Maria: The Outlaw Legend

Maria and Lampi?o go after their daughter in another city, where Dondon kept her safe from Silv?rio. Dondon heard on the radio that the government sent soldiers after them. Lampi?o does not want to die like a nobody. Durand introduces himself to Silv?rio and together they promise to put an end to the Canga?o. Maria and Lampi?o take the boat that will take them to their daughter, but with their faces plastered all over posters, they are easily recognized. Maria realizes that she will never be able to give her daughter the life she deserves. The couple gathers what remains of the gang to face Silv?rio and Durand's troops. Side by side, Maria and Lampi?o open fire on the soldiers and face their destiny head on.

Z? Bispo is tormented by what he did to Lurdes. Maria wants to run away with her daughter, but that is more difficult than she imagines. Maria is reported to Silv?rio. Lampi?o decides to go after his wife. Maria is injured and Lampi?o makes a promise if his wife survives. Benjamin Abrah?o, a Lebanese photographer, appears at the group's hideout and promises fame and money in exchange for filming and photographing them. The photos taken are broadcast worldwide through the newspapers, irritating the federal government, which takes action. Maria and Lampi?o have another problem: everyone in the country knows their faces. The government mobilizes a new troop.

Lampi?o consults a doctor, who recommends a period of rest. He then moves the gang to spend some time on the farm of Federalina, the widow of his late friend, where mother and daughter now live. Maria is enchanted by their lifestyle, speaking French and playing the piano, and dreams of her family life. Lampi?o asks Federalina for help to buy land in another state. She promises to help, but has other intentions. Maria and Lampi?o do not forgive her. Meanwhile, Lurdes and Curi? get dangerously close. In order not to offend the honor of the men, Lampi?o ignores Maria's plea and, outraged, she decides to leave him.

Silv?rio's offensive goes wrong thanks to the warning of a friend. After a difficult birth, Maria hands her daughter over to her sister. Something seems to have changed in Maria when she holds the girl in her arms and she talks to Lampi?o about the possibility of new paths. However, Lampi?o has other plans and hides his poor health from her. Volta Seca gives an interview to a newspaper, where he says things he shouldn't about the cangaceiros. Silv?rio plans to capture Lampi?o by following his daughter's trail and tortures one of Maria's relatives. Learning about the child's baptism, the police put their plan into action.

Maria makes a promise to one of the women, but the group loses another woman to childbirth. Maria's greatest fear is confirmed and she is removed from the Canga?

Maria helps Dad? give birth in the midst of a police attack. The gang is suffocated by Silv?rio 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 Lampi?o himself. Silv?rio tries to find the gang's location so he can attack them and, along the way, victimizes Lurdes. Finally, Lampi?o accepts Maria's plan, increasing tensions within the group, especially with Corisco. But Maria's joy is shattered by what she feared most.
