"And that guy holds a key position." "In Manaus... he's history." "He was your choice." "I don't exist." "I'm just a man in the background." "You're a federal agent, Branco." "You have style." "But I don't want your style in my business." "There's too much at stake." "I won't share distribution in Brasiliawith Canosa." "The Colombians trust him."

"Daddy told you to and you obeyed." "Why bother about the partnership in the garage?" "It's just a front." "For us, there's no return." ""On the way, they'll read the signs left by the enemy."" "Amen to that, darling!" "We only leave here with money." "And here it is." "3O kilos in this boat." "Let's sell this coke outside Brazil." "We'll reach Nestor's port tonight." "Then, it's Manaus."

"Fuck the horse!" "But you're right." "We are going back to Nestor." "Something went wrong." "You dreamed of the horse and I saw something else." "Nestor had Branco's lighter." "Nestor has seen Branco." "That's for sure." "They're out to get us." "I know that because of the dream." "Not because of the damn lighter." "What happened, Nando?" "Who's that with you?" "He's trustworthy." "Came from Brasilia." "You have to be in Manaus at 2 AM!" "Plenty of time." "Let's talk." "About what?" "Go in." "Why the decision to come back?" "I must talk to Branco." "Where is he?" "I don't know." "You were with him when you left to call the Frenchman." "No, I wasn't." "You shouldn't have brought his lighter with you." "That's my lighter!" "I lit your cigarette, remember?" "It wasn't in my pocket." "So what?" "Where is Branco?" "I told you, I don't know!" "He must be in Brasilia." "I'm not sure." "Let's just pretend this didn't happen." "How do I know you haven't eliminated Branco?" "This is crazy!" "What's on your mind?" "Hair." "All this about a lighter?" "Anyone can pick one up at the border." "Why are you acting like this?" "You must be there tonight." "We're scared of the night." "Scared of the dark." "Right, Nando?" "This is Ibanez's stuff."

"We were going to die there too." "Vandernilson and I." "Did Yves receive a call about 9:" "3O confirming the meeting?" "No way!" "You heard what she said." "The Frenchman called for me, so he trusted me." "I was with Yves until he left for the meeting." "There was no call." "The place and time had already been fixed." "The police were tipped off." "You're wrong, Nando." "I had nothing to do with this." "Why are you listening to this bitch?" "Nando!" "You must die!" "Let me go!" "Let me go!" "I'll make you talk." "Please, Nando!" "Don't do this to me!" "Don't leave me alone with Vandernilson!" "Please!" "You can't call me that." "Vandernilson, my ass!" "I hate that name!" "For God's sake, Nando!" "You can't take two paths at the same time." "For God's sake!" "Don't do this to me!" "I didn't want to!" "Branco's in Manaus!" "He'd kill me if I didn't!" "Please, Nando!" "We'll stay together for now." "You're coming with us." "No, I won't." "This is hell!" "You're all mad!" "This person is sick." "Alone and with that accent, you wouldn't last 2 days." "You know too much." "You'd die and give us away." "They can't arrest me." "I have nothing to do with the cocaine." "I'm a foreigner." "If you were free, why did you end up here?" "Why didn't you go to Paris?" "Nestor was my way out." "Well, he isn't anymore." "Give me your gun." "NEST0R'S WHARF, JUNE 14th" "To kill a man... 0k." "But this..." "Nando?" "No." "I know his records." "Someone with him." "Could be." "What do you think of all this?" "Weird." "First, all those papers..." "Looks like a set-up." "And now, mutilation!" "Looks like war." "And so it is." "Gang warfare." "Can you prove it?" "See Chief Miranda in Brasilia." "He's on the level." "A federal judge." "I know Miranda." "Mention my name." "Don't spread it around here." "PORTO ESPERANCA, JUNE 15th" "I'm worried." "I can't reach Canosa." "And Nando's been missing for 3 days." "Found the French girl?" "No." "But she is of no importance." "Really?" "The bullet that killed the Frenchman was either fired by her or Nando." "They could be in it together." "Let's not panic, Ibanez." "We've done business for ages." "Have we?" "You and Canosa have." "By the time Canosa appears, it'll all have been settled." "It better be!" "I've left two of my men to help in the investigation." "Don't get panicky, Tulio." "Nando has no choice." "If he tries to escape via Belem, he's fucked." "Thinking about her, Nando?" "That slut made us sitting ducks." "What do we do with her?" "See it as their problem." "It's harder to eliminate three than two." "Branco's still in control and every mistake we make... brings us closer to him." "Rest assured, Nando." "Once we're in Paraguay, they'll lose all trace of us." "This cocaine doesn't belong to us." "Who says Canosa isn't tricking the Colombians using us?" "With Branco's backing." "I do." "I'm telling you for the last time, Vander." "Until we hear from Canosa, this cocaine has an owner." "She won't go." "We've been traveling for two days." "This foreign whore is a dead weight." "You think the Feds don't have her picture?" "I'm the only one they don't know." "I heard it all." "First you kill me, then they kill you." "Shut your trap, slut!" "I should have left you in the bush... for the police to screw you..." "and then, kill you." "I have away out." "Apparently, you don't." "Really?" "How?" "I know a pilot at Porto Esperanca." "His name is Iran." "A friend of Yves." "I saw on the map that it's near by." "It'll take a day to get the car." "We came because you decided." "Now it's your problem." "What's more, will she talk to the pilot, or will you go along... with this... parasite?" "I want to check." "PORTO ESPERANCA, JUNE 16th" "I wouldn't if I were you." "This is a dangerous place." "I know you're after Iran." "He works for the police." "He's with Deputy Branco." "The Feds are after you." "Who are you?" "A reporter." "I'm Raul Boal and you're Monalise, Yves' wife." "Don't even think about getting out via Belem." "Do you know if Yves contacted Nando?" "I don't know any Nando." "Think again." "Nando's with a psychopath." "I saw the autopsy." "The bullet that killed Yves... was not a police caliber." "What's your interest in this?" "I have a great interest in it." "I need a statement from you." "I don't like reporters." "If you should change your mind..." "Monalise." "Go up the river to Barreiras." "It's your only chance." "Move over." "We have to leave right now." "Can I talk to you alone?" "What did the pilot say?" "I didn't see him." "He works for Deputy Branco." "How did you find out?" "A reporter from Brasilia." "Damn it!" "He's following Branco's investigations." "This reporter knows about Yves and me and that you're accompanied... but he doesn't know by who." "Branco's here in Porto Esperanca." "The way-out you thought of, via Belem, is no good." "That slut is trying to drive awedge between us." "I told you she was lying all along." "There's only one way out." "Barreiras and then, Brasilia." "You said you have Canosa's protection in Brasilia." "This woman's gonna get us all killed!" "She wants to go to Brasilia, where her Embassy is!" "She's untouched, while Branco screws us!" "I'm gonna finish you off!" "The gun's in your hand." "You've always been my armed right arm, but you're suicidal." "Know why?" "You're neither male, or female." "She's right." "We're going to Brasilia." "Put the gun down." "I won't kill her because you think you depend on her." "And I won't kill you because you're all I've got." "Now, I'll go to Brasiliawith you." "Then, you'll never see me again." "BARRElRAS, JUNE 17th" "I want to speak to Canosa." "Arnaldo Canosa." "Not back yet?" "No." "No message." "Thank you." "FRENCH DRUG-DEALER slain" "P0LlCE DRAGNET F0R MURDERERS" "The reporter told the truth." "It's safe here in Barreiras." "Branco may not know our route, but it's a question of time." "You take half to Brasilia tomorrow." "No one knows your face, Vander." "Find Canosa." "I'll need his protection there." "She'll go a day later." "I'll go with the other half." "We'll meet up in 4 days." "Do you agree?" "Understand?" "I'm the stupid faggot who never thinks." "Remember?" "I just want to know if you understand." "Maybe, sweetheart." "Perfectly understood." "Over and out." "Tulio." "Yes, Branco?" "I'm needed back in Brasilia." "We're going ahead of schedule." "Take a plane to the Santa Helena Ranch." "Try to hold out Canosa's situation." "What do you want?" "My gun." "I'm leaving now." "Don't stick your nose in." "Until we sort this out, you'll obey." "No!" "I'm not scared." "Think I've never met anyone like you before?" "Let me go!" "Cut it,'cos I'm not letting go!" "I'm in charge here!" "Let me..." "I'm from Paris!" "Yes, I know only too well!" "It seems that you won't be leaving anymore." "Yes." "It's happened..." "Hey, beautiful!" "When we left the reform school..." "Vander became a parachutist in the Air Force." "We spent three years in that place... that hell hole." "They tried to kill him twice, but I stopped them." "There's an image I can't get out of my mind." "After Nestor, Vander was like asaint when illuminated." "And there's something else." "What?" "Nestor's dead face." "It looked filled of happiness." "That's what..." "You knew Vander would do that." "Doesn't that worry you?" "I try not to think about it." "That's his nature." "I can't stop him." "I know that Branco was a traitor." "Vander, my brother, would never abandon me." "But 15 kilos in a backpack can drive anyone crazy." "I hate cocaine." "I tried not to get mixed up in it again." "Canosa got me out, and I owe it to him to be here now." "Why didn't you give it back to the Colombians?" "Doubt." "I'm afraid Vander might be right." "It might be one of Canosa's moves." "If I give it back, Canosawould be at risk." "Until Brasilia, it's all doubt and risk." "Have you tried suicide?" "No." "I want to die an old man." "I have." "When I was 14." "I met Yves a year ago." "I was 25 and he, 50." "Amazing, but I quit drugs because of him." "You'll leave tomorrow." "I'll be there in 3 days." "You'll find me through Vander's contact in Brasilia." "Will you look for me?" "I don't know." "BRASILlA, JUNE 2Oth" "Hi!" "Do you understand Portuguese?" "Surely!" "A friend gave me this address." "I'm looking for a man." "What woman isn't?" "Good-looking?" "No." "Tall, dark, well-built and a drag-queen." "Brasilia is full of men just like that." "I think he works here." "Name's Vandernilson." "Vander." "I know him." "But I don't know if he's in Brasilia." "He hasn't been here for 2 weeks." "Is it urgent?" "Very." "Sounds like a mystery story." "Mystery... and romance." "Is that song you were singing Japanese?" "Yes." "What's it about?" "It's about awoman washing clothes in astream... when she realized she had lost her wedding ring." "In Japan, this is asign that her husband will die." "She rummages through the clothes." "She cannot find it." "She gives up." "She goes home and kills herself." "She dies so that her husband may not." "Hi, Bety!" "Hi!" "I think I can help you." "I live next door." "I must change." "Do you want to come with me?" "Raul." "Monalise." "You were talking about Canosa's death." "A French person can't understand a man like Canosa." "The worst kind to be found in this country." "He started out in the dictatorship's lntelligence." "He was a torturer... involved in 3 lawsuits concerning death by torture." "When he came out, he was rich." "He set up a firm and has controlled drugs in Brasilia for 4 years." "The article is a lie." "Canosawas betrayed." "The traffic in Brasilia is changing hands." "I know it's gang warfare." "So why didn't you write it... and why protect Branco?" "He was Canosa's partner." "He set it all up." "Branco?" "You mean, Deputy Branco?" "How do you know that?" "I just know." "Can you prove it?" "Put it down, Raul." "I can't understand why you pursue this story." "That's my job." "I know it's dangerous, but I'm going on with it." "Listen, Raul..." "There's also a Colombian called Ibanez." "Forget it." "Don't try to know more." "I like you, Monalise, ever since I saw your photo." "Don't." "I met Nando at Nestor's Wharf." "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here." "Nestor's Wharf?" "So you saw Nestor being tortured?" "It wasn't him, Raul." "It was another person with him." "BRASILlA, JUNE 22nd" "Have you seen yourself?" "You're as famous as atv star, sweetheart." "Did you find Canosa?" "He's not here in Brasilia." "Daddy's forsaken you, darling." "I must find him, Vander." "Do you really think you will?" "I don't know." "But I'm going to try." "And Monalise?" "The hotel said she'd left." "She's with the reporter who made you astar." "I even know the phone number." "I know Branco's not alone in this." "There's someone bigger behind all this." "But I'm going to look into Branco and anyone with him." "I need your help, Miranda." "I need to know where he's been these last 3 months." "And the phone calls too." "Take it easy, Raul." "What new information do you have?" "The Frenchman's woman is here in Brasilia." "She may have proof." "I was with her yesterday." "I wouldn't mention this to anybody." "In return, I'll give you one on a plate." "The Air Force informs flights left Porto Esperanca towards..." "Santa Helena Ranch, Mato Grosso do Sul State." "Who does that belong to?" "You'll find out." "Wait, Miranda!" "You know!" "I've overstepped the mark." "Now it's up to you." "But be careful." "Santa Helena..." "I've heard that name." "I bet you have." "Judge Miranda..."

"I won't prove a thing." "Lineu's diversifying." "Radio, magazines, cattle..." "And now, cocaine." "They made me take part in a fraud." "Hello..." "Hello..." "Strange." "I'm scared of knowing what I already know." "Raul... that call." "It might have been for me." "What?" "What do you mean by that?" "Who has my number?" "No one who could harm you." "Leave it." "Are you OK?" "I was worried." "Where?" "Any cab will get me there." "What time?" "OK." "I'll be there." "It was Nando." "I'm going to meet him." "You must be crazy!" "Why did you give him my number?" "He's alone and hunted." "He needs me." "He's a good person, Raul." "My God, what a fool I've been!" "I got you and your psychopath out of that shit." "You used me, and put me to risk!" "Don't say that." "It's not true." "We made an agreement." "Get your things together and get out of my house." "If you want some advice, don't meet him."

"He means nothing." "Raul is a reporter." "I'm against what you'll do to him based on the information." "You knew about her and didn't tell me." "It doesn't matter." "It doesn't?" "You picked up her trail in Barreiras." "She was with Nando." "She could know." "She's been with Raul here." "Raul now knows about you for sure." "But he won't know about me." "I suggest you pay Raul off." "You can buy a reporter, but not kill him." "If you do that, we will really be in trouble!" "If we don't do anything, you will really be in trouble!" "Anyway, you know Raul can't be bought." "A waste of time." "Take care, Lineu." "This could mean disaster." "Oh my God!" "It will have to be done and in my fashion." "And today, after 16 years, I went to see my father at his church." "And your mother?" "Who?" "Your mother." "She betrayed my father and was thrown out." "He burnt her clothes in the street behind the neighbors." "I never felt so ashamed in my life." "But where is she?" "I have no idea." "I'm going to go straight." "I'll only stay here till I contact Ibanez." "To take the cocaine back alone is madness." "You'll never get there." "A lamb to the slaughter." "I lost Yves." "You lost Canosa."

"How long can she bear a dirty-nailed plane mechanic?" "She'd chosen the reporter, if he'd stayed alive." "Do you think she dressed up like that for you?" "Have you finished?" "I could say a lot more." "But what for?" "I'll never forget what we went through in the Amazon." "You were loyal." "There's your share." "We're quits." "Lineu is the way to Branco." "I'm going with you." "That's absurd, Vander." "It's pointless." "Nobody knows who you are." "Branco's not stupid." "He'll know about me by now."

"He's here." "Get your hand away!" "You sent me to my death, but I'm still alive." "Congratulations." "This is Vandernilson." "He has been with me the whole time." "I've been watching your work." "If you think you'll do the same to me, you're wrong." "I'm a professional." "I'll break your neck first." "I'll do to you the same I did to your place, filthy fag!" "Shut up!" "Let's call Ibanez." "Take his gun and search the car." "Everything." "Get our car inside." "Dial." "This is the number." "My God!" "How does he do that?" "You'll tell Ibanez what you did in Manaus and here." "Call him!" "Just look what I found in his car." "This briefcase... and this." "May I?" "It's yours." "If I die, Ibanez will kill you." "Tell the psycho what he told you over the phone."

"The world's falling apart, Nando." "You're no idiot." "You know you won't come back from Ibanez alive." "Isn't it nice to have so many people after you?" "It brings tears to my eyes." "Too bad Lineu's not here to see this." "Why don't you put down that gun... get your brush and come see my green dick?" "Not thick enough for me..." "Pay no attention, Vander." "Think he can take it?" "I'm everything for him, aren't I?" "Gag him." "He can't kill me." "You'll have to let me go." "If you get back from Ibanez alive."

"He kidnapped a Fed and is an accomplice on Lineu's death... avery influential newspaper man." "You won't escape." "And other thing." "I want Branco alive." "I'll wait till tonight." "Without him, you die." "Want to work for me in Colombia?" "You'll be safe there." "Thanks, Ibanez, but I'd already left it." "And I don't want to go back." "Green-backs can help." "Take it." "It's on me." "Thank you." "I like that boy very much." "Tell the police." "Something to drink?" "Just you and me." "And you want it." "I know you want it." "And now you can, since Nando got back alive." "You'll "cum" a lot if you run that brush on me." "Not everyday you can do that to a Federal Officer." "If you kill me, all your troubles are over." "Come on, Vanda." ""Cum" with me!" "I know what you feel." "They don't." "I've "cum" breaking drag-queens' necks in Sao Paulo." "7 or 8 times..." "I can't remember." "After the third, they got suspicious." "But they still went with me." "Some things can't be avoided, Vander." "You want to use your brush." "I want to break your neck, sweetheart." "Nando!" "Stop!"

"And Canosa's and the reporter's and the Frenchman's?" "You're a son-of-a-bitch, Branco!" "I'm going to let the police find your body." "Oh no, you won't!" "You're crazy!" "You sent me to death... and planned it all!" "You killed Vander!" "Nando, we must get him out of here." "You want loyalty where there is none." "Who do you want to revenge?" "I only regretted Raul's death." "Lineu had him killed." "I called Miranda to stop it." "But I couldn't reach him." "I'm going to burn Lineu's car." "I'll bury Vander here."
