Panel 1: Celia notices the incoming canisters raining down. Much like the other people in the background of the shot, you can see a look of panic on her face.
CELIA
(to the shields people, translated from Portuguese)
Shields up!
Panel 2: Cut to an action shot of people with the shields raised above their heads, deflecting a couple of them off and away from the site.
Panel 3: We move to another action shot moments later. One of the tear gas canisters breaks through the shields at another end, sending the crowd scattering all around.
Panel 4: Near the back of the line, we see Dani motoring away to a separate, less gas-filled part of the scene. Her left hand lifting the mask up enough to cough as a result of the gas.
DANI
(to the crowd, translated from Portuguese)
If you've been gassed, head to that bus stop over there. I'll be there in a bit with the milk and soda to--
Panel 5: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. Suddenly, a plastic bullet zips in, puncturing the tire and sending Dani flying off along with the crate of soda and milk. In the background, you can see a few other similar bullets zipping skyward to other targets.
Panel 6: Fueled by the display, Fonte looks on with a smile as he addresses his men. In the background, you can hear the sound of whizzing bullets and tear gas canisters being fired.
FONTE
(to the other officers, translated from Portuguese)
Alright gentlemen! Forward- sweep up any little shit trying to wriggle out.

Panel 1: Action shot of Celia and Marta running for cover next to each other as all kinds of chaos goes on around them. You can see Amelia trailing a few steps behind them, along with a group of other people behind her.

"Let's make 'em regret coming out!"
CELIA
(to Marta, translated from Portuguese)
I saw a convenience store that way a few minutes ago. We can shelter there till the pigs pull back...
Panel 2: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. Her train of thought is disrupted slightly by a coughing fit- shared by Marta- forcing her to take the mask off. In the background, Amelia is seen peeling off to the right at the sight of something.
CELIA
(Cont.)
<COUGH!> <COUGH!>...to lay low, in the short term- till the pigs pull back.
MARTA
(to Celia, correcting; translated from Portuguese)
<COUGH!> N--Nice idea...if I could see three feet in front of me. Or if we knew they weren't charging in behind us.
CELIA
(Bubble 2)
Lia's got her phone. We can use Google Maps to find the place. As for the other bit, well...
Panel 3: The two of them stop moving a moment later, searching either side for their young cohort. Marta looks over to the left, while Celia searches to the right; her face suddenly despondent upon discovering her.
CELIA
Oh no...
Panel 4: Action shot of Amelia being beaten up by a couple of officers with batons. You can see the person she was protecting on the ground a few feet from them, barely moving their arms and legs.
Panel 5: Back to a shot of Celia's face, which has changed to a silent roar of anger in her eyes; her fist clenched as she speaks.
CELIA
(Cont.)
You heartless fucks-welcome to the worst decision you've ever made!
Panel 6: A beat later, she sprints in full stride toward the officers with a considerable rush of rage and energy in her eyes.
MARTA
(Off-Panel)
CELIA!
