He wouldn't dare. 505 00:50:43,084 --> 00:50:46,451 - Everything has a limit. - That 's what everyone thinks. 506 00:50:46,654 --> 00:50:50,681 With him, you never know. The lieutenant doesn't respect anyone. 507 00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:56,355 Does the witness swear on your honor... 508 00:50:56,564 --> 00:50:58,964 that you'll answer truthfully to our questions? 509 00:50:59,166 --> 00:51:01,999 - I do. - Sit down. 510 00:51:03,237 --> 00:51:07,936 Do you confirm that the confession of the defendant, Joaquim Naves Rosa... 511 00:51:08,142 --> 00:51:12,408 to the police authority in your presence was spontaneous? 512 00:51:12,613 --> 00:51:14,604 - Yes. - Did the witness see... 513 00:51:14,815 --> 00:51:20,014 any coercion to make the defendant reenact his crime? 514 00:51:20,221 --> 00:51:23,679 No, sir.

Joaquim showed two trees which acted as landmarks... 519 00:51:37,905 --> 00:51:39,770 and the bush where the money was hidden. 520 00:51:40,174 --> 00:51:45,703 - And why didn't you find the money? - It was already late, getting dark. 521 00:51:46,247 --> 00:51:48,147 That 's all. 522 00:51:48,349 --> 00:51:52,479 The defense may now question the witness. 523 00:51:57,458 --> 00:52:02,486 The witness said the defendant 's confession was spontaneous. 524 00:52:03,731 --> 00:52:07,565 Can you confirm that there was no coercion in your presence... 525 00:52:07,768 --> 00:52:10,362 or no coercion at all? 526 00:52:10,571 --> 00:52:14,735 - No, there wasn't any. - But when?

The defense insults us! 539 00:53:07,628 --> 00:53:11,564 Dr. Alamy implies we are pressuring the witness! That 's absurd! 540 00:53:11,766 --> 00:53:15,668 You can't allow such an offense to the legal system! 541 00:53:15,870 --> 00:53:18,805 Aren't the loaded questions presented to this witness enough?! 542 00:53:20,141 --> 00:53:25,101 He's pushing it, DA.

Stay calm. 544 00:53:29,850 --> 00:53:34,446 ...if not to pressure the witness? - He should watch his back. 545 00:53:49,470 --> 00:53:53,634 You took the police to several functions in your car, right? 546 00:53:53,841 --> 00:53:58,608 - Right. - What purpose did they have? 547 00:53:59,313 --> 00:54:02,908 You don't know or you'd rather not say what their purpose was? 548 00:54:03,117 --> 00:54:05,711 Your Honor, the council is bludgeoning the witness! 549 00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:07,951 I won't tolerate your insults, Counselor. 550 00:54:08,155 --> 00:54:11,647 I have the right to clarify whether the witness can't or won't answer! 551 00:54:11,859 --> 00:54:15,351 You're jumping to preposterous conclusions, Mr. Alamy! 552 00:54:15,563 --> 00:54:19,363 I didn't ask you for a lesson. I know how to question a witness. 553 00:54:20,568 --> 00:54:23,969 You don't want to tell us what was the purpose of these trips... 554 00:54:24,171 --> 00:54:26,901 with the lieutenant, the Naves brothers and the soldiers? 555 00:54:27,107 --> 00:54:30,133 I was called to witness Joaquim's confession. 556 00:54:30,344 --> 00:54:33,609 After that, we went to see how he killed Benedito. 557 00:54:33,814 --> 00:54:37,648 What about the other times you went to the country with them? 558 00:54:37,852 --> 00:54:41,117 - Didn't you see anything? - No, I didn't. 559 00:54:41,322 --> 00:54:46,419 You mean you think there wasn't any reason to take the Naves for a walk? 560 00:54:46,627 --> 00:54:48,595 I don't know. 561 00:54:48,796 --> 00:54:51,196 Didn't you notice anything during these walks? 562 00:54:51,398 --> 00:54:54,697 Didn't you see the Naves getting beaten? Didn't you witness torture?! 563 00:54:54,902 --> 00:54:58,133 No, sir, I didn't. 564 00:54:59,139 --> 00:55:02,575 I've never seen such imprudence and cowardice! 565 00:55:03,244 --> 00:55:08,443 You're out of line, Counselor! Better not try the lieutenant 's patience! 566 00:55:08,916 --> 00:55:11,043 I do. 567 00:55:12,620 --> 00:55:16,954 First, I'd like to say a few things, Your Honor. 568 00:55:17,157 --> 00:55:21,457 I'm more than 5O years old, but in my whole life... 569 00:55:21,662 --> 00:55:25,257 I've never known such humiliation and suffering. 570 00:55:25,466 --> 00:55:29,960 Please! Witnesses should limit themselves to the facts at hand! 571 00:55:30,170 --> 00:55:34,436 But what I'm telling you is about this case. 572 00:55:34,642 --> 00:55:38,373 I'm a good man. I've always respected everyone. 573 00:55:38,579 --> 00:55:40,911 I've never dealt with the police before. 574 00:55:41,115 --> 00:55:45,848 Mr. Oliveira, stick to your previous statement and don't tell tall tales! 575 00:55:45,986 --> 00:55:51,049 But, sir, I need to make this clear. I'm not here to accuse anyone... 576 00:55:51,258 --> 00:55:56,025 but I didn't do anything wrong either, to be beaten up like that. 577 00:55:56,230 --> 00:56:00,462 Okay, enough. The accusation will now question the witness. 578 00:56:01,001 --> 00:56:04,027 Did your brother-in-law, Sebasti�o, show up at your house... 579 00:56:04,238 --> 00:56:09,938 asking you to keep three and a half million r�is in seven banknotes? 580 00:56:10,144 --> 00:56:12,840 That 's right, sir, but I didn't take it. 581 00:56:13,213 --> 00:56:16,774 If you think Sebasti�o had just cause to keep that money... 582 00:56:16,984 --> 00:56:18,645 why didn't you take it? 583 00:56:18,852 --> 00:56:22,515 Because I didn't want any trouble coming my way. 584 00:56:22,723 --> 00:56:26,989 You mean you didn't take it because you didn't like Sebasti�o's attitude. 585 00:56:27,194 --> 00:56:30,561 Objection! The defense is drawing on conjecture, Your Honor! 586 00:56:30,764 --> 00:56:34,996 Overruled, Mr. Alamy. The question was clear. 587 00:56:35,603 --> 00:56:41,041 - The witness may answer. - Basti�o told me he was innocent. 588 00:56:41,375 --> 00:56:44,970 - Did he usually send you money? - No. 589 00:56:45,212 --> 00:56:47,908 So the fact that he asked you to keep some money... 590 00:56:48,115 --> 00:56:54,645 ...was out of the ordinary. - Yes. I mean, he never asked before. 591 00:56:54,855 --> 00:56:57,653 Can you say with certainty that those three million and a half... 592 00:56:57,858 --> 00:57:02,955 weren't part of a larger amount he kept secret to avoid suspicion? 593 00:57:03,631 --> 00:57:04,723 No, I don't know. 594 00:57:04,932 --> 00:57:09,164 You mean that the money could be part of a larger amount. 595 00:57:10,804 --> 00:57:13,830 - Yes, it could. - Therefore, Sebasti�o's money... 596 00:57:14,041 --> 00:57:16,509 could be taken from Benedito's 9O million... 597 00:57:16,710 --> 00:57:19,645 since it was part of a larger amount, isn't that so? 598 00:57:19,847 --> 00:57:24,682 - Yes, it could. - All right. That 'll be all. 599 00:57:25,619 --> 00:57:29,350 You can't allow such absurd questions to be posed, Your Honor. 600 00:57:30,090 --> 00:57:32,490 The defense may question the witness. 601 00:57:37,264 --> 00:57:39,926 How were you subpoenaed to make a statement to the police? 602 00:57:40,134 --> 00:57:43,934 Well, the lieutenant showed up at my farm with his soldiers... 603 00:57:44,138 --> 00:57:49,201 and mistreated me. I didn't have any money, but he wouldn't believe me. 604 00:57:49,410 --> 00:57:54,040 He cuffed my ears so hard, I'm still half deaf. 605 00:57:54,381 --> 00:57:57,077 I don't know about the 9O million. 606 00:57:57,284 --> 00:58:00,651 Did you find it strange for Sebasti�o to carry 3 and a half million r�is? 607 00:58:00,854 --> 00:58:06,952 No, sir. Basti�o used to carry even more money than that to do business. 608 00:58:07,161 --> 00:58:10,289 I'd like you to be really clear about that. 609 00:58:10,497 --> 00:58:15,696 Did you refuse the money because you thought it was Benedito's? 610 00:58:15,903 --> 00:58:20,363 No, sir. I just didn't wanna get into trouble. 611 00:58:20,574 --> 00:58:25,102 Did you suspect for any reason that Sebasti�o had robbed Benedito? 612 00:58:25,312 --> 00:58:27,803 No, sir. No way. 613 00:58:42,830 --> 00:58:46,732 I... was lying in bed... 614 00:58:46,934 --> 00:58:51,303 when I saw Quinca inviting him to go to Uberl�ndia. 615 00:58:52,573 --> 00:58:55,667 It was past two in the morning. 616 00:58:56,510 --> 00:58:58,774 Afterwards... 617 00:58:59,012 --> 00:59:02,948 Quinca came back without Benedito. 618 00:59:05,219 --> 00:59:08,347 Then Basti�o showed up... 619 00:59:08,555 --> 00:59:12,616 and Quinca told me they were gonna look for Benedito. 620 00:59:12,826 --> 00:59:16,421 I didn't understand any of it. 621 00:59:21,201 --> 00:59:22,759 It was... 622 00:59:24,071 --> 00:59:28,303 it was my husband who found the money and gave it to his mother. 623 00:59:28,742 --> 00:59:32,803 It was rolled up in a red and white cloth. 624 00:59:33,447 --> 00:59:39,477 I don't know where she put it. She asked me not to tell about Benedito. 625 00:59:40,721 --> 00:59:43,690 That 'd get Quinca in trouble. 626 00:59:43,891 --> 00:59:48,419 That 's why I lied. Then... 627 00:59:48,629 --> 00:59:53,396 then I told the lieutenant the truth! My mother-in-law's no good! 628 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:58,060 She kept the money! She told me to lie about it! 629 00:59:59,573 --> 01:00:03,100 Your Honor, let the record show... 630 01:00:03,310 --> 01:00:07,406 that the witness is being questioned in the presence of the lieutenant! 631 01:00:32,773 --> 01:00:34,365 Ant�nia Rita... 632 01:00:34,575 --> 01:00:37,601 the day you told the chief of police about these things... 633 01:00:37,811 --> 01:00:41,144 did you go only to the police station? 634 01:00:41,682 --> 01:00:48,281 - No. I went to the jail, too. - And why did you go there? 635 01:00:48,822 --> 01:00:53,987 What happened before you told all that to the chief of police? 636 01:00:54,361 --> 01:00:59,230 My husband gave the money to his mother. In a cloth with red stripes. 637 01:00:59,433 --> 01:01:02,664 My mother-in-law's no good! She's got the money! 638 01:01:02,870 --> 01:01:06,033 Quinca gave her the money, she hid it! She's got it! 639 01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:11,303 She asked me to lie about it! She's no good! 640 01:01:12,913 --> 01:01:15,040 About the defense's objection... 641 01:01:15,249 --> 01:01:19,652 the judge said, for the record, that during most of the statement... 642 01:01:19,853 --> 01:01:21,650 of the witness Ant�nia Rita de Jesus... 643 01:01:21,855 --> 01:01:24,756 the lieutenant was absent from the court room... 644 01:01:24,958 --> 01:01:30,055 and during his presence, he didn't intervene whatsoever on the witness. 645 01:01:30,764 --> 01:01:33,665 Are you sure your husband didn't leave home... 646 01:01:33,867 --> 01:01:36,734 on Sunday night, December the 28th? 647 01:01:36,937 --> 01:01:40,100 My husband didn't leave home. He slept through the night. 648 01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:44,137 You'd been giving your son medication at night for several days. 649 01:01:44,344 --> 01:01:49,179 How can you tell he didn't leave home exactly on that night? 650 01:01:50,117 --> 01:01:54,247 I remember. That was the night Benedito went missing. 651 01:01:54,454 --> 01:01:57,617 But Joaquim confessed that he left that night with your husband... 652 01:01:57,824 --> 01:02:00,987 and Benedito. How can you deny that? 653 01:02:01,194 --> 01:02:04,857 I don't know what Joaquim said. My husband didn't leave home. 654 01:02:05,065 --> 01:02:09,627 I'm sure. I woke up several times and I saw him there. 655 01:02:10,003 --> 01:02:12,164 I can't say Joaquim was home. 656 01:02:12,372 --> 01:02:15,034 I don't know what goes on inside other homes. 657 01:02:15,242 --> 01:02:16,971 Don't you know that Joaquim confessed... 658 01:02:17,177 --> 01:02:18,838 that the money they robbed... 659 01:02:19,046 --> 01:02:24,450 ...was given to your mother-in-law? - That 's what I heard... 660 01:02:24,751 --> 01:02:27,345 but my husband had only three and a half million r�is. 661 01:02:27,554 --> 01:02:32,457 And why did your husband have that much money when he saw Nhozinho? 662 01:02:32,659 --> 01:02:35,822 He had that money before. It was his. 663 01:02:36,029 --> 01:02:40,159 We told Benedito to draw his money from the bank only when he got back. 664 01:02:40,367 --> 01:02:43,131 He even said he was thinking about not coming back. 665 01:02:43,503 --> 01:02:47,872 Did Benedito told you that, or you just heard about that? 666 01:02:48,075 --> 01:02:53,206 I heard about that. Once he said to Basti�o he wanted to see the world. 667 01:02:53,413 --> 01:02:56,541 And how did you know that? 668 01:02:57,250 --> 01:03:00,310 Because...
