01x04 - Still Thinking

[bunniefuu]

-Come have breakfast.
-No.

Get off that couch.

No.

Your stomach must be emptier
than your heart, Ana.

It's not.

Spending days on the couch in PJs
won't help you work things out with Pedro.

I don't wanna work things out with Pedro.
I don't wanna see him.

GITA: Uh-huh.

Look who's here.

Gita. Ana.

This can't be good.

So, I'm struggling to believe
there are bad people in the world,

but Cynthia's nearly convincing me.

Yeah. Why does she want to ruin my career?

Ana, I spent my whole life thinking
I had all the answers.

I admit, I can't answer this one, girl.

Toni, self-pity doesn't fit you.
Let's be pragmatic. What can we do now?

At the moment, the only thing we can do
is cancel that contract,

so you can be free again.

So, I'll call Agnes, and we'll go see her!

IT'S ALL RIGHT

PEDRO: Excuse me.

You're four minutes
and forty-seven seconds late, Pedro.

Come in.

Stop. What are you wearing?

Working clothes.

If you're gonna write songs,
don't ever wear this suit.

Only Tom Jobim, the Beatles, or jazz
musicians can afford this style, honey.

Okay.

And if you're gonna work again
as a lawyer,

I suggest you never wear that suit.

Dress for the job you want,
not the job you have.

-Right.
-You may go, thanks.

Pedro! That's sarcasm!

That's a joke! Sit here, please.
Let's get to work!

Come on! So... Let's do this.

What have you prepared for me?

-What do you mean?
-Do you speak Portuguese?

-I do.
-What have you prepared for me?

I heard one of your songs.
I wanna hear all of them.

Go on, the guitar is over there. Go ahead.

-I wrote a song which I began...
-You wrote it. Okay.

-Go on.
-I think you'll like it.

(SINGING)

No! This harmony is too cheesy!

For God's sake, Pedro. That's a bad song.

I wanna hear a good song!
Show me one! Go on, next.

I don't have another song now.

What do you wanna do for a living, dear?

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

-Pedro?
-Pedro is gonna be the label's new artist.

Go take a walk.
I'm gonna have a woman chat right now.

Okay. We have a simple solution.

Let's cancel the deal.
If you don't like my music,

let's terminate the contract,
so I am free to close other deals.

What do I get out of it?

What do you get out of not having
our contract in effect?

Baby, do you know the music industry?

Yes.

No one tells the truth, girls.

This is a common practice.

Sometimes a label signs with an artist

just so they don't sign
with another label and become a hit.

-But it doesn't make any sense.
-This is the music industry, baby.

Welcome.

-Guys, I'm not mean. I swear!
-Yeah...

I just have the guts to say what
no one says. Things people hide from you.

And there's only one truth.

You're not gonna record anything in here.

And you can't record anything
anywhere else either.

Woman, have you ever gone to therapy?

Ladies, you're beautiful!

Ana, you're a great songwriter.

-Agnes, you're a great producer.
-Thanks.

But the truth is,

no one can stand these romantic songs
you make anymore!

I think we worry
about very different things.

Whatever, baby.

When you want to reinvent
yourself as an artist

and stop making boring songs,
we'll talk, okay?

You see why I didn't wanna sign
with a label?

We won't give up our artistic liberty.

-That's cute!
-According to the contract,

we have the right
to one million in advance.

Which must be used
according to the label's planning.

-That money belongs to us!
-It belongs to me!

And according to the contract,

it must be used when it's necessary.

But... Just out of curiosity,

what do you want this money for?

We need the money to...

Forget it! I don't need to explain
why we need the money.

You know what? Give me your lawyer's
number. We'll settle this legally.

I'll give it to you.

Hey, bro,

your life is upside down, right?
Here's the thing.

Turn it upside down again,
and it'll be back on its feet.

(CHUCKLES)

So?

Jesus! It's not possible.

-Can we do anything?
-Maybe.

-What?
-I'm just the receptionist.

But there's always something to do.

Help me think of something.

I guess it must be something
that seems impossible,

but can actually be done.

Ana's bound to a contract that stops her
from recording anything outside the label,

and they won't get
the house money anytime soon.

The contract is the problem.

-No contract, no problem.
-No contract, no problem.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

-Manu Gavassi?
-No, I'm your conscience.

Why is my conscience Manu Gavassi?

You tell me. The conscience is yours.

My theory is that
Manu Gavassi is the best.

-Yeah.
-You thought too much.

She worked hard since she was young,
starred in a reality show to make a point

and changed, let's say,
the whole industry.

Today, she is happy making art.
And a visual album on the same platform.

Proving her artistic liberty which targets
purpose and feelings, not numbers.

All of it before turning thirty.

She's just getting started.

It makes perfect sense that the voice
of my conscience is you.

-Doesn't it?
-Mmm-hmm.

I'll explain what happens now.

You got to a crucial moment
of your existence as a little human being

and you're hallucinating.

You need a great conclusion to get your
magic answer and live happily ever after.

Or almost. Regarding screenwriting,
we call this an eureka moment.

Regarding music, we call this a bridge.
And regarding life, we call this... life!

So, do I have to make a decision now
that will turn the tables completely?

Quickly, because I have
other things to do.

Okay, I'm sorry for taking your time,
but can you give me a tip?

Say something to help me,
so I don't leave empty-handed.

(ETHEREAL MUSIC PLAYING SOFTLY)

My bad, Manu. I'm a very bad mime.

Okay. I'm trying to be a good conscience.
You know?

Saying this in a mysterious,
motivational way, and not very clearly.

Your heroes! They were all wrong.

Insecure, weird and lost like you.

Weren't you supposed to help me?
Because now you're calling me names.

But they followed
what they believed anyway.

Weren't they scared? I think they were,

but they didn't care
about making mistakes or being judged.

Maybe they cared a little bit, but they
knew there was something more important,

and that was accomplishing something.

And that thing about having dreams, Pedro,
it has no instruction manual.

And no one tells you

that what is much more important
than the dream you think you have

is the path and who you become
as you try to fulfill it.

And you may never fulfill your dream.

Or you may change your dream,
but then you've become...

the person of your dreams.

And what would the Pedro
of your dreams do now?

Man, I like it.
Have you thought about being a coach?

No way. My Wikipedia is a mess.

-Steal that contract, Pedro.
-Okay.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Gita, I have an idea.

The label's digital vault is one
of the safest vaults in the world.

They have head offices in twenty capitals.

Each one has the same vault,
the same security system.

They have an exclusive server.

It's different from the regular Internet
we use.

Inside the vault,

they have valuable information
about the greatest artists in the world.

Inside this vault, this computer,
lays Ana's contract.

Few people have access to it.

Toni had access, but not anymore.

-There's only one option left.
-Cynthia.

Cynthia.

Clara is going to put a sleeping pill
inside her coffee cup.

(CLINKS)

There are three security systems
inside the vault.

Number one watches the temperature.
Number two, the movement on the floor.

Number three, the noise.
If any of those alarms get activated,

the virtual system turns off,
and the cops are called.

There's just one way in,
which is through the air shaft.

I'll use the shaft to get in.

Gita, you're gonna be
in the car outside the label, okay?

I got this.

PEDRO: Clara and JP will enter
through the reception.

Lucas and I will get into the air shaft,
which has access to the vault.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC INTENSIFIES)

(BEEPING)

GITA: You're 15 feet away
from getting there.

Here.

Gita, what's the password?

You didn't tell me that part.

Do your magic.

Their system is encrypted.

Nothing that a POS Network level 3
doesn't hack into.

But this would take six to eight minutes.

Lucas, can you take it?

(ROPE CREAKING)

Honey, I'm sorry to interrupt!
It's nothing personal.

We can't wait that long. The medication
effect lasts only five minutes.

I'm trying to do my best!

(ROPE CREAKING)

CLARA: Pedro, try 1973.

One, nine, seven, three.

It's not that.

CLARA: Twenty-seven, 11.

Access granted.

I've always believed in you.

SEARCH
ANA CAETANO

SEARCHING

FILE FOUND
ANA CAETANO CONTRACT

ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DELETE THIS FILE?
NO YES

Done.

DELETING

FILE DELETED SUCCESSFULLY

Wait. Is there a red and a blue wire?

Yes.

You need to cut it.

Okay, which one?

One of them deletes the footage.
The other one blows everything up.

Hey, guys, I can't take it much longer!

Okay. I'm alive. Pull me.

Gita, are you completely out of your mind?

Maybe, and I apologize
for not telling you.

I knew you wouldn't let Pedro do this.

How did you accept this job, Gita?

He told me the whole story
and convinced me.

He loves you, Ana.
He doesn't even know how much.

And what if you're arrested?
What are we gonna do?

He deleted all the videos
in the security system.

There is not a trace.

I'm awesome.

I knew you were awesome at music.
At crime, we've just learned this.

And she is 13.

-Imagine when you are 30!
-You're gonna rob the Colosseum, kid.

It's just ruins now, right?

-She's gonna rob the Colosseum's ruins.
-No doubt.

There's no contract or money anymore.
What do we do?

Yeah. We can't have it all, right?

What if we make a goodbye soirée?

-Julia Mestre, you know things!
-GITA: You're a genius!

-That's it, man.
-(GITA CHUCKLES)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Cynthia
Calling

-Hello?
-Congratulations.

You've just wasted
your opportunity to become a star.

What are you talking about?

Save it, Pedro. I know you did it.

Trying to save your little girlfriend's
career. By the way,

she's not even your girlfriend,
right? Pathetic.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Uh-huh.

You won't be arrested
because you covered your tracks.

But I know you did it.

If you ever come back to this label again,

I swear, Pedro, I swear I...

Hmm.

I won't even finish this sentence.
I'll let you imagine.

Good luck on your career, okay?

Now you're unemployed
as a musician and as a lawyer.

(SOLEMN GUITAR MUSIC PLAYING)

-Look, this was beautiful, yeah?
-JP: Much more than beautiful.

Guys. Thanks for helping me. Really!

Yeah. I don't know. If you didn't come,
we'd spend a couple of days just packing.

Come on,
that's what friends are for, girl.

I wish I knew how to make jokes,

so this moment would be less sad,
but I don't.

That's new. But you don't need to.

Acceptance is part of it too.

It's all right.
We'll still celebrate today.

That's Pedro's. Ana had it.
Can you return it to him?

You've finished packing, right? Sorry,

I was on the phone with Bru.

Who?

-Bruna.
-Bruna who?

Bruna Marquezine, Ana. She's very kind.

-I was in need of some advice.
-I understand.

-Yeah. I know.
-Okay. The boys are already helping us.

-Mmm-hmm.
-How was the audition?

Ah, actually, I haven't had the guts
to send in the video yet.

I don't think it's good enough. You know?

Yes. Vitão,
you have to eventually do this.

-I don't know...
-What cake is this?

-This is...
-Carrot with chocolate!

-Chocolate with carrot!
-What's the difference?

Your cake has chocolate inside
and carrot on the outside.

I didn't even know
you could do this, dude.

-But thanks, I love it.
-Glad you like it.

Mmm.

-I'm sorry.
-I don't know how to say this.

You don't need to.

What do you mean?

I know you, Ana.
I know you have someone else.

Are you upset?

I am, but it's all part
of the game, right?

I have to know what sadness is

to know what happiness is.

-Really?
-Really.

This happens every day.

Everywhere.

I just want you to be happy.

Really?

Pedro is a nice guy.

Go be happy with him.

We had a fight.

-I don't even know what will happen.
-Really?

But you like him, right?

So, go for it, Ana. Don't waste your time.

-Come here!
-(CHUCKLES)

(SONG BLASTING OUT OF HEADPHONES)

So?

-What?
-What are you doing?

(IN ENGLISH) Curriculum.

Musicians don't distribute curriculum,
only music.

Yeah, I'm just a good robber.

No, seriously, I lost everything.

I was fired. I don't have a contract
with the label,

not even an agreement with the girls.
That's what's left.

Yeah, bro. At least
you did the right thing, right?

A little late, but you did.

Look, Gita told me
to give you this little notebook.

Ana had it.

Thanks a lot! And how did it go there?

Sad, but it is what it is.

She wants you to come to the soirée today.

-She?
-Yes, Gita.

Ana wants you to also,
but she lacks the courage to admit it.

Bro, I don't know if coming
to the soirée makes sense,

but I'll think about it, okay?

Pedro, it's about time
you stopped messing things up, bro.

We robbed a vault!

Stop thinking! Get dressed
and come to the soirée with us.

Let's go?

(DRUM MUSIC PLAYING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I know. I know it too.

-Tonight, there's only one rule.
-Hmm.

No one can get sad. Tonight

is meant for us to celebrate this house
and what we've been through here.

Okay, right?

-She comes and goes!
-She comes and goes!

She passed.

I like this.
That's what I'm talking about.

-I'm happy again, you see? That's it.
-Ah.

By any chance, do you know
who's gonna buy the house?

This topic is not allowed tonight.
But, no,

-we don't know. I'll find out tomorrow.
-Cool.

Where's Pedro?

I don't know.

Since he and Ana fought,
Pedro doesn't talk much to me.

He's being very weird.

Yeah. Makes sense.

Why?

You two had a thing, right?

No. Pedro and I never had anything.

I could swear you two were together.
He never tried anything?

Never. We're just friends.

How come?

What do you mean?

Because...

Because... Look at you.

(AI AMOR PLAYING)

(ALL SINGING) Oh, love

Will you share the pain

Of your tired chest

With someone who won't heal you?

My love I'm waiting

To see you coming back

Walking through the door

(IN ENGLISH) Yes.

(IN PORTUGUESE) Hey, play it, dude.

-Please.
-PEDRO: Should I? What's up?

(STRUMMING GUITAR)

(AINDA PENSO PLAYING)

PEDRO: (SINGING) I'm sorry I'm still here

It's just that I wanted
To know how you are

I hope you're better than me

What does she do
To make you happy

I have everything, check it out
I just lost...

My reason
Where would I be

(SINGS) Where could I have been in there?

And almost everything I gave is gone
In such a short time

I know you can't come back anymore

It's just I still think
And I deny, but I search again

I know you can't come back anymore

It's just I still think
And I deny, but I search again

(BOTH VOCALIZING)

(ANA VOCALIZING SOFTLY)

(BOTH VOCALIZING)

PEDRO: I have to say
you're a great writer.

And you're a great robber.

Thank you.

PEDRO: And...

Now what?

I don't know.

PEDRO: Can we work things out again?

You robbed a vault for me.
I think we can do anything.

PEDRO: Yeah.

You want a romantic comedy speech, right?

We do.

Uh-huh.

Look, frankly,

if you want a fairy tale,
I can't give it to you.

I mess up all the time.

I make mistakes. Sometimes I lie.
I wake up with big pouches under my eyes

and terrible breath in the morning.

I can't give you perfection.

I just have this.

Which is a mess, but it's real.

PEDRO: But...

What if you hide something from me again
one day, or if I hide something from you?

This could happen.

Maybe it doesn't work.
Maybe we'll get tired of each other.

Maybe I'll find you annoying for thinking
too much before doing anything.

-This will certainly happen.
-Of course it will,

but I'm in. Even if it goes south.

Even if it goes south 447 times!

I'm up for going through this
447 times again. Are you in?

Four hundred and forty-seven?

I'm in.

(PEDRO CHUCKLES)

PEDRO: What are you doing?

(ANA CHUCKLES)

-You messed up too!
-Sorry.

Where's my speech?

(SOFT PIANO MUSIC PLAYING)

(GUITAR MUSIC PLAYING)

Are you guys ready?

Of course not.

I'm gonna hate anyone
who takes our house away.

Great, Ana Caetano.
Warmth is everything. I'll be right back.

Ta-da!

What do you mean, ta-da, Mrs. Gita?

I'm the new buyer. Nice to meet you.

I don't get any of this.

Yeah. I got a partner
to invest with me. An associate.

Now you're gonna tell me
her name is Cynthia.

No. She's way shorter
and nicer! I guarantee!

The whole planet
is nicer than Cynthia, right?

That's true. She just had one demand.

What?

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

The construction
will take place in the back.

Construction? We don't even know her,
and she'll do construction work here?

You didn't tell us about this!

What will they build?

Ta-da!

-It's Rayssa.
-A skate park,

but if you guys don't like it,
we can think about something else.

No!

-ANA: You can build a skate park.
-We can build ten if you want it.

-In my room. In the living room!
-In the bathroom. In the kitchen too.

-Skating classes?
-I kind of ride like this,

if you want it,
we can do a... kick flip too.

-Casper flip?
-What do you think?

-A 360 flip.
-A 360 flip.

-A 360 flip is good.
-Okay.

-Want some coffee?
-Deal?

A coffee, then, a coffee.
Make some coffee.

(ESTRADA PLAYING)

(SINGING) You came
Without asking permission

Left without saying goodbye

You took shelter with just a welcoming hug

The eyes in the eyes that make us smile

You left without asking permission

You came to color me

You showed me that life happens
From the inside out

Wait, I'll leave the pieces of you

Did you know
that I've always noticed you at parties?

-Yeah?
-Always.

And why haven't you ever come
to talk to me?

I don't know. I always felt
you were something unreachable.

Really?

You've got this attitude.

That's the problem with beautiful people.

Then I think you have the same problem.

So, you aren't unreachable?

Can I reach you?

I've been waiting for this for two hours.

NINA: (SINGING) Let go
Go

With no time to go back

Come, with no fear and you can stay

That the road takes care of carrying

(NINA VOCALIZING)

Little Gita, look at me now

and tell me what animal you see.
Say "eagle," Gita!

An eagle! Yeah! I'm free!

Taking advantage
of your eagle moment, free eagle,

I have a professional proposition
that may interest you.

Wow...

-Feels like we didn't get anything, right?
-Yes, it does.

Well, if we were in a romantic comedy,

you know
what would happen right now, right?

The rejected couple would end up together.

Exactly.

But I think I found my match.

NINA: (SINGS) You came as someone
Who carries storm in the look

Yeah. I think we can't be lucky
in both love and art.

-It seems like it worked out. Right?
-Big time!

-It is like the end of a soap opera.
-Totally!

And to be more like a soap opera ending,
we need a toast, right?

-To what?
-To you two!

-Really?
-Obviously.

-To us.
-And to me. I passed the test too.

-I can't believe it!
-PEDRO: Wow!

-VITÃO: I got the part.
-Congratulations, bro.

I knew it! I told you!

But you're different. What happened?

I don't know. Maybe we don't need
to look like an artist to be an artist.

But you look like an artist. You're hot.

(VITÃO LAUGHS)

-I'm gonna make a speech. Let's go!
-VITÃO: Let's go!

(LOUD CLINKING ON GLASS)

We've struggled a lot to build this.

And we'd like to thank you

for supporting us

and being there for us.

To build the most impossible dreams.

Yes. And today a new dream begins.

The studio and label, Four-Four-Seven.

It's a new label
that will invest in new artists,

without playing games.

Me and Julia as artistic directors.

Clara as a marketing director.

Toni as an executive director.

And Rayssa and Gita, our empresses!

Wonderful! And you know I like a mess.

I like madness. I propose a toast
to this new, wonderful studio!

Let's raise a glass
to the studio Four-Four-Seven!

(CHEERING)

IT'S ALL RIGHT

GITA: They are going on a tour.

The first tour of their lives.

This was Pedro's and Ana's dream.
I think it's every musician's dream.

Bye!

And what about you?

What's your dream?

Yes, your dream. Is it still alive?

Don't let it die.

The creator of this story used to say
that when you buy a lottery ticket,

you don't buy a lottery ticket,
but you buy a dream.

And dreams come true sometimes.
Sometimes they don't.

Even if they haven't come true,
the dreams were good.

Dreams are meant to be dreamed.

So, keep on dreaming.

Who are you talking to?

To people who are watching us. To them.

What people, Gita? Are you crazy?

GITA: I think I'm the only one
who really notices

everything that happens around here.
