GOOD MORNING, VERÔNICA
JERÔNIMO SOARES HORSE RANCH
[exciting music playing]
Go in with her. And take the other one.
She's Matias' daughter!
I know he's not going to like this.
I'm gonna rest. The journey was tiring.
And Verônica?
Don't worry.
She'll be here.

PATHOLOGY
EXAM ROOM
[exciting music playing]
[Verônica gasps]
[sirens wailing is distance]
Where is this?
In my house.
[Angela gasps]
[Jerônimo] Don't worry.
I've known your father
since I was your age.
So he told you to kidnap me?
To keep me from giving my deposition?
[breathing shakily]
[Jerônimo] It usually
gets colder at night.
Where's Carol?
Enjoy the room.
It's the best in the house.
I wanna know about Carol.
I've never seen you with
my father. You don't work for him.
[tense music playing]
It's your father who works for me.
Where's my daughter?
You should be in jail.
[Verônica] The police
got an anonymous tip.
Did you give me away?
[Gisele] Yes, I did. You took my daughter.
[Verônica] Do you know this man?
[sniffs]
[sniffling]
Yes, I have seen him before.
Jerônimo was
almost like a brother to Matias.
He and his mom have been
living on a farm for a long time.
Matias is afraid him.
Or respects him, I don't know.
[Verônica sighs] Gi.
[inhales] He kidnapped Angela.
And Carol.
What?
Oh
You gave them my daughter.
[Gisele sobbing]
[sniffling] I believed
he was on our side. I didn't know.
[sobbing]
You took my daughter out of the house
and now she's gone.
You put her at risk!
I told you not to bring my daughter
into this mess. For God's sake.
Gi, it was the mob
who put our daughters at risk.
You realize that, right?
[Gisele sobbing]
I'm here to find
some way to save both of them.
You don't understand, do you?
No one messes with Jerônimo.
He's going to kill everybody.
You're not saving anyone.
[Verônica] I've gotta try.
[sobbing] I can't believe it.
- I'm sorry.
- [Gisele] Don't.
Forgive me.
[gentle instrumental music playing]
[Jerônimo huffing rhythmically]
[exhaling forcefully]
[birds chirping]
[machine whirring]
[tense discordant music playing]
[music fades]
[indistinct talking]
- Verô
- It's all my fault.
[Prata] No use in blaming yourself, woman.
Going after this Jerônimo all by yourself?
It's exactly what he wants.
What do you want from me?
Am I supposed to sit around
while my daughter's in danger?
You have to have a plan.
Do you have a plan?
Yes, I do. Look.
Here.
His horse auction.
The previous one was here last month.
There's this one about six months ago.
And?
There's gonna be another auction.
And they'll have it here.
But I saw it. The guy,
he mentioned the auction.
I'll use that information to find
a way to get inside. That's the plan.
Ah. Well then,
we'll take my car. I'll drive.
No way! No, no, no. I'm not putting
anyone else in danger. Thank you.
I'm not asking permission, Verô.
Just like you, I only do what I want.
[footsteps approaching]
[keys jingling]
[footsteps continue faintly]
[horse neighing in distance]
[door slams]
[keys jingling]
[door unlocking]
[Angela] Hi.
[suspenseful music playing]
Hi.
You work here, right?
Is there really no signal?
Or Wi-Fi?
Uh, please, talk to me, would you?
I I'm Angela.
And I I'm trying
to find this girl right here. Look.
You seen her?
Are you sure? Please, she's my girlfriend.
Please.
Can't you help me at all? Hold on.
At least tell me your name.
Girl.
Girl?
Girl!
[door creaking]
[suspenseful music continues]
[Diana] And this one?
Have you chosen the name?
[woman] Julius Caesar.
[Diana] Hm, an emperor's name.
Oh, you're awake.
Come.
Let me introduce you.
[birds chirping in distance]
This girl Angela is practically my niece.
Isn't she beautiful?
Very.
You two couldn't have a more perfect baby.
Keep me posted.
[woman] We will.
[man] Excuse us.
[door opens, closes]
[Diana] You don't remember me,
but I remember you.
I met you when you were a baby.
Now look at you.
Diana.
Jerônimo's mom.
Wanna go for a walk?
Look. It's for the auction.
I told you.
Damn, Verô, there are too many people.
I know. But this is my chance.
I'm staying out here to help you then.
No. No way. Come on!
They'll be suspicious if
they see you here. They'll catch you. No.
I'll find a way to communicate with
you from the inside and it'll be fine.
I'm good. I'll be all right.
You'd better, 'cause if you die,
I'll make you pay for that.
Go.
[exhales]
[Diana]We take care of a lot
of poor people in the area.
For example, this girl got pregnant.
However, she couldn't raise the child,
so we found a family with
good principles
who we could trust to care for the baby.
There are a lot of couples
that can't have children. You know that?
You're not paying attention!
I get it. But look,
we're treating you quite well.
You're safe here.
There was another girl that came with me.
Carol. Where is she?
[Diana] Hmm.
The farm is too large.
But she's being well taken care of,
I promise you that. Don't worry.
Ever ridden a horse?
When I was a child.
[Diana laughs]
You're still a child.
Parents are much more
important than you may think.
If you mate a stallion of pureblood
with the perfect mare,
you will have the best foal in the world.
And to make sure
we don't ruin the champion mare,
we never get her pregnant.
We collect the material,
and some other mare is inseminated.
The mother is
similar to a surrogate.
And the champion mare is still perfect.
Those are Lumière's eggs.
She's our champion mare.
She died last year.
She's no longer here,
but she's still
the most important animal on the farm.
Come.
He needs to focus on his work.
- [cell door opening]
- [guard] You have a visitor!
Angela?
Your other daughter.
I don't find that funny, Gisele.
You don't know what's happening then.
Jerônimo got to Angela and kidnapped her.
[intense music playing]
[sobbing] There's no way
out of this hellhole!
Just say something!
You're a piece of shit.
You put on airs but you never fooled me.
Jerônimo kidnaps your daughter,
and you accept it without
putting up a fight like some coward.
You need to watch your mouth.
I'll say what I want to say.
She's our daughter, you asshole!
Now do something about it.
Prove you're not a complete coward.
[screaming]
[tense music playing]
[music fades]
It fits you well.
It's dinner time now.
No, thanks. I'm fine.
I think I'll just stay put.
[Diana] Come on.
I'll help you with your hair.
Sit here.
[sniffles]
So, my mom must be worried.
[Diana] Mmm
So that's the issue.
You're missing your mom.
I know how it is.
Jerônimo is also very close to me,
and I to him.
And this bond becomes a lot stronger
after experiencing a traumatic event.
I've seen your videos.
All of them.
It's
It's terrible what you've been through.
The same thing happened to me.
I was the favorite
of the man who raised me.
A man above all suspicion.
And back then, there was no internet.
We had to suffer in silence.
And those who knew,
pretended they didn't see.
Diana?
Please, I really need your help.
[sobs] I'm concerned about Carol.
I need to see her.
All right.
I'll talk to Jerônimo
at dinner.
Let's go?
[owl hooting]
[tense music playing]
[Verônica panting]
[classical music playing on speakers]
Jerônimo
I forgot.
Are you done?
I don't eat much at night.
Girl, you can go home
after cleaning the kitchen.
[Jerônimo] Is everything all right?
Yes.
Uh Uh I'm going to bed now.
[tense music playing]
[insects chirping]
[tense music continues]
[doorknob rattling]
[gasps]
[beeping]
Don't do anything to her. I'm on my way.
[Verônica panting softly]
[beeping]
[tense music playing]
NORILAB LABORATORY TESTS
[camera shutter clicking]
[clicking]
[clicking]
[Angela] Carol?
Carol? Carol?
- [Carol] Angela! Angela, over here!
- Carol! Carol! Oh, my God!
What did they do to you?
Please! Angela,
you've got to get me out of here!
- Calm down, hold on.
- Please! Please!
If you're not locked in, why not run?
- Run now!
- [screaming]
[Angela] Hold on! I'm here.
[grunting]
No!
- [Angela yelps]
- No!
No! No, let her go!
- Let her go! Angela!
- [Angela] Let me go. Please! Let me go.
[Angela grunts]
[Carol] Angela!
Stop! Let her go! No!
[tense music playing]
AUCTION '73, '64, '68
AUCTION '76
[Verônica gasps]
- Prata!
- [Prata] Where are you?
I know why they never arrested Jerônimo.
He has everyone in his pocket.
He records important people
doing terrible things on his farm.
What? What do you mean?
He's not auctioning horses, Prata.
It's women he's selling.
[coughing]
[choking]
[grunting]
Warden! Warden! Call an ambulance. Warden!
- Warden!
- [grunting]
[tense music playing]
[Matias groaning]
[sirens wailing]
[Matias breathing weakly]
[man on radio] Do you copy?
Broken car in middle of the road.
Attention. Car in
middle of the road. Over.
[gun shots]
[man] Central, backup! I need backup!
[gun shots continue]
Give me the keys.
- [gun shots]
- Gun.
[gun shot]
[music stops]
[Angela sobbing]
[door unlocks, opens]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Angela whimpering]
What're you gonna do to me?
That dress doesn't look good on you.
Take it off.
[sobbing]
[Jerônimo] Don't worry.
Your father and I are very different men.
[Angela sobbing]
I will not touch you.
Do you know why Matias
quickly became the orphanage sweetheart?
Whenever the Monsignor
did something nasty,
like what your father did to you,
he'd ask Matias to comfort the children.
He'd trick the child.
They'd quiet down.
[Angela sobbing]
And then the Monsignor
would go back and do it again.
[sobbing]
Why are you doing all of this?
[Jerônimo] I don't want
to get you confused.
You betrayed my trust, Angela.
But I understand.
[chuckles]
You've learned to live in fear.
I'll take care of you.
You'll feel much better
once you understand your role.
I need you.
The Girl is in labor and I need your help.
[Jerônimo sighs]
It wasn't supposed to be now.
- Diana.
- [Diana] It will be all right.
Diana. Please help, Diana.
Diana.
Diana!
- Diana!
- We know how to do this.
[Angela] Diana!
[Diana] It's not the first
nor the last time this will happen.
And it's the two of us.
Remember?
The two of us.
[tense music playing]
[Diana] Our Lady of the Head,
we ask you to spread
countless benefits over all of us.
Give me the grace to be like salt,
fermenting and light,
amongst mankind,
so I can touch
the lives of everyone around me.
I consecrate my head,
my eyes,
my ears, and my mouth.
I consecrate my understanding,
so that I may always
choose good over evil.
I humbly ask you
for the life of this baby.
[music continues]
[Girl moaning]
[Girl sobbing]
[Girl exhaling]
[Diana] We ask you to spread
countless benefits over all of us.
Shh.
Give me the grace to be like salt
[Girl whimpering]
[tense music playing]
[Girl moaning]
No!
[panting]
[yelling]
[Girl huffing, moaning]
[yelling]
[screaming]
[panting]
[baby crying]
GIRL
[Girl continues panting]
Look at him, Jerônimo.
- A perfect child.
- [baby crying]
[girl breathing heavily]
[baby crying]
Let me carry him. Let me carry my son.
[Diana] He's not yours.
[baby continues crying]
[Girl whimpering]
[Jerônimo] Shh
Get some rest.
[soft popping]
[gasps]
[baby continues crying]
[tense music playing]
[breathing shakily]
[gasps]
[compressed air whooshing]
[Jerônimo grunts]
[door unlocking, opening]
The Girl was released.
That was the deal.
Here.
You'll take care of him from now on.
Lulling a baby is
the best thing in the world.
Whenever I see one,
I remember the day Jerônimo was born.
He was so tiny.
But this won't be for long,
just until we find a family
with good values to take care of him.
Mm.
Everything important is in here.
Uh, diapers, washcloths,
ointment, et cetera.
Enough of taking care of horses,
digging earth
You've been promoted, sweetheart.
Working in the house
is much easier.
You're a good girl.
No more padlocks.
I think you understand, right?
No point in ruining
everything now, is there? Hmm?
I'll see you in the kitchen.
[exhales]
[gasps]
[intense music playing]
- [gasping]
- [shushing]
What is this? What is this?
- Shh!
- [yelps]
I want to take care of you. [grunts]
[Jerônimo] Shh.
- [Verônica panting]
- Shh
I'm very proud of
our work here in the farm.
Anywhere in the world
that my animals are sold,
whoever buys them knows they're perfect.
Where's my daughter?
- From the collection
- [grunting] Where's Lila?
- through insemination.
- [muffled screaming]
[Jerônimo shushing]
[panting]
Why are you doing this?
Why are you doing this?
You suffered terribly under Monsignor
and now you're enacting
the same treatment on me!
- I am nothing like my father!
- [Verônica yells]
[panting]
Father?
So you're not like Matias and Brandão,
are you?
You were born in that orphanage.
Why didn't he sell you like the others?
My mother didn't let him.
[sobbing] Jerônimo
my daughter is just a child.
Let her go, please!
Let her go and keep me.
I swear, I'll do whatever you want.
I know.
[Verônica grunts]
[dishes clattering]
[Jerônimo sighs]
Hello?
[man on phone] Jerônimo,
I'm concerned about Matias' escape.
- Is the event still on?
- [Jerônimo] It's still on.
We have nothing to do with Matias.
- Everything is under control.
- Okay.
Full privacy, right?
Absolutely. No cell phones, nothing.
I assure you.
Look, Jerônimo, I can't be exposed.
Let's wait for things to calm down.
- We'll do it some other time.
- Uh
- Bye.
- [sighs]
Who was it?
Teixeira.
He's decided not to come.
This jailbreak
[Diana] The news is everywhere.
Maybe the auction
should be postponed until after?
[horses neighing in distance]
And Verônica?
You're obsessed with Verônica.
- [grunts]
- [Diana] Me or you?
She killed Brandão.
She put Matias in jail.
And you know she's already
been speaking to the girls.
Because of her,
there are fewer people in the stalls.
You need to explain
why you haven't finished her off.
I don't have to explain anything to you.
She won't give up until
she gets her daughter back.
You're oblivious.
You don't get it.
A mother's desperation.
Enough, Diana.
Have you ever thought
about how alike the two of you are?
[cell phone buzzing]
Hm?
[man 2] Mr. Jerônimo,
there's a Matias here at the gate.
What?
He's requesting entry.
Here in the farm?
Yes, sir.
[Western-style guitar music playing]
Diana!
Beautiful as always.
Doum.
[Diana] Let's go inside.
It's too hot out here.
[Matias] Oh, nice.
I can't picture you in that place, Matias.
I kept thinking about the orphanage
while I was locked in there.
And what kept me going
was all the love I received.
I received so many letters from all over,
from all the people I healed.
Really?
But it's still prison.
And, it was horrible.
I felt abandoned by everyone.
And I kept wondering
when my brother would get me out of there.
[Diana] We would never leave you in there.
You're family.
I know.
I know, I know you'd do anything for me.
Like grabbing Angela, for example.
Well, that's true, actually
We couldn't afford the risk
of you failing once again.
So I improvised.
Ah.
I see.
For the best.
For all of us.
Everyone knows you're a star, Matias.
However, thanks to you,
guests are afraid
of attending the auction.
That won't be a problem.
It's a large house, there's enough space.
Nobody will see you.
Well, I just wanted to stop by
and thank you for taking care of Angela.
Where is she, by the way?
Oh, out there somewhere.
You know how your daughter is. Right?
No.
I don't, actually.
Tell me.
Come.
Let me show you to your room.
- He said he's not staying.
- No, he'll stay the night.
Hm.
He'll be gone tomorrow.
[Matias] Your house
is so beautiful, Diana.
It changed a lot since last time.
What do you know
of this clerk, Verônica Torres?
Her father was Júlio Torres.
Remember? Carvana's friend?
Why do you want to know about Verônica?
I'm just curious.
I thought you were
going to show me my room?
I will bring you there.
First, I'd like to ask you a favor.
This is difficult for me.
You know I never had much faith.
I never believed in
God, or
anyone or anything.
I don't get it.
This is my last-ditch attempt.
I need a miracle.
The only reason I'm alive is my son.
'Cause without Jerônimo,
this life is just worthless to me.
Look at me, Matias.
Look.
This is what time has done to me already.
You look so beautiful.
I'm aware. It's not that.
I need to be a mother.
But But you already are.
I've tried medication,
I've tried hormones,
I've I've injected myself,
and I'm completely at a loss.
I want fertility,
I want to be fertile again.
That's what makes a woman a woman.
[mysterious music playing]
[Matias exhaling]
[inhaling sharply]
[gasping]
[breathing heavily]
[intense music playing]
[music fades]
- [chains rattling]
- [Verônica grunting]
[Verônica grunts]
[grunts]
[grunts, gasps]
Ah!
Hi.
I'm I'm looking for my daughter.
She's she's here somewhere.
- She's white, and she
- Shh!
She has curly hair. Her name is Lila.
Quiet down.
[Verônica] She must be really scared.
Come back here!
[Matias] Why do you
want to know about Verônica?
Her father was Júlio Torres.
Remember? Carvana's friend?
[Jerônimo] Have you ever thought
about how alike the two of you are?
[gasps]
[tense music playing]
[Matias] Jerônimo!
Jerônimo!
What the hell do you think you're doing?
Let my daughter go, you fuck!
Get Angela out of there, now!
Why are you getting so worked up?
Didn't my mother treat you well?
I know what you're doing!
Think I never noticed some girls
disappearing after I sent them here?
They didn't leave and they weren't
put up for auction. They're just gone.
What is that place?
A stable of women?
I've seen those stalls
with those pregnant girls locked inside.
They're having your children, Jerônimo!
I'm not you.
You're a piece of shit.
You're pathetic.
Weren't for me and Brandão,
you'd still just be Monsignor's shadow.
So pathetic. You couldn't kill him.
You two killed Monsignor
because it's in your nature.
One is a killer, the other, a molester.
So what? So what are you?
You are nothing! You are nothing.
It was always Diana. Always her.
Even then, now, and tomorrow.
It's been staring you
in the face this entire time.
The truth is that Diana is Doum.
[grunts]
The only thing I remember you did well
is what we did together deep in the night.
Remember?
Ah!
After everybody went to bed.
[groans]
[both grunting]
Remember?
Do you long for it?
Have you been crying? Here?
[intense music playing]
[muffled screaming]
[squelching]
- [Matias groaning in pain]
- [spits]
[muffled yelling]
You talk too much.
[muffled screaming]
[continues screaming]
[door lock clicks]
[Diana] Quiet!
[gasps] What the fuck?
[whirring]
[intense music playing]
[grunting]
[muffled screams]
[gasps]
[horse snorting]
[neighs]
[whip cracks]
[Matias grunting]
