- Santinha.
You're pregnant, aren't you, Santa?
You're gonna help get this plague out of me.
I'll go. But not because anyone is telling me to.
Blessings, mother.
False testimony is one of the most appalling sins
that a citizen can commit.
I'd like to ask for your permission to be with this girl.
It's come to my attention that you know the whereabouts
of that blind motherfucker.
Everywhere I went, I saw one of these.
WANTED - LAMPEÃO GOVERNMENT WILL PAY $8000
Ah!
A colleague of mine who was there said
the cangaceiros won't last another three days.
Silvério Batista sent a bunch of riders after Lampião.
- I'm telling you to go home, dammit! - Ah!
Maria?
Maria? Hey.
Mrs. Amadina!
Here.
Mrs. Amadina, help!
- I'm coming, Jacinto. - Help her!
Help her! Come!
Get Virgulino in Canindé.
No way! I'm not going to leave you.
Please go. Just get him.
- No! - Go! Hurry, you bastard!
- It's all right. - Go away! Go!
Hi-yah!
Our life, hail, our sweetness and our hope, to thee do we cry,
poor banished children of Eve.
To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping
in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate thine eyes of mercy toward us.
Shit, I'll double.
You want to ruin your friends? Doubling, doubling.
I want to speak with the Captain!
It's Jacinto, Maria's relative.
Calm down, man. Did something happen to Santinha?
Silvério Batista is coming this way with a bunch of men.
- And Maria is giving birth right now. - Santinha?
Let's go! Get everything together and let's go!
Push.
UNPUBLISHED PHOTOS OF LAMPEÃO, MARIA BONITA, AND THEIR GANG
MARIA, THE OUTLAW LEGEND
I am going to kill the greasy soul who warned those fuckers!
Who was it?
Motherfuckers.
- Bunch of cuckolded bastards. Lieutenant! Lieutenant!
Lieutenant, we found this son of a bitch.
Send him to hell?
Let's take this whore's son.
He might be of some use to us.
I… I didn't do nothing, sir.
- grunts, groans] - Push. Push.
The baby is stuck.
Easy.
Everything will be all right.
Santinha…
This woman is my life, ma'am.
I hope that… I beg you to take care of her.
- We'll take care of her. - You do everything for her.
It's crowning!
It's out!
Wow. God bless.
Look.
What's her name, honey?
I think... she doesn't have a name yet.
She looks like a naughty little girl.
Expedita.
Expedita is the right name for her.
- Let's go inside. - We won't stay long.
Even animals give rest to those who just gave birth, you ass.
Come on, Maria.
Idiot.
She's heavy…
You're here, little one!
- Auntie! - Hi.
Was the little boy born?
It's a girl like you.
She's a little cutie. Just like me.
"Like you." Like hell.
Go in, Maria.
Let's get moving, Santinha.
She was just born, man.
Do you realize the danger?
If you want her to live, leave her with your mom.
- Is there no other way? - No, there's no other way.
It'll be better for her.
No child of mine will lack anything.
If you need anything, just send for more.
Yes, sir.
Make sure Expedita remembers whose blood she has.
She's the child of Maria and Virgulino.
God protect you, child.
Amen, Mother.
Hey, the Captain's back!
Whoa!
Little Bird!
Thanks be to God!
Hail Mary, I was so worried about you I didn't even sleep, woman.
- The baby stayed with your mom, huh? - Lourdes…
- was worried about you. - Hey!
Hey, my babies.
- She's so skinny. - No, she's not.
She is. Guarani has a rash here.
Isn't Volta Seca taking care of them?
Where is that bastard?
No one's heard from him, Maria.
Ever since we ran away from Batista, he's disappeared.
How old were you when you joined the gang, kid?
I was about to turn 11.
And what's the reason for becoming a criminal?
When I lost my mother, six months after, more or less, my father brought some lady
to live with us
and she always mistreated me and my sister.
So I left with the mule.
That's when I met Maria de Lampião.
Best person in this world. She gave me shelter and she gave me food.
What do the women do in the gang?
If you'll allow me,
the Captain doesn't like it to be called a gang.
It's a group.
Maria takes care of everything, everyone.
- Maria, Lampião's wife? - Yes.
We're so close that she's about to give birth.
And I'm going to be the godfather. Maria knows how to do everything.
She can ride, shoot, sew, read, and write backward and forth.
There's nothing in this world she hasn't read.
She is the best shooter there.
And the second best is me.
So you're telling me a woman is the leader of the gang?
Yes.
Yeah!
Don't listen to this clueless kid.
She's just a stupid whore who doesn't even know how to drink.
The interview is over.
- No, I have more questions… - Enough!
Come on, you liar. Take him.
I know what you're feeling.
I feel a lump in my chest.
Sometimes, I dream.
But I'm not asleep, I'm still awake.
You could pass the command onto Corisco and Zé Bispo.
We could take Expedita and go out into the world.
That's not our path, Santa.
I have my obligations.
It's not in my nature to leave the group destitute in any way.
And me?
And our baby? You don't think about her?
No?
What's this?
Let's see a doctor.
It's just this damn dry air.
It's seems to roast your throat.
You'll be fine.
- You hear me? - It's not anything, Santa.
By God, it's Jacinto.
Mrs. Déa's godson and a relative of Maria. Isn't that right?
That's me, sir. How can I help?
I need a little information.
I don't know where they are. I swear to you.
It's not their whereabouts I want to know about.
It's their child's.
I don't know anything.
I swear it to Jesus Christ.
Let's open that mouth, shall me?
Mm?
Otherwise I'll have to…
do something unfriendly.
I'll…
cut your eye out.
No! No! No…
- No! - What's the problem?
What's the problem?
You'll still have the other one.
How about I cut off your ear.
Huh?
You will still be able to hear, no? Won't you? Huh?
What about your throat?
I don't think that's fair.
That's not fair.
You only have one, right?
Easy... Easy... Easy.
I'm kidding.
Should we do it this way? Let's talk.
Here.
That's Volta Seca.
The news isn't good.
SEPTEMBER 22, 1932 A BOY FROM LAMPEÃO'S GANG CAPTURED
You miss the little girl, don't you?
The poor thing hasn't even been baptized.
We can have that arranged.
- Are you serious? - Of course!
Is that something to joke about?
Go! Go!
- Afternoon, ma'am. - Afternoon.
Tell Maria it's going to be at Coronel Firmino Breves' farm.
All right.
Would you like to see the baby?
No need, ma'am.
Go! Go! Go! Go, go, go!
Go! Hey!
Aren't you afraid of jaguars?
I'm not.
I'm afraid of misery. I'm afraid of all this dryness out here.
I could make it rain, if you'd like.
You must've caught rat disease. What's the matter with you, man?
They haven't told you, huh? I'm a magician.
You're a charlatan. That's it-- That's what you are.
Then I'll have to show you.
Close your eyes.
Come on. Are you scared?
Close your eyes.
I can also teach you if you want me to.
Come here.
I know someone who…
would love to meet Dita. Volta Seca, right?
Yes.
Take this.
Tie it to your chest so it smells like you.
Give it to her at bedtime.
Thank you.
1 MONTH LATER OCTOBER 1932
And you could learn just like I learned.
Drawing water from the well.
Hunting lizards, cutting mandacaru.
Being people like us.
Or we could live a different way,
instead of wandering around like vagabonds.
A little house, the three of us.
A farm…
a big chicken coop.
I've lived like this since I was a boy, Santinha. I don't know any other way.
We made this life.
We can make another one.
It was easy. Thank God, everything went well.
Watch yourself, my boy. Hm?
The baptism has barely started and you can't even stand straight.
Do you think Virgulino will appreciate that?
- Fuck him. - For God's sake.
Go, go!
Hup. Hup.
The Captain has arrived!
Oh! My good friend.
Brother!
How are you, brother?
I'm so glad to see you.
Hey, little goat!
You've grown.
Come, come.
Ooh… …Ooh!
Hi, baby.
Hi. Hey!
Yes…
that's right.
Let me see you.
Wow. Hey!
- You're chubby! - Come inside?
Sure.
Hello.
Praise be to our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Praise be to him forever. - Good morning, everyone.
- Good morning. - Morning!
Today we celebrate the rebirth and seal of life of our little Expedita,
who today becomes
one more who will walk beside…
…the baptism…
With this baptism, we once again renew our covenant with God.
And may this Sacrament…
…strengthen us as God's people.
How embarrassing, Jacinto. I already warned you.
It's like you don't know who Expedita's father is.
I'm sorry.
You have to forgive me.
It wasn't my fault.
What wasn't your fault?
I couldn't bear it.
What are you talking about, Jacinto?
Silvério.
Silvério said he was going to kill you, DonDon, and Amália.
Forgive me.
Dear Mother of God, man.
Oh, Jacinto…
With your permission, Captain.
What is it, Déa?
Forgive me, sir, but…
- my boy did something stupid. - What did your boy do?
Silvério, Captain.
Silvério… Silvério is coming.
P… Please forgive him, for God's sake.
Forgive…
Santinha! Let's go, Santa!
- Oh, you son of a bitch! - Lampião!
Move, Santinha!
Motherfucker!
Take this, you bastard!
Santa!
- Lampião! - Let's go, Santinha!
Dammit! Son of a bitch!
They hit my leg!
Come back, you son of a bitch!
That's it. Let's go.
It just grazed.
You'll be fine.
You wanted that baptism so badly.
In the middle of all that chaos, all I could think about was Dita.
She's not safe, man.
Yes.
How's it feel, you piece of shit?
Having fun, you rat?
Scream, you piece of shit!
Here you go, you motherfucker.
Come on, snitch.
Let's go!
C'mon!
Here, Captain.
Get up. Get up!
I beg you. It wasn't my fault.
I had no choice.
Death is the only fate for snitches, Captain.
He was going to kill everyone in the house.
I swear to you, Captain!
You dug your own grave, you traitor.
In the name of Father Cícero!
I beg you, Maria!
The law has to apply, no matter who it is.
If you let him go, Captain, who's to say he won't betray you again?
Why didn't you come talk to me?
Isn't Maria your relative?
- You fucking coward. - I made a mistake.
Ah, you did.
But I was able to fix my mistake in time.
Isn't that worth something?
Send him away, but don't kill him.
A man with two faces deserves no mercy, Santa.
Batista is our enemy. Not this kid, man.
Hey, Ze, come here.
Heat up the iron.
Jacinto did his part to avoid a bigger tragedy.
Hold him.
No, no! No! No!
Come on, boy.
No! No! No!
No!
- No! No! - Move, kid.
No! No!
- No… no… - Come on, man!
No, no.
No! No! No! No!
No!
No! No! No! No!
IN THE NEXT EPISODE
He needs to go somewhere to rest.
Look for a quiet place, give up smoking, and settle down for a bit.
What's the reason for your visit?
Mrs. Federalina, we need your help.
You would buy the land in your name, but with our money.
Did you know that the governor just raised the price on Lampião's head?
I've never been a fearful woman.
And my cousin is there now to sort everything out with the owner
and he'll be here soon to sign the paperwork.
Until those papers are signed, no one leaves this place.
Something's strange here.
Maybe you could clear it up for me.
