A FEW YEARS FROM NOW...
What was that?
Look up ahead.
[MAN] We'll take two.
[DRIVER] What the hell.
IF YOU GO, GO IN PEACE
What's with the lab coat?
Isn't it hot?
Let's just say, it's kind of protection.
Got it.
[WOMAN] They're after Lunga.
There's a big reward on her head too.
Don't expect me to turn Lunga in.
Me neither.
[DRIVER] They're holding it all back.
[WOMAN] Nobody did anything?
[DRIVER] Lunga tried.
Now, I fill up with water 5-6 km up river.
They blocked all access.
About four months ago,
Lunga rocked up
with her gang and all guns blazing.
They killed three of them but couldn't get it open.
Only Pacote knows where she is.
Look...
[DISTANT GUNSHOT] - Bastard.
They're assholes.
Trigger-happy morons.
Anything unusual, they open fire to scare you off.
Let's go.
Sure.
[TRUCK SOUNDS ITS HORN]
[DRIVER CRIES OUT]
If only all cucks were like that.
[DRIVER PULLS HANDBRAKE]
Mrs. Domingas!
[WOMAN] Damiano.
- Open up. [WOMAN LAUGHS]
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
[GENTLY STRUMMED GUITAR]
[MAN] Pass it on.
Grab the case.
[VOICES] The suitcase!
Careful with the suitcase.
- Here comes the case. - The suitcase!
[WOMAN] Thank goodness.
[SUITCASE ZIPPER OPENING]
I'm glad you could make it, sweetie.
Your grandmother.
[GUITAR STRUMMING CONTINUES]
[WOMAN] Carmelita!
Let's show some respect for Carmelita.
You old witch!
Whore! Lowlife cunt! And you shut your mouths.
Shut up or you'll regret it.
I'd be curious to see if,
for my funeral,
so many people turn out.
[MAN] Nobody will.
You were evil through and through!
You! What are you staring at?
Get away from that window!
You stuck-up prick!
[WOMAN] Ok, time to go. - You, leave me alone.
Come on, woman, we're going.
- Don't you... [WOMAN] This is not the time or place.
[CROWD JEERS]
I'll be back.
She's my friend.
Everybody, can I have your attention?
I'll make the most of the contribution from Domingas,
who is clearly very emotional,
to say a few words about my mother, Carmelita.
Carmelita had children.
She had grandchildren.
Great-grandchildren, godchildren...
She had lots of friends.
In our family, there are bricklayers
and scientists.
Teachers and doctors.
Architects,
gigolos and whores.
But not a single thief.
There are people in São Paulo,
Europe,
the United States...
People in Bahia and Minas Gerais.
Unfortunately, many couldn't come
to pay their respects
because of the problems in our region.
Instead, they sent their support.
Precious support for Bacurau.
Which goes to show
that Carmelita and Bacurau live on in all of them.
Thank you, everybody.
[CROWD APPLAUDS] Viva Carmelita!
[CROWD] Viva!
[MAN] It's time.
Careful, with the sheet.
[SPEAKER FEEDBACK]
My dear friends from Bacurau...
Let us begin the funeral procession in honor of Mrs. Carmelita,
which is why all of Bacurau is here with us today.
Carmelita lived 94 years to tell the story.
She was a major figure in our community.
As is customary, I'll now play you
the message from Mr. Sergio Ricardo...

[INAUDIBLE CHATTER]
[VOICE ON SPEAKERS] Dear listeners...
Breaking news.
After the incidents in Serra Verde,
for now and all next week,
we're cut off from southern Brazil. The highway is shut
for at least another week. [INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
The upcoming festival in the neighboring village is canceled.
With motorcycle access only, tricky to get your goat there.
Anyway, chin up!
It's a few minutes after 7 AM.
Make the most of life as long as we have life.
Migraine, nausea, feeling like death.
That's a hangover.
[MAN] Morning, doctor.
Morning.
I was drunk so my wife kicked me out.
I need a bed to get some sleep.
Take number 2.
- Draw the curtain, please. [MAN] Thank you.
Go home and drink heaps of water.
And vomit.
[DOMINGAS] Vomit. More water. And vomit again.
[VOICE ON SPEAKERS] Hello, hello, Paulo Roberto...
Jade's trying to reach you.
Answer the phone!
You're just down the street, so keep connected.
Jade wants you to answer her call.
Today's weather forecast.
Temperatures will reach a high of 36°C.
[MAN] Morning.
And a low of 37°C. It's a furnace out there.
Some general information...
St. Francis natural leather sandals!
Humility is the secret to success.
This is DJ Urso, to the beat of Araripe.
Look.
[WOMAN] Grandma's cake.
Like she knew you were coming.
[MAN] Morning.
This dress was her favorite for wearing around the house.
Morning, Mr. Plinio.
- Teresa, Madalena... [TERESA] Hi, Pacote.
Morning, Pacote.
[PACOTE] If you don't mind, I go by Acãcio now. You see?
- Can I sit down? - Sure. Take a seat, Acãcio.
Acãcio. I like it.
Acãcio Albuquerque da Silva.
You're doing ok?
Trying.
The thing in Serrita, that wasn't you?
Mr. Plinio, that was different.
Different but the same, Pacote.
I am trying, Mr. Plinio.
A compilation of your greatest hits is out there.
There's a video?
[ACÃCIO] No, it's dumb. Please, don't watch it.
It's a video someone posted.
You can't really recognize me.
No. 6 isn't me. It's another dude.
Knowing you, it's you.
[ACÃCIO] You saw it?
Don't watch that stuff, Madalena.
Everybody watched it, dad.
[ACÃCIO] The clothes in the living room, they belonged to Carmelita?
Sleep with me tonight?
You're not in mourning?
I'm not religious.
Whoa.
[ACÃCIO] What was going on at the funeral yesterday?
Domingas lost it, right?
[TERESA] She was clearly emotional, as my father said.
Bacurau couldn't handle Carmelita.
Now nobody knows how to handle Domingas.
Her wife can handle her.
[BRASS BAND TUNING UP]
[PLINIO] What do you see up there?
[CHILD] A plane!
Can it go faster than a bird?
[PLINIO] Sure. It flies at 850 km/h.
From where?
- From São Luis, headed to São Paulo. [CHILD] It flew into a cloud.
So, the plane's flying to São Paulo.
How far is Bacurau from São Paulo?
[PLINIO] Here, let's look it up on the map.
Look, everybody.
Let's see if we can find Bacurau here.
Let's see now...
- Here we are... [CHILD] Bacurau's probably too far, sir.
The satellite goes over here.
Sir, Bacurau should be here somewhere.
[PLINIO] It should.
Let's look on the class computer.
In this heat, we need water.
Let's try the other computer.
Bacurau must be on the map.
If we can't find it here, we'll take our time to look.
[CHILD] Are we going back inside, sir?
[PLINIO] Yes, we're going to look it up in the classroom.
Let's all try to find Bacurau on the map.
It's easy here. Let's see...
All right, everybody.
Here we go...
Hold on...
Forget the map. Let's go satellite mode.
Serra Verde...
What?
It should be here.
Where's Bacurau?
Where's Granny Stella's house?
Sir, don't we pay to be on the map?
No, Horacio.
Bacurau has always been here.
Down...
Here we have Serra Verde...
It should be right here.
Bacurau has always been on the map.
Well...
On this map here. Let's see.
Here, on this one, Bacurau appears.
This map shows Bacurau.
Darlene!
Tony Junior's coming.
So I see.
Listen up.
Tony Junior's here.
I repeat.
Tony Jr. is on his way.
He'll be with you in five minutes.
[LOUD MUSIC FROM SPEAKERS]
[VOICE ON SPEAKERS] I repeat. Tony Jr. is on his way.
I repeat.
Tony Jr. will be with you in five minutes.
Your attention, please.
For anyone who didn't hear Darlene's message,

Look out.
It's a surprise visit but we're on it.

[CHECKS MIC ON BULLHORN]
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
I know you're all listening to me.
I know we had our differences in the past.
But today,
I come to you with an open heart.
I bring you all kinds of goodies.
Books for the school,
which has the best library in the region, for sure.
The library run by Mr. Plinio and Ms. Angela.
Right, Angela?
I also bring supplies.
Food. Always important.
And coffins.
Medication.
I'm there for you, that's the honest truth.
Elections are coming, as everyone knows.
We are going to continue moving forward together.
I'm standing for another term, so that we can unite.
Starting with retinal scans.
I brought this reader device,
which makes life easy for those who cannot come to vote.
So come on out.
There's nothing to worry about.
[MAN] Open the dam, you crook!
[WOMAN] Release the water!
If only politics were so easy. I'd love to see you try.
The problem's far more complex, but we'll fix the water issue.
[WOMAN] Fuck you!
Easy now, let's talk. I'm open to dialogue.
[WOMAN] Go fuck yourself, you scumbag!
[MAN] Crook!
[WOMAN] Son of a bitch!
[MAN] Beat it!
[MAN] Get your lying ass out of here!
[WOMAN] Release the water!
[MUSIC STARTS UP AGAIN]
- She doesn't want to go. - Butt out, kid.
Pay up front.
You need to pay up front.
Leave her alone. Do it in the fucking truck.
[MAN] It's cool, she'll be right back.
You weren't nice last time.
All righty.
They're forcing Sandra to go!
[WOMAN] Pay up front. That's how it works.
The Mayor's taking Sandra by force.
Pay now.
[TONY JR.] What's this ruckus?
The girl will be back, no problem.
Listen, for your information,
whores vote too.
Put it on my tab for when I get back.
Let's go.
[DOMINGAS] Sandra?
The girl doesn't want to go.
You're taking her anyway.
I saw her come into the world.
I liked her mother very much.
If she comes back hurt,
I'll feed your cock to the hens.
[MUSIC FADES INTO DISTANT]
[WHIRRING]
[AMAURY] Evening, everyone.
We sorted the food you can see on the table.
- Now I'll hand over to Mr. Plinio. - Thanks, Amaury.
So then, folks,
we went through the supplies here.
Some things are past their expiration dates,
sometimes by more than six months.
We didn't throw it away. It's your call.
But I advise caution.
Tony Jr. donated a thousand books to our community.
[LAUGHING]
As usual, we'll take good care of the better ones.
We'll sort them together.
Please, Dr. Domingas...
This week Teresa brought, in her suitcase,
a selection of vaccines.
We are now stocked up
for polio, DPT and snake bite serum.
But let me call everyone's attention to this box load of Brasol IV
that Tony Jr. delivered today. [CROWD LAUGHS]
[MAN] It's a Trojan horse.
A black label drug
given away free of charge, without prescription.
As many of you already know,
Brasol IV is a mood inhibitor
presented as a powerful painkiller.
It's a drug taken by millions of people all over Brazil.
Don't ask me why,
but suppository is the most popular form of administration.
It's bad for you,
addictive, and it dulls your wits.
The box is here.
If you want some, help yourself.
I thought I'd let you know.
I just wanted to add...
I'd like to apologize to you all
for behaving so badly
at Carmelita's funeral.
Carmelita was an important person.
Carmelita is still important.
She's a sweetie when she's sober.
[PLINIO] Help yourself to food.
Take what you need and share.
Sandra?
Well?
- Are you ok? - I'm going home, all right?
[WOMAN] You good, Sandra?
[DOGS BARKING]
[RISING SOUND OF GALLOPING]
They're from Manelito's farm.
[ACÃCIO] And? - Nobody's answering.
Go take a look, that's the best idea.
- We'll be in touch. - Sure.
Thanks.
Horses bolting, nobody answering. Weird, right?
Manelito, it's Acãcio. Flãvio tried calling.
Your horses are in Bacurau. The guys are bringing them over.
[MAN] Your truck's full of holes.
- Come again? [MAN] It's got holes.
[SOUND OF RUNNING WATER]
Somebody shot at me.
[WOMAN] What's going on, Erivaldo?
[ERIVALDO] No idea. First I knew of this.
Two more here.
Go easy.
Plug the hole.
[MAN] With plastic? [ERIVALDO] Give me that...
What happened?
No idea, Pacote. I just noticed these bullet holes.
I took my usual route.
[DOMINGAS] Are you ok? [ERIVALDO] I'm fine.
You never use your mirrors?
[ERIVALDO] I keep my eyes on the road.
Plug those holes!
[TERESA] More buckets.
Hey, man, what's up?
[ACÃCIO] See anything strange on the road?
No, why?
[ACÃCIO] The water truck came in full of bullet holes.
Bullet holes?
[ACÃCIO] Three of them. You need to turn back.
No way.
We're on our way there.
[ACÃCIO] Too bad. I'm serious, turn back.
Wait, Pacote. Hold on.
[ACÃCIO] What's up?
[FLÃVIO] Two bikes headed for Bacurau.
Two motorbikes? Hold on...
Flãvio, what bikes?
[FLÃVIO] Strangers. On trail bikes.
Don't hang up. Are they stopping?
[FLÃVIO] Hold on, they're coming our way.
Still there? They're headed for Bacurau.
[DARLENE] Two trail bikes headed for Bacurau.
Both riders wearing helmets.
They'll be there in two minutes.
[NOTIFICATIONS PING ON MULTIPLE CELLPHONES]
[DARLENE] Two trail bikes headed for Bacurau.
Both riders wearing helmets...
We've drawn a crowd.
Morning.
How are you?
What's up out there?
An issue with the water truck or something.
Then you rock up with helmets on.
Bikers with helmets, we don't like that.
We're not real bikers, just out for a ride.
I thought so, from your outfits.
[WOMAN] Like them? - Sure.
Thanks.
Do you have beer?
Sure. Beer, cachaça...
No, just a beer, please.
Get the lady a beer.
Sparkling water?
[WOMAN] Yes.
[MAN] And what's that?
[WOMAN] The green one? [MAN] There.
A local soda. Want to try it?
No.
What are inhabitants of Bacurau called?
People!
[MAN] Is there a word? Bacarauans?
You came to see the museum?
Museum? What museum?
The Bacurau museum. It's good.
[WOMAN] Really?
[WOMAN] It's right next door.
And Bacurau? Does it mean anything?
It's a bird.
A small bird?
No, it's a fairly big bird.
I see.
Extinct, I guess?
Not here.
Only comes out at night. A hunter.
Anyway, thanks a lot.
No problem.
Go?
Thanks, bye.
[SINGING] Do you know, sir, anything about the water truck?
What about it?
Do you know, sir, anything about the water truck?
What happened to it?
It came in full of bullet holes.
[MAKES AN EXCLAMATION] [LAUGHS]
Very good.
Good-looking guy, he's gonna catch the queer eye
Nice, thanks.
Just like a movie star
His pride swells, his balls grow apart
Make the most of it now, dude, old age sneaks up on you
[LAUGHS]
Check out the pretty babe with her brown hair
Dark sultry eyes and slender pink lips
She'll give killer coitus and claim you were never near her hips
You've got me all wrong.
Great, thanks.
These folks from down south get no sleep and less sun
They all learn to fish without hook, line or fun
Acting like cocks of the walk
They don't know São Paulo's a powder keg!
It shows I'm from São Paulo?
[WOMAN] Here, this is for you.
Actually, I'm from Rio.
You can keep your money, lady.
I'm only messing with you
[LAUGHING]
Very good, really.
Very good.
Hey.
- Hi. - How are you?
- Here to see the museum? - No.
- How come? [MAN] Not today.
We're in a hurry.
- On the way back? - Yeah, maybe.
See the bullet-riddled truck?
[MAN] Bullet-riddled? - Three shots in my tanker.
Is it yours? That sucks.
[ERIVALDO] You didn't see anything on the road?
We left the road to ride on trails.
Really? Where you headed?
We're touring the region.
- Beautiful, right? - And hot.
Beautiful hills.
Hi, is that a 200?
Yup, 200.
I plan to get one.
_ - Excuse me. [ACÃCIO] Great machine.
When you came in, engine roaring...
Could hear it from miles around.
[WOMAN] Let's go? [MAN] Sure, go.
It's hot.
If you need anything,
I'm Erivaldo. This is Teresa and Acãcio.
- No, Pacote. [MAN] Pacote?
Interesting name.
A nickname.
We're João and Maria.
- João and Maria... - Nice meeting you.
Oddly, the village isn't on the map.
- Sure it is. - We just stumbled on it.
Stroke of luck 'cause we were thirsty.
- It's Bacurau. - I know, she said.
But it wasn't on the map and there's no signal.
[MAN] I tried sending a photo.
[WOMAN] I just got a message.
No signal, guys.
True enough, no signal.
Weird, we always have reception here.
Bye, good to meet you.
- Take care on the road. [MARIA] Sure thing.
[MOTORBIKE ENGINES START UP]
Shit, still no signal.
[HORSE WHINNYS]
[FLIES BUZZ]
Soraya and her little girl.
Wait there.
- Let's go. - Wait.
- Maciel! - Be right back.
Maciel, come on!
[MACIEL] Let's bail, Flãvio.
They're all dead.
[MACIEL] We're going to die.
No, they're tourists. Look at the outfits.
You didn't see what I saw.
I went into the house.
You didn't see what I saw.
We're going to die.
Hi there!
Good morning.
All good?
[FLÃVIO] Sure. You guys are riding trails?
You came from that farm?
Sure. The Tairaru farm.
If I were you, I wouldn't go. There's been a tragedy.
You got phones on you?
- The signal's... - Sure.
We called some guys to come out here.
You got a signal? I heard there's no signal here.
[FLÃVIO] There was no signal.
Let's see your phones.
Lady, why you got guns?
Do you have guns?
Look, lady...
This isn't supposed to happen around here.
What happened here?
You fucking bastards!
[REPEATED GUNSHOTS]
[RADIO CHATTER]

- Think we messed up? - It's done now. Let's go.

Oh, that was close!
[GASPS]
[MOTORBIKES APPROACHING]
[IN ENGLISH] Hey cowboys.
This water really stinks.
It's because it's from the well, it stinks but it's safe. Don't worry.
Hey, the drone thing? That was not cool, ok? I almost got hurt.
Hey, keep it easy, I was just fucking with you. Let's go!
Make yourselves comfortable, we'll be here in a minute.
Okay.
[MAN] I thought it would be simple.
We just went out there, collected water, some food, some...
Some extra fuel, like...
[HISS OF GAS]
[INAUDIBLE CHATTER]
[MAN] Meeting in five minutes. - Yes Michael.
- They leave like a rash... - Burns...
And then, so outside of that, the bugs, that were biblical. Eating me up...
[INAUDIBLE CHATTER]
Yeah...
How did I come to love this gun?
I was a babysitter in New York, and the grandfather,
must have had four Thompsons.
And he had them in this thick glass cabinet, I mean super hi-tech stuff.
And one day I asked him about that machine gun
and he took it out of the cabinet,
and placed it in my hand...
And that was that.
[IN PORTUGUESE] We speak Portuguese.
- Water? - No, thanks.
So.
Jake and Terry had a very successful first mission last night.
At the hacienda.
- Ta-Ra-iru... [JOÃO] Tarairu.
It's Tarairu.
- Whatever. [TERRY] Yeah it was tough.
But we did it.
It was intense.
I'm ready to go home, mission accomplished!
It was fucked up.
We are on a countdown now.
[MICHAEL] How is the signal jamming situation?
It's jammed, the signal is down and they are literally off the map.
People in Bacurau were complaining about the signal.
And the place was not on the maps, so it works.
[MICHAEL] Electrical shut down tomorrow.
They will be coming back with battery power straight after shut down,
but by then some panic should set in.
How is the truck?
The truck's ready, the local contractors came through.
Good. And the road?
[MARIA] Well the road is blocked, nobody is coming from Serra Verde.
Because of the people we are paying to do it.
Local contractors?
[MARIA] Yes sorry, the local contractors, and also there's no
street market for the next few days, so we are clear.
And no police, huh?
- No police here. [MARIA] No.
The old man's cabin is also isolated.
Damiano is his name.
We don't give a fuck what his name is.
Me and Willy will be paying him a visit.
Yeah, we won the draw.
I am so going... [RADIO STATIC]
[WILLY] Oh fuck...
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]
You all get one round,
shooting, at the target.
One round each, for the old man is cool.
[WOMAN] I think we'll be fine. [MICHAEL] Or use your knife.
Excuse me.
I think it's great that the cellphones are all laser, satellite jammed, and
the contractor got his truck, but
we have guns. And we have ammunition, right?
So what are we waiting for?
I mean, why the fuck are we sitting around some bullshit meeting
in a farmhouse, on the edge of town,
drawing straws to see who gets to sneak off,
and off farmer Pablo one at a time?
- How can you... [MAN] How about,
we just skip ahead to the part where we put the ammunition
in the guns, and we roll down main street and we do some damage?
I came for the body count!
I mean, let's just fuckin' go!
- Let's go! - Okay, okay, okay Joshua.
Thank you for your contribution.
Where were we?
But no credit for extra shooting.
Excuse me.
Could I ask you to please stop playing this video?
[IN PORTUGUESE] Let it go. - It creeps me out.
Please don't speak Brazilian here.
There is another angle.
You want to see it?
Look at it.
It is from his helmet.
[TERRY] Yeehaw, y'all are a bunch of cowboys, ain'tcha?
Those two you shot, friends of yours?
[JOÃO] Friends? Oh we don't shoot friends in Brazil.
But no, we come from a different region.
Oh, where you from?
We come from south of Brazil. It's a very rich region. With...
German and Italian colonies, more like you guys.
Like us? [LAUGHING AND SCOFFING]
[WILLY] They're not white, are they?
[LAUGHING]
How, could they be like us? We're white. You're not white.
They're not white?
[WILLY] Right? [TERRY] I don't know, they...
Well, you know.
They kinda look white... [LAUGHING]
But they're not.
Her lips and her nose give it away, you know.
More like white Mexicans, really.
You could be Italian, she could be Polish.
I think he's a handsome Latino guy.
[WOMAN] Yeah, Latino like...
Why do you do that?
Come on guys, knock it off. That's bullying.
[LAUGHING] - Amigo
Why did you shoot these people?
Well I did... we did,
what we did, because,
they would talk.
Yes. They lied to us.
They said they called somebody to let them know what had happened, and,
- we know they did not. [JULIA] Our point is.
You came here to work for us.
- Not to take our kills. [MICHAEL] Yeah.
You did a great job.
Finding these, little, innocent,
shit-hole town.
But you did something you shouldn't have done.
You killed people.
You are a murderer.
No, we did what we did to help our mission.
Our mission?
Yes, I mean, we saw what you did at the farm,
so we were just trying to help you.
Five, six kills, we were just trying...
[MICHAEL] No, no, no...
You killed two of your own people.
You see, technically, we are not here.
But you are here.
I have documents, that prove...
that we are not here. [LAUGHING]
What we do, is completely different.
First of all, nobody at this table hunts with modern weapons.
We only use vintage firearms.
[INAUDIBLE RADIO CHATTER]
I don't have my gun...
[JULIA] Fuck!
[GUN FIRE]
[SCREAMING]
[FALLS ON FLOOR]
[HEAVY BREATHING]
I shot her!
I shot him.
(JOSHUA I shot her!
[INAUDIBLE RADIO CHATTER]
I shot her.
I... I shot her.
I shot her!

[MAN] Some kind of government official?
Should we be worried?
[JULIA] We'll be out of here tomorrow anyway.
[ACÃCIO] I should've come with them.
So there'd be 3 corpses?
Yesterday, I saw a drone.
Like a flying saucer from some old movie.
But it was a drone.
Where was this drone?
Near Bacurau.
Go back to Bacurau.
I'll go talk with Lunga.
Lunga...
A man is judged by the evil he does,
not the good.
That drone doesn't belong to anyone local.
Watch the skies.
[♪ Geraldo Vandré - Réquiem para Matraga ♪]

I said turn back, dammit.
It had to be an ambush. Fuck, Maciel!
Holy fucking shit.

Who did it?
I don't know, Lunga.
They have killed seven since yesterday. Seven.

No, he was unhurt.
The truck was leaking water.

[TERRY] So right after my divorce, I kinda lost my mind. Y'know?
One day I went home and I packed my Glock and my MAC-10.
And all the ammo I had, in a backpack.
And I drove straight to my ex-wife's house, and I beat on the fucking door.
'Cause I was going to fucking shoot her when she answered. Y'know?
That's fucked up, Terry.
Yeah. But she didn't answer.
She'd left town.
But I still had, this like, feeling,
of wanting to get it off my chest. Y'know?
So...
I drove to the fucking mall,
twice.
And then I drove over to Braybury's park.
But each time I couldn't do it.
Something was telling me not to.
Take it easy man.
And now, God's given me the opportunity
to deal with that pain here.

are on their way to Bacurau.
So they won't be joining us?

Not originally, no.

I thought you'd know that.
