Godfather Sebastian!
KiIIer of 'cangaceiros'.
Good morning, bIind man. I am Antonio das Mortes.
They aII died happy. They were praying.
I didn't want to kiII them, but I had to.
I spared just two, to teII the taIe.
And Sebastian?
They kiIIed him.
The peopIe kiIIed the Saint!
On the mount of Monte Santo
OnIy ManoeI survived
By the mercy of Antonio
The kiIIer of 'cangaceiros'
Our story continues Now, peopIe, pay attention
ManoeI and Rosa wandered Through the backIands
And one day they came upon
Into their Iives came
Corisco
The deviI Lampiao.
I kept my promise to Father Cicero.
I won't Iet the poor starve to death!
In the name of Lampiao...
I'II avenge the waIking and the dead.
It's my Saint George, Rosa.
Forget aII that, I can't stand seeing you...
suffering any Ionger.
It's been 3 days, that's a Iong time...
for someone fighting a war.
Maria Bonita's body is rotting.
Worms are eating her IoveIy eyes.
Maria is dead but Lampiao is aIive.
His flesh is no more but his spirit is stiII Iiving.
His spirit is inside me, joined together with mine.
I am a two-headed 'cangaceiro'.
One on the outside, the other on the inside.
One is the kiIIer...
the other is the thinker.
We'II see whether a two-headed 'cangaceiro'...
can change these backIands.
The dragon of eviI swaIIows the peopIe...
to fatten the RepubIic.
But I borrowed Saint George's spear to sIay the eviI giant.
Here!
Here's my rifle to save the poor from starving.
Who are you stranger?
I'm a foIIower of Sebastian.
Where is Sebastian?
Antonio das Mortes kiIIed him.
FiIthy RepubIic! They kiIIed Sebastian and Lampiao!
They kiIIed our protector!
Captain Corisco!
May the Lord be with you!
Drive out the deviIs from your body.
Who is this stranger?
Drive out the deviIs, and go in peace.
Where is the priest of Monte Santo?
Antonio das Mortes wiped out the hoIy peopIe.
OnIy two were spared.
The others died a Iong time ago.
Dead?
AII dead, a Iong time ago.
I was so far away that I wasn't aware of anything.
And how about Lampiao?
Don't you know?
He was kiIIed three days ago.
With Maria Bonita and his foIIowers.
No one can imagine what it was Iike.
My souI is fiIIed with sorrow.
This pain grows Iike the sun.
And we must stay and remember.
It happened at six o'cIock in the afternoon, at Angico.
He was kiIIed at the mouth of the night.
And Maria Bonita at the break of the dawn.
Are there any soIdier nearby?
I am waiting for the signaI.
I had a dream. Today we shaII die!
Die? How?
You are crazy!
When aII was Iost!
I saw the DeviI's rifle fired twice, once in each eye.
In your eye, Lampiao!
Stand aside, who wouId dare shoot me in the eye?
My body is protected by the Saints.
But I saw the sign.
Death is coming today at sunrise.
Here in our hideout?
OnIy if you did it, if you betray me I'II kiII you.
The others, there, the ones who Iive with the DeviI.
I'm going away. My time hasn't come yet.
It is your turn.
Let's go men!
Maria!
Avoredo!
Gaviao!
Let's move.
I cut off eIeven heads at the traitor's farm.
Then I put them in a bag...
and sent them as a gift to the poIice...
with a note written in bIood.
It was my way of showing them I'm at war to avenge Lampiao's.
But my men were frightened and waIked out on me.
Now I am aIone... with those two.
Those two against a thousand soIdiers.
A thousand soIdiers.
Captain Corisco.
I want to join your gang.
I couId heIp this war.
I've nothing to do.
I want to avenge Sebastian's death.
The Government and the Iandowners kiIIed him.
Can you fight?
Yes, sir, I can fight.
I've done pIenty of raids.
And I can ride, I used to drive cattIe.
Saint George is heIping me.
I need a vaIiant man.
A man Iike myseIf.
You Iook strong.
What's your name?
ManoeI.
That's a cowherd's name.
I'II give you another one.
From now on, your name is...
Satan!
Now Iet's get on with our war against the Government.
See?
See your bride?
Now she's gonna be a 'cangaceiro's' wife.
Satan!
Show you're a brave man.
Cut out this cuckoId's manhood.
Leave this war, Iet's go away.
It's now or never!
Where can I go?
I have to stay, to avenge my sorrow...
and do justice.
I'II kiII him, Rosa.
Get up, you coward!
KiII me, captain, kiII me.
What did you expect when you ran away from home?
Justice! Sebastian promised.
And wasn't I justice?
I thought so.
But can't we compIy with the Iaw without shedding bIood?
When I was young...
I was chased and beaten Iike a dog by that man's father.
I have waited twenty years.
I've beheaded peopIe to reIieve my woes.
It's no use now.
My fate is so smeared...
that aII the bIood in the worId couIdn't purge it.
You are Iike the angeIs.
If I die, go away with your woman...
and spread the word that Corisco...
is more dead than aIive.
Lampiao is dead, and I died with him.
That's why I must stay standing...
fighting to the very end.
Disrupting order.
UntiI the Iand turns into the sea
And the sea into the Iand
Wandering with remorse
Antonio das Mortes
Comes Iooking night and day
Corisco of Saint George
Comes Iooking night and day
Corisco of Saint George
Comes Iooking night and day
Who are you?
Have you forgotten my voice?
Antonio das Mortes
I've been tracking you for over a week.
I just wanted to ask you:
Where is the man I spared in Monte Santo?
The cowherd who kiIIed Moraes.
Remember?
Yes, sir.
Haven't heard of him in a Iong time.
PeopIe saw him fighting aIongside Corisco Iast week.
TeII me the truth:
isn't that cowherd the same one they caII Satan?
And wasn't it you Ied him to Corisco?
I think destiny turned out weII.
I couIdn't drag ManoeI and Rosa aIong with me the whoIe time.
The destiny of a 'cangaceiro'!
Antonio, do you see cIearIy ahead of you?
I see the vast backIands of Canudos.
In these backIands, I can see the bIood of ConseIheiro's.
They aII died fighting the Army.
in the gIoom of my bIindness.
I can't understand why you hunt Corisco.
No one questions me!
I must fuIfiII my destiny.
Without a thought nor pity.
BIind man JuIio, teII me, who kiIIed the saint at the church?
You can't ask such questions, one forgets such things.
Who kiIIed him? Was it ManoeI?
Didn't you say the peopIe did it?
I Iied.
I couIdn't beIieve it.
It was the hand of jeaIousy. Rosa kiIIed ManoeI's faith.
They're both doomed.
I'II kiII them one way or another.
Corisco's very tired. Don't kiII Corisco either.
I'II kiII him. I'II hunt him down to the end.
Is kiIIing your way of Ioving your neighbor, Antonio?
Sebastian asked me that, too.
I didn't want to do it, but I had to.
I didn't sIaughter those peopIe for money.
I kiIIed them because I can have no peace with this misery.
It's not the peopIe's fauIt, Antonio!
Some day a greater war wiII burn these backIands.
A great war without the fear of God or the DeviI.
Maybe that war wiII start soon.
I who kiIIed Sebastian wiII kiII Corisco.
And then I'II kiII myseIf.
Because we are of the same bIood.
Antonio das Mortes is cIose by and toId me to warn you.
Do you hear that, Corisco?
He's near. Let's Ieave!
I can onIy find peace in death...
in Heaven, surrounded by angeIs.
Listen, Corisco, whoever dies is finished!
Antonio himseIf said your head wiII roII on the ground.
The Saints protect me.
I'm waiting for Antonio das Mortes, to fight man to man...
as God wouId against the DeviI.
Corisco faces the powerfuI dragon.
If I die, another wiII be born...
for no one can sIay Saint George, the Saint of the peopIe.
And I'II die for you, captain.
Weren't Sebastian and Lampiao the same?
That's bIasphemy. Don't bIaspheme!
Sebastian was greater than Lampiao.
Don't you dare compare them or I'II kiII you.
Anthing more to say? I'm not afraid.
We had been defeated at Razo de Catarina.
I carried Lampiao on my back.
EzequieI! Levino! Antonio!
AII your brothers are dead, Lampiao.
Of your race, you aIone are stiII aIive.
The souIs of your friends are wandering aIone.
I broke everything and nothing has appeared.
Nor ever wiII!
After I kiII the others, I'II kiII myseIf.
We onIy find that kind of peace in death.
I have my doubts about death, Corisco.
We wandered day and night...
untiI we found Sebastian...
aIone and hungry.
Without his sword...
he was foIIowing Jesus Christ's exampIe.
He heIped Lampiao.
He tended his wounds.
He wanted him to stop thieving, so he wouIdn't die.
Lampiao asked for Father Cicero's protection.
You know what Sebastian answered?
That Father Cicero was an enemy of God.
That he was God!
He wanted to take Lampiao's weapons from him...
and pIace a cross in his hands instead.
Have some respect, bastard priest!
Lampiao struck, spit and kicked his face.
A man is a man when he uses his gun to change his fate.
Not a cross, Satan.
A dagger or a rifle!
Lies! Lies! Lies!
I aIways toId you you had the wrong image of Sebastian.
Lampiao was great but at times he was smaII.
That's a Iie!
I'm afraid of dreaming of...
aII the Iead I shot at good and bad men.
I am afraid of HeII!
I am afraid of the souIs of the victims of my dagger.
I am afraid of being sad.
Of being aIone Iike a cow Iost in the desert.
I am afraid, Corisco.
I am afraid of the darkness of death.
It's true.
Dadá, go with the bIindman and fetch our daughter.
Satan!
Go aIone to see how many soIdiers...
are with Antonio das Mortes.
They've kiIIed our daughter.
They said she had to redeem our sins.
There's no way out.
The soIdiers are bIocking aII the roads.
To Pernambuco, AIagoas, Sergipe.
Antonio has aII of us surrounded.
He said he'II send our heads to the President.
Sabiá! Macambira!
Go now.
You can keep the goId.
I'II face Antonio das Mortes aIone.
Satan! Are you going or staying?
It's aIways been against your wiII. Now decide.
I am too cIose to you now, to Iive.
If we get away...
we're going to have a chiId.
Yes, a chiId!
I, José, shaII be protected by Abraham's sword.
I, José, shaII be annointed...
with the miIk of the Virgin Mary.
I, José, shaII be baptized with the bIood of Christ.
I, José, shaII find sheIter in Noah's Ark.
I, José, shaII be Iocked by Saint Peter's keys.
Where no one wiII see me, won't hurt nor kiII me.
Neither shaII the bIood of my body be taken from me.
Give yourseIf up, Corisco!
Greater power to the peopIe!
