." "Go on!" "Here!" "Six bullets to kill six policemen." "Who are you?" "We're from the union." "What are you doing here?" " We came to fight." " And that's your troop?" "No, they're with the barricade." "I'm Mariano, from textile industry." "Zé, from stowage and Galvão, from ferry." "The situation is critical." "We need help." "Let's get back there." "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Look how fast they run!" "Bunch of chickens!" "Easy." "We're here to talk." "About what?" "You're very brave men... but government is planing a massacre." "We're not afraid of them!" "Calm down." "You can't defeat them with that cannon." "President has sent..." "Shut up!" "Let me deal with them." "There's a war ship on the bay." "It's will bombard Porto Artur." "We still have time to negotiate." "Strike breaker!" "Tell those bastards... we'll be here waiting for them." "This wont help." "Doctor Vicente, you better be going." "I'll talk to them." "Go on!" "Stay here." "Death to the police!" "Down with the vaccine!" "Why are you sitting there?" "We need to take care of the people." " I came to take care of you." " Bullshit!" "It's not my business." "What are you talking about?" "About your only chance." "It's not me, it's your policeman." "He's worried about you." "He knows the ships... will bombard Saúde." "They'll kill everybody." "And you talk like that!" "It seems you like it." "Come on!" "Even after all you've been through... you don't get it." "In Brazil, it pays to stay on the winning side." "On one side, a war ship... on the other, this bunch of bums." "You'll have to choose, Esther." "Good luck." "Esther." "Good luck." " Where are the bullets?" " I've got the ammunition." "But it cost more than I thought." "You're a cheater." "Dr. Cruz!" "What's he doing here?" "He made me a lot of questions." "What does he want?" " He's a doctor." " I'm not sick." "I'll deal with him." " Doctor Osvaldo Cruz!" " Forgive me." "Do you know me?" "Forget it." "I'm leaving." "If you've got a place to go , you better go." "What do you want here?" "I wanted to see with my own eyes." "I wanted to understand." "You're the commander you should know better!" "I don't command anything." "You're white, rich and you're part of the government." "Of course you do!" "My job is healthiness and healthiness is not politics." "It's just a matter of power!" " And you have the power." " What I've done was... for the rich, for the poor for the white, for the black." "Do you think you can change things... with a fucking vaccine?" "With the vaccine, you live." "Without it, you die." "We die anyway, doctor." "Not like that." "Taking care of people... means not to let them as beasts." "Is that so difficult to understand?" "That's why the country's like this!" "The country is yours." "Things are getting worse." "They need us!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Do you know what you're doing?" "And who knows it?" "Osvaldo Cruz in Porto Artur!" "That's a great headline." "Who saw him there?" "Jorge, the reporter assures it was him." "Come on!" "He spent his whole life thinking about vaccines." "This is a life!" "Do you think he'd go in the middle of a battlefield?" "And Jorge is always drunk." "That's true." "He drinks a lot." "By the way, that's a good idea." "Cheers!" " Cheers!" " Cheers!" "It's all over!" "Peace has been restored in the city." "Finally we can rule in peace." "I want all those rebels in jail." "Mr. President, I will clean up that place... personally." "Excellence, don't you think... we should be harder this time?" "Minister, the government always does what has to be done." "In this case, the punishment will be exemplary." "Mr. President, excuse me." "Dear father, I feel very happy today." "Our business is doing great." "I've talked to Gustav, and soon..." "I'll send you some money to come to Brazil." "It's a wonderful land..." "Come with me." " Why?" " Because I want it." "ON NOVEMBER 18, 1901..."
