"In the church?" "What'd I do there?" "Did anyone talk to you?" "You're happy, huh?" "Happened what you wanted." "You happy, huh, gaucho?" "Me?" "Don't know why?" "Let him be." "Drink some." "Will you celebrate too?" "To the law enforcers!" "Doesn't mean anything." "It was an accident." "You had bad luck." "But that happens." "Mario, shut him up." "What ya have to do with it?" "Me?" "Nothing." "What are you laughing at, then?" "Can't I laugh?" "No." "OK." "The policeman prohibits it?" "Yeah." "What was the man's name?" "Shut up." "Shut up!" "I'm not laughing, just talking." "Don't talk!" "Can't I talk, either?" "No!" "Can't laugh, can't talk..." "Shut your mouth!" "Brave one, huh?" "Will you stop it?" "What ya want?" "The man's dead." "Manuel." "So what?" "Many deaths are left unnoticed." "How many did you kill?" "Many." "But now I'm a truck driver." "Let him be, he's a drunk." "Aren't we all?" "Policemen, truck drivers... all drunks!" "Or does the police prohibit drinking too?" "Come one, let's stop drinking!" "It's useless!" "If I want to drink, I drink." "Let him drink." "Won't laugh, won't talk, just drink." "Did you serve together?" "Yes." "Quite a fella?" "Yeah." "I thought you wouldn't come." "You can look at me, Luiza." "Wasn't my fault." "You were the killers." "I wasn't there, but at your home." "Couldn't do anything." "Why did you lie?" "Between us, it doesn't change anything, right?" "So why did you lie?" "Mario." "You're right." "It doesn't change anything." "Yes, it does." "It already did." "Holy Ox." "We're hungry and have faith." "We only need a miracle." "If it doesn't rain soon," "I swear you won't be saint" "or an ox anymore." "If they released the monies, we wouldn't have this problem." "But next year it'll get better." "You must be happy, when you finish loading, you'll leave." "The people is good, won't do anything." "But you know, they're hungry and homeless." "Yeah." "Prevention is better than cure." "That's what I say..." "What about next year?" "I hope it has drought." "If time runs out, we'll shoot." "It's good to calm them down." "The Almighty never forgets his flock." "Let's have faith and wait." "God is merciful, and puts to test the resignation of His chosen ones." "Go on." "Go on." "I don't like their faces." "Don't get yellow now." "What was your dad told when you were born?" "Boy or girl?" "I'll get a drink." "It was cheap." "Don't worry, I'll pay in a few days." "Yeah, right." "How much do you think my truck is worth?" "And the traditional hospitality from Bahia?" "Maybe I'll have to use a uniform to eat something." "Put this on the soldier's bill for his behavior." "What's this, major?" "Will scold Santo?" "Don't waste it!" "Fuck off." "Calm down." "Give me the bottle." "Go get it." "I'm armed." "Oh, but you shouldn't be, pal." "Could you get me a box?" "I don't want to bury her like this." "Your child?" "Died of what?" "Starvation." "Your child died of starvation, and you did nothing?" "Nothing?" "They're taking all the food, you coward!" "You do nothing, you shitty soldier!" "Stop!" "He stole my gun!" "They'll kill you!" "They're surrounding the house!" "First I'll shoot them up!" "And I'll do it well." "You'll die!" "You only die uselessly starving, not gunned down." "Don't shoot, Mario!" "No!" "He's no better than me." "Don't!" "Enough!" "Enough!" "Gaucho!" "Gaucho!" "Get up!" "Stand up, Gaucho." "He was a saint." "And did miracles." "Helped building churches throughout the backcountry." "Never looked into one's eyes." "But at the emptiness of the world, beyond the people, could see the past and the future," "and the wickedness hidden in the people's hearts." "Hair got to his shoulders, the beard covered his chest." "Was a saint." "And I listened to his holiness when his name wasn't yet spread." "It was a procession of cattle." "By the end of these works, he lead the procession through this way." "When the procession came to the foot of the mountain range, the wind wouldn't stop enhancing, as if it would carry the world." "Everyone got on their knees, holding onto something, all afraid." "Except for him." "Walked through them, as a mantle," "went where the wind blew stronger." "You could see his beard and long hair swinging with the wind," "and the certainty of my fear made me certain I wasn't dreaming." "Standing, he seemed to grow." "Arms raised, head looking above," "he spoke to the elements." "Nobody understood what he said, but spoke to the wind, the thunder and continued his great bonanza." "Everyone asked who that was that made the wind and thunder obey." "Let's get moving." "What are you waiting for, Mario?" "I won't go." "Come on." "What's done is done." "That happens." "But why?" "We accomplished our task." "Zé!" "I've found another!" "Will you be back?" "Don't know." "Farewell." "So you were with Gaucho, before he died?" "Did he say anything?" "In the end, only 20 men were left, against thousands of soldiers." "The last one to die was a 16-year-old boy." "It's meat, people!" "Meat!" "Be merciful unto me, O God, for my soul trusteth in thee, beneath the shadow of thy wings, until these calamities be overpast." "My soul is among lions, who devour me." "Their teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword." "O God, manifest thyself, in all thy splendid glory, splendid, upon the earth." "For the real God, for the Holy God, for the Almighty God," "who even was Christ Nazarene, King of the Jews." "Lord, I approach thee." "And apart from these rats, poisonous worms, grasshoppers, destructive worms." "So that, in this moment," "I disappear from this land, from this garden, this water, who only has the base of Jesus of all your celestial Glory of the holy church." "Of this place, O Lord, ...enough..." "Amen." "Subtitles by SWFH Special thanks to ANGEL"
