Besouro Page #3

- Damn it!

Hide yourself!

They found the n*gger.

Z Moreno hit him.

Look, the animal is hurt.

Over there.

Get out of my way.

It better be understood

the n*gger's shielded body

was riddled with

Noca de Antnia's bullets.

- Good God, it's Z Moreno.

- Stupid.

Moron, look at him!

Look at him.

Look at that piece of sh*t.

What happened here should

teach each of you a lesson.

He let a n*gger fool him,

now he'll eat dirt, damn it.

He even allowed

to be groomed.

Moron! Moron!

Do you understand? Now go.

Go after the n*gger. Go!

- Let's go.

- Come on.

- Let's go.

- Move.

So not only we

didn't solve the problem,

but we missed the target.

We lost one of our own?

You'd better settle this soon,

Noca.

- It won't be easy, colonel.

- Why is that?

Because he flies.

He what, Noca?

Gather around the Capoeira

and one day we'll be free

Gather around the Capoeira

and one day we'll be free

Gather around the Capoeira

and one day we'll be free

- Stop. Hold on, man.

- Relax.

I'm sorry.

- Sorry about what, boy?

- We know it's forbidden.

I've nothing against your games,

just don't overdo it.

I don't like disorder and people

who harm their own kind.

What's your name?

Quero-Quero.

I want to know

who's good in your game.

Come on.

Go on, play it.

Isn't that what you call it?

Look at that.

That's it, I want

to know who's the best.

Let's do it.

Today was my day,

I was inspired. I was well.

I was awesome.

Dinor.

- Dinor?

- Yes.

Forget it.

You've been weird lately.

You're in the clouds.

But this time

Besouro screwed up.

I ain't going

to defend him.

I've always defended him,

but this time...

I ain't.

Do you think what

he's done is bad?

He is destroying everything

we are building.

Can't you see?

He's destroying everything.

I played Capoeira,

I said you were

in the clouds,

the colonel saw

and applauded me.

Me playing

and the colonel applauding.

Do you know

what that means?

He's rebuilding the market

and everybody can see it.

Only you don't see it.

Are you crazy, Quero-Quero?

Don't you know the colonel?

I'm getting

to know the colonel

slowly,

but Besouro...

- I don't know him anymore.

- This is not working.

For me, it's over,

do you understand?

Hold on, Dinor.

Don't do that to me.

It's over.

You're too stupid, Quero-Quero.

People are saying

the n*gger's got that...

shielded body.

Everybody is shielded

when the marksmanship is poor.

Everything that is closed

can be opened, colonel.

But it looks like I'm the one

who's going to open them.

Hi, Dinor.

- Why are you dressed like that?

- I came to see you.

And the colonel

summoned me.

Do I look good?

Came here, Dinor,

where are you going?

- I'm going to fetch oil.

- You are all oiled up.

- Let me go! Are you crazy?

- I'm crazy for you, Dinor.

I said it's over.

You look different.

You are prettier.

I knew you were around.

But you must be careful.

The colonel is furious

and he's looking for you.

I'm looking for him too.

Quero-Quero has

been weird lately.

The colonel summoned

him to the farm.

- What? Quero-Quero?

- Yes.

I put an end

to our relationship.

Where are you living?

At the old warehouse.

When we were kids

we made a mess

with molasses there.

- Remember?

- Yes.

That place is abandoned,

isn't it?

Do you want

to check it out?

- Get up, so you can fall again.

- You'll fall too.

Our master taught us...

how to get up.

To elude too.

All of this game.

I've learned

the swing of nature...

and I can knock you off.

Come.

Oxe.

Serve me some booze.

Are you deaf?

Give me another.

I'll serve the man

with the shielded body.

My body ain't shielded.

I know who does though.

They say nothing hurts

people with shielded bodies.

Tucum.

A knife made

of palm trees.

Tucum? I see.

I know where

to find that, Noca.

As long as you give the vulture

the right meat, it opens the beak.

They do say, when n*ggers

don't screw up on the way in,

they do it on the way out.

Aren't you going

to drink?

I have to get up

early tomorrow.

You'd better not drink

because liquor and black chicken

together make voodoo.

My late mother used to say

those people jump so much

because they have

spring knees.

I say they do

in order to carry loads

on their backs their whole lives.

I was waiting...

to talk to you.

I only talk to n*ggers

to order them around.

- Wait.

- Let go of me, damn it!

What's going on,

Quero-Quero?

Nothing.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Have you seen

Dinor lately?

Forget about Dinor.

She's mine!

You know she's mine!

- What's going on, brother?

- Brother, what brother?

Brother.

You've always envied me...

in everything.

You ain't better

than anyone around here.

You came to hide in the forest

with your tail between your legs

after what you've done,

right?

Isn't it?

Didn't you come here to hide?

Isn't it?

You ain't better

than anyone around here!

You ain't better

than anyone in anything!

- Anything!

- Stop that.

- Stop that.

- Don't touch me!

Have you lost your mind,

Quero-Quero?

You've always feared me,

haven't you? Isn't it so?

Fly, Besouro.

People say you can fly now.

Fly for me to see.

Fly here on top of me.

You allowed them

to get Chico.

You allowed them

to kill our master!

If you can accomplish

this blow, Besouro,

it can became

your imprint.

Did you accomplish it,

Manoel?

I'm going to leave...

otherwise I'll

regret what I'll do.

In the name of the Father,

the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen.

Our Father, which art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name...

You may enter.

Colonel.

That's what I heard.

I think

it may have been him.

- Who? Besouro?

- Why not?

Besouro has never

killed anyone.

What's wrong, kid?

Besouro?

Besouro?

What is it?

The colonel is coming

after you.

I know, Dinor.

The time has come.

Go, Dinor,

get out of here.

Run!

Whenever the sun

is on one side,

another one

will be in the dark.

Is that voodoo, n*gger?

- No, sir.

- No?

A really good

Capoeira fighter

walks within the shadows

to go unnoticed.

Don't look at me that way.

Apologize.

- Apologize.

- Let Go of me.

- Hold her down.

- Coward! Coward,

let Zulmira go.

We won't put up

with that anymore.

Hold him down.

Hold him!

I'm going to break

his knee caps.

Hold him down.

- Let go of him.

- Let's break his knee caps.

- You coward!

- Hold him.

Chico!

Chico, my friend!

Oh, Chico!

Chico, are you alright?

Are you alright?

- Come. Everything is fine.

- Careful with your leg!

What are we going to play?

"Colonel against Besouro."

You are the colonel

and I'm Besouro.

Then I'm going to kill you.

My name is Besouro.

Get up to fall down again.

I don't want

to play anymore.

I'll only play

if I'm Besouro.

- Let's play.

- Only if I'm Besouro.

- Let's play.

- No.

The colonel always loses

and he is the bad guy.

Pedro, Pedro.

Pedro!

Mom's gone out.

Where did she go?

I asked where did she go!

You'd better

get out of here.

Don't turn your back on me.
