Tetsuo!

Mom, I'm keeping an eye on him.

If you looked after him
properly,

I wouldn't have to worry.

I'm sorry, mom.

I'll take good care of him.

You can be relaxed.

What would your sister say
if she saw you right now?

Mom, don't do that
when he's present.

It's okay, honey.

Tetsuo!

-Tetsuo! Tetsuo!
-Tetsuo!

Tetsuo!

Tetsuo!

Tetsuo!

Tetsuo!

EPISODE:
TETSUO

-What's going on, Marcone?
-Not here. You compromise me.

Stop beating around the bush!
I gave it to you a long ago!

It's not that east, Raul.

The specialist I work with
analyzed the bones.

He said they are very rotten.

He needs more time.

How can I make him go faster?

I need to do it calmly.

Do you have any idea
how many DNA tests

are done with this tiny machine?

Of course you know.
You used to be the boss here.

You also know I wouldn't be able
to do that right now.

I know, but what can I do?
I need that DNA test done.

Help me, Marcone!

If you talked to Damasceno...

Talk to him? He's very strict.

He will want to fill out
the paperwork.

Everything organized.

And he won't be able to explain
where those bones came from.

If we do it now, we skip a step
and don't compromise him.

These are children's bones,
Marcone.

But you compromise me!

I'll do what I can, okay?

Thank you.

Your father?

He's in the hospital again.

I don't know what else to do.

You don't have to say anything.
You've helped me a lot already.

Raul?

Raul Fagnani?

I'm sorry. Who are you?

Edith Nonato.

I talked to you over the phone.

Yes, your father?

He's disappeared.

I'm very worried.
He's got Alzheimer's disease.

He's never alone, but...

It was a slip-up.

He went out on his own
and didn't come back.

I don't know what to do.
He left and didn't come back.

Calm. Just breathe, okay?

Help me, Raul.

I was told you could help me,
you're a policeman.

I used to be.

Would you like
some coffee, water?

Yes, a coffee.

Listen.

Thank you very much, Mr. Raul!

Call me Raul.

Okay.

I'm sorry for asking.

Why did we meet here
and not in your office?

First of all, I thought
we'd be more comfortable here.

You'd be calmer
to talk about your father.

And then?

And then,
I haven't had breakfast yet.

I trust you, sir. I mean, Raul.

-Raul.
-My office is near here.

-I'll start working now.
-Okay, thank you.

-Thank you very much.
-You're welcome.

Bye.

You'd better come in.

There's a client
waiting for you.

I've got a team
trained for that.

For a scandal? I don't think so!

Scandal?

Edith?

It's your fault!

Stop, mom! You were there too,
and I'm not blaming you!

If he had been holding my hand,
this wouldn't have happened.

What happened?

Finally! I've been wasting
my time

with your employees.

You're wrong.
They are not my employees.

They are my partners.

What's your name?

Keiko Fukugawa.

My grandson, Tetsuo, disappeared
from Júlio Prestes Station.

It was her fault! She useless!

Stop it, mom!

Are you sure he disappeared?

Did you talk to the staff,
did you ask them?

I begged them to close
the exits.

They told me
that was impossible.

Are you his mother?

His aunt. Yoko died from cancer
two years ago.

Poor Yoko. Tragedies
keep happening to this family.

First Yoko, then Takashi
and now Tetsuo.

You need to find my grandson!

He has no parents.
I'm his only family!

What about me, mom?

Did you talk to the police
at the station?

Yes, they told us...

Brazil's police?
They act only if you pay them.

That's why I came here.

Mom, we don't know
if he was kidnapped.

Maybe he's lost
and he'll show up eventually.

Maria Júlia, get a cup of tea
for Mr. Keiko, please.

Of course.
Come with me, Mr. Keiko.

Let's get you some tea
so that you can relax.

Come with me.

Follow me.

Come.

Tell me.

What?

Your nephews disappeared,
and you think he's just lost?

You didn't want to go
to the police,

but I feel you're not
comfortable here either.

Tell me the truth.

I don't think his disappearance
was an accident.

Involving more people
can be dangerous.

Elaborate on that.

Takashi, Tetsuo's father,

died two weeks ago
in a car accident.

It was raining,
his car skidded and...

He fell from a cliff.

And you think
that wasn't an accident.

He was a great driver.

He used to work as a driver
for some dangerous people.

They smuggle electronic devices
in Santa Ifigênia, you know?

Yes, but...

Smuggled and fake junk

doesn't k*ll anyone.

He found out
they were using him as a mule

to smuggle other things.

He asked them to fire him.

They said no.

Is that why you think
they kidnapped Tetsuo?

So that we stop meddling in,
investigating.

It's a warning.

That's why I want to go home
and wait for that call.

-I see.
-Tetsuo is like a son to me.

Júlio Prestes Station.

Waldir went to check
the security cameras.

Tetsuo.

Tai, the usual.

Morgue, hospitals, police.

Maria Júlia, did Mr. Keiko
say anything else?

Tetsuo is a healthy child.

He's quiet

because he lost his mother
and then his father.

I sense in that family
there's lack of communication.

But that kid
didn't leave on his own.

According to her, he's obedient.

So, I don't know.

You told me that Ayumi told you
the kid's father was k*lled.

Is that true?

I'll check that right now.
Did you find something out, Tai?

Takashi worked
at a dummy company,

as I imagined.

It's related to other companies,
front companies.

I'm afraid it's impossible
to find out who the owner is.

Tai?

Nothing is impossible.
I'll handle that

while you play
with your computer.

Bye.

-What's going on with him?
-He's been like that.

It's difficult!

NO SHOUTING OR WHISTLING
THANK YOU

We will have to sing too?

Ling is very demanding.

If you need something from him,

you have to sing first.

Depending on how you do it,
he will help you or not.

Are you serious?

You almost got me!

-I liked it.
-If you want to, you can sing.

-No, I'm fine.
-Go.

-Raul.
-Hello.

I couldn't believe it
when they told me you were here.

In very good company.

What a success, Ling.

It's hard to believe
you started off at a sake stand.

Yes, and I'd still be there
if it hadn't been for you.

That's not true.

Listen.

Raul, forget it.
Tell me, what do you need?

A client of mine is involved
in an import company.

-h* Shei Eletrônicos.
-I know it.

They provide all the shops
at the neighborhood.

It has several names, you know.

I see.

I need to talk to the owner.

-Do you know who he is?
-You never know

with those people.

Be careful.

I'm always careful.

-You're not.
-You're not.

Give me a name, please.

Here.

Take this sheet of paper.

Be very careful.

I hope I see you singing
here someday.

-I don't think so.
-With you, of course.

Making a duet.

I think it's time to change
the music, Ling.

Thanks again, man.

Bye.

It's here.

Hello.

Yes, can I help you?

We're looking for a man.

Wu?

Vu? I don't know how to say it.

-Who.
-USB cable?

-No.
-No

We want to talk to Mr. Wu.

-Yes.
-With him.

Naomi!

Come here.

Take them there.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So, from now on,

my daughter
is part of this company.

I want to say I'm really happy

to be here working with you.

If anyone doesn't approve of it,

they are fired

I don't know
why you're laughing.

I'm telling the truth.

Melina, my dear daughter,

I'm really happy to have you
here with me.

I am too.

Thank you, dad.

Mr. Wu.

Call me Wu, dear.

How can I help you?

Well...

We're working for the family
of one of your employees.

Takashi Kaneda.

Why do you think
he's my employee?

He works at your company.

-Are you going to deny it?
-No.

Of course not.

But that kind of connection
is not that obvious.

Do you work
for the insurance company?

According to the police,
the case was closed.

We do, indirectly,
but that's not why we came.

Takashi was
an excellent employee.

I trusted him blindly.

That accident was a tragedy.

Do you know
if he trusted you blindly too?

We were told
that, before he died,

he insinuated he was carrying
another type of cargo.

What are you talking about?

We're talking
about more dangerous cargo,

more profitable cargo.

There are many types of cargo.

Some of them are more profitable
than others.

I particularly prefer
the less profitable ones.

It's calmer.

You know? In this business,

it's important
that we understand

the risk we're willing to take.

Right?

What are you doing there?

I'm thinking.

It looks complicated!

I don't know

if it's better for them
to get off at other station

or at this station.

And what's your conclusion?

I need to see the images.
Did you make it?

The police department
has contacted us.

And?

The supervisor
has authorized us.

Good!

Come on, man.

This is all I needed!

Spend the day with you.

Today is your lucky day.

This changes color.

Okay.

It adds up to what I imagined.

Any news about the accident?

So pretty!

Okay.

Perfect. Thank you.

Bye.

Look at this.
For Tai's daughter.

She has one already. Let's go.

To a less noisy place.

Shall we?

I'll take it. 20, right?

It's good,
but I prefer empanadas.

And you tried to pass yourself
off as a Brazilian.

I am Brazilian!

Okay, but you're definitely not
from São Paulo.

Tai sent me photos
of the accident.

Look how interesting.

Don't you think
there's something missing?

What do you mean?

There's no body.

To my understanding,

he was ejected from the car
and the river swept him away.

He was a driver.
He was used to that road.

I don't get it, Raul.

Why are we looking
into the father

instead of the kid?

I think one thing
is related to the other one.

When we find one of them,
we will find the other one.

I don't know.

Let's go!

You owe me.

What are you saying, Onofre?

I owe you?

Come on!

What are you doing?

It happened between
six and seven in the morning.

Go back.

He disappeared on the platform.

Zoom in.

Here! Go back!

-Calm.
-Go back, damn it!

There. Pause it.

There! What the hell!

It's him. Play it slowly now.

Go back. Go back to that image.

There. Pause it.

We need to follow
that green bag.

Now we need to focus
on that bag.

-Green bag.
-Okay.

Check the exit cameras
to see if they went out.

I don't think
they used this exit.

So mischievous.

-Hi, Waldir.
-We found him.

But we can't see the face
of the adult that's with him.

But they took a train...

Where?

Coral line, to the east.

Coral line, to the east.

Do you know
you sometimes surprise me?

Well done.

At Brás Station,
it splits into three lines.

We'll have to check the cameras
at all the stations.

That's why I pay you well.

The sooner you start,
the sooner you'll finish.

-I know.
-Good luck.

So, you pay Waldir well?

Very well. And you too.

I even pay for your snacks.

Let's do this.

-What?
-What do you mean?

Are you serious?

It will take us all night!

Nights are quieter.

The sooner you start,
the sooner you'll finish.

At least we know
the kid is alive.

Do we?

What about you?
Do you have any children

No, of course not.

If I had a child, do you think
I would have run away

and abandoned him?

So, you ran away from Argentina?

I had to, okay?

I had no choice.
My dad had disappeared.

I had to leave.

Are you sure your father
is the victim in this story?

What do you mean?

Nothing is what it seems.

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

You were run over already.
You're putting yourself at risk.

Listen, Raul. I never
got involved in your life.

Or your daughter's case.

Have I ever told you to give up?

I'm just saying,

when you're deep
into a situation,

you don't get to think clearly.

I think you should mind
your own business.

We'll talk about this later.

I have to leave now.

Did you ask for this?

Give it to me, Dama.

Imagine my surprise

when they told me
the DNA test was ready,

and I hadn't asked for it.

I talked to Marcone.
He didn't know what to say.

It's not his fault.

Of course not.

I didn't want to bother you.

You don't bother me, Raul.

Why did you use, illegally,
my department's resources?

-Did you open it?
-Of course.

Give it to me. I need to know.

Are you ready
for the information inside?

-It's not her.
-No, it's not.

My team checked.
It's a girl two years older.

But I have something for you.

A new detail.

What?

Those bones

are from an old investigation.

I don't have access to the file.

Gusmão was the chief back then.
Do you know him?

Alberto Gusmão?

Yes, he was the chief
when I started here.

He retired soon after.

But he taught me a lot.

Do you have his number?

It's cold.

Tai?

Look what I found.

Who's that for?

Evinha.

We were at Liberdade. I saw it
and thought it was cute.

It is!

-She'll love it.
-You think so?

Waldir.

Waldir!

Waldir!

Calm! Calm!

Breathe.

That's a strange way
to wake me up, Onofre.

Damn it!

-I found it.
-What did you find?

The green bag. Come here.

Where is it?

Green bag.

I can't see. Zoom in.

Answer, Raul.

Raul!

I found him!

I found him!

We found him.

We can't see his face, but...

There's a surprise.
I sent it to you.

It's not what I expected,
but it helps a lot.

Now we know
the man knew what he was doing.

He was hiding his face
on purpose.

Do we know where they got off?

Which station?

Ipiranga.

Go there.

Check the security cameras.
Ask if someone saw them.

Okay.

-Leave me alone!
-I love you.

What happened?

Do you like fried chicken
or you prefer empanadas?

I prefer empanadas.

Excuse me.

We wanted to talk to Everton.

He's not home. He's working.

Can I help you?

We went to Frango Feliz
to talk to Mr. Agenor.

He said there are only
two deliveryman at the shop.

-Yes. Pablo and him.
-Yes.

We talked to Pablo as well.

But we need to talk to Everton.

It's about the jacket he lost.

Again?

It's just a second-hand jacket.

And it's awful.

We told Agenor
we're going to pay for it.

We just wanted to know
where he lost it.

He swears he didn't lose it.

He hangs it from there
as soon as he arrives.

He went to grab it one day,
but it wasn't there.

It's strange it disappeared
in the house.

I searched everywhere,
but I couldn't find it.

He must have left it somewhere
and he doesn't remember.

Do you by any chance
recognize him?

Of course not.
He's wearing a hoodie.

Who is him?

This kid.

How cute.

But I never saw him.

Suzana, do you think Everton

could have left it
somewhere else?

-Where?
-A women's house?

I don't think so

and I don't like
what you're suggesting.

-I'm sorry, but...
-You should leave.

We really need to find
that jacket.

-She didn't mean that.
-You come here and ask me...

Just leave.

-Please.
-Thank you.

We're leaving.

I'm saying
you can't just go around

making accusations
out of nowhere.

Out of nowhere?

You saw her face
when she saw Ayumi's photo.

Because of Keiko, maybe.

Why would she react like that
because of Keiko?

Everyone reacts badly
when they see that woman.

Suzana is hiding something,
Raul. I'm sure.

Just because you're hiding
something, or many things,

doesn't mean everyone else does.

Listen.

I'm just asking for you
to respect my silence.

Is that too much to ask?

Dad?

I found out
something really strange.

There are many g*ns
without serial number

in the production line.

You knew about this. You knew!

-Honey!
-Don't!

So, the accident coincides
with what we were told.

There was a storm.
The curve was dangerous.

The car was found
at the bottom of the cliff.

Half of it was in the river.

There was no body.

Was there any cargo?

No, at least not in the car.

Do you know
if he had some kind of insurance

or if he left something
for someone?

For Tetsuo.
But it was a small amount.

It wouldn't be worth
k*lling someone to get it.

Besides, the insurance company
hasn't concluded the case

because they consider
something is weird.

They're not the only ones
who think that.

What about you?

You're very silent.

What if Suzana, Everton's wife,
had an affair with Takashi?

Keiko found out about it

and ordered someone
to k*ll Takashi.

Right.

What about the jacket?

It was stolen on purpose
to blame both of them

for the kid's kidnapping.

-It makes sense.
-I think you're too tired.

You see conspiracy theories
everywhere.

Okay, I'll go
and talk to Wu again.

There's something else
about the accident.

-Are you coming?
-No.

I'll stay here
with my conspiracy theories.

-Enjoy them.
-Thank you.

Wow!

There's some tension
between you two.

Why do you talk to each other
like that?

Raul is focused on the accident.

And I think the jacket's clue
is much better.

Why?

I don't know.

Feminine intuition.

Suzana had swollen eyes
from crying, you know?

Something happened.

And I think
it has to do with the case.

That's why you suggested
an affair with Takashi.

Exactly.

The way she reacted
when I showed her Ayumi's photo.

First, I thought maybe

Ayumi and Everton,
Suzana's husband,

were having an affair.

I'm sure they weren't.

Why not?

Ayumi doesn't like men.

Really, Tai? How do you know?

l*sbian intuition.

So stuck-up!

Hey, you, with the cap.
How are you?

Do those security cameras work?

Yes? Could I get access
to the images?

We're looking for a g*ng

that rob old people
when they get their pension.

We are after them.
We almost got them.

I'm sure that, if they were here
and I can access those images,

we will finally get them.

Suzana, I came here to apologize
for having suggested

your husband
was having an affair.

It isn't necessary. It's fine.

But you are.

With Ayumi.

Are you mad?

If you want to,
I can call your husband.

No, don't do it.

So, tell me, Suzana.

I don't know what happened.

I'm still trying to understand.

She came a few days ago.

She wanted to say goodbye.

She said we wouldn't see
each other again.

I asked her why,

and she told me
I wouldn't understand.

So,

she kissed me and left.

-What about the jacket?
-I don't know where it is.

After she came,
the jacket disappeared.

Why would she want
that ridiculous jacket?

But she took it.

And? Did you find the kid?

I know you're very worried.

Not yet.

But...

I came here to ask you
some questions about Takashi.

You think both cases
are related, right?

I see.

I can assure you

I have nothing to do

with that man and that child
disappearance.

Why would I believe you?

Takashi was a great employee,
highly recommended.

He was so good

that he sometimes handled
big amounts of money.

I see.

When the car was found,

neither the bag with money
nor Takashi were there.

That's the problem, you see?

Yes. In a normal accident,
you'd find both.

Or the body would be missing,
but the bag with money wouldn't.

Or the money would be missing,

but the body would be found
in the car.

Exactly.

Do me a favor, Raul.

If you find
my excellent employee,

I'd like to talk to him.

-Raul?
-I thought it was your day off.

I got a very good image
with both of them.

Guess who the kid was with?

Takashi, his father.

-How do you know?
-I'm a good detective.

What do you think?

Hey, I have an incoming call.
I'll call you back.

Just a minute.

-Hi.
-I know who stole the jacket.

Ayumi.

How do you know?

Everybody has doubts

about my talent
as an investigator?

-What?
-Takashi faked his death.

Ayumi and him ran away together.

-They're having an affair.
-No.

You're wrong, detective.

At least you're wrong
about their affair.

Tai sent me his address.

Guess where he lives.

Ipiranga?

How the hell do you do it?

Sent me the address.
I'll see you there.

How come
they're not having an affair?

How come Takashi is alive?

I told you the kidnapping
was related to the accident.

And I told you the jacket
was important.

It's there.

Ayumi, we need to talk.

I'm sorry. I'm busy.

Would you rather talk
to the police?

You can call them.

-Wait, Ayumi.
-Let's talk.

Ayumi!

Raul?

That night on the road,

I almost fell down the cliff
when the car skipped.

One more second,

and my life
would have changed completely.

When you realized,

you were carrying
a big sum of money, right?

It was big enough
to start a new life.

I was a unique opportunity.

So, you talked to Ayumi,

and you decided to run away
together, did you?

When Takashi told me
he was alive,

I saw it as an opportunity
to start over.

Far away from Keiko?

My mother is very controlling.

She got worse
after my sister died.

Tetsuo...

He was always afraid
of his own grandma.

And the jacket?
Why did you take it?

It was an impulse.

I saw it and thought,

if Takashi wore a hoodie,
he wouldn't be recognized.

I didn't think Suzana's husband
wore it to go to work.

I was so nervous
with everything going on.

I was saying goodbye
to the woman I love.

So, you are not having
an affair?

We're just friends.

But Ayumi is like a mother
to Tetsuo.

Where are you planning to go?

We want to go to Japan.

If we hadn't come here,

you'd be on your way
to the airport already, right?

Yes.

Tetsuo!

-Mom!
-Not a word, Ayumi.

What are you doing?

Keiko, what are you doing here?

I had people following you.

I didn't think
you were doing your job.

But I was wrong.

Here's your money.

There's extra money
because you found my son-in-law.

I should be happy
because he's alive,

but I learnt that it's a crime
to fake your own death.

Raul, you can't accept
that money.

You can't let her
get away with this.

-But she's right.
-What?

She's right.

She hired us
to find her grandson.

And we found him.

Right?

And Takashi committed a crime.
He did.

But if he goes to jail,

he could try reduce his sentence

turning in the real owners
of the company he worked for.

What are you talking about?

You hid the clues pretty well,
but not well enough.

You got this job for Takashi.

It's not hard to work out
Wu is a good manager,

but there's clearly somebody
above him.

You don't have proof.

I have nothing to prove.

Takashi is the one
that has to prove it

when they put him in jail.

Of course,
he's going to get help.

You wouldn't imagine
how easy it is

to get information
on the Internet

when you work
for the right people.

Are you threatening me?

No, I wouldn't do that, Keiko.

Here's my proposal.

We were never here!

You,

me

or Maria Júlia.

We'll let them go.

Tetsuo?

He's my grandson!

Would you like him to choose
who he wants to be with?

You know? I thought for a second
you would turn both of them in.

But after what you did,

you have a new enemy
for the rest of your life.

Another one?

Shall we have a drink?

Everyone is going out
for drinks.

Don't you want to go?

Don't you want
to drink one here?

Maybe next time.

Next time.

If I had known you'd exaggerate,
I'd have never offered you some.

It's over.

Please, dad.
Don't you ever do that again.

Never, dad!

Go and sit there. Go.

Be careful, dad.

Listen.

You know I don't have
much money to pay you.

Don't worry.

You can pay me with candies
from the store.

You can take as many candies
as you want.

I was thinking about paying you
in a different way.

Everyone is asking why I have
this small candy shop.

I inherited it from my dad,
who inherited it from his dad.

It used to be a big business,
you know?

Many employees.

We sold candies
around the country.

But today it's just me
and my candy shop.

And there is
this big empty space.

What do you think?

I'm not following you.

I know you work
in your car, Raul.

You live in there too.
I saw you.

Okay?

It's not like that, Edith.

My car is my moving base.

I know what it is like
to be broke.

I also know...

how important it is
when someone gives us a hand

and believes in you.

Edith...

-No.
-No!

Don't say anything.
Besides, I don't use this space.

So...

And it would be great
to have company.

This is...

I don't know what to say.

I could hire a whole team
to work with me here.

There's a shower at the back.
You can also live here.

But tell me something first.

What?

This agency of yours,

does it have a name?

Thank you. Thank you very much.

-Alberto.
-Raul.

Four grandchildren, right?

Yes, four,

but the fifth is on their way.

That's great.

Tell me, Alberto.
What do you have for me?

Mirtes De Oliveira.
70 years old.

Batatinha's ex-wife.

Do you remember him?

He was a dangerous criminal.

After his death,
she took over his business.

He's been in jail three times.

They must have offered her
an agreement.

She dropped everything.

She went to work in charity.

To Pari.

I think she wanted
to redeem herself a little bit.

She did bad things in her life.

She used to be
that g*ng's leader.
