-[grunts, yells] Lampião! -[gunshots fire]

-[♪ somber music playing] -Dadá needs to rest for three moons.

-[yells] -Push! Exhale!

God writes each person's fate in blood.

[women chanting]

And be careful not to catch a belly full, okay, kid?

By the grace of God, I will starve and thirst those bastards to death.

-[gunshots fire] -[screams, sobs]

I didn't find a speck, Captain. They killed our friend.

Instead of running away, you should attack Silvério in Piranhas.

Catch him by surprise.

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN TWO DAYS

[Maria] You can cross Baixa do Chico without anyone noticing.

If we can't stay, if we can't run away, then so be it.

-[gunshots fire] -[grunts]

-[gunshots fire] -[grunts]

[groans softly]

[Silvério] Fallen angel of the Lord, come to my aid.

Help me defeat my enemy.

-[coughs, spits] -That's pregnancy fatigue, see?

Have you gone mad, Sila? [pants] Are you crazy?

-I was born barren. -[♪ music fades]

[birds chirping]

[♪ ominous music playing]

[cangaceiro] Hey! Hey-ho!

[indistinct chatter]

[Maria] I don't know how you stand it.

I have faith that someday, Cassaco and I will get out of this life.

See our child, a doctor.

Carrying that belly of water for nine months

only to give the baby away.

-[cangaceiro speaks indistinctly] -[scoffs]

I just want it to be a boy. So he doesn't suffer like us.

[cangaceiro] Let's go, let's go, let's go! Hey, hey! Hey! [grunts]

[tuts]

1 MONTH LATER

-[indistinct chatter] -[dogs barking in distance]

[Nininha yells in pain, inhales sharply]

-[Sila] You can do it. -[Nininha groans]

-[Lourdes] Yes, you can do it. -[Nininha groans]

Breathe, yes.

-You're doing good. -Oh, Sila! [groans]

-[Sila] Breathe! -[cangaceiro woman] Push.

[grunts, groans] I can't do it anymore…

[speaks indistinctly] Breathe.

[grunts, groans]

-I'm not going to make it… -Well done, Nina.

That's it. [speaks indistinctly]

Trust that you will. You're strong. That's it.

-[groans, breathes heavily] -Come on. Come on. That's it.

-That's it. Breathe. -[speaks indistinctly] Push!

-[yells] -He's coming out, Nina.

He's coming out, he's crowning, Nina. Push.

-Push, push. Push. Yes. [laughs] -[groans, grunts]

-[baby cries] -[all chuckle]

-Ah, thank God… -He's coming out, Little Nina!

-Oh, Mother of God! -[sobs]

-Give it to her! -He's so big!

Oh Jesus, thank you so much.

-You did it! -He's so chubby!

[chuckles] So chunky! Aw, how beautiful!

-[cries, chuckles] -Big eyes.

Look at that! A baby boy just like you wanted.

-[pants] -Big eyes and chubby!

[all chuckle]

-Why is there so much blood, Sila? -Oh, my God, that's a lot of blood!

Lourdes, uh… get… get a cloth, get a cloth. Quickly! Grab a cloth.

-Nina? -Go, girl, grab more cloth. Hurry!

Here. Put it here. [speaks indistinctly]

Get more cloths! Get more cloths! Go on, girl, grab more cloths,

bring water!

Get some water! Bring it over here!

[speaks indistinctly] I need the water in here quickly!

Try to drink, Nina. Drink some water. Here.

Drink it, Nina. Sila, she's not doing well.

Move it! Grab more cloths, Lourdes! Move it!

-Go, Lourdes. Move it! -[breathes heavily]

-Nina? -[indistinct chatter]

Nina?

-[baby cries] -[breathes deeply]

[shushes]

[pants, grunts softly] Maria.

[pants, grunts softly]

Take care of my baby boy. [breathes deeply]

Give him to a good family. [breathes deeply]

So he can be a doctor.

[Maria] I promise.

It's okay.

Oh, my God…

[sobs]

[cries, groans]

-[sniffles, sobs] Mother of God! [sobs] -[sniffles, sobs]

UNPUBLISHED PHOTOS OF LAMPEÃO, MARIA BONITA, AND THEIR GANG

MARIA, THE OUTLAW LEGEND

-[baby cries] -[indistinct chatter]

[retches, coughs]

-Are you okay, Santa? -[coughs]

[coughs, clears throat, spits]

-[shushes] -[baby coos]

-[hums] -[baby cries]

[Maria] You okay?

Let's go. [sniffles]

[♪ pensive music playing]

How many moons since your last red visit?

[sniffles] I don't remember. I can't keep anything down.

You'll feel a sharp pain at the bottom of your stomach.

Then blood is going to come out.

-[sniffles] Are you sure about this, Sila? -Only God is sure, Maria.

-Are you sure about your path? -[inhales deeply] Give it to me!

Drink fast so it doesn't taste bitter.

[slurps]

-[cangaceiro woman] Swallow! -[gulps, sighs]

[Maria pants, groans]

[groans, gasps]

[Sila] Maria. Maria?

-[Zé de Neném] Maria! -[grunts, groans]

[Zé de Neném] Maria!

[Maria groans, pants]

[Zé de Neném] Maria!

Where are you? I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.

-Sit down and eat. -I ate already.

[spits]

-This shit is cold! -Then warm it up.

You should have eaten with the whores you were with.

[murmurs indistinctly]

You aren't good for shit! You can't even make a fucking child!

And who would want a child with an old slob with a filthy ass?

You don't get tired of being beaten, huh?

[groans, pants]

[glass shatters]

[grunts] That was the last time you lay your hands on me!

[Zé de Neném breathes shakily]

-[♪ music fades] -[dog barks, pants]

[sighs deeply]

So? Did you bleed?

Not a drop. I need more of that drink of yours.

[scoffs] Are you crazy, Maria? It's dangerous.

You're gonna help get this plague out of me.

-And what if it's God's will? -Why would God want this?

A baby living like this?

[birds chirping]

[baby crying in distance]

[Lampião] Santinha?

You're pregnant, aren't you, Santa?

Tell me the truth.

[baby babbles in distance]

You'll give birth in your mother's house. Okay?

Silvério is on our trail. You can't stay here.

I belong next to you. Not far away.

God forbid what happened to Nina should happen to you.

[baby crying in distance]

You have to take that boy away from here.

-[baby crying] -[indistinct chatter]

[Corisco] Hey, Sila, why won't this kid shut up?

-[Sila] What do you want me to do? -[Corisco] I don't know. Something!

[Sila] Well, he's hungry.

I'll go.

But not because anyone is telling me to.

I made a promise to Nina.

-[♪ country music playing] -[horse snorts]

[tuts]

[Maria] Wow, God bless him! He's got big eyes just like Nina.

[both chuckle]

He's lucky he didn't take after his dad, Cassaco.

What a fat ugly bastard! [chuckles]

-[Dadá] And a drunkard! -[chuckles]

Wow, that one. You're crazy. [chuckles]

-It's a miracle! -[chuckles]

It's the first time I've seen you crack a smile.

[chuckles] Right?

[woman] As you can see, we're going through many hardships.

-Since Jandir ended up in this state… -[♪ music fades]

…there's no way we can provide for another mouth.

This should be enough,

to repair your property and take care of the boy's future.

That's a lot. We don't need this much.

I made a promise. The little critter will be a doctor.

I'll come back every year to visit my godson, okay?

And I'll bring you some more.

[baby coos]

Let's go.

[sniffles, sobs]

[whimpers, cries]

[Maria shushes]

[cries]

-[shushes] -[♪ poignant music playing]

Will you look after him?

-As if he were my own son. -[moans, cries]

I appreciate it.

Let's go.

[whimpers, cries]

[♪ music fades]

[Maria tuts]

Closer.

Your blessings, Mother.

God bless you.

-And who's this little goat? -I'm not a goat. Nor little.

-What are you then? -I'm Amália.

That's your niece.

[Déa] Jacinto, grab some water for your cousin, boy.

Is she my aunt who's a Cangaço? I thought she would be a little bigger.

What? You don't think I'm big, kid?

You don't? [chuckles]

Now that you're in good hands, I need to go.

No, you stay. Get some rest.

-I'll go. -[Déa] Godspeed, child.

-[sniffles] -[Déa] Come on in.

Let's go inside before someone sees you. Come.

Come on!

-[sniffles] -[Amália speaks indistinctly] …mom.

[♪ soft music playing, Ambulante “Quando Cheguei”]

[Lampião] With the weapons of St. George I will be armed,

with the sword of Abraham I will be protected,

with the milk of the Virgin Mary I will be sprinkled.

In Noah's Ark I will be gathered.

[sighs]

5 MONTHS LATER

[Maria sighs heavily]

-There's no good position. -[grunts]

You should be inside. It's like you want them to see you.

I'm sick of you ordering me around.

[DonDon] Well, I'm sick of looking at your face too.

Who are you, princess? Sitting there with your feet propped up.

[spits]

Goat piss.

What about you? Can you read?

I can. I read a lot.

[laughs]

The women in your family all make the same face

when they lie, don't they? [laughs]

I'm gonna teach you.

Don't you fill this girl's head with your bullshit.

-[Amália] But I want to. -You don't decide what you get to do!

Come here, I'm in charge here! Go away!

You see now, right? A show-off like you. Go inside.

[laughs]

[horse neighs]

[♪ ominous music playing]

It's come to my attention that you know the whereabouts

of that blind motherfucker.

[breathes deeply]

-[Silvério] Speak up, you dirty pig. -Let my father go!

When I finish my prayer…

and you still have nothing to tell me…

you'll be accountable to our Creator.

[kisses]

-[horse grunts] -[man chokes]

Lampião went to Canindé!

Canindé, huh?

Let's go to Canindé! [grunts]

Go! Come on!

[man chokes, grunts]

Go! Go!

[coughs]

-[♪ music fades] -[coughs]

-[horse babbles] -[gun cocks]

[sighs] Oh, fuck! If I was Silvério, I would be in trouble.

[chuckles]

It's good to see you back, Corisco.

How was all that time alone out there?

[grunts, sighs]

I traveled all around the backlands of God's home.

And I gathered some good men in Cabaceiras.

Bahia, Sergipe, Alagoas, Pernambuco, and Paraíba.

Everywhere I went, I saw one of these.

WANTED - LAMPEÃO SERGIPE STATE GOVERNMENT WILL PAY $8000

Luckily, the portrait artist wasn't any good. [chuckles]

[coughs]

Mrs. Maria.

Isn't she looking after you?

Maria got pregnant.

I sent her to her mother's five months ago.

With that devil Silvério riding around, it was too risky.

I also came to… to see Dadá.

[Lampião] A worthy woman.

Your loyalty is very important to me, Corisco.

You know that. You know this group here will one day be yours.

If you'll excuse me. [grunts]

[clears throat]

[coughs]

[♪ pensive music playing]

[♪ music fades]

-[Maria] L plus A, "La." L plus E, "Le." -[Amália] La. Le.

-[Maria] L plus I, "Li." -[Amália] Li.

-A-ma-li… -Li…

-Ah. Period. There. -Ah.

Here. Ah…

-Yes. -…má… li… a.

Yes. Maybe you're not that stupid, huh? Just like your aunt. There.

Auntie, is that true that cangaceiros kill people?

-Who told you that? -Grandma.

It's true. We take a knife, open their bellies, pull out their guts,

and eat it all with yucca flour, like sarapatel!

-[DonDon] Amalia! -[Maria laughs]

[DonDon] Come and help in the kitchen, come on.

I'm busy. Do it yourself!

-Put it here. -[knife clanks]

[DonDon] What's that, girl? You wanna get slapped? Are you showing off?

Leave her alone. Leave her alone.

It's not enough for you to shovel a load of shit into her head, huh?

Are you trying to teach me how to raise my daughter? Out!

Don't do that, DonDon! [pants] Don't do it.

Let go of me!

Auntie, if I was a cangaceira, my mom would be in big trouble.

[laughs]

Come on, Amália, again. Write it again. Go.

[crickets chirping]

-Auntie, can I come with you? -Go where?

So I can become a cangaceira like you. I can be strong.

Yeah? Are you angry, too?

-Yes, I am angry. -Show me.

-[growls] -[chuckles]

-Can I come? -[♪ eerie music playing]

[chuckles]

If you became a cangaceira,

there wouldn't be any men in uniform left to tell the story.

-[grunts, speaks indistinctly] -Quit playing around and let's go.

And respect your mother, little goat. [chuckles]

[rider] We're two days from Canindé, Silvério.

[Silvério] Mark my words. Virgulino will fall within the week.

[merchant] Good afternoon.

[store owner] It's been a long time since I've seen you here, man.

[merchant] I was in Cabrobó last month.

Then I made my way down, passed through Rodelas, Caraibeiras.

Things are ugly. Now I'm heading to Canindé.

APPRENTICE'S PLAYBOOK MACEIÓ - 1918

[merchant] Would you like anything from there, my friend?

-[woman] Hey! Come back here! -[store owner] Canindé?

Why the hell are you going there, man?

A battalion of men is heading that way, accompanied by Silvério Batista.

I'm taking soap, aspirin, liquor, and cognac.

They said they're going to ambush Lampião's gang.

And a bunch of men have already enlisted for it.

[store owner] Are you sure?

A colleague of mine who was there said the cangaceiros won't last

-another three days. -[store owner] What are you talking about?

Huh? That's if I don't get there first, right, brother?

[indistinct chatter]

[Silvério yells indistinctly]

[yells indistinctly] Go! Go! Go!

-[♪ music fades] -"My-nee."

For "mine," the "e" is silent. Not "nee" as you said, look.

-"Mine." There. -Mm-hmm. [murmurs indistinctly]

What's with the face? I can teach you, too, you know?

[Amália] It's nice, mom.

"Yes…"

-"Or…" -[Maria] Is something going on?

Huh? Are you gonna talk or not?

[breathes shakily]

-What? -[DonDon] I heard a rumor in town.

What did you hear?

A road merchant said that…

Silvério Batista sent a bunch of men after Lampião.

[♪ tense music playing]

Where are you going, Maria?

Where are you going, Maria?

-Move! -Hey! [pants]

[DonDon] Stop this nonsense, Maria, for God's sake!

Come back home! I'm telling you to come back home, dammit!

I made a promise to Lampião! Go, go! Call-- Call Jacinto…

-[Maria grunts] -…to go after her! Get him!

[♪ tense music playing]

Did something happen to Santinha?

Silvério Batista is coming this way with a bunch of men.

And Maria is giving birth right now.

Get everything together and let's go!

[yells]

[rider] Lieutenant, we found this son of a whore.

[Silvério] Let's take this whore's son. [grunts]

[Silvério] By God, it's Jacinto.

I don't know anything. I swear it to Jesus Christ.

You have to forgive me. It wasn't my fault.

What wasn't your fault?
