Era uma Vez Brasília (2017) - full transcript

Hey, what’s up?

Not much.

Is there a brother of those
you could give me?

Can I come closer? - You can.

It’s so fucking cold today.

It is.

Can I come closer? - You can.

I’m not pushing it too far, am I?

No, you’re not crazy.

I ain’t.

You come here often?



I see you here all the time.

And so, what’s up? - Nothing.

Just shooting the shit.

You come here often?

Almost everyday.

I live over there.

I mean, I hide over there.
- Over there?

Yeah.

And then you just hang around.
You doing the runs?

I don’t like talking much.

When I talk no one puts faith,
they already shot at me with a 22.

I come here often because...

I see things here.

Things that no one else believes
in, but I see them.



I see them too.
- What do you mean?

They go over there and make noise.

I see it all. - For real?

I also thought I was going crazy.

And then you keep coming here?

I come here always when I want
to hide from the radar.

What do you mean?
- I was arrested.

I killed a guy.

I had drunk them all. It was New year’s
eve. I woke up hungover like a horse.

I went to the market.
I had a soup. As I was

coming back,
I ran into some friends of mine.

They took me to the bar to play snooker.

I was playing snooker with my friend.
When a guy came and grabbed my ass.

I wasn’t thinking,
I hit him in the face with the

cue stick. It struck him
here on the front vein.

He started bleeding, fell down and died.

Did you know Corina?

No.

She killed a politician,
one of those big ones, a guy up high.

He owned cattle and factories,
he had many industries in Golás.

Inmates talk...

The other women used to talk about her
when I was in jail.

They said she used to be a prostitute.

That she went out with that
guy and he wouldn’t pay her.

And so she killed him over
there, do you know

that chop shop between
sector O and Ceilândia?

She killed him right there.

She cut his head off,
opened him up inside, put his head

right in, sowed him up,
and then she set him on fire.

Then she walked away as if
it was nothing with her.

But then there are always the
snitches, always those who

can’t shut up.
You know what I’m talking about, right?

They called the police,
they gave her description. And

she was arrested right in
the center of Ceilândia.

She took a stint of 22 years in jail.
She died inside.

Before she died,
she gave me a set of coordinates.

As soon as I got out, I went straight
to those coordinates.

There I found a diary and
some of her documents.

Do you still have them?

I was told to give them to the drifter.

She told me about him.

That a drifter would come,
an intergalactic warrior, from her planet.

But her planet’s name,
I can’t remember right now…

I only know his name, W.A.
Do you know about him?

Good morning.
Your excellency, President of the

Federal Supreme Court,
Ricardo Lewandowski,

Your excellency, President of the
Federal Senate, Renan Calheiros.

Your excellencies, the Senators,

and Citizens of my beloved Brazil.

On the 1st January 2015,

I was sworn in for
my second term as

President of the Federal
Republic of Brazil.

I was elected by winning more than
54 million of the popular vote.

On my inauguration speech...

W.A.4, can anyone hear me?

Ship remainders, everything burning,
a lot of smoke, can anyone hear me?

Are you sure it was here?

I came here earlier, it could be here.

The fog is getting stronger, there is
a lot of smoke, can anyone hear me?

We are on the coordinates,
can anyone hear me?

It is not the National Congress.

I repeat.
It is not the National Congress.

In the past,
in Latin America and in Brazil,

every single time that interests pertaining
to the economic and political elites

was threatened by the popular vote,
and there was no juridical reason

or a legitimate impeachment, those elites
conspired to perpetrate political coups.

The President Getúlio Vargas was
subject to a relentless persecution,

the hideous plot orchestrated
by the so-called Republic of the Galeão,

which led him to suicide.

The President Juscelino Kubitscheck,
who built this city,

was victim to continuous and
failed attempts towards his overthrowing.

President João Goulart,
a defender of democracy,

of the worker’s rights,
and of social reform,

overcame a parliamentary coup
only to later be deposed.

His deposition marked the beginning
of the military dictatorship in 1964.

For 20 years,
we lived under the law of silence

and democracy was swept
away from our country.

Today, once again,
as the interests of the

economic and political
elites were contradicted

and fought against by
the popular vote, we face

once again the risk of
a democratic rupture.

The constitution is invoke to
serve the needs of a world of appearances

which cynically overshadows
the world of facts.

The evidence presented makes it clear
and beyond doubt

that the charges against me
are nothing but pretexts,

disguised under a thin juridical rhetoric.

Who are those over there?

The rushers.

Cool.

It looks like a rebellion
started over there, look.

I am Wellington Abreu.

I come from a planet
called Karpenstahl,

which in your language
means the rising sun.

There I invaded someone else’s
land, with the aim of

building a house for my mother,
my wife and my daughter.

I was arrested.

I haven’t seen my daughter ever since.

Then, all of a sudden, an order came.

If I took the mission,
my mother, my daughter

and my wife would be
given a house to live in.

It was a social project they had,
to give houses to everyone.

I had never heard of anything like that,
but I accepted right away.

They threw me inside a ship
and launched me into space.

My mission was to get to Earth,
Brazil, Brasillia,

and to kill the President of the
Republic, Juscelino Kubitcheck.

Wellington Abreu, planet Sol Nascente,
constellation 27, can anyone hear me?

Under the roar of
celebration of 21 artillery

fires and the chords
of the national anthem,

the President of the Republic
has hoisted the Brazilian flag

in the Three Powers Square.

That flag that will watch
over the skies of Brasilia

symbolizes a country that
today became greater.

My thoughts are now with
the new generations,

who will reap the fruits of our hard labor,
who will stand on a new Brazil,

a Brazil fulfilling of its true destiny.

Today’s date doubly marks
the history of Brazil.

The glorious invocation of our past is now
joined by the odyssey of the construction

of this new capital,
which we inaugurate today.

We thus salute in one gesture the past
and the future of our homeland,

through two events that are united
by their resilience towards a shared goal:

the desire to make Brazil affirm itself
as an independent nation.

My vote is for the end of the criminal
faction of Lula and the Workers’ Party,

yes, for the end of the
lazy Workers’ Union (CUT),

yes, against CUT and its marginal,

I celebrate Lava Jato, the Republic of
Curitiba and my flag will never be red!

Yes, President! PSB Paraná votes Yes.

On behalf of Cascavel,
on behalf of the West of Paraná,

on behalf of the northeast,
on behalf of Campos Gerais,

on behalf of my voters,
more than 150.000 voters, of the

people of Paraná and the people of
Brazil, my vote is Yes.

PMBD Paraná votes Yes.
Total: 66 votes.

João Arruda from PMDB. Esteemed President,
this is a juridical and political process.

The will of the people of Paraná has
weighed in, as much as the will of my party.

For the admissibility of the process that
continues its progress through the Senate

and awaits final ruling from the
Federal Senate, my vote is Yes.

PMDB Paraná votes Yes.
Total: 67 votes.

Yes: 67 votes. No: 22 votes.

Today is the day when Brazil regains hope.

For the people of Paraná,
for all the Brazilians,

and for the Brazil we all
want, my vote is Yes.

Yes has a total of 68 votes.

68 to 22.

Now the deputy of PSB.

The people of Paraná call for a Yes vote.

So that we keep listening to the voices
on the streets, my vote is Yes.

PSB Paraná votes Yes
Total: 69 votes.

Luciano Ducci, from PSB.

On behalf of the people
of Paraná and the people

of Curitiba,
for a fair and decent country,

we will never give up on Brazil.
Impeachment, yes!

Long live Brazil! Long live Curitiba!

Luciano Ducci, PSB Paraná, votes "Yes".

Total: 70 votes.

Luiz Carlos Hauly, from PSDB.

On behalf of the Brazilian people,
on behalf of my love for this country,

on behalf of the people of Paraná,
of Curitiba, Londrina, Cambé, Rolândia,

Arapongas and Ibiporã,
who from my electoral basis,

and knowing that this government
does not have a parliamentary majority,

and in any parliament of the world when
the government does not have a majority,

it does not have the grounds to govern.

In Europe they overthrow governments
who do not have a majority,

and on behalf of the liability crimes
committed by President Dilma,

and on behalf of the
crimes she committed

against our country,
my vote is Yes for Brazil.

PSDB Paraná votes "Yes".
Total: 71 votes.

I am a ruralist deputy and
I defend the interests of the agribusiness,

so on behalf of Paraná, and on behalf of
the development of Brazil, my vote is Yes.

PR Paraná votes "Yes".
Total: 72 votes.

Osmar Serraglio, from PMDB.

Esteemed President, on behalf of the
honest country, we all dream of and desire,

on behalf of a country
freed from corruption,

freed from Mensalão,
freed from Petrolão,

on behalf of what we want
for our beloved Paraná,

the state of the federal
judge Sérgio Moro,

on behalf of my beloved
Umuarama, I vote Yes.

I am lost.

I ran out of supplies.

The right motor has stopped.

The left motor is stopping.

The battery has died.

I also have no more cigarettes.

Andreia Vieira, police check.

Your ID.

What is your ID number?
- 2071318.

Sign here.

Is there a jail in your planet?
Have you been arrested?

What is your name? - Andreia.

I come from space.

Did you meet Corina there?

No.

She was my only contact in the ship.

The judge always came for me.

Always, always, he always came for me.

I always took my children with me,
so that he saw I had four children,

and even like that he put me inside.

That guy I killed,
he grabbed my ass… He was the

one who started things...
And I got sent to jail.

Everyone else that day got absolved.

People who had done...

Did you hear that? - I did.

I think they know where we are.

Do you know this place well?

They always know where we are.

Hat judge was after me. My lawyer
even started a process against him.

But all my requests were always overruled.

Always overruled.

In cases like mine,
people do their time on the street.

If he had given me 6 months less,
I would have done my time at home.

But he wouldn’t give me 6 months.
He made me do my time inside.

He said there was no
way he could let me go,

that there was too much
evidence against me.

And so he sent me in,
as if I were a piece of nothing.

Move away from the staircase. Come.

Come, don’t go down the stairs.
Come with me.

Come play over here.

They come get us,
we go to your grandfather’s.

Take that out,
let me go take a look at Iago.

Careful, baby.

But, if we do it like that,
don’t we have to leave very early, mom?

Hugo isn’t doing anything.

Ask him, love, come on.

I am waiting for the guards to do the
rounds and Âtila is busy doing the dishes.

Everyone is busy. Hugo, give your brother
some juice, see what he wants?

I was saying, once I was playing soccer,
and some other woman struck me.

When I got home my foot was hanging down.
My mo put it back in place.

She told me she had
warned me not to go play.

Geez...
- And I had already had you...

Really?

Yeah, I was already a mother and I
still got a spanking from my own mother.

I had you very young, son,
I was only sixteen... It was hard.

At that time, when I was out, and I
already had the four of you, it was hard,

but when they put me in isolation
and I spent ten days there,

that’s when I realized that everything
I thought was bad could get worse.

Marquim, are you ready brother?

Marquim, that is the rule.

Cocktail Molotov.

Guindart 121.

Envy kills. It corrodes your mind,

and happiness doesn’t make you happy.

It’s an eye for an eye,
a tooth for a tooth,

it’s the lead we trade,
it’s a bullet on the target,

that is revenge, that is
revenge, that is revenge,

there is always a snitch, that is revenge,

that is revenge, that is revenge.

And his world ends with a hole.

That is revenge, yes,
there is no way to deny,

you break neck, when I walk by, and
happiness doesn’t make you happy,

traitors in the corner, coward on call,

who knows us is aware,
we are peace soldiers,

but don’t push it too
far, never stay under,

it is not for money that we kill,
but 121 is the rule,

you will get fucked in revenge,

your end is premeditated,

envy kills, you better believe me bro,

who wants to have more than they have,
has to do to deserve it,

from Chrysler to Kawasaki.

I’m a motherfucker socialite,
fast on the tongue,

121 is blowing up,

the snitch is looking out,
waiting for me to go down,

he only sees what I have,
he doesn’t see what I do,

my rush, my rap, my life, bro.

I have already seen many tough guys
crying and getting high,

in click and clack, the smoke of a joint,

crazy psycho with a hole on the back,
121 fast thief,

the good bandit runs
desperate up the favela.

Again, he looks at what justice has done,

it put us behind bars, profane coward,

he put the child’s smile,
in an American outdoor,

even as is,
the good bandit goes on as he can,

at home, waiting, holding a gun or not,
the good bandit is never searched,

because no one is an animal,
except for the guilty charged.

Attention users, this is the last train
to the terminal Ceilândia.

Synchronizing. Alpha satellite.

Sending a message. Transmission 1,2.

Cosmic synchrony. Transmission.

Initiating transmission.

Testing transmission. Everything OK?

Alpha satellite.

Welcome.

Welcome, fighters.

This is the 27th Intergalactic Championship
of Ceilândia.

Transmitted live by the alpha satellite.

A cosmic concession to all the galaxies and
planets watching you live tonight.

Him, who’s a conditional,
representing his ward

here tonight.
He has been on this arena before.

And he’s back for this 27th Championship.

He has chosen his adversary.

The fight has begun.

Carcamano throws him down.

The fight starts hot.

And the fight doesn’t stop.

Caracamano has lost his sword.

Stand down!

At ease!

Warriors.

I have chosen you… meticulously.

You, you, you...

You, all of you.

The enemy is on the streets,
the monsters are everywhere.

In the Congress,
in the Ministries, in the Palace.

The Congress shall be ours.

The Ministries, it must all be ours.

Here we have only the best,

the most capable.

I am certain that when the war comes
no one will turn yellow.

We are a strong,
united and organized people.

The enemy is among us,
and it plots in the dark.

It sends messages and
packages during the night.

The enemy says “I shall give thou”
but it doesn’t give us shit.

We must capture them.

What’s it looking like?

Right on plan.
We are following the coordinates.

Go easy, motherfucker.

Brother… I think this car is bugged.

They find us every time.

For real. They always know where we are.

Do you have another one
of those I could borrow?

I found one.

Tonight the night will be long, man...

And it’s fucking cold...

Cold was last week...

What’s it looking like up there, Franklin?
- It’s easy, man.

Hey W... - It’s all clear.

Where did you come from, you were saying?
- Kaspenthal.

How is it in that neighbourhood?

It’s like over here.

What do you mean, just like
this, just like the hood? - Yeah.

The lot over there reminded me of my own.

I invaded a lot over there
and I got arrested. They

called me everything, delinquent,
lunatic, gang leader...

They sent me to... - Hey!

Listen up.

The three of us awake, we will get
tired fast and they’ll snatch us up.

I’m going to get some shut-eye.
Do you feel me?

Brother, it’s the rule... I’m going to
doze off and the two of you stay awake.

I’ll sleep for like half an hour.

Hey, look out.

Listen up. It’s coming closer...

Is it him? - That’s him.

I think it’s him, go after him.

Get in on, Franklin.

I think it’s him. - It’s him.

Go W, go, go, get it right, W.

There you go...

It’s him. Move closer, go, go,
go closer, W. Closer, motherfucker.

C’mon Franklin, let’s knock him out.
Go, go, go!

Everyone, watch out.

We should have got him here, man, here we
would have surrounded him. Right here...

But the guy is gone...

Go in there. He’s gone, he’s gone. Did you
see where he went? Did he go up or down?

Take a turn, take a turn.
Fuck we lost him again.

Take a turn, take a turn.
Take it easy, careful.

Go, go, go.

Where should I stop?
- You can go. Go, go, go.

Stop.

Fuck, we lost him...
- Watch out, get ready, we’ll find him.

See if he went that way.

Get ready, get ready.

I think he’s hiding around here.
Look over there.

Fuck, but let me tell you,
you are slow, motherfuckers...

We were so close to him.

Franklin, why the fuck didn’t
you pull the gun on him?

I couldn’t get a clear shot.

Fuck, you are some slow motherfuckers.
We spent three days waiting for this guy…

And when he comes you both go for him
like some lazy motherfuckers...

And so, who’s going out to charge the car?
Fill the tires, bro, 30/30, go.

32 is better, no?

30, man, 30.

Isn’t 30 too low? The car is heavy.

Yeah, fill in with 32, engineer.

Hey man...

Put 32 on the back and...
- 32 on the back, engineer.

One of you has a lighter?

The tires are empty,
the ship is all to the side.

It’s floating. It’s to the side.

Attention, we now initiate the broadcast
of National Television Network

or the official pronouncement of the
President of the Republic, Michel Temer.

Good evening everyone.
I undertake the presidency of Brazil

after a democratic and transparent
decision by the National Congress.

This is a moment of hope,
a moment to regain confidence in Brazil.

The uncertainty is over.
This is a time to unite the country.

It is a time to place
the country’s interests

over the interests of
certain groups of people.

That is our flag.

I am aware of the magnitude and weight of
the responsibility I carry on my shoulders.

My commitment is towards re-establishing
the strength of our economy

and to put Brazil back on track.

This belief sustains the
foundations of our government.

And... Many months ago,
ten, twelve months, when I

was still Vice-President,
we released a document

titled “A Bridge Towards the Future.”

At the time we were aware
that it was impossible for the

government to keep itself on
the track it had set for itself.

And we even suggested to the
previous government to adopt the theses

that we outlined in that document titled
“A Bridge Towards the Future.”

Since that did not work, and the measures
were not adopted, process was initiated

which culminated now with my formal
inauguration as President of the Republic.

Brazil has just finished traversing
a long and complex process

ruled and conducted by
the National Congress

and by the Brazilian Supreme Court.

That process has culminated in the
impeachment of Madam President Dilma.

Everything was conducted, I must say, with
the utmost respect for the Constitution.

We have given an example to the
world, shown that

there is no democracy
without the rule of law,

and without applying the rule of law to
everyone, including the most powerful.

That is what Brazil shows to the world.

And it does so through a process of
depuration of its political system.

We have an independent
judicial system, a

Public Prosecutor’s
Office that is vigilant,

and executive and legislative courts
that fulfill their duties.

The strength of institutions prevails
against personal interests,

under the attentive look of a plural
society and an entirely free press.

Our task now is to
reinstate economic growth

and to give back to Brazilian workers
the millions of jobs they lost.

We are certain of the
path we need to follow.

It is the path of fiscal responsibility.
It is the path of fiscal responsibility.

Trust is being re-established, and
the sun is rising again on the horizon.
