[woman 1] That's it. Push.
-That's it. -[woman 2 grunting]
-[groaning] -[woman 1] Push, push. Keep pushing.
-Push, push. Breathe. -[woman 2 moaning]
Come on, breathe, girl.
Come on.
-[woman 1] Push, push. -[woman 2 grunting, panting]
[labored panting]
That's it. Breathe. Push deeper.
[woman 1] Push!
[yelling]
[grunting, gasping]
[panting]
It's dead.
No!
[sobs] No! No!
Give him to me.
[sobs echoing]
[sobbing] My baby.
My baby.
[gasping]
-He's… He's… He's a-- -[baby crying]
-Give him to me. -{Diana] No! No! He's alive.
-He's alive! -Give him to me.
No. He's alive! He's alive!
[baby crying]
Here.
[Diana] Let me just have this one, Monsignor!
[sobbing]
[Diana] His name will be Jerônimo.

GOOD MORNING, VERÔNICA
[baby babbling]
[crying]
[girl grunts]
-[Verônica gasps] -[chains rattling]
-Hey! -[baby crying]
Hey!
Come back here.
Come back!
[baby crying faintly]
[sobs]
[tense music playing]
[grunting]
Shit!
[sobbing]
[somber music playing]
[Diana sighs]
And Matias?
Do you know where he is?
Sleeping?
He's not in his room.
The bed is made.
Weren't you taking care of him?
He must have left, then.
Without Angela?
Now relax.
[Diana sighs]
[gasps, groans softly]
[machine beeping]
[Diana] Hey.
Hey.
We've always solved our problems by talking them out.
Not all problems have a solution.
[Diana sighs]
Another month and nothing.
That's impossible!
[sighs]
What are we gonna do?
[melancholy music playing]
-[Verônica breathing heavily] -[chains rattling]
[grunting]
[door opening]
[Verônica breathing shakily]
[keys clanking]
Unlock 'em, we're going for a walk.
[birds chirping]
[Verônica] Where are you taking me?
[Diana] You'll see when you get there.
[Verônica] Why did you shave the back of my head?
[Diana] Shut up and walk.
Just want to understand.
You shouldn't have come between us.
Jerônimo won't give up on you.
No way.
You're marked, like all of Monsignor's children.
That doesn't make any sense.
That dog raped me many times back then.
I birthed a legion of children for that…
shithead.
You're one of those children.
-Jerônimo compared our DNA. -Uh-uh…
Are you saying you're my mother?
Are you serious? -No, I only have one child.
And you're not coming between us,
you're not taking my son away from me.
-Get down. On your knees. -Please, Diana.
-On your knees, now! -[gun shot]
[Verônica gasps]
[horse neighing]
-[Jerônimo] Mom! -[horse whinnying]
-Shh! -[Diana] How much longer?
Huh?
How long were you gonna hide this?
I gave you life! I did everything for you.
-All of this for my son! -[Jerônimo] I'm doing this for us.
You can't conceive.
The project can go on with her.
[Diana] The project?
The project only exists when you and I…
It doesn't change anything between us.
Calm down.
[panting] Okay…
-We are one! -Calm down.
-Jerônimo, we are one. -Calm down.
[sobbing] We conceived perfect children.
-Together, we are perfect, my love. -Shh.
-[sobbing] Let me stay with you. -Shh.
Let me stay with you.
[Diana sobs]
[continues sobbing]
[tense music playing]
[Verônica panting]

Okay, on my way.

[screams]
FERTILIZATION PROCEDURE COMPLETED
[man on TV] The persecution and trafficking of followers
of African religions, and also diaspora, is affecting…
[reporter] The police still don't know the whereabouts
of missionary Matias Carneiro.
The fugitive was supposed to give his testimonial this week.
Behind the image of a good Samaritan,
Matias is considered a key player in a complex criminal network
involving abuse, kidnapping, and human trafficking.
[tense music playing]
[Verônica breathing heavily]
[tense music playing]
[breathing heavily]
[Angela] Verônica!
No, no, there's no point. That's not how they open it.
This place is unreal.
They fertilize these women just like they do with the horses.
Yeah. When I got here, I saw Diana giving a baby to a couple.
[horse neighing]
All right, look…
Look, see if there's a mark there, anything.
-I can't. Wait. -Right below my hair.
Wait a minute.
There's the tattoo. There's also a horseshoe.
What does it mean?
-[girl] Mom! -Lila?
-[girl sobbing] Mom! Mom! -I'll come back for you.
[Jerônimo] Your daughter wants to see you!
[Lila] Mom!
[Jerônimo] Where are you, Verônica?
[Lila] Mom, help me!
Now I understand why you haven't killed me yet,
and you won't kill me…
You piece of shit!
It seems that I'm part of your disease, aren't I?
My genetics are…
highly valued, right?
So I think that this…
[Diana] No.
…should ruin your stupid little game.
[Diana] No, don't do it, no!
No, no, no! Idiot.
-No. -[Verônica grunts]
Touch my daughter and I kill your mother!
Our mother.
[grunts]
Who do you think will suffer the most?
[horse snorting]
Me or you?
Just let me and my daughter out of here.
I'm serious!
She's already been fertilized. That would be a waste.
You make me do things I don't wanna do.
No!
[sobbing]
[Lila sobbing] Oh, Mom!
[Verônica sobbing]
You are beaten, Verônica.
[door unlocks]
[Jerônimo sighs]
I've been trying to help you since the day I met you.
But you won't cooperate, Verônica.
Think you're something special?
Huh?
-A visionary? -[Jerônimo sighs]
You think you and your father are so different,
but the only difference is that you fertilize women by force
and think it isn't rape.
But it is rape.
You're scum.
Just like him.
The problem is you don't comprehend how important this is yet.
Lucky for you
that your path led you here.
It was your depraved mob that led me here.
[Jerônimo] You're like me.
A child of Monsignor and Diana.
[Jerônimo sighs]
The truth is that you tried your whole life…
but you've never fit in.
Trying to be a clerk,
in a stupid fantasy with your father, the corrupt cop,
in some mediocre life with your husband and your kids,
but none of it was enough for you.
You want more.
More, more.
Hmm?
It wasn't the mob that separated you from your children.
You did that.
The mob, Brandão, Janete, Matias, were just an excuse.
What did you feel
when you killed Brandão?
Pleasure.
I was defending myself.
Brandão was burned alive in chains.
He was no longer a threat.
You killed him because you wanted to.
And then you moved on without remorse.
All this time you've been trying to find your place.
[Verônica gasps]
I can see how fatigued you are.
Look at you.
[Verônica sniffling]
Always running, hiding.
When was the last time that
your life made sense?
You don't even remember.
Can you imagine life with no suffering?
Pain-free?
No disease?
-No cancer? -[chair clangs]
[sighs]
It's a new species.
Children of incest.
Perfectly selected.
If I can master the science and gain power over my evolution
to improve what I am, why not?
[Verônica sniffles]
[somber music playing]
You are the broodmare now.
You are perfect.
I know it's hard.
But whenever you feel alone, hopeless, broken, remember…
This is where you belong.
[kisses]
[Jerônimo sighs]
[Verônica sobs]
-[Verônica grunts] -[Jerônimo] Ah!
[Verônica groans]
[Jerônimo moans]
[Verônica grunts]
-[sighing] -[groans]
[whimpering]
-[Verônica grunting] -[Jerônimo] Shh…
[yelling]
[Jerônimo shushing]
-Shh… -[Verônica panting, whimpering]
You'll thank me for everything I'm doing for you.
[Verônica struggling]
[Verônica panting]
[Jerônimo sighs]
You look great.
Were you gonna let her kill me back there?
Guess I'm not worth anything to you.
I was bluffing, Diana.
You won't stop fighting with me.
When I die, you'll suffer.
It's not about avoiding fighting.
It's about knowing to make peace.
Didn't you teach me that?
-[baby gurgling] -[girl shushing]
[Verônica whispering] Hey. Psst.
-Come here. -[shushing]
Did he promise to let you go after you have the baby?
It's not true.
I know you're still in there, Laís.
That's your name, right?
Laís.
You're from Matias' orphanage.
They promised you a better life.
And now, to survive, you obey.
[melancholy music playing]
But there is no better life.
You're just another one of their victims.
Laís!
[Verônica exhales]
[clicks tongue]
[sighs]
[Laís exhales]
[chains rattling]
You're not locked up.
You never tried to escape?
I have.
He hunted me down.
It's impossible to get out.
And at least he finally trusts me.
How'd that happen?
Once I have my baby, he'll let me go.
Yes, that's the deal.
No, there is no deal.
-It's a lie. -[Laís] Mm-mm.
Jerônimo killed that baby's mother.
I saw it.
He didn't even let her touch her child.
I saw a pile of corpses in the woods.
What do you want from me?
Laís, listen to me, the only way we make it out of here alive
is if we stick together.
I can't.
Laís,
we're gonna finish that son of a bitch.
It's gonna be today.
This is nightshade.
I got it in the woods.
[somber music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[tense music playing]
[man] Where's our dinner?
It's not ready yet.
I'll let you know when it's done.
[music accelerates]
[Diana] Aw, darling!
That's a shame,
but, of course, we understand if you're not coming.
See you next time, then.
[Laís breathing rapidly]
[microphone feedback]
[Jerônimo] Good evening, everyone.
It's an honor to have such a special group of friends.
Thank you for being here, each and every one of you.
I'll be brief
because I know you're all looking forward to what the night has in store for us.
[smooth jazz playing]
As usual, we're innovating.
In front of you is a tablet
which you can use to bid on each of the lots as they come in.
Please make yourself completely at home.
Here
you can be who you really are.
Tonight we'll be setting out on a journey
where pleasure and possibilities…
can walk together.
Have fun.
[crowd applauding]
[indistinct whispering]
[tense music playing]
-We don't have much time. -[chain rattling]
Here.
Prata?
Finally, I was about to have a heart attack.
Don't talk, just call the police right now!
[tense music playing]
Who are you?
Gisele Carneiro, I'm related to Jerônimo.
There's a private event today.
I'm sure he'll want to see me.
Tell Jerônimo that Gisele Carneiro is here at the entrance, please.
-[men exclaiming] -[clapping]
PLACE YOUR BID
[horse whinnying]
AGE: 16 HAIR: BLONDE
-I'm scared, Mom. -[Verônica] I know.
I know, I'll get us out of here. Okay?
Where's Carol?
I know she was in here!
Where is she?
[tense music playing]
PLACE YOUR BID YOUR BID HAS BEEN ACCEPTED
[applause]
Gisele! What a surprise.
Come with me.
Oh, Gisele, Gisele.
Tell me why you're here.
I'm here for Angela.
Who told you she's here?
I know that she's here.
[soft classical music playing]
Do we have a problem?
Where is my daughter, Diana?
Gisele thinks Angela is here.
Have you tried talking to Matias? Seems like he's escaped prison.
I am not playing with you, Jerônimo! Tell me where my daughter is!
Lying would just be worse, Jerônimo.
Let me take Gi to see where her daughter is staying.
I'm telling you, it was a mistake for her to set foot on our farm.
Come on, Gi.
I'll take you to your daughter.
Here's the thing:
every single one of you came here as girls, but now you're women.
And we'll walk in there
and we will fight for our freedom
and for the memory of those who are no longer alive to fight with us.
[stomping in unison]
We know who we are, you know who you are.
You've already proven what you're capable of.
We're going to walk in there and we're gonna fight!
Together!
Because no one will do it for us.
[stomping and chanting]
[all] Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
[stomping and chanting continue]
Ha, ha, ha, ha…
[stomping and and chanting fades]
[man on radio] Unit One to Headquarters, over.
[radio beeps]
[man] Unit One to Headquarters, does anyone copy? Over.
Where are you taking me to?
To see your daughter, isn't that what you want?
[Gisele]This is the last time I'll ask, where is my daughter?
I don't understand, she was here.
Stop bluffing! Where's Angela?
I'm not lying! She was here!
What did you do to my daughter in this place?
-[Diana grunts] -[Gisele yelps]
[both grunting]
[tense music playing]
-[flesh squelching] -[Diana groans]
[Diana grunts]
Ah! [groans]
[moans]
[distorted tense music playing]
[men exclaiming excitedly]
[tense music playing]
The men aren't answering.
What the hell? Where the fuck are you guys?
[Verônica] Feeling nervous, Jerônimo?
Let's start the show.
[siren wailing]
[siren continues]

[horse neighs]
[yelling]
[music intensifies]
[blood spurting]
[Verônica] Go with her. Keep her safe.
[horse neighing]
Where's Jerônimo?
I've looked everywhere, he's not here, Verônica.
[Verônica] I'll find him.
-[glass shattering] -[fire crackling]
[men yelling indistinctly]
[Jerônimo] Diana!
Diana!
Send the chopper.
[Diana whimpering]
[Jerônimo panting]
-[Diana sobbing] -[Jerônimo gasping]
-[Diana groaning] -Hold on.
I'm here. Hold on.
[Diana grunting]
[whimpering]
It's over, Jerônimo.
[Jerônimo] Stop fighting, Verônica.
Embrace who you are.
I won't give up on you.
Turn around, you son of a bitch.
I won't give up on you.
[Diana moaning weakly]
[tense music playing]
[Jerônimo] You're just like me, Verônica.
[Jerônimo grunts]
We are alike, but I can do things differently.
[groans]
No.
[sobbing]
[Diana gasping]
Let go of the gun, come on.
Do it.
Put the gun down, Diana.
Give me the gun.
Just give the gun here, Diana.
Gimme the gun now, please!
[intense music playing]
[Verônica breathing shakily]
[sirens wailing in distance]
[music fades]
[all] Surprise!
[Prata laughing]
[Verônica] It's not even my birthday!
[Paulo] Today will be like your second birthday, Verô.
[Verônica laughing]
[laughing]
-What's going on? -Looks like I've got an update.
They've made a statement. I'll read it for you, okay?
"After providing evidence against the Cosmas and Damian mob
and disrupting a women-auction scheme,
former Civil Police clerk Verônica Torres opted to enter into a plea deal
and was given leniency."
[Verônica exclaims happily]
-[Paulo] You're free, Verô! -Ah!
[joyous music playing]
[Angela] We're engaged.
[Prata] Wow, congratulations! Who proposed?
I did, of course.
So romantic, I love you guys.
-Aw! -Thanks!
[Verônica] How's your mom doing?
Well, she's in a coma, she's still under palliative care.
So nothing yet.
Oh, really?
I'm really sorry. You deserve to be happy.
-Lovebirds! -[giggling]
I can't stand it, they're so cute!
Gloria's getting out of the hospital this week, right?
[Carol] Yeah! Any news about the trials?
Well, nothing yet.
But every one of those bastards in the auction videos are going to trial.
Oh, I don't know, guys, they're gonna make an appeal.
It'll probably take years.
Six of them have been released for lack of evidence, so you know.
I don't know, I don't…
believe in the justice system very much.
So what are you doing now, Verônica?
Rejoining the police?
[chuckles] No.
I don't belong in the police.
What are you gonna do? Start writing?
That's brilliant, but I'd have to write under a pen name,
after everything.
Just kidding.
All I want to do now is just travel with these two over here and have fun.
Awesome, Verô, so at least this time,
keep out of trouble.
Oh absolutely! No thrills!
I'll pass on anything thrilling.
[Prata] Everyone, a toast, then?
[Verônica] Yes. Now that's the kind of thrill I want…
a toast!
[all cheering]
[Prata sighs]
I imagine that right now you're full of questions.
Lots.
And you've been kind enough not to ask me anything yet.
[melancholy music playing]
A mother's love is greater than anything, Verô,
you know that, right?
Your mother really wanted a child, but…
when your mother lost another baby,
your father thought she would go insane.
Carvana and him had the idea of
intercepting one of Monsignor's babies.
You.
I didn't know anything at the time, I… just did what Carvana asked.
So you switched the…
the documents of the dead baby with mine?
[Prata] Forgive me, my friend. Please.
[sighs]
Of course I forgive you.
Mmm.
[Verônica] Can you forgive me, sweetie?
I… feel so guilty for everything that happened to you.
You said I should stop
blaming myself for everything.
I…
I'm just afraid, Mom,
you know, that people will judge me for getting an abortion.
It was terrifying.
Oh, sweetie.
You know, I'm… scared.
Screw everybody else.
Screw them.
[sniffles]
I am with you.
'Kay?
Okay.
I am with you,
whatever happens, doesn't matter, anything…
I'll always be there.
[emotional music playing]
[machine beeping]
[sobbing]
[continues sobbing]
[emotional music playing]
Please don't go.
[sobbing]
[inhales deeply]
[beeping accelerates]
[gasps]
Mom…
Mom?
Mom!
[sobbing]
[sniffles]
[laughs]
[egg sizzling]
Going to the salon.
Will you be coming back for lunch, ma'am?
Mm-hmm.
Just wait for me.
[banging]
-Good morning, Verônica. -Good morning.
-[Carol] Morning.
Morning!
Want one?
No, I'm having lunch later.
But thanks.
[sighs]
[Verônica] Did you buy what I asked for?
These are good to eat, right?
