I don't know what they told you about it.
But this is what I know.
It was a normal day in the prison.
…a little cold water.
But we can help you.
This is Agent Santos from the Federal Police.
Except for the fact that most of the prison guards
were at Santos' presentation.
We'll talk about management…
I never figured out how they knew that.
For You are my rock, my fortress.
For the sake of Your name, lead me and guide me.
Let's go, Soulless.
But what I do know
is that they knew exactly when to attack.
FOZ DO IGUAÇU STATE PENITENTIARY
Let's move. Go!
Armored cars…
Go!
…bulletproof vests and guns.
Pay attention!
15 of the Organization's planners.
Damn.
But what really turned the tables
was the fucking element of surprise.
CORRECTIONAL OFFICER
Attention! The prison is being attacked!
Backup!
-Everyone to the exam room. -They're invading the prison! Backup!
Open up!
-Hang on! -Open this!
Everyone's getting out, all right?
But I'm here to get my brothers.
Where are Martelo and Caroço?
Where the fuck are Martelo and Caroço?
-Go get them! -Upstairs!
One of them is in B-4!
-Where is he? -Don't shoot!
Where is he? Hands on your fucking head.
Come with me.
It wasn't Santos' problem,
but he went first.
He always had to be the hero.
Hands up!
Eight hundred prisoners.
They only rescued 56.
All with a history of bank robbery. All from the Organization.
It was all going according to plan
until Santos arrived.
The fucking cops!
Stop! I have a hostage and I will kill him.
Don't shoot!
I'll kill him.
-I'll kill him! -Don't shoot!
A hostage,
thugs on the run,
and no way to stop them.
Santos saved the hostage,
but he overlooked a principle he taught others.
He left the shelter
without being sure that the threat had been neutralized.
A guy like Santos never would've made that mistake
if he had been at 100% instead of hungover.
I've only thought of one thing since then.
Getting that motherfucker.
$44 million stolen, cars torched, shootouts…
CRIMINAL CODE
EPISODE 2 TRACES OF THE NIGHT
I missed you.
Wait.
No.
I love you.
So, how do I look?
You always look good.
Even at 7:00 a.m.
Everyone will be fighting over the Proguard case today.
I'd like to go on a run before work.
Fê, can we please hire a nanny soon?
We don't need to hire a nanny. We just need to be better organized.
-I should've asked my mom to come earlier. -It's not about needing one. I want one.
I've been talking about this since well before she was born.
She's too young for that.
Honey,
Mommy thought nannies were supposed to take care of babies.
Of babies!
I'm serious.
I'm serious too, Fê.
Good morning.
It's hot.
Do you want me to put an ice cube in it?
Are you bringing homework to the station? Shouldn't it be the opposite?
That's my office. I come here to get nagged.
Good morning.
Gentlemen,
this team's work yesterday changed this precinct.
From the border to the capital,
everyone is watching.
But as they say, "Today's papers are old news."
Doesn't he seem like an eager-to-impress young car salesman?
Bank robbers in Brazil have always been the kings of crime,
but now things are escalating.
They used to carry out quick attacks in one place.
No time for a police response. They took what they could.
Now their strategy has changed.
My God, they're taking hostages.
Dozens of men with military tactics and weapons
overpowering police forces.
It's city domination.
They empty vaults calmly.
Often, they attack more than one location.
The first of these cases appeared earlier this year, but they're growing.
They work like a joint venture.
-What's that guy doing here? -Who?
This is the Proguard meeting?
Agent Moreira.
Wladimir asked me to tag along.
Please.
Well, as I was saying, they work like a joint venture.
Sorry, sir, a joint what? I don't get it.
-It's like this. -Oh boy.
There's the pencil case gang.
The wallet gang.
Thanks, Suellen.
There's the… pile of junk gang.
-And there's the keychain gang. -Damn.
What a prison guard.
I've got a lot of padlocks. Anyway, these are the gangs.
Each one does their robberies.
They attack an armored car here, a bank there.
-In the wallet gang-- -Don't.
There are the guys who handle the cars.
There are guys who handle the weapons.
There's a guy who only handles explosives.
There's…
Acupuncture?
He likes to get nailed.
Finish your little show.
I never pictured you being zen. Anyway…
There's the guy who bankrolls it,
and there's the brains of the operation.
The pile of junk gang
also has a brains guy who knows the plan,
but the rest of this gang doesn't know the plan at all.
And these guys over here are just the muscle.
Get it? They're hired hands.
What happens?
They ruin our lives
because we have to investigate multiple groups.
-Get it? -Got it.
Joint venture.
-I get it-- -But with DNA we can--
Stop it. Wait one second.
What's the Organization's role?
The Organization?
It coordinates the whole thing.
Moreira is very familiar with the Organization.
Now, this lowlife here, who died in the free-for-all,
Mamute,
is one of the Organization's leaders in São Paulo.
That's what's weird.
If it was a regular robbery, why send Mamute?
Even more so, the brains, like Mamute and Soulless.
I've never seen that.
What do you know about Soulless?
I saw him once in the hood.
They say he's tough, that he reports to the Organization's leaders.
We're careful breaking in And come out with loads of cash
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Stand against us and get taken down Yeah, yeah, yeah
What about this?
In the darkness of the alleys Of mourning or of betrayal
Adrenaline is what makes My heart beat faster
But I defend the flag Of what I deserve
Because true crooks have faith in Jesus
Hell yeah!
What the hell? I thought you were a mirage, man.
Yo, didn't you get arrested?
-They had to release me. -Have some chicken heart, my guy.
Where's the money?
-What do you mean? -We haven't split it up.
The bags are inside.
What about the bag I took?
Straight up, bro,
the place was crawling with cops.
I had to wait before I could get to the bathroom.
I straight up tore that place apart and I didn't find anything.
No one else was there.
For real, man.
Some fucking janitor got rich off our cash, man.
No lie, boss.
It was crawling with cops, man.
You never said anything. You played it cool.
He's going to kill you, you know?
It's been three months
since they rescued 25 Organization members from that prison.
We caught four of them yesterday.
That rescue happened so they could pull this heist.
Soulless was at both. It's all fucking connected!
How do you know?
-By doing what you don't, investigating. -And letting him walk free.
Who did you catch yesterday?
Three weed dealers and a homeless guy.
-Not bad for a store security guard. -That's right.
-You did a catch and release. -Congrats.
Listen to me, dude.
Your hunches only get in the way.
You don't know what you're doing.
Did you come here together?
Bro, it was just me, Picadinho, Caroço, and Ferrugem, you know?
What about Carimbo?
He said he had something to do before he came.
He just got here.
Where's the money?
What's the problem? My word isn't good enough?
Where's the money, man?
-For God's sake, I'm telling you. -Leave God out of it.
Holy fucking shit, Soulless! Fuck!
Where's our money, you fucking worm?
I owed some guys. They were going to kill my family!
-Take pity. -I was going to pay you back. Fuck.
-Fucking hell, bro. -Where is it?
It's at the cemetery, bro. On the outskirts.
Tombstone 3, man.
You've gotta--
Tell them to get the bag.
You got it, bro.
-Let's bury this loser. -Fucking A.
Alvinegro.
Man, that bag from the bus didn't get us anywhere.
We have to keep him here until we get to the scene.
Of course.
What about that… Moreira guy?
I can't figure him out.
Nobody really can, Suellen.
They say he's the only person who's really infiltrated the Organization.
He's a good cop, then.
Or a good criminal.
Why is he the only one?
Or do you think the badass thing is an act?
Yeah, it could be.
I don't trust him.
They say he got suspended for deep shit they could smell in Brasília.
That could be gossip. Why would Wladimir place him here?
I don't know.
To me, where there's smoke, there's fire.
It was a hard decision, but you'll take the lead on this case.
I don't want to hear about any insubordination.
I don't want parallel investigations. I want results. Within the law.
Understood, sir.
If we get this wrong, we lose the case, and there's plenty of competition.
If we get it right,
this is our ticket to anywhere.
Rio, São Paulo, Brasília.
I'm fine here.
But I'll help you however I can.
You should go before they contaminate the scene's DNA.
I've never seen DNA solve a robbery.
I've never seen you get along with a partner so fast.
FEDERAL REVENUE - BRAZIL FRIENDSHIP BRIDGE CUSTOMS
Hey, Shrek, if we want to keep the case, we have to obey Rossi a little.
You know that, right?
At least Rossi made it seem like we're a good team.
Yeah?
Just him?
Are you sure?
Sorry, dream partner, but I have no patience for traffic.
I don't believe it. Hey, psycho!
-Pick me up some diapers on your walk. -Who said I'm walking?
Let's go. Move.
PARAGUAY CIUDAD DEL ESTE
Hey.
PROGUARD PROTECTION AND TRANSPORT OF VALUABLES
So, did you solve the case by getting here half an hour earlier?
No, but a neighbor saw a drone a few times in the last few weeks.
They must've spent some time in the area to get the lay of the land.
Matías, our Brazilian officers.
-Suellen. -Hi.
-Yuri, Guilherme. -Welcome.
Are all the employees here?
After last night's murders, I don't think they all came in.
The self-employed are the first to speak out under pressure.
To stop them from talking, they're sent messages.
Here.
They only left guaraní. It's not worth much.
Yeah.
It has poor liquidity.
It's not worth the weight.
They took all the dollar bills.
Eleven million.
Eleven?
-That's the official number. -The press said 40.
The other 30 must have been illegal, undeclared.
We'll probably never know.
Do you know how much that watch costs?
He didn't know he was going to die.
Says the fortune teller, huh?
You can tell by the blood spatter he wasn't restrained.
He wasn't crouching when he was shot.
There are no marks from ropes or handcuffs on his wrists.
He probably knew the murderer.
-They took him by surprise. -And the watch?
You don't think the watch was a bribe?
I don't know. I only know what the science says.
Wait. Stop there.
That armored car by the wall.
The explosion sends energy in every direction.
The car acts as a shield.
It sends the shockwave back toward the wall.
Without the car, the wall wouldn't come down in one go.
Is there video two days prior, same time, same place?
The day before.
Back to the day of the crime.
Who was driving this armored car that day?
Thanks, my friend. We have to get back to Brazil.
Thank you.
Are you gonna start trouble, Benício?
He could be the last person not in the gang who's willing to talk.
If he's alive.
It's illegal for us to do anything in Paraguay.
We're not doing anything, just chatting.
Let's go.
What is this?
It's chipa, man.
You should have had my grandma's.
It's good. Your grandma made you this?
Oh yeah.
She made them much better.
It was our afternoon snack on vacations at her house in Asunción.
You have to cross the border to get the real stuff.
I usually come here at night.
I usually go to that bar, you know? By the bridge.
-The one with the jukebox. -Tacky!
Santos said the same thing the first time.
He fell in love with that jukebox.
I was on leave when he died. I didn't hear much about it.
It's 2:00 p.m.
The windows are closed.
Benício, Santos' death is linked to this case.
I need to know what happened.
I don't know what they told you about it,
but this is what I know.
It was a normal day in the prison.
I've watched that video a thousand times.
A guy like Santos never would've made that mistake…
if he had been at 100%…
instead of hungover.
Should we have another shot?
-We have work tomorrow. -You're such a square, man.
They took me off the case.
But a guy on the inside sent me the security footage.
I've only thought about one thing since.
Getting that motherfucker.
Delete that video. Don't torture yourself.
Go!
-Should we wait for the Paraguayan police? -Fuck you.
Someone's following us. Go faster!
Get them!
Son of a bitch!
Go! Step on it!
-Stay with them. They'll kill him. -Hang on.
Cut him off!
Go! Out of the car!
Leave them for the Paraguayans. Let's go!
-Move it! -Quiet!
Let's go, Suellen.
POLICE
Stay where you are!
This is the forensics area, but only coroners have access.
Upstairs is the storehouse and the gym.
That's pretty much it.
-The secretary will arrange your hotel. -Sure.
Is this your first time in Foz?
I've traveled a lot in my time,
but I don't know the Triple Frontier well yet.
Yeah.
I have a contact from São Paulo who's been here a while.
If you give me two weeks in the field,
I'll get my bearings and update you.
Moreira,
my understanding is that you're suspended.
Wladimir sent you here to help as a consultant.
It's clear you can't go in the field.
If I'm being quite honest, sir,
I want to work,
and that's the work I do best.
My place is in the field.
If you aren't able to fulfill the role Wladimir asked of you,
let me know.
I'll be watching.
If you step out of line, I'll be the first to say.
I don't know exactly why Wladimir sent you here,
but even he won't be able to help you
if they find out you're still pretending to be a cop.
You're bleeding. Clean your wound.
Listen, here's the thing.
I can give you to the police to be killed in your cell,
or you cooperate and maybe we forget you exist. Okay?
They'll kill me if I talk.
I'll put you in witness protection, cabrón.
I didn't know anyone was going to die.
Diego got me into this shit.
I just had to park the vehicle there, that's all.
Diego? The murdered watchman?
Did Diego pay you?
No, someone else did.
Don't you know who he is?
No, I don't know him. I swear I don't know him.
All I know is that we met in a mansion.
Do you know where?
Yes,
I know the way there.
What does he look like?
He's tall, skinny, white. Always wears a hat.
You have to remember more. Go on.
Diego called him "Negro." They were friends.
You just said he was white.
Yes, but Diego called him "Negro"...
Alfie... Something like that.
Alvi?
Alvinegro?
Was that it?
Does he have a tattoo? Is that it?
Sí.
Let's go to Brazil.
Are you crazy, Benício?
Rossi will be pissed if we take him there.
Rossi won't be there.
Rossi will be thrilled to take a photo at the mansion.
-No way. -Suellen.
We have to do what we have to do
to get who we have to get.
That's how it fucking works.
If I pulled a tenth of the shit you pull, I'd be out.
That's how it works.
I'll be at the mansion. Do what you want.
Let's go.
CALLING
Shit.
-What is it? -That friend on the border.
What do you know?
I know he owns a bar.
PARAGUAY CIUDAD DEL ESTE
Federal Police.
You disappeared.
Where's Benício?
Focus your investigation on the thugs, okay?
Now, how does information get leaked so fast, man?
You don't get it, huh?
I don't get it.
Is that Rossi?
I get it.
-Okay, you can go in. -Can we? Thanks.
7.62 mm.
There's no doubt.
This was their house.
At Proguard they used gloves, balaclavas.
They hardly left anything, but here…
It was DNA you wanted, right, boss?
I got you some.
How did you figure this out?
Asking on the streets. We got lucky.
Sorry, guys, Ayhu is with my mother-in-law.
I have to pick her up.
-Keep me updated in the group. -Okay.
-Matías, thanks very much. -Bye.
Rossi, what about me?
There's nothing for me to do.
What do you mean? You're protection.
You see that ammo? It costs a fortune.
Someone might come back for it.
I'm going to talk to the press.
-Good luck with the work. -I'll come with you.
Rossi, Paraguayan police are also guarding us, right?
Seriously, bro? You're with me. Chill out.
FEDERAL POLICE
Here.
Juarez was quiet, but he's decided to talk.
-I don't know a Juarez, sir. -No?
Do you know Diego?
Juarez says you killed him.
I didn't kill anyone, sir.
I don't give a fuck if you did or not.
It's your word against his.
I feel like I want to believe him.
Paraguay is itching to put a head on a spike.
I didn't kill anyone. Are you gonna put this on me?
The courts will decide that.
You'll be rotting in jail until then, you son of a bitch.
"Therefore,
put on the full armor of God…
so that you may stand your ground when the day of evil comes…
having done everything."
Ephesians, 6:13.
Money covered in coke, burnt paper.
What else?
They burn what they think is evidence,
but they have no idea that everything inside is gold.
Gold?
Don't fuck with me.
What's up?
I've never seen anything like this.
If all this evidence has the amount of DNA I think it does,
this case could win the DNA Hit of the Year.
How long will it take?
I had to give Rossi an excuse, but he'll be back soon.
You don't answer your phone.
Didn't you want nothing to do with this?
Was I wrong?
By the look on your face, you didn't get much.
-Come on, Benício, let's let Juarez go. -No, wait!
Just once more.
So?
Are you ready to get upgraded to murderer?
I'm not saying names, sir. You know how it works.
Okay.
What about the Organization?
They did the prison break and the robbery.
Why?
Tell me.
I know about three jobs.
The rescue and the robbery, which already happened.
You were at the rescue?
Who killed that police officer?
Who killed that fucking police officer?
What's the next job, then?
I only know a few days before.
But you should get ready.
There will be three times more people on it.
Bring it on, motherfucker.
Let's go.
Move it.
Let's go.
Guilherme!
Guilherme.
Where's our protection?
The Paraguayan police just left.
No, dude.
The garage is full of 7.62 ammo. The ones that cost a ton.
It's full of boxes.
I think they're planning to come back.
It wasn't them.
Let's finish this and go.
Here.
What about the witness protection program?
That's it.
The bus station is that way. Brazil can fit about 20 Paraguayans.
No one will find you.
But I helped you.
Yes, and you're alive and free.
Be thankful and leave.
That was kind of fucked up.
He should be in jail. He's fine.
CHE LA REINA NEIGHBORHOOD
Buena noche.
One more.
Gracias.
Were you hiding from me, Raul?
Hey, big guy.
Damn, you really do look like Raul Seixas, don't you?
I've known you forever and it still trips me out.
You live in São Paulo. What are you doing way over here?
Why so many questions?
-Are we in school? -No, man.
You forgot what I told you when you fled here.
-I can't have my phone on all day. -Shut up. Are you ungrateful?
I'm grateful as hell, man.
You got me out of some bad situations. I'm clean now, man.
I'm working now, man. Look.
I'm even saving money.
You're clean? So if I go behind the bar, I won't find a ton of coke?
An arrest warrant in Brazil, caught red-handed in Paraguay.
It doesn't look good for you, cocaine cowboy.
-Things are better now. -Shut up!
You know I have a lot of friends over here, right?
I know.
I really do know. But it's better now.
Better how?
It's war, man.
The Ambassador, you know. The Organization.
If I knew, why would I be here smelling your breath?
-What do you want to know? -I want to know everything.
Do you know who Riyad is, from Pedro Juan?
-Do you know him? -Yeah.
Well, this all started at the border there, in Ponta Porã.
It's worse than here. Everyone says that shit's a funnel.
And it's one hell of a fucking funnel.
And that son of a bitch old man sits down and starts saying what comes in and out.
That was it, man.
Riyad, king of the border.
The one and only.
So you get it, right? But Riyad and the Organization, that's old beef.
It's nothing new, man.
ONE YEAR EARLIER
You know that going by land is cheaper and safer than by plane.
Bolivian coke was pouring through Pedro Juan, man.
I guess the Organization thought,
"Why are we paying this asshole so much if he works with the competition?"
Hi, my love. How are you?
Is everything okay?
Tell me, is there anything odd happening outside?
No, everything's fine. I was just asking, that's all.
But they didn't just kill him. They were sending a message.
"The border has a new king now. The Organization is in charge."
But they forgot something.
-To make a deal with the Ambassador. -The Paraguayan dealer. Who is he?
I don't know. It's just what I hear.
Bullshit!
Where do you get your coke from?
I have no idea, man.
You seem like you like beating people up. Jesus.
I'm nobody.
I only know what I hear.
For fuck's sake.
Fucking tell me.
The Ambassador is smart as hell.
He's got serious brains, you know what I mean?
He was born in Brazil, man,
but as far as business goes, he grew up in Paraguay.
ASUNCIÓN, TACUMBÚ PENITENTIARY
It's like this, man.
His operation is smaller than the Organization's,
but since he got to Paraguay first, he's a giant here.
He got his nickname because he's a master negotiator.
But he went crazy when they killed Riyad, man.
Riyad made it easier for him to move his product.
Plus, they told him he could only sell to the Organization.
He's not as strong as the Organization, but he has enough ammo to terrorize them.
"My friends, there are times of peace and times of war."
The Organization hasn't had peace on the border since he gave the order.
Wherever they tried to cross with their product,
the Ambassador's men were hot on their heels.
There was a lot of damage.
Shitloads of people died, man.
And it wasn't just on one side. It was both sides.
All I know is that, after a few months, the war in Pedro Juan stopped.
Out of nowhere, total peace.
What about that robbery?
I don't know anything.
All I know is that there are Brazilians involved, you know?
From now on, keep the phone on.
Cooperate and you'll be fine.
Go straight to the lab when you get there.
Of course. Do you want anything from Brasília?
Distance.
-Keep me updated. -Yes, sir.
Fix the scale for me.
It's good to see you, Bigode.
-What's up? -Hey.
How is everything?
How did the job go?
We had some trouble.
How much did you get out?
Seven.
Seven?
You only got seven out?
-Did you know about this? -No.
I didn't know.
We should look into it, Bigode. Check in with our friends.
Did you follow protocol?
-I did. -Let's do what we have to.
-It's on. -Hey, Sheik.
We're discussing something with the brothers.
We've got Soulless here.
He had some trouble. It was broadcast on the radio, TV, newspapers.
He's got a deficit.
He only brought seven.
Start talking, man.
Hey, Sheik.
First, I'd like to thank my brothers
for the chance to explain myself, you know?
I've been in the family for 15 years,
and I've always done what's right. Isn't that right?
Get to the point, man.
We lost most of it as we fled.
We lost a lot of men.
I tried to handle it before coming here but couldn't.
This is the issue, man.
The guys who were with Mamute, RIP, lost everything.
My brothers also suffered losses,
and Carimbo made an error, which he's paying for elsewhere.
We're gonna look into this.
All right. We'll be waiting.
Put someone on the other line who can verify this.
I'm calling Mentex. He's in the system.
Call that guy. He told me about this.
We verified your information.
He confirmed what you said.
But you have to handle it.
You represent those of us who are locked up inside.
I know.
That's why I came here
to ask for a vote of confidence to continue my path on this mission.
I'll bring what's missing.
I'm giving you my word, and my word is bond.
-Okay? -Okay.
Listen, brother. It's all good with the family.
The Ambassador is the issue.
They gave us three months to raise R$30 million.
If we don't, we can't make good on my promise
and the deal is off.
Our peace will be ruined.
So you'll get that 30 however possible, got it?
Got it.
So get on it. Go with God.
Come on, family.
Given that talk, brother Soulless is free.
All right?
BRASÍLIA, FEDERAL DISTRICT FEDERAL POLICE HEADQUARTERS
Hi, how are you?
-Hi! -Leave your things there.
Make yourself at home.
Shall I show you?
Tell me that one of you has something concrete.
Okay, what do we have besides a suspect who's waiting on his release papers?
Alvinegro?
That motherfucker!
He was the driver, boss.
He drove for the robbery and the prison break.
Do you have proof?
Because without proof he's just another forger
who happened to be at the wrong bus station.
Come with me.
Fifteen samples are ready.
I've never seen it so fast. The database--
My database brings together DNA from all over Brazil.
It could be a lot bigger if it were taken seriously,
but lately, my budget requests have been ignored.
I'm sorry, can we get to the results?
Everyone here is excited.
Of course. Look.
This is an analysis of links--
That we developed as the results came in.
You won't understand, but this is the crux.
Of the first 15 samples processed, we have 15 matches.
Matches with what?
Mostly samples collected from other cases.
-Specifically ten cases. -Yeah.
The guys from Proguard were at, at least, ten other crimes in the country,
together or separately.
This is the map of the body of crime involving property in the country.
-But none are identified? -Some are.
But most aren't. Not yet.
What about this guy?
His DNA matched some we found on a cup at the mansion.
Wait, one more thing.
The DNA found on the blood traces from Santos' killer at the prison
matched with some found at the mansion.
It's Santos' killer's, Benício.
It's Soulless. He worked with Alvinegro.
Give me your fucking cuffs!
