Kill him, Raphael!

Kill him - let's go!

When you watch this video...

I'll probably be dead.

The police are after me

because I've got something very

valuable to a powerful politician.

But I'm not going to give it up.

They'll have to come get me.

I was afraid before - not now.

I'm going to finish what

Jose Angelo started.

I found something for us.

I found something for us.

What?

I'll show you later.

The boss is an ass

paying less because I'm a kid.

I said I had something good, right?

Smell the cash.

Knock it off.

See this? It's yours.

What about the rest?

Trust me.

All right, go and change this.

Hurry up.

Throw this away.

Don't be crazy.

See you at the church.

I want my money back!

Mad man.

Jose Angelo.

The Animal Lottery...

Congressman Santos...

This can't happen during my election.

Get it out of him.

We want the money and the book.

Tell me.

What was in the wallet?

Nothing.

Don't worry, I know how to fix this.

After we finish, we'll eat.

Fourteen?

The name... of the animal.

Hey, Gardo.

Check this out.

Some good chicken.

You spent all our money?

Such a dick.

Come on, let's get Maria to cook it up.

Good food tonight, guys!

A friend has lost something important.

He'll pay everyone R$20 to help find it.

We know it's here.

Hey - don't drop it..

Gardo, watch out.

Taking pictures? Take one of me.

Strike a nice pose.

What's going on?

We're looking for something.

A wallet.

It was lost, we need to find it.

Any reward for it?

How much?

R$1000.

What's your name?

Gardo.

And you?

Raphael.

How old are you?

14, too.

You always answer for your boyfriend?

If he is or isn't, that's

not your business...

Cool?

So why do the police give a damn?

The wallet is important.

Very important.

It's a clue to solve a crime, get it?

I get it.

Will you be here tomorrow to help me?

Of course.

Good boy.

How did you pay for this?

Like I always say...

Never trust a policeman.

Police treat poor people like trash.

Everyone knows that.

Except this dumbass here.

So tomorrow we work and get our R$20-

then hand in the wallet

and claim the R$1000.

Easy-

Why not?

I don't believe a word of it.

You're crazy - he's cool.

What's your problem?

R$1000 fora wallet? He's

after something else.

Like what?

This guy.

That's just some guy.

Tomorrow the wallet might be worth R$2000.

You never know.

I don't know if I'm crazy

or just too persistent.

You're persistent all right.

Where are we going?

Rat's place.

Not Rat!

He smells, man.

He's our only option.

Why Rat?

No-one will look there.

You're paranoid.

You let the cop take photos...

and told him our names.

You're an idiot.

And you have chicken poo in your head.

No I don't.

Do.

Do not.

Look at the rats - Jesus!

I'll be waiting here.

Rat!

Do us a favour?

What?

Keep something for us?

The police are looking for it...

Where's the cash?

What cash?

No deal then, sh*t for brains.

Ok, we spent it.

No money and you want help?

What's in it for me?

There's a reward.

How much?

R$50.

Stay out of it, jerk.

Let's go, he's a dick.

I'll give you a cut.

An even cut?

There's no point - let's go.

I bet this is what they're after.

I know what it opens.

Tell me.

Equal cut?

People don't like me at the dump.

I'm the sewer kid.

It's my disease...

What can you do?

We have to follow the Rat - come on!

How do we get past the cops?

Where's he taking us?

That way. Get in there...

What are you doing back here?

Got to go in...

Who's there?

Who's there?

My friends.

You setting me up?

You're vermin. You don't have friends.

Go, Cockroach. Check them out.

Who's that guy?

If you want to get through, I need money.

Not enough - I need more.

Boss wants to know why you're here.

The boss? Let me talk to him.

Shut up.

Maybe I'll take this ear.

It's way too big.

Get me a knife.

We can make a deal.

He's messing with your friend.

I brought it for you - a present.

Let them through.

Got a problem?

You want to die?

How do you know that prick?

I used to work here.

No wonder you're a freak.

It opens a locker over there.

Give me the key.

Do you trust me?

We'll go together?

Christ, there are police everywhere.

Deal with it.

So - you're the boss now?

There's no boss here.

We've got to work together.

Fine - I'll handle it.

Where's he going?

God knows - he's your friend.

Shout! Shout!

Louder!

He's a genius!

Damn - only an envelope.

Suck on this, you racist a**holes!

Go after them!

Get 'em!

Open up!

What did you find?

How much?

Millions!

Take me with you!

What's up, boys?

Drinks are on me.

Are you crazy?

You scared me.

He told me to do my thing.

Where's the stuff?

"Deliver to Prisoner Joao Clemente"

"Cova Prison"

That's it?

Are we rich?

Who's that?

Jose Angelo.

It was a disaster...

Nearly killed for a letter!

It wasn't just a letter.

Raphael wanted to know more.

So he still needed me...

Because I'm the man -

the man with the plan.

The internet is slow.

So many links.

He was a lawyer.

Hurry, hurry!

Gabriel, are you hungry?

Activist - what's that?

He built lots of houses for the poor.

They stopped him.

Look at that.

He took to the streets.

More butter.

Then they put him in jail.

Something's not right.

Print! Print!

Bless me.

Butter?

Lettuce?

More cheese?

I found it! I found it!

No - back to work, punk.

Boy! Come here.

Everyone here?

Yes.

Do you know those boys, Raphael

and Gardo - they here?

They didn't come to work today.

So, the guy in prison is a serial killer.

And Jose Angelo buries the bodies.

None of that's written there.

You can't even read!

Pay me two bucks for playing my game.

He thinks I'm paying for it!

This game is sick.

Want to buy it?

How much?

R$800.

Give the wallet back and

we can buy the game.

Let me think about it.

Seriously, let's get that reward.

Not yet.

Let's talk to the prisoner first.

Not me.

I'll go on my own then.

Forget the guy in jail.

We give Rat R$500...

He'll take it.

The game's not worth more.

We rent it...

50 cents for 30 minutes

Look, I'm about to win!

Piece of sh*t - it's crashed.

You think he can help?

He's a priest!

You can't wake him up!

Wait here.

Raphael's been taken.

You should've taken me seriously.

Have you had dinner?

I don't want you messing up the car.

I'm looking for a boy.

Raphael Fernandes. Here's a photo.

We don't take minors here.

I know he's here.

No minors in here - this

is a police station.

Water?

I found...

R$300.

So you lied.

You did find something.

Find anything else?

Raphael...

Do you like rollercoasters?

What a joke.

Have some respect, old man.

He's with God now.

Want to know how Jose Angelo died?

Are you praying?

May God protect you.

Finish him.

What are you going to tell Santos?

You chickened out...

Santos can do his own dirty work.

I'm not working anymore.

Help!

There's a kid up here on the road!

If you found the wallet

the best plan is to get out of trouble

while you still have time.
