Maria helps Dadá give birth in the midst of a police attack. The gang is suffocated by Silvério Batista's soldiers, who prevent them access to food. As everyone starves, Maria tries to find solutions and have a greater say in the gang's decisions, but faces resistance from the men, even from Lampião himself. Silvério tries to find the gang's location so he can attack them and, along the way, victimizes Lurdes. Finally, Lampião accepts Maria's plan, increasing tensions within the group, especially with Corisco. But Maria's joy is shattered by what she feared most.
