SABRINA: LUNA, SHE IS DEAD!

SABRINA: LUNA, WHERE ARE YOU?

SABRINA: PICK UP, THIS IS SERIOUS!

SABRINA: LUNA!

Humanity would get along better
if everybody peed sitting down.

You're amazing.

-The cover for my pan.
-What did you say?

Nothing. Nothing.

SABRINA:
FOR GOD'S SAKE, PICK UP THE PHONE!

Your phone keeps ringing over there.

It's either telemarketing
or the pet cemetery,

they won't leave me alone,
it doesn't make sense,

cemeteries are supposed
to give you peace.

What happened?

She's dead.

-Of old age.
-Who? Your grandma?

No, of course not.

-Mrs. Astrid, my landlord.
-That's a relief.

I mean, that's bad.
Were you and Astrid close?

We met once.

This apartment was my only chance
to live within the city.

Without it, I'd have to go back

-to my grandma's.
-No, you won't.

You can stay in my camp.

Now that you're with a gypsy,
go all the way.

Where am I going to find
another senile landlord

that only charges rent four times a year?

-It's over for me.
-For us, it's just the beginning.

Actually, today I'm cooking for you
and I want to show you something.

Show me now, I'm sad now.

No, it's important. It's worth the wait.

SERENADES
HIRE NOW FOR 100 REALS

-Do you have extra money?
-I want to celebrate having a boyfriend.

From experience, if I were you,
I'd wait to see what happens.

-You're dating a gypsy now?
-Vini is different.

He is not a misogynist as I feared.
He brought it up himself.

Did you know his love is infinite?
He even tattooed that phrase.

Let's see if his "infinite love"
is willing to travel,

because with our salary,
we'll have to move to Cubatao.

His love goes up the hills,
then down the hills,

then up the hills again.

Let's be optimistic.
Maybe the landlord's grandson is nice.

Nice? He sent a text message
to charge the rent from the hospital.

His grandma was still warm.

There's a nice apartment here,

there's only smoke
when the wind blows from the southwest.

-And when does that happen?
-Every day.

No, I refuse to leave downtown.
I want to be Bia's neighbor.

-I'm not leaving.
-We need money!

I need to survive until tonight.

Do you think he'll give me
a commitment ring?

Maybe not, maybe a wooden ring
or a biodegradable ring.

Luna, wake up!
We have one week to pay the rent!

Fine. I will ask for a raise.

-You're still on the trial period.
-And you're too pessimistic!

I'll ask my boss for a raise.
You can talk to Micaela, sell an NFT.

And that's it, we can pay the rent,
I have a boyfriend, everything's fine.

-Can you lend me a shirt?
-I hate when you fall in love.

Where's that yellow, flowery shirt?

Bia has it.

Bye.

Bia.

I know your password!

Bia?

Bia?

Two hundred and forty-five.

There are 245 memes
about my defeat so far.

I'm being laughed at in Liechtenstein,
I didn't even know that country existed.

It's a principality on the alps.
I heard people launder money there.

Focus on the problem. On my disgrace.

Bia, that's enough.

Look.

It's time to clear your head.

No. The mockery has no limits.
The mockery is infinite.

When you're swallowed by the mockery,
it consumes you, and you're powerless.

Right now, they may be coming to my home,
to take more photos of me

so they can make more memes!
Infinite memes!

Bia, they're just memes.

Do you still have Sabrina's
flowery yellow shirt?

You don't get it, Luna!

Nowadays, memes get presidents elected.

I don't know if you know this.

That's it, I'm going to live
in the woods for a while.

Really? Who is going to help you there?
The Curupira?

I have my own means.

Where did you get that?
I always wanted one.

This is a lighter.
Lighters can be very versatile.

Bia?

My God, what are you doing here?

-Haven't you read our messages?
-We saw 247 memes.

-We came to help you as a team.
-We can deal with it collectively.

Here.

We're a team.

-Now you'll be happy.
-It's going to be amazing.

He got a raise
and an office like Dante's.

You might be next!

-Really?
-Of course not. Carlos just got fired.

Ours is the most stable sector
here in the JournAW.

You're part of it,
you should be proud, Clara.

Tell me, what do you want?

Well...

I need a raise.

-Is that a yes or a no?
-It's obviously a "no." Right?

But I have an opportunity for you.

A freelance job.

You can read your gypsy cards
to a rich person.

That seems like more work.

Not necessarily.

If using your cards

you could get a scoop,

wouldn't it be nice
to do some actual investigative work?

Yes, of course. Who do I have to k*ll?

-Alexia?
-It looks like she is LeLuxe's new face.

That company claims they do not test

their very expensive
beauty products on animals.

Isn't that a good thing?

If it were true, it would be bad.

Good news don't sell.

My God, this is horrible.

I can already see the headlines:

"UNICEF's Brazilian Ambassador

Uses Beauty Products
That Hurt Cute Defenseless Puppies."

You will confirm
if she really is LeLuxe's new face,

and I will do the rest. Go on.

-We're leaving in five minutes.
-You're going out?

I was going back to my table
and I saw you organizing your stuff.

Sure. Yes, we're going out.

I mean, as soon as Vinicius
stops sucking up to the Board's kid.

He prefers to do celebrity gossip
and the horoscope than actual news.

-Nothing personal.
-It's never personal, right?

So, how do you feel
about going back home?

I'm excited.

I like being on the streets
and interviewing people, though.

Actually, I meant Alexia's home.

I read the cards for her the other day,

and they said that the love of her life
would come back home.

That same night,
I saw you two leaving together.

-You think I'm making this up.
-No, I don't.

I still think those cards are nonsense,

but this time, they're right.

Alexia's love came back to her.

What? What's wrong?

MacGuffin. It's our dog's name.

I mean, it's her dog now,
she got it in the divorce.

Are you jealous?

I was just thinking
if you could give me her number,

I need some extra cash,
maybe I can read the cards for her again.

-Weird. A message.
-That's a low blow.

I just sent it to you.

Dante!

You hired a very handsome guy.

He's going to be the new internet crush.

-Can we do a meeting?
-Sure, talk to my secretary.

-No, right now. To the meeting room.
-But I was just...

You are alone in this, alright?

You need to show empathy to these people,
they are refugees.

This is not like your usual interviews.
Please help him.

-Are you saying I lack empathy?
-I'm saying this is actual journalism,

it's not like your YouTube videos.

That pedantic son of a b*tch.

I think he meant
that you have a different experience.

Don't try to defend
Mr. I-Went-To-w*r, alright?

Excuse me.

I really like this work,

but I want to show you other ideas.

-This one...
-Micaela.

Just a second.

Micaela, I really need to sell something.

-My rent's gone up, I mean...
-I am sorry.

It must be hard,
paying for a place to live.

Can't your family help you?

That's right, I'm sorry,
I forgot, you don't have a family.

So, maybe you could
pay me in advance for some works.

-I have some new projects...
-Sabrina, remember what we said?

We need to be away
from each other for a month.

The future
of our relationship depends on it.

Wait, so you're not even showing
my work to anyone?

How could I separate you from your art?

Your personal
from your professional side?

You're an artist,

these two sides
are mixed together in your work.

In your body, in your mind.

No. I can't. I can't.

You can't either.

Please, let's stay away
from each other for a month, alright?

-What is your question?
-I want to know how long will it take

for people to understand
that climate change is happening.

In COB 26, the UNICEF people told me
this was the issue of the decade.

We should check with the cards.

At least that's what the Dalai
told me over dinner.

Alright.

The Snake,

the Moon,

and the Clover.

The reports are right,

but she is making the wrong questions.

She should be asking
who is trying to destroy her.

I only bring disgrace.

What do you see?

The reports are right, and...

Alexia, we have LeLuxe's
photoshoot options. Shall we?

Yes.

So it's true?

You're the face of LeLuxe's new campaign?

Yes, and to be honest,
they've insisted for years,

but I've only accepted it now.

Really?

Yes.

Because they finally have
a cruelty-free line,

they don't test on animals anymore.

It's vegan.

These colors are perfect
for darker skins.

-I think it is our duty to help them.
-You look perfect.

-This one?
-I think so.

-Alexia, now the puppies.
-The puppies!

Come to Mommy. Who's a good boy?

Who is Mama's boy?

-Who's a good boy?
-I need you to sign

a nondisclosure agreement.

Luna doesn't have to.
We trust her discretion, right?

-Don't we?
-Alexia, I have to go.

-Call me if you need anything.
-Thank you.

IT'S ALL TRUE, SHE IS LELUXURY'S NEW FACE

BUT CLARICE, I...

Luna, Luna.

Can you tell Dante
that MacGuffin is alright?

PENALTY CHARGE NOTICE
INDECENT EXPOSURE

Micaela!

Stupid old building!

No power, peeling paint on the walls,

the only thing missing are the ghosts.

What is that?

Mrs. Dulce, have you been hearing
strange noises coming from my apartment?

I knew it!

It was a ghost, Mr. Geraldo.

Then, we saw a strange stain
on Luna's bedroom wall.

-Mother of God.
-Strange things began to happen

-to my paintings.
-We must speak to the landlord.

One, two, three.

An airplane without wings
A fireplace without embers

That's who I am without you

Soccer without a football
Tweety without Sylvester

That's who I am without you

Why must it be like this?

When my desire has no end?

Vini, I love you all the time
A thousand loudspeakers

Can't speak on my behalf

Luna.

Can you come up? We need to talk.

You can't ask for your money back.

You know I can't hear this song.
It goes against everything I believe in.

You don't believe Tweety
needs Sylvester the Cat?

-Have you seen an airplane without wings?
-It talks about couples together.

-You know I don't believe any of it.
-I do?

Gypsy forced marriages taught me
that monogamy is a prison.

I'm an activist for polyamory, Luna.
I've been like this from the beginning.

You are?

TWO YEARS EARLIER, IN COLLEGE

DON'T CHEAT, BE POLYAMOROUS

Monogamy is a violence
against human affection.

To love!

Here's the thing.

From now on,
I want you to see me as your date.

-My "date"?
-Your date.

It's the easiest label
in the industrial monogamy machine.

VINI'S RULEBOOK

"Vini's Rulebook"?

"For non-monogamous relationships."

-You haven't gone to the woods yet?
-At night it's easier to escape.

Don't you think this is a bit...?

-Come to my apartment.
-No, no.

Luna, it must be the trolls.

But the trolls...
The trolls can't live in the woods.

I can.

I can.

My cousin Didinho
is going to take care of Madonna.

Sabrina?

My God, please help us.

Hail Mary full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.

So this is your plan to lower the rent?
Making up a ghost story?

I'm a genius,
the whole building is scared.

You know this won't stop them
from kicking us out, right?

Then good luck finding a new tenant.

Mrs. Dulce told the whole building
that our apartment is haunted.

Can you imagine us leaving
because of the ghosts?

Who would have imagined
that this could work?

This is the second good news
in my horrible day.

-What happened?
-"Clause seven, paragraph one:

Both parties agree that this relationship
must respect nature,

and that the shower must be turned off
while we are soaping ourselves."

What is that?

"Vini's Rulebook
For Non-Monogamous Relationships."

I have nothing
against open relationships,

but imagine my shock when I found out
that I may not be the only one.

Imagine finding out
that the Earth is round.

Everybody knows that Vini
is against monogamy,

-ever since we met him.
-Who's everybody?

-It's in his channel!
-His channel?

-Have you been stalking him?
-No, I only listened to him.

Well, if Vini doesn't mind that,

then I can date him
and Dante at the same time.

After what I did,
Dante's gonna hate me tomorrow.

Luna, what have you done?

Luna.

I'm sorry to show up this late,

but I had to do this.

Come in.

A reading is never complete
if you don't ask about your career.

But Luna, my career is fine.

Are you sure about that?

Is it really?

-What do you mean?
-Ask me a question.

Fine. My work tomorrow.
Is it going to be alright?

The Fox.

The Bear.

The Rat.

I may seem sweet,

but I never speak the truth.

-Our world is full of predators.
-And we gnaw at everything you have.

The cards never lie.

This company isn't being honest with you.

ALEXIA LEAVES LE LUXURY BRAND

You did this, didn't you?

No, I only read her the cards.

You told me yourself
that I'm a fortune teller,

not a journalist.

But I must thank you,
this job helped me a lot.

I can pay the rent now.

The legal department
is going to contact you.

From now on,
you only read cards for the JournAW.

You can go.

Thank you.

Is that the last one?

Goodbye.

Action.

Mr. Neto, I am so scared.

Your tenants
will have to deal with this every night,

Mr. Neto, please! Mr. Neto!

Help me, please.

Let's keep the same price for now.

We can talk about this

at the end of the year.

Sabrina,
I can't believe the landlord's grandson

has lowered our rent
and is going to pay for our internet.

I had a little help from Zé.

He was only convinced when I told him

that you felt a presence
in that stain in your room.

You don't think that thing
looks like a person?

No, I made that up. But who knows.

This building is old.

Right now, the rent is worth it,
even if there was an actual ghost.

I guess we can change that lightbulb now.

But I did change it earlier.

Sabrina.

Bia!

I thought she wouldn't survive
one single night in the woods.

-Bia was a Girl Scout. How can I help?
-What are you doing here?

I'm taking care of Madonna.

-What are you doing here?
-I live here.

Bia told me she had a friend named Luna,
but she told me Luna was a journalist,

so I guess there was a misunderstanding.

So you're Didinho, the cousin she hates

but calls when she needs someone
to take care of Madonna.

I didn't know that.

Well, congratulations,
you got your first scoop.

You just have to know where to look.

And the right place is this hallway.

-This is where you get information from.
-My house is haunted.

-I'm still shaking.
-Let me see.

The hallway seems safer.

Why don't you come in?
It's much safer here.
