Could I have everyone's attention for just a moment, please?
Good evening, everyone.
Well, me and my beloved husband, the Governor.
Come here, honey.
My love.
We're both really happy to have all of you here tonight.
But we wanted to thank one person in particular.
This lovely girl, Viviane.
- Hello! Thank you. - Vivi, come here. A round of applause.
Thank you.
Viviane is so special!
This girl here has turned her life around.
She's an example to each and every one of us tonight.
- I'll say it. - Go ahead.
We have chosen Vivi to be our voice,
our face, for the younger voters.
So, please, give her a round of applause!
- Thank you, darling, for being here. - Thank you, everyone.
For those of you who don't know me,
my story has caught the attention of many people.
Young people talk to me every day on my blog
telling me how inspired they are, how much they want to change.
And I also want to write a book.
- Great! - How about that!
I want to tell every detail of my story
so that all of you can know it.
And I'm counting on the help of everyone here.
- Definitely. - Thank you for your trust.
Like we are counting on you to convey our message to the youth.
A toast to the Governor!
Cheers!
A toast to Rio de Janeiro!
Rio de Janeiro!
Aldo, what's happening, man?
- What's going on? - Calm down.
Things are getting better, Governor. We're going to turn this around.
The hell we are!
Here's the thing, Aldo.
I didn't put you in this damn position so a thug could make a fool of the police.
Colibri's dead.
The gang will lose strength.
We'll put police on every corner. We'll take our territory back.
You either bring me Pedro Dom's head,
or I'll take yours.
INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS
Lico! Fucking talk to me!
Let's see how you handle being the boss of Rocinha.
MARÉ COMPLEX
There's about ten of these in the world.
It arrived yesterday.
A little gift for the new boss of Rocinha.
I was thinking about your offer.
There's no way, yo.
I know you're at risk of losing Rocinha.
I'm not the man for this. I'm no boss.
What do you mean?
- What are you then? - A thief.
An addict.
I can't be the boss of anything. I'll do more harm than good.
Are you a teacher as well, kid?
You just got here and you're trying to teach me?
The opposite! I'm saying I don't know a thing about this.
Let me tell you something.
I didn't call you here for no reason.
It's a big dog fight. Way bigger than you.
I'll do anything you want.
I'm the most notorious thief in Rio. I can steal whatever you want.
I don't need to steal to have what I want.
Check out my house.
Check out my profits.
I don't need another thief in this city.
There must be something you want that's not for sale.
Yes, there is.
I'm not sure you can do it.
Just tell me.
I can do anything.
I give you my word.
But you have to give me yours.
Once it's done, you'll let me walk away.
You want to fly, right, kid?
We have a deal.
I'll show these motherfuckers who's in charge in Rio.
I don't know what to do, Arcanjo. They're going to kill Pedro.
Yeah.
Ressurreição is a small town in Mato Grosso.
Close to the border.
My family has a house there. It's abandoned.
It might be Pedro's last resort.
Yeah, everything's different now.
The police might forget, but this gang, CDC,
won't let the Governor take Rocinha back.
They won't let him go.
It's almost impossible to find Pedro.
You have to hurry. Now it's a matter of time.
- Let's go, bro. - Let's go.
Hey, Mom.
It's been so long.
You look thin.
I'm fine.
She's beautiful.
Really?
How did you pull off this miracle?
Every mother is half saint, half witch.
Go on.
Quickly.
Thank you.
May I?
Hey, little princess.
I'm your father.
Yeah, I'm your father.
I've been dying to meet you.
Your father does a lot of crazy shit.
Your father's crazy.
Yeah?
Yeah.
But...
I promise I'll never be far away from you again.
From either of you.
I'm sorry, for everything.
I had to leave.
- Or I'd be in deep shit. - I know.
And I'm afraid of...
I don't know, getting arrested at any time,
and them taking her away from me.
I'm here.
I'll look after you two.
I had to register her without your name.
It's too risky.
Hold her.
What's this?
Get up, Pedro.
- Stop it! - Jasmin.
You are the most incredible woman I've met in my life.
For real.
You are fucking amazing!
Amazing!
You got out of crime, quit snorting and are raising our child by yourself.
I fucking admire you.
You don't even need me anymore.
But I can't live without you.
I can't. I'm serious.
There hasn't been a single day
when I haven't thought about you two.
You are the love of my life.
- Seriously? - Seriously.
I know I've asked you so many times before, but...
- I swear this is the last time. - What?
I just need some time
to sort out my life here.
I promise that if I'm not back,
in a week,
I'll never come after you again.
Look at that. Ramalho, the man!
RIO NEEDS TO BE SAFE VOTE FOR ALDO
- Secretary? - Please.
Give me the good news, will you? Are we getting close?
Without Colibri's protection, Dom is fucked.
But our time is short.
Just a second. Please, Elaine, give us a minute.
We're working on a way to get him out of Maré.
Who is "we"?
Didn't you understand who the hero of this story is?
You, damn it!
You'll arrest the most dangerous criminal in Rio.
Who's got the balls for that, Ramalho?
And listen...
Leave Maré and Rocinha with me.
If I get elected,
the secretary position will be vacant.
I win and so do you.
I'm going to go mad.
I can't just wait around.
I'll have to go there eventually.
What are you planning to do?
This is way bigger than you and Pedro, Victor.
It's a matter of public safety.
Your son is just another pawn in this power struggle.
I need to get him out of Rio. I need to talk to Pedro, that's all.
I'm scared.
Honey, now is the time for us to have faith.
Think about the connection you have with your son. It's so strong.
- Hello? - It's the pizzeria.
- Pizza? I didn't order pizza. - Dom's Pizzeria.
DAD, I WANT TO SEE YOU! GET READY, I'LL SEND SOMEONE
TO PICK YOU UP AT STATION 6 VERY EARLY TOMORROW.
IS 4 CHEESE PIZZA STILL YOUR FAVORITE?
Victor?
Where do you think you're going, playboy?
What's up, man? This is Pedro Dom's father.
Take off your helmet.
Your son is a legend.
Let him go, Pará.
Hey, Dad.
Pedro. Listen to me, son.
- I got a place for you... - Calm down.
Take it easy.
How are you?
Good.
Lalá told me about it.
The cancer.
That's fucked.
I'm fine, Pedro.
- I started treatment. I'm good. - Really? You quit smoking?
What did you get yourself into, son? Damn it!
I met my daughter.
Your granddaughter is beautiful.
Know what? She takes after her dad.
Let me tell you.
I've started understanding the things you did.
Being a dad is tough.
Yeah.
You're only 23, you've got your whole life ahead of you.
The place I've found is in the middle of nowhere, close to the border.
You'll go there. Stay hidden. No one will find you.
You can move on.
But you'll have to cut ties
with cocaine, with adrenaline, with people, everything.
Including me.
You must leave this life behind.
Isolate yourself from the world.
You're right, Dad.
That's what I want, to leave it all behind.
Exactly.
Just me, Jasmin and our daughter.
Sure! Sure!
- But it has to be now! - I can't now.
- Come with me. - I have one last thing to sort out.
I can't now, Dad.
So I'll stay here with you.
- No, you won't. - Yes, I will.
No, you won't, man.
I promise I'll get this shit straight.
And in a few days I'll let you know.
I'll show up at your door.
Ready to leave.
I'll be waiting.
Here.
So you know I mean it.
- What's this? - My lucky coin.
- What about it? - Keep it.
- No. You keep it. - Keep it. I'm asking you.
Stop being stubborn.
Okay, on one condition.
I'll give it back as soon as you get out of here.
When you're free, far away. That's my condition.
Okay.
I love you, Dad.
- I love you, son. - Look after yourself.
- I've gotta go. - I'll be waiting.
BE THERE TOMORROW. IT WILL WORK, DAD!
Holy shit!
The Governor lives well.
Not gonna bail, are you?
You don't know me, do you, kid?
You do your thing and I'll do mine.
Fuck! Are you okay, man?
Hey, you! Are you okay?
You need an ambulance?
Are you hurt?
- Are you okay? - Help me get up.
Slowly, damn it!
- You should go to a hospital. - No, no!
- No, thank you. - Are you sure?
Thank you, sir.
Let's go. Hurry!
Belinha.
Belinha!
You really made a difference to our...
Wait.
- Fuck! - What is this?
CDC IS TERROR
What the fuck is this?
What is this, honey?
It's still fresh.
- What did you do? - Calm down.
- What did you do? - Calm down!
- What did you do? - I didn't do anything!
- Who are you dealing with? I told... - Shut up!
- I told you... - Shut up. Stop it!
Where the fuck are you, motherfuckers?
What's happening?
Be quiet.
Officer! There he is.
Son of a bitch!
RAT
What is this, Aldo? What's happening to you?
The guy broke into my house.
What? Do you want a picture
of the cock he painted on my wall to prove it?
Listen, Aldo. It's over, bro. It's over.
Let's start talking to the gang, damn it!
Now. There you go.
You see?
Now the Governor will be eating out of my hand again.
Loyalty is rewarded, my boy.
You're the smartest guy I know.
And the dumbest too.
The deal is done.
Sure that's what you want?
Can I go?
DAD I'M FREE.
SENDING MESSAGE MESSAGE SENT
Fuck! Get down!
Watch out, damn it!
Shoot him!
Go, go!
Come on, let's go!
Let's fucking go!
Go, go!
He dropped the gun!
Go! He's running! Get down there!
...a building in Lagoa, where Pedro Dom was caught early this morning.
The criminal, Pedro Dom, is dead.
He was captured thanks to an intelligence operation...
Aldo, any further statements about what happened?
Our work has been carried out in the interest of public safety.
With great determination, peace has been restored.
This was very serious work...
Pedro! Pedro Dom!
BREAKING NEWS PEDRO DOM DEAD IN SHOOTOUT WITH THE POLICE
A luxury building on the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon
marks the pursuit of Pedro Lomba Neto,
also known as Pedro Dom.
After resisting arrest,
he was killed near a dumpster while attempting to hide.
The police set up a perimeter after discovering, through a phone tap,
that Pedro Dom would be in the area at dawn.
Three officers were injured in the escape by a grenade thrown by Pedro Dom...
A hole in my son's chest.
The bullet that killed my son was shot here.
I have the report.
It was shot here and it left here.
It means he was kneeling,
it was shot from top to bottom, descending,
from his back.
VICTOR LOMBA FOUGHT FOR YEARS
FOR THIS STORY TO BE TOLD.
There's no greater pain
than the pain of losing a child. There is not.
VICTOR DIED IN 2018, OF LUNG CANCER,
WHILE THIS SERIES WAS BEING WRITTEN.
I don't know if this will help people not to take drugs,
or governments to change their weird policies.
I don't think so,
but this will ease the hearts of many parents
who lost a child to drugs.
Like me.
PEDRO DOM DIED IN 2005
AT THE AGE OF 23.
