01x07 - Zayn

[bunniefuu]

-Hi, Tai!
-Hi! Shall we grab a beer?

I'd love to, but I can't.
I'm in the middle of something.

I can't just forget
about me father.

I'm sorry. I don't have
the right to judge, but...

I just wanted to go
and have a beer with you.

I know.

Thank you. Really.

Don't you think it'd be better
if Raul helped you?

No, not yet.

Don't tell anyone about this.

I'll talk to Raul eventually.
I promise.

I'm just waiting
for the right moment. Bye.

EPISODE:
ZAYN

Thanks.

Amir.

This cheesy thing is awesome,
a work of art, man.

Aisha has been teaching me.

Here. Sorry for the distraction.

You know how my life is.

What is this, Raul?

My wedding gift.

But you know
I haven't got married yet.

You've been engaged
for three years, right?

I never gave you anything.

The truth is, you've been
an excellent informant.

Yes, a friend. Thank you.

What's wrong?

Did something happen?
You look...

I'm a bit tired, Raul.
Maybe I got the flu.

What's going on?

Do you know my brother Zayn?

He came with Aisha from Syria.

Yes. He sometimes
works here, right?

I think I know him.

Exactly.

He was last seen 15 days ago.

What?

My parents came to Brazil
for my wedding.

They've spent four years
waiting for this,

for me to raise money
to build my house with Aisha.

Now I have it all, Raul,

but my brother is missing,

and I'm not in the mood
to do anything.

Aisha says
that's why I get sick.

Nobody told you anything?

Here at the market
or the taken building?

You know, in my situation,
I can't ask too many questions.

I can't even go to the police.

Right.

Fifteen days?

Who was the last person
to talk to Zayn?

Me. We left the building
together.

I came here to open the stand,

and he went to buy
some things we needed,

some kitchen tools,
to this shop next door,

but never came back.

Listen,
I'll work this out, okay?

You know I can't pay you
right now.

Please, forget about it.

You don't need to pay me.

Just focus on getting better,
getting over the flu.

Let's do some betting. Ten.

I can't believe you're betting
on Maria Júlia's whereabouts.

I wouldn't be surprised
if she disappeared from here

in the same way
she showed up at "Ausentes".

-Out of nowhere.
-Of course not.

She must be with a guy,
they must have slept together.

If you really believe that,
put ten bucks.

What are you betting on, Waldir?

Betting?

Listen. Zayn Farah.
21 years old.

Syrian.

He's been living
in São Paulo for four years.

He works at a food stand
with his brother, Amir.

He doesn't have a Brazilian ID
or hold a passport.

He's been missing for 15 days.

Does he have a phone?

Yes, according to his brother,

but he's not answering
his calls.

-It's a cloned line.
-Where does he live?

At a taken building
near Cambucí.

He has his own food stand
at Mooca.

And...

They work together.
They are like two peas in a pod.

But his brother is missing.

Can I ask you something?
How is he going to pay for this?

It's going to be pro bono.

-What's wrong?
-What's wrong, you ask?

He's a good man
and a good informant.

Waldir,
go to the taken building.

-Cambucí?
-Right.

Tai, look more into Zayn's life.

Edith, don't you have
clients to attend to

or candies to make?

-Hey!
-Where is Maria Júlia?

What the hell!

It smells good.

Two brothers at that stand.
Amir and Zayn.

-No.
-Have you seen him?

I sell fabrics.
I haven't seen him.

Hi.

-How are you?
-Fine, and you?

Good.

Do you know Zayn,
Amir's brother?

Yes, of course.
He always shops here.

When was the last time
Zayn was here?

Two weeks, at least.

When he was here, was he weird?

Do you think
he was talking or acting weird?

No, he just wanted to know

how to earn extra money.

He was on the phone
with someone.

He was arguing.
He left before buying anything.

There.

You can come in.

Excuse me.
I work with Raul Fagnani.

Amir hired us.

I know it must be painful
to talk about your son Zayn,

but any information
can be helpful

Please, come in and sit down.

Excuse me.

My mother had a sewing machine
just like that one.

Is it yours?

She understands Portuguese.

She doesn't speak,
but she understand.

When it's not working,
Zayn fixes it, you know?

-Where does Zayn sleep?
-There.

-May I...?
-Yes, sure.

Excuse me.

Do those fabrics belong to Zayn?

His mother likes sewing.

Zayn got a good discount
from some friends

and brought them here.

Does he have many friends?

Amir is his best friend.
They're always together.

Does he have a girlfriend?

Our community doesn't have
lots of women.

Maria Júlia?

How did you find me?

I work
in an investigation agency.

We sometimes find things out.

I didn't know
if you liked flowers.

I brought these for you.

Mom?

Sit down, please.

Dad told me he gifted
this greenhouse to you.

It's beautiful.

Everything's going
to be okay, mom.

You know?

It's going to be okay.

I'm going to take care of you.

I promise he won't hurt you.

I gave him money
so that we could talk.

Just a few questions.

I know him.

It's sad. Amir is a good guy.

He wants Zayn back.

Aisha, I know you find it hard
to talk about anything.

But I need you to trust me
when I say

I'm here to help.

Did Amir and Zayn have a fight?

CANDY PALACE

Easy, man.

I don't want to carry
anyone today.

I haven't seen you for so long.

Since...

Since you activated the grenade

and made me look like a fool
in my own police station.

Here's to the fool.

What about the new girl?

Did she get rid of you already?

If you're here
waiting for an apology,

you came on the wrong day.

Me?

Demanding an apology
from the great Raul Fagnani?

I'm forever grateful, partner.

The man you beat up
in my police station.

For the adoption g*ng.

You couldn't talk to him
while he was in custody.

But he's no longer in custody.

He is at that address.

Why are you giving this to me?

Raul? I'm worried
about Maria Júlia.

You never liked her, Edith.

I know. But anyway...

The girl is a bit strange.

Maybe she had a meltdown
and disappeared? Yes.

But I don't know.

She was happy here, wasn't she?

She seemed happy.

Did something happen to her?

I don't know that.

But I do know
I'll get a headache

if I keep talking about this.

My Lord!

-Raul.
-Thanks, Waldir.

Okay, let's go.

When Zayn was last seen,

he was arguing with someone
over the phone.

Aisha, Amir's girlfriend,
says Zayn and Amir had a fight.

Was it Amir who was arguing
with Zayn over the phone?

Don't they work together?

Yes, at the food stand.

He was trying to get
another job.

He had had an argument
with his brother

because he wanted
to become independent.

What job was that?

Maybe we get more information
about Zayn from those people.

I found some rolls of fabric
under his mattress.

That's something very expensive
for someone who sells food.

What are you getting at?

Zayn's father told me
he fixes sewing machines.

He may be working
in a factory, in a store.

Many immigrants are used
as sl*ves in those places.

There must be
around 200 factories in Brás.

Immigrants don't go too far
from their community.

It's too dangerous to do that.

If Zayn got a job,

someone from the taken building
must have let him know about it.

That's right.

Tai, go with Waldir.

Okay, but I've never done
field research before.

There's a first time
for everything, right?

I'm leaving. Don't be late.

Tai?

I've noticed Maria Júlia and you
are hiding something.

Does that have to do
with her disappearing?

Would you prefer me
to find out on my own?

Would you?

Or we can sort this out
once and for all

if you start telling me
the truth.

How do you feel?

It was close.

If the car had gone
five miles per hour faster

or had hit me 40 inches higher.

I told you they were dangerous.

You need to be very careful.

I know how to look after myself.

Melina, why don't you stop this?

Go back home.

Carry on with your life.

What home?

I don't have anywhere
to go back to.

I'll go all the way.

You were almost k*lled
yesterday.

That wouldn't have been nice.

You're a nun, but you worry
too much about death.

Don't you think?

I'm not afraid of death.

I'm afraid of life.

Because it finds so many ways
to humiliate us

that you don't even imagine.

I never understood

why they keep flowers
at the hospital.

Why would you give something
that will die or is already dead

to somebody that's sick?

Are you that bad?

The nurse said
you had some broken bones,

but I see you're being given
the last rites.

Hi.

Hi.

These are for you.

Are you doing to fire me?

It depends.

Are you going to claim
it was a work accident?

No.

It didn't happen
during my working hours.

Actually, I never know
my working hours.

I know the agency

is a little dysfunctional.

But we are a team.

I would jump in front of a train
for any of you.

And I know
you would do the same for me.

You should have talked to me.

You should have told me.

Keep the flowers.

I'll be waiting for you
to come back to the agency.

I hope it's soon.

I won't go easy on you

just because of two or three
broken ribs.

I won't.

Get better soon.

-I will.
-I know.

I know you will.

Find out the details
about that store, Tai.

Okay? Thank you.

Are you Aisha?

We work with Raul.

We need to talk to you and Amir.

.Amir.

Aisha has nothing to say.

Go inside, Aisha

We learnt Zayn and you
got into a fight.

Yes, siblings have fights.
What's wrong with that?

Amir, you hired us.

You need to be honest.

Dad.

Dad, I don't...

Please, this is not
what you think.

What if it's true?

Dad!

No, dad.

If you let me take a puff,
I promise I won't tell anyone.

How do you get rid of the smell
in your hand?

Garlic!

Garlic covers the smell.
I cook at home.

Amir likes it.

Don't you feel uncomfortable
by the way he treats you?

The way he talked to you.

Amir is good.

He's better than the men
where I grew up.

My father and Mr. Farah
are partners.

They arranged the marriage.

Where's your family?

They are dead.

Or in prison.

Or abroad.

Have you ever heard of a factory

who employs
newly arrived immigrants,

undocumented?

Aisha, I...

I know how you feel.

We will find Zayn,
but only if you talk to me.

Think of his mother.

You know how hard it is

to lose someone we love.

How can you know?

Who do you think you are
to tell me that?

What about Aisha?
Did she tell you anything?

Not really, but...

I don't know.
I feel she knows something,

but didn't want to tell me.

Hi.

Hi.

-What's up?
-You live here, right?

Do you want 20 bucks?

Twenty?

What do I have to do
to get them?

Just tell me the name of the guy

that employs people
at the factory.

I prefer not to get
the 20 bucks then.

What are you doing?
Are you crazy?

If I pat you down,
will I find weed?

-You're not a cop.
-Would you like to see?

I'm sure your family
are living in Brazil

undocumented.

Do you know
what will happen to them

if I lock you up?

This factory.

Do you know it?

-Baruk.
-Louder. I didn't get it.

Baruk.

This guy, Baruk,
owns the factory.

You can keep them.

Leave.

Was that really necessary?

You were very tough on that kid.

Welcome to my world.

FIND BARUK. HE'S RESPONSIBLE.

Hello.

Are you looking
for something for you?

Yes.

Something for the cold.

They say the winter
is going to be tough.

Yes. In this factory,
we use pure cotton, fabrics.

We don't use wool.
But we have quality fabrics.

You must employ many people

to get to cut
such a big amount of fabric.

I've been told
that you are always

hiring people,

that I should talk to Baruk.

Listen, here we work honestly.

If that's what the police want,
doors are open.

But with a warrant.
Only with a warrant.

Hey, I'm just curious.
I'm not a police officer.

The truth is that Baruk

is a good friend of mine.

And I need to find him,
you know?

We can talk
when I finish my shift.

See you later.

It's horrible.

But have you seen
any convenience store over here?

There's something
I should tell you.

I should have told you already.

-My name is not Maria Júlia.
-I know.

Melina Ruiz.

I did my homework
when you had the accident.

I don't know I lied to you
for so long.

At the end of the day,
you're everything I have.

You and her.

The Mother Superior?

We all have secrets.

What do I call you now? Melina?

Maria Júlia?

I think Maria Júlia suits better
with who I am now.

Did you say
you investigated my father?

Yes.

Not a trace of him.

He hasn't made contact
for so long.

You can't change reality.

You're saying he's dead
and I should move on?

Tai told me about the people
he was related to.

Do you know who they are?

You could have died.

This has gone too far.

If you were me, Raul,

would you stop searching?

That's what I imagined.

I need to keep on doing this.

Tell me who they are.

The company
Tai and you found out

is a front operation.

It's used to import cars,
but, in reality,

it's a cover-up
for drugs and weapons.

That's what I've found out
so far.

Thank you.

Omar Baruk.

It's me.

How did you get to me?

Regular fabric shops
don't receive

big amounts of fabric, do they?

It looks like you have
just one seller at the shop.

But I saw a man
brought snacks earlier.

How many people do you keep
in your basement?

Is that how you will talk to me?

If you're looking
for that kind of conversation,

-you can leave now.
-No. Please, no.

I didn't come here
to find out about the sl*ves.

Just one in particular.

His name is Zayn Farah.

sl*ve?

Zayn?

Zayn is not a sl*ve.

Zayn is the manager of the shop.

Zayn is a smart guy.

I wouldn't make him
fix machines.

It would be a waste of talent.

His responsibility
is making the staff progress.

-When did he start?
-About a month ago.

But it's not easy.
He has a strong personality.

Do you know
where he is, where he lives?

I suspect that just telling you
where my best man is

is the worst idea.

I care about people.

That's good.

He's at my friend's apartment.

But it's dangerous there.

It's in Crackland.

I wouldn't go there at night.

Why did you call me?
Is Zayn here?

We can't do anything for Zayn
until tomorrow morning.

This is something private.

Private?

Damasceno has arrested a man

from the g*ng
that kidnapped Sofia.

That b*stard kidnapped
four and five-year-old kids.

He assaulted them.

He's the man
that kidnapped Sofia, Waldir.

I see.

Still. Don't even try.

Let him go, Waldir.

Let him go now!

I want him! Don't move!

When I was a kid,
a guy in my neighborhood

loved talking to children.

Please, man!

The people from the neighborhood
beat him up.

He got so badly injured

that he couldn't tell his story.

I still don't know
what he wanted from those kids.

I don't know his story.

Sometimes,

the only thing we need
is a chance

to tell our story.

A chance to redeem ourselves.

A chance to fix our mistakes.

Raul.

Wait, the guy
drove through a red light,

and nobody called the police?

No, I don't think so.

The street was empty.
Nobody saw it.

The car that ran over you,
is it the same car

you saw in the car rental shop
and your father's apartment?

Is there anyone in São Paulo
you haven't told you about this?

Look at the size
of the agency, Maria.

Everyone knows everything here.

Besides, what's the matter
with that?

Do you know what it is?
Raul's curse.

Yes, that man attracts
tragedies.

He does.

All the women
he becomes involved with

end up like that.

No, but I'm not...

What's going on? My Lord!
I can't say anything.

Raul?

About last night...

We're going to look
into the address he gave me

once we're done with this case.

I'm really worried about Amir.

I'm worried that he succumbs.

Listen, we thought Zayn
had fallen into the hands

of those who take advantage
of immigrants.

That wasn't the case.

He put himself forward
as a manager of sl*ves.

He's fine!

And by "fine", he means

he's living in an apartment
in Crackland.

Zayn fought with his brother,
and got a far off job and place.

Why didn't he tell anyone
about it?

-Why did they fight?
-Ask his brother.

If you asked him already,
do it again.

If he wants to find his brother,
he will need to talk.

We won't find anything out
if we stay here.

Talking to his parents
doesn't work.

They think Zayn is a saint.

And his girlfriend
won't say a word either.

-His girlfriend!
-What about her?

Of course!

It has to be that, Raul.

Tai!

The girlfriend idea
was mine! Tai!

No. You need to rest.

-Raul, please.
-I'm serious.

Edith?

Keep an eye on her, okay?

She mustn't go out.
If she does, you're both fired.

I don't even work for you!

It's delicious.

Amazing.

This snack

should be considered
historic heritage.

-It's fantastic.
-We're not in a cooking show.

Aisha is not here.

That's weird.
She rarely doesn't come.

She told me her boss
is annoying.

Okay. It seems
that, once a week,

she visits her sister,
who is sick. Or seems to be.

I don't know,
I didn't understand.

Her sister? She lost her family
during the w*r.

Why would he lie to her boss?

It depends on who she visits
when she finishes working.

If it's a man...

Can I know
what we're looking for?

Something that proves
that Aisha is the reason

why these two brothers
had a fight.

You said that, as days go by,
Amir's health gets worse.

Yes, but it doesn't surprise me.

His brother's been missing
for so long.

They were like two peas
in a pod.

But I saw how he treated Aisha.

Honestly, if I had been her,
I wouldn't have liked it.

They have
a different culture, Tai.

I know.

There's no point. There isn't!

Let's see if we can find
Zayn and Aisha in Crackland.

This is the apocalypse, right?

Aisha.

Zayn. Hold on.

I want to talk to you.

Your brother hired me
to look for you.

They are really worried.

-You don't get it.
-Yes. I know you argued, but...

Your parents said
that you and your brother

have been best friends
since forever.

Maybe I'm your only chance
to clear up everything.

Hey, I saw you.

Is Aisha the reason?
Do you want your brother's wife?

Don't say her name.

For Amir, Aisha is an object.

A way to get other things.

Not for me.
She's my entire life.

We need to run away
to have a live in peace.

I see.

Why don't you explain this
to them

and try to talk?

I ask you. I beg you.

I beg you.
Don't tell Amir where I am.

Not now.

We're really close.

Amir is very sick.

He's been very weak
since you disappeared.

Zayn, Amir is my client,
but he's also my friend.

I wouldn't be fair for me
not to tell him about this.

You can't be that nervous.

You are restless.

Leave her alone, Edith.

She's been standing for hours.

Did you expect me to jump
over Crackland's wall

-with Waldir?
-I didn't expect anything.

What? When did we start
jumping over walls?

Have you even seen
my knee, Edith?

It can tell you
the humidity level.

Come here, Waldir.

I sacrificed myself so much.

I worked nonstop, day and night.

What for?

You're a good friend, Raul.

Thank you.

You're young, Amir.

You're full of life.

Look after your health, live!

Many good things
will happen to you.

Do you want to finish
what we started yesterday?

Is this the right address?

He wouldn't lie.

This place
used to be their base.

There has to be something
in here.

I don't know why you didn't tell
Raul about the jar.

Aisha is only 20 years old.

She lost her family in Syria.

She's alone,
and he controls her.

I think she deserves a chance.

Aisha!

We're here to talk to you.

I found this in your house.
Tell me what it is.

You don't get it.

Aisha, you're in Brazil.
Things are different here.

You don't need to get married.

Aisha.

You don't need this
in order to be free here.

Is that what you think?

It's arsenic, right?

You were going to k*ll Amir
with this?

Amir is good with others.

But not with me at home.

Zayn really loves me.

I lost everything in the w*r.

Zayn is the only good thing
I have left.

I don't want to k*ll anyone.
I just want to live my life.

I know.

-I just want to live with Zayn.
-I know.

But we need to take Amir
to the hospital, you know?

-To the hospital?
-We need to.

You're not going anywhere!

-Amir!
-b*stard!

-Amir!
-You're a sl*t!

Let's go, Aisha.

Please, calm down!

Come on, Aisha!

-Tell me, Tai.
-You have to come, Raul.

Amir is going to k*ll
his brother.

Damn it! Okay.

Zayn, come out now!

Come on, be a man
and show your face!

Zayn, come out now!

Be a man!

Zayn, come out!

Be a man and show your face!

Amir!

Put your g*n down.

-Calm.
-She should stop crying

and tell everyone the truth.

Aisha is a sl*t! A sl*t!

She confessed they've been
together since Syria.

Her parents would be ashamed
of what she has done.

Put your g*n down, man!

So many women in the world.
Why mine?

-Why, Raul?
-Yes.

Why mine?

Aisha is the love of my life!

I love her!

And I'm going to die for her!

No! No!

Stop!

Calm!

Zayn!

What are we doing here?

Do you see any allotment
or vegetable garden here?

If there's no garden
to look after,

what are all these shovels for?

Start digging, Waldir.

We need to dig holes
all over the garden.

Come on!

Waldir.

Waldir.

What is that?

It's a damn human bone!

It belonged...

to a kid.

to a kid.
