BRASÍLIA NEWS

DANIEL SOH, THE PRINCE OF HEARTACHE,

HAS A MEGA CONCERT IN GOIÂNIA

[upbeat music playing]

[on radio] This is Alex Fernão

playing nothing but hits for you.

Today is June 13th, Saint Anthony's Day,

and a day to celebrate love

here in Goiânia, the city of music.

Because we all know who's coming, right?

Performing right here

live on stage in concert tonight,

the one and only, Daniel Soh!

I'm sure a lot of you are as

excited as I am, so to set the mood,

here's one of the most requested songs

ever recorded by the Prince of Heartache

[on radio] "Loving You from Afar."

[soft music playing on radio]

[in Portuguese on radio]

There were no goodbyes

- [humming along]

- No farewells

Only longing for those who stay

- [singing along]

- My heart

Turned into an island

[continues on radio]

Waiting for a visit

[laughs]

I'm saving my hugs for you

And you can live inside them

And I will be loving you from afar

- Wishing you were near, near, near

- [door opens and closes]

- [singing along]

- And I will be loving you from afar

Wishing you were near

[in English] Tadeu, you're the only person

I know who still listens to the radio.

[laughing]

[radio turns off]

Why did you do that?

I like your version of that song better.

Ah!

Just that one?

- [soft romantic music playing]

- All of them.

You know that our bus

doesn't leave till this evening, right?

We should really

go over the set list for tonight.

- The whole thing?

- The whole thing. Song by song.

[in Portuguese]

And I will be loving you from afar

Wishing you were near

[tuts in English] Not that pocket!

- Have you got a secret?

- Well, everyone's got secrets, right?

[soft rock music playing]

[girl in Portuguese]

I may have lost you

And I won't forgive myself for that

It hurts to carry on

And never have you again

I don't know how not to love

How not to cry

I don't know if I can ever find myself

I don't know

If life is worth living

If I can still wish

I don't know if it's possible not to

Suffer

[in English] So? What do you think?

It reminds me of so many things.

All of the people I've hurt.

It's a plea for forgiveness.

Right?

Yeah.

Hang on a minute.

César, I just met

an incredible songwriter.

She played me a song

that's gonna be a hit.

Call me back.

That song, you were right.

It's just what I was looking for.

- It's perfect.

- [phone chiming]

- Hold on.

- Okay.

César.

Listen, you've gotta get Ana Lígia

to put this song on the list.

She's gonna love it.

No, I mean it, man.

It's perfect, the music,

the lyrics, the whole thing.

I'll introduce her to you. See you there.

Listen, I have a concert

tonight in Goiânia.

I'm afraid there's

no room for you on my jet.

But can you find a way to get there?

- Yeah.

- Good.

Here's two backstage passes.

Come see me after the show

and I'll introduce you to my managers.

If this works out,

how much are we actually talking about?

As far as money goes,

my managers handle all that.

But don't worry, they'll look after you.

You'll be well paid.

You mean I'll get paid?

You can name your price,

but don't tell 'em I told you that.

I thought I was gonna be the one

paying you to sing the song!

[laughing] You're funny, kid.

Here I was thinking you were

just some fan I had to indulge.

How'd you even manage to get in here?

Oh, I know people.

You realize this song's

gonna change your whole life?

[sighs] I hope.

[hopeful music playing]

Take down my number.

Six-one, nine-seven, four-two-eight,

seven-two-three.

[girl] Got it.

So what was that?

Another one of your fans or are you

gonna try a different excuse this time?

- She's a songwriter.

- Oh, don't give me that bull.

You gave her your number.

You know what that leads to.

- I know what that leads to.

- Come on! She was only here to

- Did it work?

- It worked!

[indistinct arguing in background]

Now I just have to find a way

to get to his concert in Goiânia.

Just take the bus, silly!

There's one every half hour.

I used to have a boyfriend there.

The guys in Goiânia

are so incredibly cute.

- It's ridiculous. You'll love it.

- [laughing]

Go for it!

- [arguing continues in background]

- [girl] Here.

Sheesh!

- [Daniel] You have to!

- [woman] I don't have to do anything!

- I've had it with you!

- [Daniel] I don't believe this!

Jessica! Jessica, come back!

[Daniel] God!

[expectant music playing]

DANIEL SOH

ARENA CONCER

[indistinct announcements on PA]

- [woman] Ready?

- [Tadeu laughs] Okay! Okay, take it!

[woman] Smile! There.

We have to start posting everything

now that we've got a band, you know?

We don't have a band yet.

Who knows if these kids'll work out?

It's only our fourth gig.

- What's funny?

- I love it that you call them "kids."

- What are you, then?

- I'm a grown-up.

No. No, you're my baby, right?

Come on.

- [Tadeu] You're happy, aren't you?

- Yeah.

I know, 'cause you got that

twinkly look in your eyes.

[woman scoffs]

[Tadeu] You think they're even here yet?

[woman] See? I told you that

taking the bus was a terrible idea.

[Tadeu] Hey, calm down, it'll be fine.

- There! There's Nelton.

- [woman] Hey, there!

Blessings!

- Hey, man!

- [woman] Good to see you.

You been waiting long, man?

- Since the time we said.

- And Valdo?

Your brother didn't come with you?

We're only half brothers.

And, no, he didn't.

LOCKERS

- Here.

- [indistinct announcements on PA]

[saxophone music playing faintly]

Thanks.

Come on, Tereza, why does he

even have to know where I am anyway?

Relax. As soon as the concert's over,

I'll come back to Brasília.

Come on, I am 18 now.

[intriguing music playing]

[saxophone music continues]

[phone ringing]

[Valdo] Hello?

Yeah!

What about?

Whatever.

[intriguing music playing]

[whistling]

It's gonna leave without us.

We better get on board.

[woman] Yeah, I guess so.

- [Tadeu] Ah, finally!

- [woman] Oh, unbelievable!

- [Tadeu] Glad you could make it.

- [woman] Where have you been?

- Ha! Sorry.

- We were worried, man.

[Valdo] I know, I know, I'm sorry.

Me and this girl

had something we had to work out.

- [Nelton] Girl?

- Yeah.

- Sure.

- Mmm-hmm.

[Nelton] We almost missed the bus.

- Yeah, but we didn't, did we?

- f*ck you, Valdo!

- What are you talking about?

- Watch the language!

- You never talk to anyone that way but me.

- That's 'cause no one else deserves it!

- I'm here, aren't I?

- [Tadeu] Hey, come on! Knock it off.

You gotta save some of that for the show.

- Get here on time next time.

- [woman] Okay.

[Valdo] What's wrong with you?

- [Tadeu] Come on.

- Gettin' all intense over nothin'.

Here. Here's all of our tickets. Thanks.

DANIEL SOH

"LOVING YOU FROM AFAR"

[melodic rock music playing]

[César] Yeah, the whole tour's sold out.

Twenty-two concerts a month,

more than 200 a year.

- [phone chiming]

- Go on! You should print that!

Because right now,

Daniel is number one everywhere.

[Ana] Hello?

- We can take the photo after the show.

- [Ana] Yeah.

- But I want the cover.

- [Ana] Wait, are you sure?

[César] I'm counting on it, okay?

- Yeah, she's right here. Right, I will.

- [Ana sighs]

[César] Goodbye. Yeah. Man

I wish it was that simple,

but you know it's not.

- Yeah, I'll tell him.

- [César] What is it? Daniel again?

- Is it about that new songwriter he found?

- No, it's not.

Without him,

there's nothing more we can do.

- Guys, we can't hold off much longer.

- Wait, you mean Daniel's not here?

- When did his plane take off?

- He never got on the plane.

- Why is he not coming?

- He's not coming because Jéssica left him.

That's why.

Because of a girlfriend,

he's gonna miss his own show?

He's going through

an emotional crisis, César.

I'm going through an emotional crisis!

I want to hear him say to my face

that he's willing to ruin my life,

your life, his life, and everyone else's,

just because some girlfriend

went and cheated on him?

- I mean, come on!

- You really think it's 'cause she cheated?

- Yeah!

- She didn't cheat on him, César.

It was Daniel who cheated on her

in front of the whole freakin' world.

Yeah, and she loved it.

Oh, what? You're just gonna leave now?

[phone ringing]

Oh, it's him.

Just breathe!

[César on phone] I love you, man,

you know that.

But I swear, I'm going to k*ll you

if you don't get on that f*cking plane.

Come on, man! It's just a woman!

You'll find another one!

I'll find one for you!

Daniel, no woman on earth

is more important than your career.

You're one to talk, César Marcolo.

Where would you be without Ana Lígia?

- Daniel, the plane! Get on it!

- [line drops]

[somber music playing]

[phone chimes]

Jéssica, darling, it's Ana Lígia.

Look, I just wanted to congratulate you

on finally leaving Daniel.

It doesn't matter that you're

walking away empty-handed,

what matters

is that you did the right thing.

[kisses] I'm here for you.

Call me anytime.

[line drops]

[phone ringing]

Jéssica!

I'm at my wits' end.

He's on the way right now.

Jéssica and he made up

and he's on the plane.

[César] Kriss, Edgar.

Daniel's on his way.

It was some stupid thing with

his girlfriend, but I fixed it. Let's go.

I'll, uh, handle the press.

Why don't you find Rafael and

get him out here, we've got a lot to do.

[indistinct chatter]

[crowd clapping]

[guitar playing faintly]

[crowd cheering]

[in Portuguese]

Come with malice and desire

Come and touch me

I want it today

And you know that I like it

[vocalizing]

Bang!

My eyes left a bullseye on you

I'mma make it happen

Gotta be my way

When and how we come close

Tell me if you're gonna be a man

I'm the type to always take command

If you really want this

You cannot be late

Hesitate

I can dominate you

Turn your head around

I wanna see you, feel you

I know how to shock you

No one does it like I do

And I won't stop

I'm gonna tease you, baby

Come with malice and desire

Come and touch me

I want it today

And you know that I like it

[both vocalizing]

[in English] Okay, that's enough, you two.

You can't do that here, I'm sorry.

Why not, man? It's a public space.

No, it's not.

This is the parking lot of the arena.

Well, it's a state-owned arena, right?

[man] Rented out for a private event.

Look, you either go play somewhere else

or I'll have to physically remove you.

Hey, come on. People have to pay hundreds

to get inside there to see that show.

Why can't these people enjoy

some music for a little bit of change?

[man] You're right.

People bought tickets to see this show.

And they have to go through this area

to get in to see it.

If you have a ticket, you can stay.

If not, you have to leave.

- Come on, let's go.

- I'm not going anywhere.

- All right.

- [girl] Hang on, wait.

Wait, look. She's with me.

[man sighs]

Here.

- Your share.

- Ah, pfft.

- Don't be ridiculous!

- Go on!

You sang too, you earned it.

Go on.

My first gig.

- [both laughing]

- [romantic music playing]

[Tadeu] This is us.

- Thank you.

- [woman] Make sure you've got everything.

- [Valdo] It's the middle of nowhere.

- [Tadeu] Where's Patrício?

- [Nelton] You sure this is right?

- [Tadeu] Come on, Valdo.

[woman] He's coming.

[Tadeu] Valdo, let's go!

- [Valdo] What is this place?

- [woman] It's strange, isn't it?

[Valdo] You can say that again.

So where's Patrício, then, huh?

Are we even in the right spot, dude?

[Nelton] Yeah, look at this.

The ranch is eight kilometers from here.

- [woman] This must be the place, right?

- [Tadeu] You know what?

Let's all try splitting up

and looking for him.

Look for a bus that says "Villi's Ranch."

[Valdo] Got it.

- [Tadeu] Okay?

- Well, I'll, uh, go look over this way.

[Tadeu] All right.

This place is weird,

but that barbecue smells nice!

It smells really good.

Nice set up they've got.

- [both] Good evening.

- [man] Hey.

Oh, look, there's the bus.

- [woman] Ah, there he is!

- [Tadeu] Oh, look, he found the meat.

- [laughing] Hey, stud! What's up?

- Hey, Tadeu!

My stud days are over.

I'm a married man now.

- [Tadeu] Oh, yeah.

- [woman] Patrício.

[Patrício laughs] Hey, how are you?

- I'm fine. Nice bus. Yeah.

- You like it?

Stars always get the full VIP treatment

when they play Villi's Ranch.

- You're, like, the ranch's driver now?

- I'm not a driver.

- I'm the chauffeur for the talent!

- [woman] Ah, I see!

It's one of the perks

of marrying Villi's daughter.

- [Valdo] Hey, there you are!

- Hey, Valdo!

- Good to see you!

- [Valdo] Jeez, I was looking everywhere.

- So that's the bus?

- That's it.

- Ah?

- Thing's a relic, isn't it?

- [woman] No, it's authentic.

- What are you talking about?

- It's vintage.

- Hey, be nice.

- [Valdo] Yeah? You like it?

- I'm thinking of buying this bus.

[phone chimes]

Huh?

[woman] Patrício, for real?

Yeah, but I'll need,

like, two years to pay it off.

[Tadeu] At least we have a bus.

[Nelton] Guys, guys, check this out!

- I just saw it on Twitter.

- [woman] What is it?

This.

- [crowd cheering]

- [woman] Whoa!

Hey, let's get a selfie.

- What's your Instagram?

- I don't have one.

Seriously? Where are you from?

[phone chiming repeatedly]

What?

- [girl] What is it?

- Oh, my God, it's Daniel.

He's dead.

[somber music playing]

Roberta, I have to find his managers.

- Come on! Come on!

- But, why?

[girl] Just come on! Quick, quick!

[reporter on TV] It has now been confirmed

that the private plane

carrying country singer Daniel Soh

has crashed for reasons unknown

outside the city of Goiânia.

On board the aircraft

in addition to the young singer

were his girlfriend and the pilot.

The official report now from the

investigators at the scene of the crash

is that there were no survivors.

Daniel Soh was beloved everywhere

he went in this country by everyone.

Daniel Soh was the Prince of Heartbreak.

[indistinct sobbing]

He leaves behind

an arena packed with fans,

waiting for an incredible performance

that will never happen.

[sighs] It hurts.

As he himself used to say,

"This hurts too much."

His girlfriend was with him.

No one survived.

Jeez, it's a tragedy, bro.

- [indistinct sobbing continues]

- [Patrício] All right.

Yeah.

What's the word?

I spoke to Villi just now,

he thinks we should cancel.

He doesn't think it would be appropriate.

He said that maybe down the road

he could fit us into the schedule.

Some other night.

[Tadeu] Okay, so

- What do we do now?

- [Valdo] I guess we go back to Goiânia.

[Patrício] Yeah.

Look, guys, we just have to regroup and

try again another time.

We can't leave it like this.

Look at these people. They loved Daniel.

We came to play some music.

So that's what we should do.

- [reporters clamoring]

- [Cesár] Not now.

- [clamoring continues]

- [Cesár] Come on, have some respect.

[clamoring continues]

[somber music continues]

[woman] It was just a short trip.

A flight on the way to a concert.

A lot of our idols have died that way.

But his voice will always be heard.

His smile, it will always be remembered.

You will always, always be loved.

Daniel,

this is for you and for all the artists

who have left us too soon.

[playing bittersweet music]

[in Portuguese] There were no goodbyes

No farewells

Only longing to those who stay

My heart

Turned into an island

Waiting for a visit

I'm saving my hugs for you

And you can live inside them

I will be loving you from afar

Wishing you were near, near, near

I will be loving you from afar

Wishing you were near, near, near

Near just like the sand and the sea

- And feel you, and love you

- [music continues loudly]

[crowd cheering]

I will be loving you from afar

Wishing you were near, near, near

I will be loving you from afar

Wishing you were near, near, near

Near just like the sand and the sea

To see you, to feel you, to love you

In the bliss of your lips

I will be set free

To kiss you, to kiss you

To kiss you

There were no goodbyes

No farewells

[all cheering]

[crowd chanting in English]

Daniel Soh! Daniel Soh!

[chanting continues] Daniel Soh!

Daniel Soh!

Daniel Soh!

Daniel Soh!

- [cheering fades]

- [somber music playing]

I LOVE YOU

DANIEL SOH FOREVER

DANIEL'S FAVORITE

When I arrived in this city, it seemed

like the whole place was made of music.

Now, it's all so silent.

But there's music in silence too.

What was with you and Daniel?

It's obvious that

you're more than just a fan.

Ah, we barely knew each other.

But he made me feel like this dream

I've always had could really happen.

I gotta get to the bus station.

It's late.

- Do you even have a ticket?

- No.

If you've never drunk that stuff before,

trust me,

you're gonna want to sleep it off

before you make any big decisions.

Come on.

- You can stay with me.

- Stay here?

Yeah.

For a day or two.

I can be the second person

to help you with your dream.

- [laughs]

- What do you say?

I have a bed.

And a hammock as well.

Your choice.

My place isn't big,

but it's big enough for my Little Eva.

- [laughing]

- [Eva] Oh, no.

How does it go?

- [in Portuguese] My Little Eva

- [laughing]

Our love on the last spaceship

Beyond infinity I will fly

Just you and I

- And flying high

- Eva!

- Hold me for just one moment

- Eva!

Cover me with your body and give me

- The strength to live

- To live

[Eva laughing]

- My Little Eva

- Eva

[in English] That was really good!

Come with me.

Come on.

- Come on!

- Okay, okay.

- [both laughing]

- [Roberta] Run!

[sweet music playing]

CUCKOLD'S BAR

- Is that for Daniel?

- Yeah.

Ah, the city is totally deserted.

It's weird how somebody dying

can just shut everything down.

Yeah.

You know, he used to hitch rides

on the back of tomato trucks

so he could perform in town.

A lot of times he'd sing

in exchange for a plate of food.

Look how far he got.

Mansion, fancy car.

[chuckles] Tour bus with his name on it.

That's music.

Music has power.

[Valdo] I took a chance coming here.

I thought you'd be closed.

No, not us.

Like Daniel used to say

"Cuckold's, you go to drink there

because it's the kind of place

where you can enjoy your suffering.

- Here's to Daniel.

- To Daniel.

You had a thing for a while, right?

- Okay, let's hear it!

- It's none of your concern. [laughs]

So, I could really use a place to stay.

Can I get my old room again?

No, it's rented. New waiter's in there.

See? Cute, isn't he?

But I told you I'd only

be away for a few days.

And what about my customers?

Last time, you said two days,

and it became a month.

When it's not a woman, it's music.

When it's not music, it's a woman.

For him, it's a steady job.

For you, it was a side job.

You'll manage.

How about your room?

I'll stand still.

You know my rule, I'm a one-time girl.

Finding a place to spend the night

was never a problem for you.

All right,

I'm off.

You don't know what you're missing.

[in Portuguese] Near, near

- [in English] It's me!

- [key rattling]

Mom, it's me, can you open the door?

Mom?

[footsteps approach]

[lock rattles]

[Nelton] Hi.

What happened? My key's not working.

Can you let me in?

We discussed this.

Hey, come on! Just because I went

to play with the band

I warned you not to go, didn't I?

And with Valdo, too. Oh, good Lord.

What did I do wrong? You were supposed

to be an engineer, a doctor

- I want to play music!

- Why don't you play in church then?

- We've talked about this.

- Exactly, we've talked about this.

Over and over. There's no future in music.

Look at that Daniel Soh,

where did it get him, huh?

- He's dead.

- My God, Ma.

- That's what music gets you.

- Come on.

- You can stay out there.

- At least let me get my things.

- Ma!

- You stay out there and do some thinking!

Can I maybe have my bike?

Please?

So, where do I go?

Anyone home?

Sônia, my love, it's me.

Patrício, what are you doing here?

Jesus, Sônia, what do you mean?

I live here.

- What are you whispering for, huh?

- I don't want to wake the neighbor.

You're supposed to be out at the ranch,

aren't you?

Well, yeah.

- Look, I brought you something.

- [Sônia laughs nervously]

- Wait, haven't you heard?

- Heard about what?

Daniel Soh.

What about him?

He's dead.

[Sônia] Oh, my God!

Papa must be a wreck,

he was a really big fan of Daniel's.

I thought you might be sad about it,

that's why I brought you some pamonha.

I love pamonha. Come on, let's go outside.

We can eat it under the stars

and fool around. [laughs]

Sônia, what are you talking about?

Let's eat it here.

Can't we fool around in here just as well?

Forget about the pamonha, Patrício.

We haven't done it outside in a long time.

Nah, I'm fine right here.

Huh.

What's all this?

Two glasses?

Oh, sweetie, you know what I'm like.

I was just having some wine

and when I opened a new bottle

I used a fresh glass.

[Patrício] Mmm-hmm.

- I do the dishes anyway.

- [toilet flushing]

- [Sônia] Was that outside?

- I don't know.

- [Sônia nervously] I think it was.

- Uh-huh.

[man] Sônia,

is everything okay down there?

Patrício! Wait, calm down! I can explain!

- Don't bother, Sônia.

- Patrício!

Wait, listen to me. Listen,

it's not what you're thinking, Patrício.

Patrício, come on, don't do this!

Come back inside!

Patrício, where are you going?

Patrício!

Stop it, come back! Patrício!

Patrício!

That's my father's bus, you know!

I'll tell him you stole it!

That's fine! You can tell him about

the man in your room while you're at it!

- Patrício, wait!

- Get out of the way!

Stop! Let's talk this out!

Patrício, come back!

I've been cucked.

[somber music playing]

DANIEL SOH

THE MOST PLAYED SONGS IN GOIÁS

- [exhales heavily]

- [somber music playing]

Sorry, I couldn't get to sleep.

Same.

[sighs]

You know, it's weird.

I'm totally sad, but

despite what happened to Daniel,

I'm really happy about the band.

We felt like a real band

out there tonight.

We were talking to each other

with our eyes.

It felt good.

What's wrong?

Just

Sometimes I think my time's up.

Daniel Soh was at his peak.

He was still young, but it had taken him

ten years to get there.

I've been at it since I first left home.

Always thinking that my big break

is just around the corner.

It never is.

[chuckling]

Deusa, you're only 25.

You've got plenty of time left.

But there are so many 18-year-olds

popping up on the internet.

Come here.

Get up.

[grunts] Come on.

You're gorgeous,

you're talented,

charismatic.

What else?

A little crazy.

You're the best singer I know, Deusa.

You gotta trust me.

I got more gigs for us.

It's happening.

This band is gonna be

a big success for us.

And you, my love,

are gonna be a star.

I think even Daniel Soh

would've been a fan of yours.

[optimistic music playing]

[Tadeu] You're Deusa, right?

What an artist. What a singer.

- Can I have an autograph?

- You're ridiculous.

[both laughing]

[Deusa] How old are you anyway, kid?

No one asks for autographs anymore.

You want a selfie?

[Tadeu laughs] Oh!

How about a big, wet kiss?

[doorbell ringing]

- [Tadeu] What's goin' on?

- [Valdo] Hey.

[Tadeu] You okay?

Do you guys think you could

let us sleep here tonight?

Two of us.

- Sure, yeah.

- [bus approaching]

Guess it's three of us then.

- What a pleasant surprise.

- Hey, Patrício.

[wearily] Hey.

- Tadeu, would you

- It's okay. No need to explain.

Come on in.

- The more the merrier.

- Sônia kicked you out of the house, right?

- Uh-huh. That's right.

- [laughs] You deserved it. Give me that.

- [Nelton] You got it?

- [Valdo] Give it here.

I know you, Patrício.

- Yeah, Valdo, you know me so well.

- I do. I do.

- I know you so well.

- [Tadeu] Come on in.

[Valdo] Ah, there she is!

Are you happy to see us?

- [Deusa] What a surprise.

- How are ya?

- [Patrício] Ugh, I need a beer.

- Oh, yeah? Grab one for me, please!

This couch'll work. I call dibs.

That may be the only option.

Got a spare room?

- [Deusa] No, sorry.

- Hey, come here, come here.

- Is it okay with you if they stay here?

- How long are we talking about?

Hey, Valdo, get off.

I'm sleeping there, dude.

[Valdo] Hey, Deusa,

I don't want to impose, but, uh

- [Deusa] Yeah?

- Having something to eat would be great.

[scoffs] Now you're pushing it, Valdo.

- [Valdo] We're hungry.

- Maybe some noodles?

- Some noodles would be good.

- Sausage would be great.

You guys are really pathetic,

you know that?

Leave it to me, I'll make us something.

Come, you can help.

And don't get too comfortable.

We're on the road again tomorrow, guys.

- [Patrício] How?

- [Tadeu] On your bus!

Hmm. So you said

he wanted to sell the bus?

[Patrício grunts]

He does, yeah.

Now I just need the money. [laughs]

Look, it's only two gigs.

But I think this truckers' thing

might be really good for us.

It could mean a whole lot of publicity.

It's a great opportunity, but

without you and the bus, we can't do it.

f*ck, Tadeu,

driving off with Villi's bus like that

would be kinda like I was betraying him.

[chuckles] Kinda like

- what his daughter literally did to you?

- Hey! Come on, man! Quiet!

[Tadeu] I'm just kidding.

Hey, listen, just hope

Deusa doesn't do it ever.

It hurts like a b*tch, man!

Here, look, I've got a proposal for you.

[laughing] Hey! Hey! What the hell, man?

I'm already married. Or "was."

[Tadeu] No

you hang on to it as collateral.

- Mmm.

- When we've made some money,

I'll help you buy the bus.

Meanwhile, you drive the thing

and come on the road with us.

- What's this worth?

- Pfft, no idea.

It was my mother's.

And if things don't work out, keep it.

Isn't this for Deusa?

I was gonna give it to her

after the gigs were over,

but, honestly, the band means

more to her than a ring right now.

She deserves it.

We all deserve it, right, huh?

[laughs]

Um, the bus is out of gas,

just so you know.

- [both laughing]

- [hopeful music playing]

GOIÂNIA THEATER

[hopeful music continues]

Hey, Tereza.

- Hello?

- [Tereza] Eva, darling.

- Everything all right?

- Yeah, um

I just maybe need a few more days.

Honey, you realize that your father's

going to be back from his trip

in two days?

He's already asked me

where you were several times.

What did you tell him?

Well, I told him you'd gone to Manu's

ranch way out in the middle of nowhere,

and that the cellphone reception's bad.

But, Eva, dear, you know

I don't like lying to Mr. Cláudio.

Just for another day or two!

Look, as soon as I get what I want,

I swear, I'll come right home. I promise.

What if we hear back from Vienna?

If you hear back from Vienna,

then just call and let me know.

It's really important that

no one knows I'm here, okay?

Okay.

Yeah. For sure.

You're the best, Tereza.

Thanks.

[gentle music playing]

Did you speak with Daniel's mother?

[Kriss] His family won't budge,

they just want a small, private funeral.

I've been thinking, what if we

stage some kind of musical tribute?

Like a concert or something?

A memorial.

The fans always love that kind of thing.

We could arrange to have various artists

sing some of his biggest hits.

[Cesár sighs]

Okay, let's do it. Yeah.

I want all the press and critics there.

Maybe they'll finally acknowledge

his talent, even Salazini.

What is it?

Salazini's got a new piece

out this morning.

It's about Daniel.

That's good, isn't it?

Yeah, well

it's not great.

[gentle music playing]

[music continues faintly on headphones]

God be with you.

[laughs] And with you.

SÔNIA

We need to talk. Sorry, baby

Hey, you want some water?

- No, I'm good.

- What's wrong?

Ah, it's Sônia.

She keeps texting me, it really sucks.

- Well, have you texted her back?

- No, I know what she's like.

If I reply, she'll never stop talking.

So you're just gonna let a

fine-looking woman like that get away?

Tadeu, she let some other guy

use my shampoo.

Nah.

[Tadeu] Don't sweat it, man.

You're handsome, intelligent,

and an amazing drummer, for real!

Just wait, you'll see.

You'll find another woman in no time.

- Yeah.

- I mean, you're totally over Sônia, right?

- Well, I

- No, no, no, come on, you're over her.

- You're making fun of me, aren't you?

- You're over her!

[in Portuguese] I've been free from you

For a week now

[in English] The others

don't know about it!

[in Portuguese] I don't miss

Checking your stories

Zero likes, zero desire to see you

[in English] Go ahead, Sônia.

Text all you want, I'm ghosting you.

[all playing along]

[in Portuguese] To kiss your lips

And fall asleep

To spoon you naked

And make

Make love with you

- [in English] Bro, give me that!

- Hey!

- Let me show you how it's done.

- [all clamoring]

- What am I supposed to play?

- Just watch.

- [playing upbeat tune]

- [Tadeu] Yeah! There we go! That's good.

That's good, right?

[in Portuguese] I am over you

I am certainly over you

But don't text me again

Or I'm going to relapse

I'm over you

[phone ringing]

MOM

[in English] What's up, Ms. Aurora?

Can you hear the music? We're on the road.

Celebrating your success, huh?

[laughs] "Success"?

Your show for the truckers last night.

It went so well, honey!

How do you know?

Me, Berenice, Zoraide, Neusa

Everyone around here

watched the whole thing.

- Where did you see it?

- The internet.

A reporter there even did a story on it.

It exploded all over my chat group.

And Amanda says she used all her

data allowance watching it over and over.

- For real?

- Even the mayor texted me.

Oh, and you remember Osvaldo,

honey, your cousin's husband

Yeah! Mom, listen, I've really gotta go!

Thanks for calling! Bye!

- Yo, guys, listen! We've gone viral!

- [music stops]

[Cesár scoffs] Unbelievable.

Ana, listen to this, listen.

"It's a tragedy to lose a young singer,

but in reality,

music isn't losing very much."

"The false pop-idol factory

built by César Marcolo

has us convinced that

even a cake recipe was music

when performed by this vocal mediocrity

who used the excuse

of being a country singer

to sell out concerts

of his utterly forgettable songs."

This guy's so disrespectful.

Who does this piece of sh*t think he is

talking about Daniel that way?

- Calm down, César.

- "Calm down"?

We make music for the fans,

not for that guy.

[huffs] Listen to this.

Listen to this part.

"Curiously, the tragedy

caused a previously unknown band

to cause a sensation online

with a simple roadside concert,

proving that the passing

of this musical mediocrity

has made room for something younger,

fresher, and more original."

I'm gonna sue the son of a b*tch, I swear!

If I ever see him, I'm gonna k*ll him.

I'm gonna k*ll him.

- I'm gonna k*ll him.

- Well, he is right about one thing.

- This band's pretty incredible.

- Have you been listening?

- Did you hear what he wrote?

- Come here, look at this.

It's gone viral.

[in Portuguese] loving you from afar

Wishing you were near, near

- [in English] Turn it up a little.

- [volume increases]

[continues on video in Portuguese]

I will be loving you from afar

[Valdo in English] Dude, we k*lled it.

Read the comments.

- God, I look good, man.

- [Tadeu laughs]

- [Patrício] Hey, guys!

- [Valdo] Yeah?

How 'bout it?

Do I look any thinner on that?

- [all laughing]

- [Valdo] Yeah. Yeah, for sure, dude.

Now my mom's never gonna let me come home.

Should I send it to Luana?

- [all exclaiming]

- [Valdo] Are you kidding or what?

I posted our contact info,

'cause we got so many inquiries.

- They want to book us.

- [Nelton] Can we handle them?

- [laughing] What?

- [phone ringing]

- Hello?

- [César on phone] Hello, how are you?

This is César Marcolo of Marcolo Music.

- [Tadeu] Who is it?

- [whispers] César Marcolo.

[Tadeu incredulously] What?

Put him on speaker! Put him on speaker!

[César] I saw a video

of your tribute to Daniel. It was nice.

I'd like to meet you guys.

- [Tadeu] Well, sure, that'd be great!

- [César] Good.

Would you be able to

come into the studio for an audition

by the end of the day today?

Oh, yes, of course we can!

We're on our way.

See you then.

- [Deusa gasps]

- [Tadeu] But, guys

- [Valdo] Ahh! Yes!

- Come on, we have a show tonight.

We can't just go back to Goiânia.

I'm totally sure

we can reschedule the show.

César Marcolo actually wants us

to come in and audition!

We can't pass that up!

Yeah, it doesn't matter that we've

got a show, we'd be crazy to miss this.

Look, if it's not us,

they'll find someone else to play.

Yeah, man, we could be rich soon.

Even better, rich and famous!

I vote we audition!

- [Nelton] Same here.

- [Valdo] I second the motion.

So, we goin' back to town or not?

Tell me if I should turn around already.

What do you say?

Patrício, back to Goiânia,

we have an audition!

That's my man!

[soft music playing]

VILLI'S RANCH

[horn sounding]

[Deusa in Portuguese]

You can find many lovers

But no one will give you

What I gave you

[Deusa and Tadeu]

They may even give you some pleasure

But I can swear, you'll see

No one will love you like I did

[in English] Come on! Come on!

[in Portuguese] You can taste

A million kisses

But I know you'll remember me

Whenever someone touches you

You can give yourself to the moment

But you still won't forget me

I will remain

Nestled in your heart

On a cold, lonely night

Longing will call my name

I will remain

In a sad verse of passion

In every summer dream

At the touch of your phone

[in English] From the look of it,

you like these guys a whole bunch.

- [chuckles] What? They're good.

- Mmm-hmm.

[in Portuguese] You'll see

You'll see

You'll see

- [Tadeu chuckling]

- [Nelton in English] Nice one, guys.

- [Tadeu] That was good.

- [Nelton] Even you.

How long have you all been together?

Uh, Deusa and I

have been playing together for a year.

And, uh, Patrício and I

have played together for a long time.

The rest of the guys, well

It hasn't been long. Uh, it's been, like

- [Patrício] Like, maybe a month?

- [Deusa] Uh

- [Patrício] Or even less?

- [Deusa laughs] Yeah, but anyway.

We haven't been together for a long time,

but all of us have been on the road a lot.

Patrício's played

a lot of rock and reggae.

Tadeu's played since he was a kid.

And Nelton and Valdo's father

is a musician.

- You're brothers?

- [Nelton] But

[Valdo] Half.

We have the same dad.

Yeah, our old man used to

play a lot of samba back in the day.

Well, he played samba with his mom.

With mine, he actually played gospel.

- Deusa?

- Yes, sir.

[Cesár] Was your father an accordionist?

No, no.

- No?

- No.

I learned music from my mother.

Ah, so she's an artist?

Not really, she teaches Portuguese

at a public school.

Uh, she's always loved words and poetry,

and she taught me how to have a good ear,

so that's how I learned to play by ear.

- [Tadeu] And to play well, I might add.

- Oh?

[both chuckle]

Guys, that was amazing!

Really. You have authenticity, charisma.

- I'm sure that we can

- Yeah, we've heard enough, I think.

We want to thank you all for coming.

But, uh, what does that mean?

Do we have a chance?

Of course.

They have a lot of potential,

don't you think?

I'd like to talk to Deusa alone.

You can say it in front of everyone.

I'd like you to try going solo.

[bittersweet music playing]

You're joking, right?

[bittersweet music continues]
