Macabro (2019) Movie Script
Second Command,
we've got eyes.
All clear so far, you may go on.
A woman opened up the window
on the third floor.
That's 55 yards from patrol.
It seems there's someone else
with her, Sarge.
There's a man, same window,
seems suspicious.
He came back inside, Sarge.
He's back and holding something.
I think he's got a gun.
Do you confirm?
Does he have a gun?
Unable to confirm, Sarge.
Tell them to pull back,
Corporal.
Cpl. 07, do you copy?
If you do copy, pull back.
Pull back, damn it!
The guy's armed, Corporal.
Son of a bitch,
he's gonna shoot us.
He didn't do anything.
Why this?
Murderers!
INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS
A FEW DAYS LATER
The last thing I wanted was
to go back to that place.
I was just a kid. I swore
I'd never come back.
But I was the only one at
BOPE who knew that people well.
I had no choice then.
Because of that shit that
happened in the favela,
I was forced to follow the
mission and face a past long buried.
But that was an
important mission to me.
Either I'd solve
the case,
or I'd have to face
an incompetent justice.
For a mistake that could
fuck with my life.
But the truth was I was already
fucked a long time ago.
Our mission was to capture two
punks hidden in the woods
accused of killing
at least five women.
The first one was called
Diana Gonalves.
She got strangled with
wire and then stabbed.
The second was a girl
who was only 11.
Her body was found
carbonized and decapitated.
A year ago, the third victim.
Severina Gonzaga was
seven months pregnant.
The baby was found
next to her.
The fourth victim, Ana Maria Torres.
She was stabbed over a hundred times.
All of them had one thing
in common: necrophilia signs.
They kill them
and then rape them.
MACABRE
The last attack happened here,
close to the waterfall.
One of the victims survived,
she was stabbed.
-She's in the hospital.
-What about the other ones?
These are the places
where the other bodies were.
We'll trace a perimeter from here.
And then start looking.
The community is talking about revenge,
people are leaving their houses.
-Those who stay are armed.
-What if we disarm them...
This will make things worse.
We must look confident
in our mission.
-How can we do that, Sarge?
-Killing the murderers already.
Rui. I'm the sheriff.
We spoke on the phone yesterday.
WANTED RAPIST MURDERERS
REWARD R$5,000
I'm really sorry
for your loss, Moema.
We'll need your help.
To identify
who did this to you.
Is that okay?
Was it them?
Let me go!
You can tell us, child.
Was it him, Moema?
Was there someone else with him?
You don't have
to be afraid, Moema.
So his brother, Matias,
wasn't with him?
-They were always together.
-Sheriff.
Let her talk.
Boys.
I think she needs some rest now.
How are you, darling?
It's only natural that
people are freaking out, son.
It's a very peaceful town
with very humble people.
-You know that, don't you?
-Did the boys go to church, Father?
They're not Catholic, are they?
We tried to help.
Who's "we"?
Son, the boys' father, Tio,
has changed a lot
since you left.
-Be careful around him.
-You don't have to worry.
Looking at you all serious,
you remind me of your mom,
Jussara, a lot.
Let's leave my mom
out of this, Father.
It wasn't your fault, son.
-You were so little...
-Father, I asked you a question.
Why don't you come
to the mass?
People will like knowing
that you're back.
-I'm not back.
-All right.
You'll always be welcome
at the Lord's house.
You must know that.
My children,
the Devil has chosen
our community to manifest
his evil.
He is here.
Not inside this house,
he's out on the loose.
Behind a tree,
around the corner of a road.
And what does he do
to demonstrate his strength?
He kills.
He kills.
Only the Lord's words and faith
can give us strength when the Devil
conspires against our community.
God's given me a mission.
To guide all of you
against Satan's actions
Who is going to save us
from the Devil?
I think you could talk to him.
I'll go.
Long time no see!
-How are you, Auntie?
-I'm good.
-I haven't heard from you.
-I've been working a lot.
I'm glad you came.
Everyone is so scared.
Pass by the farm
so we can talk calmly.
I've got to go.
Your uncle is waiting for me.
The boys' parents, Father,
they come to church?
They came here sometimes.
They wanted to get baptized.
But then they disappeared
and never came back.
Their father, once stole
a hen from my farm.
He cut its neck.
And he left it hanging
from a tree,
so its blood would drain out.
Voodooist negro.
Their father abused them.
They were really abused.
And then that happened.
What about the boys, Dora?
I haven't seen them
in a long time.
But they've suffered too much
with these people.
So did their father
and all of their family.
-Too much humiliation.
-They helped on the farm, you know?
The kids were hardworking.
What do you mean
"they helped"?
They asked for something in return
or they worked for free?
It's a pact with the Devil,
Teobaldo.
The Devil is tempting them.
You don't have to arrest them,
you should kill them.
Kill them.
People like to talk,
but no one's ever helped them.
People here don't forgive.
Am I free to go?
Yes.
What do you think about
this pact with the Devil stuff?
-There's no such thing.
-Yeah, right.
If you ask me,
God doesn't exist too.
Then why were all those people
praying at a church like that?
It's really easy to explore
people's fears.
You believe nothing, Sarge.
I believe there are good people
and bad people.
What the fuck is this, Sarge?
-Hi, Mrs. Elisa. These are...
-Where are my boys?
I'm Sergeant Teo.
Corporals Everson and Pedro.
We're from the Military
Special Ops, Mrs. Elisa.
Your kids are wanted, madam.
-Haven't you found them?
-They don't live here with you, correct?
They're just kids, mister, they
don't know what they're doing.
They're just kids.
-Ma'am, you must collaborate.
-I don't know where they are!
I haven't seen my boys
in a long time.
-How are you, Mr. Sebastio?
-Kill them all!
Kill these Goddamned boys.
Ma'am...
Was your husband
abusive to the kids?
Don't let them kill them.
We can keep it
from here, Plnio.
-Are you sure, Lcia?
-It's fine.
-Always go together, okay?
-Yes, Plnio.
Don't let her out of your sight.
-I got it.
-I got it, I'm taking her.
-Have you checked if it's loaded?
-Yeah, it is.
Go, otherwise you'll be
too out of your way.
Wait...
I left no lights on.
-Let's leave, Lcia.
-Wait, Bene.
I must've forgotten.
-I'm scared.
-Shush.
Come.
God is by our side, Bene.
It's going to be fine.
Bene!
She was dragged here.
What if their
father is involved?
Everyone's talking about him.
He drinks too much, I doubt it.
I've seen thugs kill by shooting,
cutting into pieces, burning,
but I've never seen
people kill like this.
There's no explanation.
There's an explanation
for every death.
I swear I'm going to put a
bullet in this son of a bitch's head.
Let's not contaminate
the area, sheriff.
Have you examined
the entire body?
Sheriff, please. Watch out
for the body and the footprints.
Are you worried
about footprints?
Everyone knows who did this,
don't they?
The body's going to Rio
to be examined, sheriff.
We'll keep investigating.
Corporal Pedro,
isolate the area.
Sarge, with all due respect,
what you need to do is to put
an end to these killers.
I tried shooting.
I did shoot, but...
There was no one.
Then...
All of a sudden, he was there.
Looking like crazy.
Her head...
-Her head...
-Lcia.
-Benedita was my friend.
-Who attacked her?
Incio's turned into an animal.
Never seen like it.
-I've known him since he was a boy.
-Was it just him?
It was the Devil.
The Devil turned him
into an animal.
Maybe they attack separately,
one victim at a time?
The footprints match.
Same form, size, all of it.
-Seems like one.
-So where's the brother?
Must be hidden.
Somewhere.
Moema only saw Incio
at the waterfall.
-The same with Lcia.
-The sheriff says it's both.
The sheriff says so,
the priest says so.
Everyone says it's both of them.
-Have you realized something?
-What?
There are almost
no black people here.
There's Incio, Matias, Tio,
and Elisa.
And me.
And you.
I'll have a shot.
I know you helped them
when they were kids, Dora.
Then they started
stealing things at the farm.
They stole food.
They'd hide in the woods
and then show up here.
Starving, like animals.
I had to help.
Did your father mistreat them?
No.
Are you sure?
I saw my dad beating them once.
But it was just once.
And you're not afraid?
They won't do anything to me.
I wish I could've talked
to you properly at the church.
About what?
-Mom?
-Not now, honey.
How many bad guys
have you killed?
My work is not to kill, kid.
It's to arrest.
Do you defend your mom
with that thing?
I'll give you a tip, okay?
Keep it this way,
so it's easier to draw it.
Give it a go.
All right?
Can I see your gun?
-Mine is not a toy.
-My grandpa lets me.
Does it say BOPE?
Honey, go get your stuff
so we can go.
-He can't read yet?
-He's a little late.
People are terrified. Classes
were suspended last Wednesday
because students
teachers and moms
are afraid of being attacked.
Corporal Everson, copy.
What do you want, Baldo?
There's nothing for you here.
I'm not back because I wanted so.
-No?
-No.
I want you to know that I didn't leave
because I wanted either.
Sarge!
Yes, Corporal.
They just said they've found
their hiding-place.
A woodsman found it.
Seems like it's been eaten,
but there was no fire.
They ate it raw.
With no smoke
so no one would see it.
Sarge...
Blooded doll clothes.
The blood may belong
to one of the victims.
-What about this?
-Send it to the lab.
Yes, sir.
That's all voodoo, Sarge
Auntie, do you know anything
about them that can help me?
People say they were abused.
I don't know much, Baldo.
They worked here
for a while, right?
Yes, they did.
But they were just kids.
Then we found out
they were stealing things.
So the housekeeper made them
go away.
-Really?
-Yes.
Do you have any idea
why they're doing this?
It's pure evil.
I remember Tio worked here
for a while, right?
God, what a weird man.
It couldn't have been so bad,
you got his sons to help.
What about the housekeeper?
How did he get the kids
out of here?
-Did he beat them?
-What is it, Baldo?
You don't know anything,
show up here out of nowhere.
You keep asking dumb questions.
You think no one here knows
about your problems in Rio?
You leave us alone, hear me?
I've kicked you out before.
Go back to Rio, dear.
It's better for everyone.
As soon as possible, Auntie.
Mom...
-Are you still up, baby?
-I can't sleep.
Let's go to bed.
What happened?
Who was that policeman?
I've had an idea.
How do you feel
about going to the circus?
Right?
Do you want me to stay here
until you fall asleep?
-No? Okay. Good night.
-Good night.
-Love you.
-Love you.
A small town lives in fear
amongst the hills of Rio state.
Two brothers have murdered 14 people
and are hiding inside the woods
that go around
the peaceful Nova Friburgo.
The crimes present
barbaric details.
The people are armed
and talking about revenge.
Sir, it's easy for these kids
to hide out here.
They know the entire region.
-They grew up here.
-So did you.
That's why I sent you there.
Both of them can't read
and commit a crime
known as necrophilia,
which is murder
followed by sexually
abusing the corpse.
That guy was a slumdog
and black.
Human Rights are pushing.
Get me those kids
and I'll shelve this case for you.
Since they were kids,
Ibrahim and Henrique
had to run away to escape
from their father's beatings,
who always got home drunk.
But bring them alive
and I'll hold things up.
-We have a deal, don't we?
-We do, Colonel.
Come here, man.
-Did something happen, Sarge?
-I'm going to Rio.
I want you in command
for a few days.
I've got it.
Did they say something
about the trial?
Not yet.
It's best we get these boys soon.
Shouldn't we ask
for backup, Sarge?
Are you shitting me?
I'll be exonerated.
-Then what the fuck do we do?
-I'll be back real fast.
See if you can find
something in the newspaper.
ANOTHER WOMAN KILLED
BY THE NECROPHILE BROTHERS
REVOLTED PEOPLE AGAINST NECROPHILES
ORGANIZE A PROTEST DOWNTOWN
NECROPHILES CAUSE PANIC:
WHO WILL BE THE NEXT VICTIM?
MURDERED GIRL FOUND
NECROPHILE BROTHERS: AN EXAMPLE
OF SOCIAL AND POLITICAL NEGLIGENCE
The holes on her back
are from before the rape.
Before?
-So she wouldn't run away?
-She wouldn't be able to run away.
By your examination,
was it just one?
I can't tell.
But if it was,
he must be pretty strong.
-Did these women know him?
-Some of them did.
The sickle hit on her head
is what caused her death.
But the most impressive
thing is this...
She was already dead
when he did this.
Sexual and violent perversion.
Maybe everyone's right.
I think these boys were abused
when they were little.
It's quite possible.
In postmortem rape cases,
they completely dominate the victim.
She will have nothing to say
and will belong to him 100%.
There's also the exhibitionist
desecrator factor.
I've heard about your mess
at the community.
The body ended up here.
It was shitty.
Half an inch to the side
and it wouldn't be as bad.
-Half an inch.
-Yeah.
I have to consult the files
of two minors.
First door to the right.
Incio Ferreira.
Got here in March, 1991.
He was 14.
Death and rape of Rosa da Cunha Silva,
declares himself guilty.
Doesn't interact
with other inmates.
Went five times to the solitary
for bad behavior.
Psychologist's opinion:
undiagnosed disorders.
Signs of sexual abuse.
Doesn't reply to questions.
Released when reached 18.
Matias Ferreira.
Rape and death
of Rosa da Cunha Silva.
Declares himself innocent.
His brother, Incio,
takes the blame.
Good behavior.
Religious obsession.
Always had a bible in his hands.
Psychologist's opinion:
he's not a threat to society.
Released after a month.
FAMILIES ABANDON THEIR HOUSES
AFRAID OF NECROPHILE BROTHERS
Why Matias didn't take
the bible with him?
Do you know if someone
visited them?
Or who picked Incio up
when he was released?
Ma'am, can you remember?
You ask too many questions, sir.
Hello?
Where?
My children...
He's said it, not me.
Clean the lepers.
Bring back the dead.
Banish the demons".
Banish the demons!
Who is this woman?
My mom, Corporal.
Sorry to ask.
How did she die?
She decided to take her own life.
I was raised by
my aunt and uncle.
I'm really sorry, Uncle.
You know she was
like a mother to me.
But I promise I...
Leave.
Get out of here.
Lower it, Corporal.
You'll have to kill me this time.
These killings seem more
like a ritual.
Benedita's position.
If it were just about killing,
they wouldn't do all that.
It's the same scarecrow position
we found at the Ferreiras'.
I don't know...
She seems crucified.
Check out my aunt's hands.
Seems like she's praying.
This is revenge.
They're taking out on the women
of the men who mistreated them.
They have nothing to lose.
Sarge, come here.
I've found this on the newspaper.
Incio and Matias
were altar boys.
-We've got to interrogate him again.
-For sure.
-You've got a call.
-Not now, I'm busy.
It's Captain Jonas.
Fucking hell, hold this.
-Hello?
-Hi, Teo. I'm sorry about your aunt.
-Thank you, Captain.
-How the fuck did that happen?
I'm starting to understand
their behavior.
Get them first, then understand.
Or do you want me
to solve this too?
-I need more time.
-There's no more time.
The press wants your head.
And the governor wants mine.
Yes, sir.
The guy's armed, Corporal.
Son of a bitch,
he's gonna shoot us.
Oh, my God!
God, help me, please!
My husband...
You killed him!
You killed my husband!
You murderers!
Murderers!
-The priest won't say a thing, Sarge.
-If we go after him...
Shit!
-Could you see who it was?
-Seemed like your uncle's truck.
Should we go after them?
No, they were coming
from Tio's house.
No, fuck, Everson, don't shoot!
Stop!
This must be Elisa.
Bring the camera here.
This is Tio.
Savagery took over
this place, Corporal.
They've crossed the line.
Now the only black ones
are the brothers and me.
Guys, from now on, Captain Dalmarco
and I are taking over.
Our team now is made up
of 250 men.
We're reforming
the search strategy.
Let's distribute guns and ammo
for the residents.
Let's take over abandoned houses
so they're not used as shelter.
Put traps and poison on the food
found in all abandoned farms.
Local police will investigate
the deaths of the boys' parents.
Teo, I want a report with everything
you know about this case. Was I clear?
Teo, what the fuck was that?
This is a mistake, Jonas.
Distributing weapons
for these residents
will only increase chaos here
and you know that.
No, my mistake was putting you
on this mission.
Now Dalmarco and I give the orders.
You should thank me
for not sending you back to Rio.
I'm protecting you.
Where were you yesterday
at the time of the fire?
Why do you care?
So your car left there by itself?
I saw it.
Look.
I've always tried to help
that voodooist family.
But they're all bad,
all are the Devil's children.
What I want to know
is who killed Tio and Elisa.
Where were you?
Teobaldo, instead of blaming
honest people,
you should hunt down
those negroes.
Answer me, damn it!
I was here.
And you are going crazy,
just like your mom!
Yeah, I'm going crazy.
Just like anyone who comes
to this fucking town.
I'm glad I left.
I'm not angry at you.
I'm ashamed.
All of this shit is your fault,
you fucking racists!
Fuck! Hrcules!
What happened?
I brought this to protect you.
What happened?
Your dad's going crazy,
I asked for it.
Come in.
Let's fix you.
I'm sorry about your mom.
I'm also sorry because...
I wanted to give you a hug.
But...
Does Diego know about me?
Your dad left me no choice, Dora.
-You didn't even try.
-You were only 13.
I kept waiting for you.
I thought you'd come back
to get me.
But then time went by.
And you?
Did you get married?
Of course not.
When is this going to end?
I'm out of the mission.
-Are you leaving?
-Listen.
I'm out of the mission.
Come to Rio with me.
Come with me.
It'll be better for you and Diego.
Come.
I need to think about it.
I'll come back to get you.
Meanwhile,
promise me you'll be careful.
You promise?
What do you think, Sarge?
Those bastards are teasing us.
Just because the battalion
is in town
Fuck, Teo.
Bar fight? Are you insane?
They set your trial.
You're going back to Rio today.
It is gonna be hard
to capture those boys, Corporal.
I didn't say anything
about the cornfield, Sarge.
Don't let them
take this board down.
You'll need it.
What about the priest, Sarge?
Put your fucking hands
on your head!
-Easy, Baldo!
-Leave, Father!
Get down!
Hands on your head!
-Get in there. Where's your brother?
-I don't know!
-Tell me!
-I don't know!
-He doesn't know!
-Close your goddamn mouth.
-Where's your brother?
-I didn't do anything.
I didn't do anything!
Get in the car, Father.
-It's best if I stay, son.
-Father. Get in the car.
Or would you rather be cuffed
with him?
Was he the one
who killed Antonio and raped you?
I was nervous.
I was scared.
Look again.
Was it him?
-It was both.
-What do you mean both?
Are you sure?
And where was the other one?
-On the rocks. Looking.
-Moema, pay attention.
It's this boys' life,
he might not have done anything.
What about Antnio Pedro's life?
It doesn't count?
Don't worry, Moema.
That one's already in jail.
Now the other one's left.
We're convicting a boy
who might not have done anything.
-She's just recognized him.
-She changed her story, Captain.
It's different.
Lcia only identified Incio.
-You can't prove that.
-No one can.
They won't rest until
they find a culprit.
It's their families.
Who treated the boys
like trash their whole lives.
They're monsters, Teo.
Keep walking.
Sit down, quick.
Since when was the priest
hiding you there?
He was just helping me.
I didn't do anything.
I was scared.
This kid's lying. The priest
would never help a demon like him.
Father.
Come with me.
There's a crowd out there
who wants to lynch a kid
who says he didn't kill anyone
and that you knew it.
-Let me talk to him.
-I already told you.
I'll say it again:
I just wanted to help him.
I convinced him
to turn himself in
and that's the truth.
And God sees it all.
No one can run away
from Divine Justice.
Where's the priest?
He said you only showed up,
Matias.
-He says he's not protecting you.
-You're lying.
-He didn't say that.
-He did.
Matias, did the father do
anything to you guys?
-Get him here.
-He doesn't want to talk to you.
-No one out there wants to.
-I didn't do anything.
You're black, poor, and dirty,
do you think they'll believe you?
Where's Incio?
You either say where he is or they'll
kill you, what do you prefer?
You didn't say Matias and Incio
worked at the church.
May I ask why?
Those boys came
from a difficult environment.
I tried to help them.
It was only for a short time
and in vain, right?
What you were doing
at the shack with Matias
is the same you do
with the choir kids?
What are you implying, boy?
I've told you.
I was trying to help them.
You should've let me
finish the mission.
C'mon, Teo, no one knew
the priest abused them.
Incio is the one
who's killing people.
Matias wasn't with him.
The crimes only happened again
after Incio left the facility.
How can you prove
the brother wasn't with him?
I don't know.
That's your problem now.
Keep doing it.
Diego...
-Lock the door.
-Okay.
Fasten the latch, okay?
Diego!
Are you okay?
Look at me.
Your mom, what did you see,
my son?
Dora!
Dora!
Wake up, you son of a bitch.
Now you'll talk!
Tell me!
Tell me! Tell me
where your brother is!
-I don't know!
-Like shit!
Tell me!
Tell me, goddamn it!
Or I'll kill you!
You either tell me
or I'll kill you, fuck!
-I don't know!
-Like shit you don't!
Come with me.
-Where are we going, Sarge?
-It's his say.
-This is ending badly.
-Just drive.
Where's my son?
Where's Diego?
Where's Diego?
Where's my son?
It's here?
We used to hide here
when we were kids.
Sarge!
Check this out!
It's a track.
Please don't...
Forgive me.
Teo, don't do this.
THE 'NECROPHILE BROTHERS' WERE ACCUSED
OF KILLING 8 WOMEN, 1 MAN, AND 1 CHILD.
IN 1995, A POLICE CAPTAIN
THAT WAS PART OF THE SEARCH CREW
KILLED IBRAHIM WITH 5 SHOTS.
HE PLEADED SELF DEFFENSE
AND DIDN'T GO TO TRIAL.
HE WAS CONDECORATED
AND PROMOTED.
AFTER HIS BROTHER'S DEATH,
HENRIQUE TURNED HIMSELF IN.
THE ONLY PROOF AGAINST HIM
WAS THE CHANGED TESTIMONY
OF ONE OF THE SURVIVING VICTIMS.
HENRIQUE WAS CONVICTED BY
A JURY TO 49 YEARS IN JAIL.
IN 2010, A POLICE OFFICER FROM
BOPE KILLED AN INNOCENT MAN
WHEN HE CONFUSED
A POWER DRILL FOR A GUN.
HE WAS CHARGED WITH HOMICIDE
BUT THE CHARGES WERE DROPPED
BY THE PUBLIC MINISTRY.
TEO IS A CHARACTER INSPIRED BY THE
STORIES ABOUT RIO DE JANEIRO OFFICERS.
NECROPHILES KILLED A WOMAN
AND A 9-YEAR-OLD CHILD.
THEY'VE ALWAYS HAD SEX

POLITICIANS AND BOPE FAILED
we've got eyes.
All clear so far, you may go on.
A woman opened up the window
on the third floor.
That's 55 yards from patrol.
It seems there's someone else
with her, Sarge.
There's a man, same window,
seems suspicious.
He came back inside, Sarge.
He's back and holding something.
I think he's got a gun.
Do you confirm?
Does he have a gun?
Unable to confirm, Sarge.
Tell them to pull back,
Corporal.
Cpl. 07, do you copy?
If you do copy, pull back.
Pull back, damn it!
The guy's armed, Corporal.
Son of a bitch,
he's gonna shoot us.
He didn't do anything.
Why this?
Murderers!
INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS
A FEW DAYS LATER
The last thing I wanted was
to go back to that place.
I was just a kid. I swore
I'd never come back.
But I was the only one at
BOPE who knew that people well.
I had no choice then.
Because of that shit that
happened in the favela,
I was forced to follow the
mission and face a past long buried.
But that was an
important mission to me.
Either I'd solve
the case,
or I'd have to face
an incompetent justice.
For a mistake that could
fuck with my life.
But the truth was I was already
fucked a long time ago.
Our mission was to capture two
punks hidden in the woods
accused of killing
at least five women.
The first one was called
Diana Gonalves.
She got strangled with
wire and then stabbed.
The second was a girl
who was only 11.
Her body was found
carbonized and decapitated.
A year ago, the third victim.
Severina Gonzaga was
seven months pregnant.
The baby was found
next to her.
The fourth victim, Ana Maria Torres.
She was stabbed over a hundred times.
All of them had one thing
in common: necrophilia signs.
They kill them
and then rape them.
MACABRE
The last attack happened here,
close to the waterfall.
One of the victims survived,
she was stabbed.
-She's in the hospital.
-What about the other ones?
These are the places
where the other bodies were.
We'll trace a perimeter from here.
And then start looking.
The community is talking about revenge,
people are leaving their houses.
-Those who stay are armed.
-What if we disarm them...
This will make things worse.
We must look confident
in our mission.
-How can we do that, Sarge?
-Killing the murderers already.
Rui. I'm the sheriff.
We spoke on the phone yesterday.
WANTED RAPIST MURDERERS
REWARD R$5,000
I'm really sorry
for your loss, Moema.
We'll need your help.
To identify
who did this to you.
Is that okay?
Was it them?
Let me go!
You can tell us, child.
Was it him, Moema?
Was there someone else with him?
You don't have
to be afraid, Moema.
So his brother, Matias,
wasn't with him?
-They were always together.
-Sheriff.
Let her talk.
Boys.
I think she needs some rest now.
How are you, darling?
It's only natural that
people are freaking out, son.
It's a very peaceful town
with very humble people.
-You know that, don't you?
-Did the boys go to church, Father?
They're not Catholic, are they?
We tried to help.
Who's "we"?
Son, the boys' father, Tio,
has changed a lot
since you left.
-Be careful around him.
-You don't have to worry.
Looking at you all serious,
you remind me of your mom,
Jussara, a lot.
Let's leave my mom
out of this, Father.
It wasn't your fault, son.
-You were so little...
-Father, I asked you a question.
Why don't you come
to the mass?
People will like knowing
that you're back.
-I'm not back.
-All right.
You'll always be welcome
at the Lord's house.
You must know that.
My children,
the Devil has chosen
our community to manifest
his evil.
He is here.
Not inside this house,
he's out on the loose.
Behind a tree,
around the corner of a road.
And what does he do
to demonstrate his strength?
He kills.
He kills.
Only the Lord's words and faith
can give us strength when the Devil
conspires against our community.
God's given me a mission.
To guide all of you
against Satan's actions
Who is going to save us
from the Devil?
I think you could talk to him.
I'll go.
Long time no see!
-How are you, Auntie?
-I'm good.
-I haven't heard from you.
-I've been working a lot.
I'm glad you came.
Everyone is so scared.
Pass by the farm
so we can talk calmly.
I've got to go.
Your uncle is waiting for me.
The boys' parents, Father,
they come to church?
They came here sometimes.
They wanted to get baptized.
But then they disappeared
and never came back.
Their father, once stole
a hen from my farm.
He cut its neck.
And he left it hanging
from a tree,
so its blood would drain out.
Voodooist negro.
Their father abused them.
They were really abused.
And then that happened.
What about the boys, Dora?
I haven't seen them
in a long time.
But they've suffered too much
with these people.
So did their father
and all of their family.
-Too much humiliation.
-They helped on the farm, you know?
The kids were hardworking.
What do you mean
"they helped"?
They asked for something in return
or they worked for free?
It's a pact with the Devil,
Teobaldo.
The Devil is tempting them.
You don't have to arrest them,
you should kill them.
Kill them.
People like to talk,
but no one's ever helped them.
People here don't forgive.
Am I free to go?
Yes.
What do you think about
this pact with the Devil stuff?
-There's no such thing.
-Yeah, right.
If you ask me,
God doesn't exist too.
Then why were all those people
praying at a church like that?
It's really easy to explore
people's fears.
You believe nothing, Sarge.
I believe there are good people
and bad people.
What the fuck is this, Sarge?
-Hi, Mrs. Elisa. These are...
-Where are my boys?
I'm Sergeant Teo.
Corporals Everson and Pedro.
We're from the Military
Special Ops, Mrs. Elisa.
Your kids are wanted, madam.
-Haven't you found them?
-They don't live here with you, correct?
They're just kids, mister, they
don't know what they're doing.
They're just kids.
-Ma'am, you must collaborate.
-I don't know where they are!
I haven't seen my boys
in a long time.
-How are you, Mr. Sebastio?
-Kill them all!
Kill these Goddamned boys.
Ma'am...
Was your husband
abusive to the kids?
Don't let them kill them.
We can keep it
from here, Plnio.
-Are you sure, Lcia?
-It's fine.
-Always go together, okay?
-Yes, Plnio.
Don't let her out of your sight.
-I got it.
-I got it, I'm taking her.
-Have you checked if it's loaded?
-Yeah, it is.
Go, otherwise you'll be
too out of your way.
Wait...
I left no lights on.
-Let's leave, Lcia.
-Wait, Bene.
I must've forgotten.
-I'm scared.
-Shush.
Come.
God is by our side, Bene.
It's going to be fine.
Bene!
She was dragged here.
What if their
father is involved?
Everyone's talking about him.
He drinks too much, I doubt it.
I've seen thugs kill by shooting,
cutting into pieces, burning,
but I've never seen
people kill like this.
There's no explanation.
There's an explanation
for every death.
I swear I'm going to put a
bullet in this son of a bitch's head.
Let's not contaminate
the area, sheriff.
Have you examined
the entire body?
Sheriff, please. Watch out
for the body and the footprints.
Are you worried
about footprints?
Everyone knows who did this,
don't they?
The body's going to Rio
to be examined, sheriff.
We'll keep investigating.
Corporal Pedro,
isolate the area.
Sarge, with all due respect,
what you need to do is to put
an end to these killers.
I tried shooting.
I did shoot, but...
There was no one.
Then...
All of a sudden, he was there.
Looking like crazy.
Her head...
-Her head...
-Lcia.
-Benedita was my friend.
-Who attacked her?
Incio's turned into an animal.
Never seen like it.
-I've known him since he was a boy.
-Was it just him?
It was the Devil.
The Devil turned him
into an animal.
Maybe they attack separately,
one victim at a time?
The footprints match.
Same form, size, all of it.
-Seems like one.
-So where's the brother?
Must be hidden.
Somewhere.
Moema only saw Incio
at the waterfall.
-The same with Lcia.
-The sheriff says it's both.
The sheriff says so,
the priest says so.
Everyone says it's both of them.
-Have you realized something?
-What?
There are almost
no black people here.
There's Incio, Matias, Tio,
and Elisa.
And me.
And you.
I'll have a shot.
I know you helped them
when they were kids, Dora.
Then they started
stealing things at the farm.
They stole food.
They'd hide in the woods
and then show up here.
Starving, like animals.
I had to help.
Did your father mistreat them?
No.
Are you sure?
I saw my dad beating them once.
But it was just once.
And you're not afraid?
They won't do anything to me.
I wish I could've talked
to you properly at the church.
About what?
-Mom?
-Not now, honey.
How many bad guys
have you killed?
My work is not to kill, kid.
It's to arrest.
Do you defend your mom
with that thing?
I'll give you a tip, okay?
Keep it this way,
so it's easier to draw it.
Give it a go.
All right?
Can I see your gun?
-Mine is not a toy.
-My grandpa lets me.
Does it say BOPE?
Honey, go get your stuff
so we can go.
-He can't read yet?
-He's a little late.
People are terrified. Classes
were suspended last Wednesday
because students
teachers and moms
are afraid of being attacked.
Corporal Everson, copy.
What do you want, Baldo?
There's nothing for you here.
I'm not back because I wanted so.
-No?
-No.
I want you to know that I didn't leave
because I wanted either.
Sarge!
Yes, Corporal.
They just said they've found
their hiding-place.
A woodsman found it.
Seems like it's been eaten,
but there was no fire.
They ate it raw.
With no smoke
so no one would see it.
Sarge...
Blooded doll clothes.
The blood may belong
to one of the victims.
-What about this?
-Send it to the lab.
Yes, sir.
That's all voodoo, Sarge
Auntie, do you know anything
about them that can help me?
People say they were abused.
I don't know much, Baldo.
They worked here
for a while, right?
Yes, they did.
But they were just kids.
Then we found out
they were stealing things.
So the housekeeper made them
go away.
-Really?
-Yes.
Do you have any idea
why they're doing this?
It's pure evil.
I remember Tio worked here
for a while, right?
God, what a weird man.
It couldn't have been so bad,
you got his sons to help.
What about the housekeeper?
How did he get the kids
out of here?
-Did he beat them?
-What is it, Baldo?
You don't know anything,
show up here out of nowhere.
You keep asking dumb questions.
You think no one here knows
about your problems in Rio?
You leave us alone, hear me?
I've kicked you out before.
Go back to Rio, dear.
It's better for everyone.
As soon as possible, Auntie.
Mom...
-Are you still up, baby?
-I can't sleep.
Let's go to bed.
What happened?
Who was that policeman?
I've had an idea.
How do you feel
about going to the circus?
Right?
Do you want me to stay here
until you fall asleep?
-No? Okay. Good night.
-Good night.
-Love you.
-Love you.
A small town lives in fear
amongst the hills of Rio state.
Two brothers have murdered 14 people
and are hiding inside the woods
that go around
the peaceful Nova Friburgo.
The crimes present
barbaric details.
The people are armed
and talking about revenge.
Sir, it's easy for these kids
to hide out here.
They know the entire region.
-They grew up here.
-So did you.
That's why I sent you there.
Both of them can't read
and commit a crime
known as necrophilia,
which is murder
followed by sexually
abusing the corpse.
That guy was a slumdog
and black.
Human Rights are pushing.
Get me those kids
and I'll shelve this case for you.
Since they were kids,
Ibrahim and Henrique
had to run away to escape
from their father's beatings,
who always got home drunk.
But bring them alive
and I'll hold things up.
-We have a deal, don't we?
-We do, Colonel.
Come here, man.
-Did something happen, Sarge?
-I'm going to Rio.
I want you in command
for a few days.
I've got it.
Did they say something
about the trial?
Not yet.
It's best we get these boys soon.
Shouldn't we ask
for backup, Sarge?
Are you shitting me?
I'll be exonerated.
-Then what the fuck do we do?
-I'll be back real fast.
See if you can find
something in the newspaper.
ANOTHER WOMAN KILLED
BY THE NECROPHILE BROTHERS
REVOLTED PEOPLE AGAINST NECROPHILES
ORGANIZE A PROTEST DOWNTOWN
NECROPHILES CAUSE PANIC:
WHO WILL BE THE NEXT VICTIM?
MURDERED GIRL FOUND
NECROPHILE BROTHERS: AN EXAMPLE
OF SOCIAL AND POLITICAL NEGLIGENCE
The holes on her back
are from before the rape.
Before?
-So she wouldn't run away?
-She wouldn't be able to run away.
By your examination,
was it just one?
I can't tell.
But if it was,
he must be pretty strong.
-Did these women know him?
-Some of them did.
The sickle hit on her head
is what caused her death.
But the most impressive
thing is this...
She was already dead
when he did this.
Sexual and violent perversion.
Maybe everyone's right.
I think these boys were abused
when they were little.
It's quite possible.
In postmortem rape cases,
they completely dominate the victim.
She will have nothing to say
and will belong to him 100%.
There's also the exhibitionist
desecrator factor.
I've heard about your mess
at the community.
The body ended up here.
It was shitty.
Half an inch to the side
and it wouldn't be as bad.
-Half an inch.
-Yeah.
I have to consult the files
of two minors.
First door to the right.
Incio Ferreira.
Got here in March, 1991.
He was 14.
Death and rape of Rosa da Cunha Silva,
declares himself guilty.
Doesn't interact
with other inmates.
Went five times to the solitary
for bad behavior.
Psychologist's opinion:
undiagnosed disorders.
Signs of sexual abuse.
Doesn't reply to questions.
Released when reached 18.
Matias Ferreira.
Rape and death
of Rosa da Cunha Silva.
Declares himself innocent.
His brother, Incio,
takes the blame.
Good behavior.
Religious obsession.
Always had a bible in his hands.
Psychologist's opinion:
he's not a threat to society.
Released after a month.
FAMILIES ABANDON THEIR HOUSES
AFRAID OF NECROPHILE BROTHERS
Why Matias didn't take
the bible with him?
Do you know if someone
visited them?
Or who picked Incio up
when he was released?
Ma'am, can you remember?
You ask too many questions, sir.
Hello?
Where?
My children...
He's said it, not me.
Clean the lepers.
Bring back the dead.
Banish the demons".
Banish the demons!
Who is this woman?
My mom, Corporal.
Sorry to ask.
How did she die?
She decided to take her own life.
I was raised by
my aunt and uncle.
I'm really sorry, Uncle.
You know she was
like a mother to me.
But I promise I...
Leave.
Get out of here.
Lower it, Corporal.
You'll have to kill me this time.
These killings seem more
like a ritual.
Benedita's position.
If it were just about killing,
they wouldn't do all that.
It's the same scarecrow position
we found at the Ferreiras'.
I don't know...
She seems crucified.
Check out my aunt's hands.
Seems like she's praying.
This is revenge.
They're taking out on the women
of the men who mistreated them.
They have nothing to lose.
Sarge, come here.
I've found this on the newspaper.
Incio and Matias
were altar boys.
-We've got to interrogate him again.
-For sure.
-You've got a call.
-Not now, I'm busy.
It's Captain Jonas.
Fucking hell, hold this.
-Hello?
-Hi, Teo. I'm sorry about your aunt.
-Thank you, Captain.
-How the fuck did that happen?
I'm starting to understand
their behavior.
Get them first, then understand.
Or do you want me
to solve this too?
-I need more time.
-There's no more time.
The press wants your head.
And the governor wants mine.
Yes, sir.
The guy's armed, Corporal.
Son of a bitch,
he's gonna shoot us.
Oh, my God!
God, help me, please!
My husband...
You killed him!
You killed my husband!
You murderers!
Murderers!
-The priest won't say a thing, Sarge.
-If we go after him...
Shit!
-Could you see who it was?
-Seemed like your uncle's truck.
Should we go after them?
No, they were coming
from Tio's house.
No, fuck, Everson, don't shoot!
Stop!
This must be Elisa.
Bring the camera here.
This is Tio.
Savagery took over
this place, Corporal.
They've crossed the line.
Now the only black ones
are the brothers and me.
Guys, from now on, Captain Dalmarco
and I are taking over.
Our team now is made up
of 250 men.
We're reforming
the search strategy.
Let's distribute guns and ammo
for the residents.
Let's take over abandoned houses
so they're not used as shelter.
Put traps and poison on the food
found in all abandoned farms.
Local police will investigate
the deaths of the boys' parents.
Teo, I want a report with everything
you know about this case. Was I clear?
Teo, what the fuck was that?
This is a mistake, Jonas.
Distributing weapons
for these residents
will only increase chaos here
and you know that.
No, my mistake was putting you
on this mission.
Now Dalmarco and I give the orders.
You should thank me
for not sending you back to Rio.
I'm protecting you.
Where were you yesterday
at the time of the fire?
Why do you care?
So your car left there by itself?
I saw it.
Look.
I've always tried to help
that voodooist family.
But they're all bad,
all are the Devil's children.
What I want to know
is who killed Tio and Elisa.
Where were you?
Teobaldo, instead of blaming
honest people,
you should hunt down
those negroes.
Answer me, damn it!
I was here.
And you are going crazy,
just like your mom!
Yeah, I'm going crazy.
Just like anyone who comes
to this fucking town.
I'm glad I left.
I'm not angry at you.
I'm ashamed.
All of this shit is your fault,
you fucking racists!
Fuck! Hrcules!
What happened?
I brought this to protect you.
What happened?
Your dad's going crazy,
I asked for it.
Come in.
Let's fix you.
I'm sorry about your mom.
I'm also sorry because...
I wanted to give you a hug.
But...
Does Diego know about me?
Your dad left me no choice, Dora.
-You didn't even try.
-You were only 13.
I kept waiting for you.
I thought you'd come back
to get me.
But then time went by.
And you?
Did you get married?
Of course not.
When is this going to end?
I'm out of the mission.
-Are you leaving?
-Listen.
I'm out of the mission.
Come to Rio with me.
Come with me.
It'll be better for you and Diego.
Come.
I need to think about it.
I'll come back to get you.
Meanwhile,
promise me you'll be careful.
You promise?
What do you think, Sarge?
Those bastards are teasing us.
Just because the battalion
is in town
Fuck, Teo.
Bar fight? Are you insane?
They set your trial.
You're going back to Rio today.
It is gonna be hard
to capture those boys, Corporal.
I didn't say anything
about the cornfield, Sarge.
Don't let them
take this board down.
You'll need it.
What about the priest, Sarge?
Put your fucking hands
on your head!
-Easy, Baldo!
-Leave, Father!
Get down!
Hands on your head!
-Get in there. Where's your brother?
-I don't know!
-Tell me!
-I don't know!
-He doesn't know!
-Close your goddamn mouth.
-Where's your brother?
-I didn't do anything.
I didn't do anything!
Get in the car, Father.
-It's best if I stay, son.
-Father. Get in the car.
Or would you rather be cuffed
with him?
Was he the one
who killed Antonio and raped you?
I was nervous.
I was scared.
Look again.
Was it him?
-It was both.
-What do you mean both?
Are you sure?
And where was the other one?
-On the rocks. Looking.
-Moema, pay attention.
It's this boys' life,
he might not have done anything.
What about Antnio Pedro's life?
It doesn't count?
Don't worry, Moema.
That one's already in jail.
Now the other one's left.
We're convicting a boy
who might not have done anything.
-She's just recognized him.
-She changed her story, Captain.
It's different.
Lcia only identified Incio.
-You can't prove that.
-No one can.
They won't rest until
they find a culprit.
It's their families.
Who treated the boys
like trash their whole lives.
They're monsters, Teo.
Keep walking.
Sit down, quick.
Since when was the priest
hiding you there?
He was just helping me.
I didn't do anything.
I was scared.
This kid's lying. The priest
would never help a demon like him.
Father.
Come with me.
There's a crowd out there
who wants to lynch a kid
who says he didn't kill anyone
and that you knew it.
-Let me talk to him.
-I already told you.
I'll say it again:
I just wanted to help him.
I convinced him
to turn himself in
and that's the truth.
And God sees it all.
No one can run away
from Divine Justice.
Where's the priest?
He said you only showed up,
Matias.
-He says he's not protecting you.
-You're lying.
-He didn't say that.
-He did.
Matias, did the father do
anything to you guys?
-Get him here.
-He doesn't want to talk to you.
-No one out there wants to.
-I didn't do anything.
You're black, poor, and dirty,
do you think they'll believe you?
Where's Incio?
You either say where he is or they'll
kill you, what do you prefer?
You didn't say Matias and Incio
worked at the church.
May I ask why?
Those boys came
from a difficult environment.
I tried to help them.
It was only for a short time
and in vain, right?
What you were doing
at the shack with Matias
is the same you do
with the choir kids?
What are you implying, boy?
I've told you.
I was trying to help them.
You should've let me
finish the mission.
C'mon, Teo, no one knew
the priest abused them.
Incio is the one
who's killing people.
Matias wasn't with him.
The crimes only happened again
after Incio left the facility.
How can you prove
the brother wasn't with him?
I don't know.
That's your problem now.
Keep doing it.
Diego...
-Lock the door.
-Okay.
Fasten the latch, okay?
Diego!
Are you okay?
Look at me.
Your mom, what did you see,
my son?
Dora!
Dora!
Wake up, you son of a bitch.
Now you'll talk!
Tell me!
Tell me! Tell me
where your brother is!
-I don't know!
-Like shit!
Tell me!
Tell me, goddamn it!
Or I'll kill you!
You either tell me
or I'll kill you, fuck!
-I don't know!
-Like shit you don't!
Come with me.
-Where are we going, Sarge?
-It's his say.
-This is ending badly.
-Just drive.
Where's my son?
Where's Diego?
Where's Diego?
Where's my son?
It's here?
We used to hide here
when we were kids.
Sarge!
Check this out!
It's a track.
Please don't...
Forgive me.
Teo, don't do this.
THE 'NECROPHILE BROTHERS' WERE ACCUSED
OF KILLING 8 WOMEN, 1 MAN, AND 1 CHILD.
IN 1995, A POLICE CAPTAIN
THAT WAS PART OF THE SEARCH CREW
KILLED IBRAHIM WITH 5 SHOTS.
HE PLEADED SELF DEFFENSE
AND DIDN'T GO TO TRIAL.
HE WAS CONDECORATED
AND PROMOTED.
AFTER HIS BROTHER'S DEATH,
HENRIQUE TURNED HIMSELF IN.
THE ONLY PROOF AGAINST HIM
WAS THE CHANGED TESTIMONY
OF ONE OF THE SURVIVING VICTIMS.
HENRIQUE WAS CONVICTED BY
A JURY TO 49 YEARS IN JAIL.
IN 2010, A POLICE OFFICER FROM
BOPE KILLED AN INNOCENT MAN
WHEN HE CONFUSED
