City of God: The Fight Rages On

This series is a work of fiction.

It doesn't represent any real events or people

Curio was never a saint. That's not up for debate.

He dealt drugs

and beat the shit out of anyone who messed with him.

It doesn't make sense to pay tribute to a drug dealer

but truth is, he was the lesser of evils.

And in all of those years he was in charge

the City of God might not have been perfect

but it had some peace.

Go home. You can't be in the streets.

Only family is allowed, man. Get the fuck out!

You're lucky he's in the slum.

We were friends, man.

Are you fucking deaf? Get out!

Don't make things difficult.

Now that the old drug dealer is gone

there's only fear, and a sea of uncertainties left.

Man, seriously? Nobody came to his funeral.

Yeah, Barbantinho.

All my husband did was help this community.

He didn't deserve this.

Auntie Marta.

I wish things had been different.

I'm not your aunt. Look at what you did.

Take a look, Waldemar.

I can't even properly say goodbye to my husband.

Nothing is going to happen to you.

Not to you, not to Day or Amanda.

What about my son?

What about Geninho?

You already murdered his father. What else do you want?

My son's blood?

I'm heartbroken.

But there is one thing that brings me some comfort.

Those who hurt with iron, with iron will be hurt.

Because at least Curio had a wife, he had children.

He had a family.

But you, boy?

There's not a single soul to cry for you.

Inspired by Fernando Meirelles' film

City of God: The Fight Rages On

Go home.

I'll stay with him.

I'm not leaving. I'm staying right here.

- Bradock is in the slum. - Don't worry, Mom.

Nobody knows he's here.

But I want to be here when he finds out.

Power passes from one drug dealer to another

and the government can't do a thing!

I apologize for my tone

but I worry about the well-being of Rio's people!

I won't be silenced for being the son of the Secretary of Security!

I will not accept it!

I want to change things because I know his hands are tied!

We can't let those criminals free!

If it's war they want, they've got it!

We need to do something!

- Yeah. - Calm down!

- That's right. - Calm down.

Please, gentlemen! Calm down!

What about the citizens? What's going to happen to them?

The children, the schools, the kindergartens.

People want peace! Not war!

- What's wrong? - Calm down.

It's over for your gang!

You're a thug's doormat!

Is that why you want to stop the intervention?

Tell your boss to explain himself! He defends criminals!

Excuse me?

- Which side are you on? - Calm down.

I apologize, Mr. President.

Show some respect, councilman.

It's not right to insult a colleague on the stand!

What's not right is defending criminals!

- You do! - You defend criminals!

What do you defend? Lies?

Lies are enemies of the truth!

You and your father!

- You're both criminals! - Please, calm down!

How are you?

We used to come here with Dad.

You refused to touch the sand, because it was itchy.

He always got so mad when I pretended to drown.

You were always trouble.

And you were always scared. Always did what he told you.

I can't forget the sight of his body lying on the ground.

He was shot in the back.

I didn't get to go to his funeral.

I'm getting even, Amanda.

- Forget it. - I'm going after Bradock.

Please, forget about that.

I just buried our father.

I don't want to have to bury you too.

Please.

That's enough! Stop it...

Jerusa.

You need to understand. You did what you had to do.

He would have killed you.

You need to be strong, so we can take care of what's yours.

Stand up.

Be fucking strong.

There's some people that want to talk to you.

- What people? - ZeroOnze and some guys.

You can't play in here. Give me that ball.

Pay attention.

Curio, forever missed

Cover that shit up.

Paint over it, man.

What's up, Bradock?

They're unarmed. Show him.

Well, these guys worked for Curio.

They want to talk to you peacefully.

I wouldn't have gotten involved if I didn't trust them.

We're willing to work with you.

All of us were born and raised here. We don't want to leave.

All we want is a chance.

What about you?

I'm going to be honest.

I'm done with this life. All I want is peace. You know?

I want to help my mom, practice Jiu-Jitsu.

I just want some peace.

But first I need your approval.

Are you going to behave?

I'm a man of my word.

I'm keeping an eye on you.

If I see you hanging out with thugs, I'll go after you myself.

You know I will.

- Give me your word? - I do.

I'll talk to you later.

Let's go.

What are you going to do?

- Didn't you trust ZeroOnze? - He ratted on Curio.

How can I be sure he won't stab us in the back?

Barbantinho is here, Boss.

What's up?

Let's go.

- Hey, man. - Hi.

Where's Berenice? I asked her to come.

She had to help her neighbor, who's having a baby.

Tell her next time I expect her to come.

I don't give a fuck who's giving birth or whatever.

I asked her to come because we need to talk.

But that's not the point. Sit down, Barbantinho.

Sit down, Cinthia.

No, thanks.

Barbantinho, I need to strengthen my name in the slum.

Can I count on you?

If it's going to help the community, I'm in.

I want things to go back to the way they used to be.

No bad shit. You know?

You can count on me.

If you need money, or something for the children.

I just need this place to be like it was.

You know, people had respect for Curio.

It might take a while for them to get used to you.

You know?

I'm opening my heart.

I want this place to be peaceful.

You know I didn't mean to start a fucking war.

I just fought for what's mine.

We can't control people

but we'll do anything to keep the peace.

That's what I need.

- Oss. - Oss.

I grew up without a father.

You got to have a father.

You'll always have the love he had for you.

All right?

Thank you.

What about the championship?

It's too soon.

Seriously? But I'm 18.

My career is going to be over before it even starts.

I need that.

I want it more than anything.

Listen, Amanda.

Get one thing in your head.

You're a black slum dog, whose father was a criminal.

Every time you step on the tatami, people are going to stare.

They'll try to bring you down, to immobilize you.

Not just on the tatami, but in life.

You can't afford to make mistakes. Do you hear me?

That's what they want.

- You'll compete when you're ready. - I am ready.

I really am.

Trust me.

If you don't trust me, I'll find another instructor.

- Let's practice. - Yeah.

I must admit I thought she wouldn't last a day in Rio.

But I was wrong.

Ligia had intuition, and that's rare.

Wilson, take a look at this.
