City of God Page #3

Look at the race.

Here is Blackie.|Full of gold.

Redhead. Nice wheels!|All of the dealers.

- All of them wealthy.|- Robberies are sh*t...

the big money is in drug dealing.

- Especially coke.|- Needs capital, though.

We will kill them|and take over.

- When do we start?|- Now!

The light of Satan|brought you here!

Why do you live in the City of God|that God has forgotten?

I know what you want.|You want power.

I have something that will give|you the power you're looking for...

that will change your fate.|I give you my amulet.

Just do not f***|while you wear it...

because you will die!

The kid will no longer be Kid|but Ze.

Little Ze grew up.

If you help me|I will help you.

In this way Kid became Ze|and started the killings.

One morning,|he took over Andriani's gang...

By nighttime, he ruled|all the ghetto gangs.

He did not harm Redhead|since he was Bennie's friend.

Only the hideout was left.|but it was an easy job.

Who is it?

F*** off, Kid. Why are you|barging into my hideout?

Since when is it your hideout?

Anything wrong Kid?

I am not Kid.|My name is Ze!

- You're dead, bastard!|- No, he understands.

It's all yours. I want nothing.|I don't want trouble.

I had to take vengeance|for my brother's death.

You are gonna live,|but you will work for us.

Easy to say.

- Where are you going?|- He's clean, Ze.

- What is your name?|- Rocket

Naive's brother.|Dead Naive's brother.

Go and tell everyone|that Ze is now in charge.

We are selling coke.|Got it?

Drug dealing is a job, too.

The supplier brings the merchandise|which is packed.

It's a supply chain.

Pot is wrapped.

coke is packed in 10s or 100s.

You can have a career as a drug dealer.

The kids start as messengers.

Then they do lookouts.

If the cops come|they all vanish.

Then you become a dealer.

In hard times|the dealer vanishes.

Growing up,|you become captain.

And if you are good at|maths, you become a manager.

Boss's right hand.

The cops get their cut|and stay out of it.

When Ze came,|all the rivalry stopped in the City.

You could go there.

Bohemian people bought|their dope safely.

Lots of people became addicts|and Ze became rich.

- Which one should I wear?|- This is cool.

If drug dealing were legal|Ze would be given an Oscar.

I thought that all these|guys were very dangerous.

However he was everywhere.

If I needed pot|I had to visit Redhead.

- Half a pound.|- Thanks.

It was worth it.|I smoked it with Angelica.

She had broken up with Siago|and so I made my move.

Fantastic photos.

Do I look good here?

You look good in all of them.

Twilight, an empty beach,|a long-lasting kiss...

That was it...

But the Shorties came...

Will you give me a spliff?

Here.

See you later.

- Your joint!|- Keep it!

First time I met|the Shorties.

Here, Benny. Steak and potatoes.

- This is for you.|- All of it? Thanks.

Do you want to have something to eat?

Can you change the time on the watch, please?

After he broke up, Siago|sniffed more and more everyday.

When you become an addict, |you're in the dealer's hands.

- Two bags of ten.|- One bag.

For Siago it was not like that.

- Sorry, godfather.|- Bullshit, did I baptise you?

Give me your bike,|Blackie.

Do you wanna race?

To the bus.

Ready? Go!

- Hard race.|- You're good.

- Where did you buy the trainers from?|- From the neighbourhood.

- And the shirt?|- From the City.

It is an expensive brand.

If I give you the money|will you buy me one?

Shorts and shirt?

Buy whatever you can.

- What is your size?|- Measure me!

- With what?|- With you!

Shoe number?|Turn around.

Benny! Did you get the goodies?

- Just a pair of trousers?|- There is more.

Do you like it?

- You have some change.|- Keep it.

This is Benny.

I became bohemian.

Gangsters, listen.|Beware...

Grooves are making moves|before the big boom.

F*** you, bastards!

Prick!

Redhead is placing|the ghetto in danger.

Go talk to him. You can't|just shoot everybody.

Don't worry,|the lads here are OK

I'm not worried!

Will you dance, Benny? What|happened to Redhead?

Go talk to him!

Benny was the coolest|gangster in the City.

He gave away dope,|paid for his drinks.

Ze was the opposite.|He was obsessed.

Wanted to become the big ghetto boss.

He was looking for the opportunity|to take over Redhead's gang.

Don't let the Shorties|rob the whole ghetto.

You mind your business|and I will mind mine.

I'm going for a drink.

How is it going, Rocket?

Siago, what's up?

Want to dance?

Can we go to your place?

My parents are not home.|we're gonna be alone.

Today you can|lose your virginity!

Don't shout!|Everyone will hear!

You're pretty.

It's OK.

I know you are related to|the Shorties.

Do you think I am stupid?|You want my gang?

I just want to talk to you.|You are useless!

The Shorties|are endangering us.

Ask them to cool down.

He lets them plunder|in his ghetto, the useless sh*t.

If police come here|we're f***ed.

I will do it because I like you.

Change his nappies!

Tell them that no-one|plunders in my ghetto!

The Shorties do not respect|the ghetto rules.

They steal from ordinary people|and rob bakeries.

You're stealing from me all the time!

However, they didn't know|the city had a new boss!

THANK YOU|FOR PREFERING US

The city has become safer|for the inhabitants.

Robberies are rare.

All you have to do is visit Ze.

- Do not touch Shorties|- I won't.

- Let's go for a walk|- Together?

Mom, I am going out|with my friends.

I have never tasted a better chicken!

- The old man was scared to death!|- You feel sorry for him?

Should we rob a bank|or a supermarket?

Bullshit. All the money|is in drug dealing.

You have to start as|a messenger.

It is no good. Takes too|much time to be promoted.

You have to wait for|an old guy to get killed.

I won't wait for anyone to| bite the dust. I'll do as Ze.

Are you talking about me, kid?|The boss is here.

Come back, you tramp!

They run fast!

Anyone else?

You're gonna pay for|the ones who ran away.

Shall I shoot you|in the arm or the leg?

- Choose.|- Hand or leg?

Choose, dammit!

- In the hand.|- In the hand, eh?

Let's see about you.|Kill one of them.

- I'll do it!|- Beat it! He's gonna do it.

Pick whom you'll kill.

- We don't have all day.|- Kill one of them.

Get over with it, Steak.

I want to see if you have the guts.

Well done! You did it!|You're one of us. Gimme five!

Get up, tramp.|Go back to your shithole.

Stop limping!

Tell your friends|no-one steals from Ze.

While Ze was earning the|respect of the locals...

Benny was winning|Angelica's heart.

I was still a virgin and broke.|I had no other choice...

THE LIFE OF A SUCKER

I found a job|in a supermarket.

I was working for just a few nickels.|I wanted to be fired...

to buy a camera|with the compensation.

But my fate was different.

The guy from the beach!|Do you still smoke?

Kid!|Pull your shirt.

Is this a thank you?

- What about my compensation?|- What compensation?

The f***ing manager|thought I participated.
