01x03 - Episode 3

Post by bunniefuu »

[Inez] How can we determine
whether someone is innocent

or whether they're guilty?

By determining what the truth is.

[baby cries]

[Inez] The issue here
is that no one really knows the truth.

[shushes]

All we have
are a bunch of different versions.

There's the judge's version,
the defense attorney's,

my own, there's yours,
and the defendant's.

[somber music playing]

[baby continues crying]

[music turns menacing]

[heavy breathing]

[Inez] Now that you've heard
Eliane's version of the events,

this is the time to decide what type
of person you think she really is.

What type of mother
risks losing her family like she has?

-[baby continues crying]
-[piercing shrill]

[heartbeat thuds]

One who's a criminal.

[grunts]

No!

[gasps]

[door opens]

Mom, I had another scary dream.
Can I sleep here?

Another one, Uli?

Here, lie down with us.

[dog barking faintly]

[pop music playing on radio]

-[Uli] Why did you give up being a barber?
-[Silas] I didn't give up, man.

But we agreed we'd help your mom, right?

-[Uli] Yeah, we did.
-[Silas] So…

-Hm?
-Let's eat, guys.

-Here we go, here we go, here we go.
-Hm.

Uh! It's pretty awesome, man.

-Looking good.
-[laughs]

[music on radio continues]

-Ta-da!
-Whoa, yeah!

-Mm. Dig in.
-Are we celebrating?

Hey, don't you like a little appreciation?

-Definitely.
-Mm.

Look, she made us
ham and cheese rolls too!

Ah. You'll get one if you help me clean up
the giant mess you guys left outside.

Oh, Mom.

Listen, I'm visiting grandma later today.
You want to draw something for her, Uli?

I need a day off. Okay, Mom?

Okay. [laughs]

[phone vibrates]

UNKNOWN NUMBER
NEW MESSAGE

Make sure you put lots of ham on it.

-Three whole slices.
-[Silas] Three?

GOT THIS NUMBER
SO WE CAN TALK. XO. J

[ominous music playing]

SCREENING

SÃO PAULO WOMEN'S PENITENTIARY

[Marina] Ulisses made it.

Hm.

[sighs]

Uh.

What do you want?

I don't know.

I just wanna talk.

I'm kind of scared

that I'm getting swept into a situation.

[sighs]

I don't know.
It's jumbled around in my brain.

Issues of the heart, right?

This guy that I went to visit,

we're trying to get this case reviewed.

Who's "we"?

It's just a group over at school.
And my professor, it's a…

It's a sort of study group
and it's called Criminal Review.

We've been trying
to get this case reopened

so we can prove
he was wrongly convicted of the crime and…

And that he's innocent.

And, is he?

Just like you.

[scoffs]

Okay. And what's the issue?

Well, in the beginning,
I wanted to get him to trust me.

But then I chose to do something
I'm unable to take back.

Aren't you with Silas?

Don't hurt that boy.
He does so much for you and your son.

It's just… His name is Jonathan.

When I'm there, he looks at me
like he knows my whole life.

Isn't he in prison?

So don't go back again.
It'll hurt, but it'll pass.

Mom, no. I've gotta keep going.

I could learn a lot with this professor.

I'll stick by her,
learn everything, and get you out of here.

The professor is…

is Inez Franco.

[tense music playing]

-But she's not onto me at all.
-What is wrong with you?

She thinks I'm just another student.
She knows I'm good at law.

This can't continue.
You'll drop that class, understood?

But she knows every detail of your case.
I can get her to trust me and then we--

Marina! You better listen to your mother.

Listen to me.
You watch out for this woman.

We've gotta be smart or she'll crush
whatever little scraps we've still got.

-You understand?
-Yeah, okay. Yeah.

The award isn't even for you, Dad.
It's for Murilo.

Exactly. My ego needs your moral support

and Murilo is looking forward
to seeing you tonight.

They'll all leave me out.

No. Tonight will be a master class,
just trust me.

If you wanna study law,
you go to law school.

If you want a career,
go to the Bar Association dinner.

It's networking.

Come on, Bê, you owe me one.

Dad, I told you already,
it was that guy Kim.

He gave them Helinho's location.

And who invited that, uh…

that oh-so-noble colleague
to drop in at our house?

Who?

Dad…

Inez convinced Neusa
to amend her statement.

She'll say she was intimidated
into IDing Jonathan.

[tense music playing]

[sighs]

VALOR AND INTEGRITY AWARD

-No.
-Perfect. Just what I was hoping to hear.

Well boys, I'm pretty sure
that means we're screwed.

Stop exaggerating.

Exaggerating?!

Helinho has refused to make a deal

and he plans
to stick to the version that f*ck us.

And Inez has Jonathan,
which was the only thing we had.

If she can prove that the police
coerced Neusa's statement,

-she's not going to stop--
-Grab me another, please.

f*ck, Ana.

What's the problem?
I thought he's your insider.

Guys, I told you this already.
Let's just make an argument for deferral.

You keep insisting, but there's no reason
they'd support adjournment now.

So, think of something.

Try saying
there's a possible scheduling issue.

Renata had a breakdown… Whatever.

Our team just needs time
to regroup, alright?

Brilliant work. The award
you're about to receive is tailor-made.

Oh. Hello!

Chief Cristina!

Hi, are you well? Hm.

It's no exaggeration. We are screwed.

We'll keep Neusa in line.
We know how to bring her back.

Or… if I can say it.

Say it.

Just stop Inez, right?

We'll go straight
to the university's board

and talk to Castro. He's the president.
You know him, don't you, guys?

-Yes.
-So…

We could reveal how Inez endangered
the students with the whole Helinho thing.

Great idea. And she's going to argue
that we knew the location

of a fugitive on the run
and then we're all screwed.

You and I didn't know about it.
Only Pedro's in trouble.

-Hey, come on!
-Oh please, be serious guys, we can't.

-Because it's Inez, huh, Murilo?
-Yes. Because it's Inez.

Let me guess. You're discussing work again
aren't you, honey?

-Hi guys!
-That's enough for tonight, okay?

Were you talking about me
or the other one?

-[laughs]
-Yeah…

-It's Renata Vasquez. Always a bang.
-Ah.

Mm. She's really tough competition
these days, isn't she?

-Mhm.
-[ceremonial music playing]

-They're about to start. Come on.
-Alright.

-After you.
-Yep.

Ana, if you can give me more time,
I can find us some other alternative.

We don't have any more time, Murilo.
Neither time nor an alternative.

I just need two days.
Two days. I'll figure it all out.

Without coercing witnesses
or pulling other tricks like that.

Sit the f*ck down, Murilo.

Shall we? Okay, fine.

No more work talk.

Well, I… I'd prepared a speech
that I thought I'd give tonight.

But…

now that we're actually here
and I see so many friends…

and so many colleagues who fight hard
every day to defend the law here in Brazil

I just don't know what to say.

Look at me, I… It's strange, isn't it?

A lawyer at a loss for something to say.

No, but it's a good thing.

It means I'm not gonna be boring you

with a long list of everyone
I need to thank for supporting me, right?

But I want to take this opportunity,
if you don't mind,

to thank one person here,

who, much like this award here,
leaves me basically…

well, unable to speak
every time I see her.

Bianca Freire.

Honey, what this award means to me

is, well, a recognition
of what we've been through together.

But you, Bianca, give me a faith to go on

and keep fighting
for the future still ahead.

Thank you. Thank you.

IN HONOR OF MURILO VILLAR

He's gonna get pissed off.

He'll thank us for it eventually.

We'll be saving this whole case.

Right along
with their marriage, conveniently.

Who's gonna inform Renata?

[handbrake cranks]

[ominous music playing]

[car horns honk]

You got the money
for the cleaning you did, right?

-I sure did, thank you. Means a lot.
-You're welcome.

Neusa, if it wasn't for you lending me
a hand cleaning up this apartment,

it never would've gotten done.

But I wanted
to have sold all this stuff by now.

Apparently the court said I can't yet.

I'll pray for you, ma'am.
I really hope it's settled before long.

Hm.

It's just so hard for me
being back in this apartment, you know?

[eerie shrill]

You have no idea how hard.

Actually, you do know what it's like
because you also lost a friend that day.

My father used to love these little cups.
They were my mother's.

Thank you.

[Renata takes a deep breath]

Neusa, I heard a lawyer came here
to see you a few days ago, is that right?

Did you talk to one?

[ominous music continues]

Can I ask a favor?

Forget the lawyers.

You know by now that all lawyers do

is make a lot of trouble
for everybody involved.

And did I tell you that I'm looking
for new caretakers for the old farmstead?

And I was thinking,
well obviously it's up to you,

but I wondered if you'd be interested.

Then you, and your husband, and Raíssa,
and all of your kids could live there too.

How does that sound? Working there?

Our client
coerced the testimony of a witness?

If anybody finds out
this was your plan, we're boned.

Keep your voice down.

Congratulations, you both.

Now we have new evidence
that our client's bribing witnesses.

[scoffs] And what are you doing, Murilo?
What exactly have you done so far?

-Time is running out, okay?
-Come on. I asked you to wait two days!

We're in the final minutes
of extra time here, Murilo.

It's beyond etiquette and that sh*t now.

And you've talked people
into giving new statements too.

Ever since Inez got involved in this,
you've forgotten what's at stake.

That's what it is.

You think your ex will give you a pass
when she figures out you climbed in bed

with the same guys
that arranged Jonathan's arrest?

I know we're f*cked, man.

That's why I made sure she got to Neusa.
'Cause one of us should cover our asses.

Yeah. I mean, it's also saving
your dear Inez from this, right, Murilo?

Because you know her,
well, better than the two of us.

She would turn this
into David and Goliath

and she wouldn't recover
from that kind of fight.

SÃO PAULO

[car lock beeps]

ENTRANCE

Here to see Jonathan Ferreira dos Santos.

[tense music swells]

Not on the list. Just a minute.

You're going in without me?

No. I assumed you'd visit.

You've got supreme confidence in yourself.

Yeah, I do.

But I trust you just as much.

And I'm sorry. I tend to step out of line.

I shouldn't have talked to you
the way I did then.

You made a strong case, though.

Concise and direct.

Efficient.

And look, it worked.

You said your piece, now I believe
it's my turn to say what I think.

Go ahead.

Marina, you're cleared to go in.

Inez, you're not authorized.

I'm his lawyer, though. No, that's wrong.

Let's leave.
If we go, he'll have to reconsider.

You're his lawyer,
why would he be blacklisting you?

You go ahead.

No way. We'll go together
or else neither of us goes.

Try to find out why I was locked out.
Here's my list of questions.

Just let him talk.
Write down what he says, everything.

And bring up the fight cautiously, okay?
No accusations.

Go.

[ominous music playing]

You save my number?

You can't keep calling me.

-[sighs]
-I need to apologize as well.

What happened last time
shouldn't have happened--

I don't follow.

Uh, let's review.

You told me to stop letting
your professor visit, didn't you?

She gave me just a couple more questions
I wanted to ask you about--

I got a few more questions of my own.

You made that up, right?

That she got your mom out.

That's my answer.

It's our secret.

I guess she'd be surprised
not to get in today.

What did you tell her?

I promised I'd ask.

And what's my answer?

That you're more at ease
with me here than with her.

Why, at ease, huh?

That's very true.

And I'll tell her you're feeling unsure.

She'll get how you'd feel that way.

He feels unsure.
He's pretty wary right now.

It's normal, right?
It's been traumatic so far.

It's hard for him to trust lawyers
after what he's been through.

He looks at you and sees the same person
who convicted him.

[tense music playing]

What's wrong?

It's funny,
you don't even have to go inside.

Just looking at it from the outside,
you can see

the entire system is…

[sighs]

so utterly broken.

So, Evandro…
The fight cost him his job there.

And he got desperate because of his bills
and needing to earn money--

Jonathan told you? But after the fight,
those two never spoke to each other again.

No. Actually, it wasn't Jonathan
who said that about Evandro.

I just inferred that 'cause--

Hold on. Just repeat what he told you,
Marina. Don't speculate, okay?

Well, Jonathan confirmed for me
that on the 25th,

about the time when the forensic team
has claimed the crime occurred,

he was at the Brava Fight.
A contest held at the youth center.

And can he prove it?

Oh, I forgot to ask.

It's not a lot to go off then, Marina.

Send a message to the group,
ask them to start searching

for any record of this fight,
like photos, videos, anything will do.

Get in.

Oh, hey. Kim says they're heading
to meet us at your house

because he's prepping
to depose Mrs. Neusa soon.

They'll get there ahead of us, then.

Alright, tell him
there's an extra key, there's, uh…

It's by the door under the plant
I have out there. Out front.

[playful music playing]

[screenshot click]

[music turns eerie]

Never imagined I'd say this, but I'm sick
of scrubbing through photos of men.

Check out you two. [laughs]

You can feel the tension.

Hey, this isn't tension. It's the b*mb
that I'll drop as soon as Inez gets here.

Raquel solved the case.

Mm, congratulations. Way to go.

Why so down, huh, Bê?
Is there a sedative mixed into those nuts?

Let go! Let go.
I don't talk to enemies, alright?

Enemies? How old are you? Twelve?

The only enemies adults have
are credit card debts and bills, you know?

Child.

That camera's fancy, Lima.

My mom got me this.
It wasn't that expensive. Duty free.

Ugh.

What's that? Hey, let me see.

Whoa! Check out Inez's hair.

It was so much better.

Wow. Her father, Antônio Franco.

President of the Bar
during the dictatorship. Hello?

-Classic old generation.
-Kim, put that back. Come on, dude.

You could be fined
for violation of property.

Alright, guys. Where the hell is Neusa?

Not to rain on your parade,
but Neusa's testimony is totally useless.

Why is that?

It was Jonathan.

And Letícia confirmed that he did it.

The police searched
her and Jonathan's house

and found, surprise, surprise,
an extra key to the Vasquez's apartment.

Just sitting there
inside of Jonathan's bag.

What's in the pocket of this backpack?

[baby crying]

So that's the b*mb you held onto?
That doesn't change anything.

Doesn't it?

The police said there were no signs
the door had been broken into.

And that means
the k*ller had to have the key.

But why would such a big piece
of evidence be left out?

That's a very good question.

It doesn't make sense.

Either Letícia is lying
or it was taken out for some reason.

Letícia's actually afraid of Jonathan.
I saw her expression, okay?

She was talking about how he's expl*sive
and impossible to control at all.

[ominous music playing]

Just take a look at page 238.

Take a guess who did this to her.

Based on statistics here in Brazil,
there are four women k*lled every day.

-I saw that, yes.
-Can I see?

[Raquel] That photo was taken
the day she gave her statement.

SMS J.
WHEN ARE YOU BACK? I MISS YOU.

[Inez] That's why I thought
it might've been the police who did it,

but with what Letícia is saying now

plus the fight that broke out
with Jonathan and Evandro…

Fight? So they did know each other?

It's something to consider.

Ugh, Jonathan. Damn, girl.
Can't do much for you now.

[phone beeps]

Inez…

I would like to chat with you,
but you should wait to reply for a bit.

You are, that is, I know

that we…

So if you committed one crime,

that automatically means
you're guilty of another?

No, but you're ignoring
his whole history, honey.

-I'm not your "honey."
-The key to the Vasquez apartment was in…

MURILO
NEW MESSAGE

Okay then, to sum it up,
Jonathan is guilty, and the group is over.

MURILO
MESSAGE DELETED

Come on, guys.
Let's just take a second here.

Are any of you certain
Jonathan's guilty of m*rder now?

Okay. Are any of you certain
that Jonathan is really innocent?

Certain, not wishful thinking.

All right, then.

So what we have is potential evidence,

but guilt must be established
beyond a reasonable doubt.

He's innocent otherwise.

In dubio pro reo.

-Presumption of innocence.
-Federal Constitution, Article 5.

Not just in Brazil. It's part of the UN's
Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

That's right. No one is considered guilty
until a criminal conviction is finalized

and no longer subject to further recourse.

But he was already convicted
in his first trial, though.

And I want to demonstrate that the state
wasn't effective in proving him guilty.

That they were arbitrary and biased too.

And what if you're wrong?

Then I have proudly defended
a value that is worth protecting.

The next time, you may need it.

That's a wonderful theory.
If only it didn't favor the ab*ser.

And against a woman who's had to live
in complete fear that he'll get out

and just appear on the porch
out of nowhere in the middle of the night.

Raquel…

No, I'm done. I won't carry on
in playing this ridiculous role

defending someone who was convicted.

-[Lima] Raquel. Raquel!
-Bye.

Raquel, wait!

Raquel!

Raquel, wait!

Did you see the way
Inez was talking to me just now?

She's always saying she wants justice done
when all she wants to do is outdo her ex.

[sighs]

-Is that better, detective?
-[Raquel sighs]

You know I've got you.

-It didn't really feel like it.
-No, I just…

Just what, Lima?

Well… Don't you think you're projecting
your story onto Letícia's?

-[dramatic music playing]
-[sighs]

Raquel! Please, I…

Wait up!

[dial tone sounds]

She's not answering, guys.
So that's it. I think we lost Neusa.

Neither is Raquel.

I wanna hear Letícia.
I'll drive out to Apiaí tomorrow.

-I'll ride along.
-Count me in.

Bernardo?

Me? Well, of course.

-I'll go too.
-You stay here, Marina.

I need someone
to stay put for Neusa and Jonathan.

He only talks with you, right?

[ominous music playing]

Well, look who's no longer
the favorite student.

My Uber is here.

[ominous music continues]

Can you give me a ride, please?

I know what you saw was a little weird,
but I can explain everything, okay. I'm--

Hang on Marina,
don't bother explaining. It's alright.

But I want to.

Things got out of control. I'd hoped
Jonathan would start trusting me

because without trust, he won't talk,
and I can't prove anything.

-And so you decided to have an affair?
-I would never do that.

Really? 'Cause kisses
and "miss you" seem super professional.

It wasn't like that, Bernardo.

Not the way you think it went, anyway.

Believe me. If I could just go back
and undo it somehow…

But if Jonathan loses trust in me,
the group's done.

You told Inez about it?

No. And I'm not about to.

Alright, Marina. You explained it, okay?

So you lie about things,
Jonathan and Kim lie,

constantly, it seems like,

and my father's a big liar.
It's all in the name of the law.

-You gonna tell Inez?
-Of course.

-Hey, no. Come on.
-Yes, I will.

But not just yet because it'd completely
f*ck over Jonathan's case, Marina.

One of us has to have ethics.

[ominous music continues]

Justice always starts
when you first call the police, okay.

It's where we all join forces
to hear the victim's side.

Hey. Wait, wait, wait.

Back off. You're messing up my outfit
and I can't be late.

-So that's your interview outfit, huh?
-Mhm.

After yesterday,
I thought you'd wear white

as some type of protest thing
with some doves and the word "peace."

Relax. Your group
won't see that much of me now.

Hey. Just let that go, Raquel.

You guys won, I know.
I wasn't a good fit for all that.

I'm not an heiress, Lima.

I can't waste time
defending criminals just to ease my guilt.

[intriguing music playing]

[buzzer rings]

-May I help you?
-How are you?

-Very good.
-Is Neusa here? She cleans the building.

I'm sorry to say Neusa quit her job
at the building recently.

-Oh, wow.
-Yeah, she resigned.

-But you must have an address for her.
-No address. I'm sorry, no. Was that all?

Yeah. Thank you.

You're welcome. Have a nice day.

[phone vibrating]

Marina, hey. We've got the whole g*ng on.
Did you ever find Neusa?

Apparently, she quit her job.

I'm trying to find an address or something
but no one knows much. I thought I would…

Hello?

sh*t. Just lost her.

Disappearing like that, no explanation.
It sounds like Neusa's been threatened.

Okay. You'll need a left turn here.

I wouldn't be surprised if your father's
firm had something to do with it.

f*cking b*stards.

[music turns tense]

Hey. That's the turn, guys.

[tires screech]

Justice starts
when you first contact the police, right?

It's where we all join forces to hear
the victim's side and their family's side.

It's where we all hear the primary version
of whatever facts are known,

and often the only version
that wasn't distorted

by some tactic of the defense
or some mistake in the process yet.

The police station
is where the truth is revealed

and it's the victim's word that matters,
not the person's on trial.

I don't want to defend legal theories,

I want to defend the defenseless.

[phone vibrating]

J
CALLING

-Hello.
-[Jonathan] Marina.

I can't stop thinking about you.

Did it work out with your teacher?

Uh-huh.

[Jonathan] And are you coming today?

I reviewed the complete case file
and I couldn't find anything

about a key being found at Jonathan's.

But there was this right here.

Another key was in the forensic report,

this one was apparently in the apartment
the day they found the bodies.

[ominous music playing]

EVIDENCE/PROPERTY

But there's no way
that's the same key from the backpack.

Um, it could be. Who knows?

Alright. Take notes
on the key's chain of custody.

I really think that Jonathan's innocent.

Damn, it feels like something
that we're having to force.

A key in his backpack
would have been terrible for his case.

But nobody thought to use it?

Wouldn't they gladly
have brought in proof if he'd done it?

Do you think Letícia's lying to us?

Or it was left out purposely.

Or, I guess they planted the key
they'd found in the apartment

to incriminate Jonathan.

Jesus, isn't that a bit of a stretch?

Who would even want to? For what?

[ominous music playing]

If I'd known we'd sleep here,
I'd have brought my skincare kit.

Hey, look. Is that her?

It's her.

[Inez sighs]

Yeah, great. Go after her, guys.

Inez, I've been wondering

about how old Borrmann got tipped off
Neusa was coming over to our side.

-Think there's a spy in the group?
-Shut up, already. Come on.

Did you tell your father about it?

There she is!

[tense music playing]

[car engine starts]

-You wait here.
-Hm?

What you did is a professional violation
and a serious ethical breach.

Better not do that again.

Come on, Kim.

Inez.

Letícia? Letícia!

Inez. Inez Franco.

I'm Jonathan's lawyer.

Oh my God. Just leave me alone,
come on. I'm serious, please.

-I don't want to talk to lawyers.
-Listen to me.

Letícia, how are you?
Hi, my name's Kim. Pleasure.

Look, I'm with you on hating lawyers.
Nobody's better at bending the law.

-But they can spot lies easily.
-But I'm not lying. I'm not.

They found a key in his backpack you said.
That's not in the police records.

But they found it there.

Here me out. If that's true,
how can you be sure that the key

was to the same apartment
where the theft and m*rder happened?

Because the key they found,
it wasn't mine.

It wasn't to our house.
I'd never seen it before.

-I don't have to explain this to you.
-[Inez] Calm down, Letícia.

It must suck to be in there,
living your life in prison like Jonathan.

Six years, I mean…

That's crazy.

Look at this, Lima!

In the transcript of his confession,
it appears once, here in parentheses.

"Media attached."

-But nothing's attached, so…
-No.

-And it's the recording of his statement.
-Where is it?

No idea. The case was transferred
around this time.

When it was a robbery leading to homicide,
the General Investigations unit had it.

But when it changed to m*rder for hire,

they pushed it over
to Homicide and Personal Protection.

That explains it.
It was lost somehow in the transfer.

-It's bureaucratic neglect.
-No way.

Because the confession was given
at the next station.

[tense music playing]

[phone vibrating]

Answer it.

BERNARDO
CALLING

Bernardo?

-Hello.
-Just a sec.

I need the phone number
Jonathan uses in prison.

Inez knows about that?

Not yet, but give it to me
or I'll tell her about it.

-Chill. What's going on?
-Marina, there's no time to negotiate now.

Hey. Listen up, Bê. It's stupid
to mess with me. You ruin this, I swear--

I'm trying to help you. Look.

This will keep Inez in the dark
and also help get Jonathan off your back.

Send it to me.

It's okay. You'd prefer that the police
come into your home with a subpoena.

-No, I, I…
-Letícia! Letícia.

-Bernardo.
-Someone wants to talk with you.

-Bernardo.
-It's Jonathan.

[Jonathan] Hello?

Hello?

-Jota?
-Who is this?

-Bernardo, this is a crime.
-It's me, Jota. Is that you?

Leti?

[somber music playing]

He's really angry with me.

Well, at least you have a way
to speak with Jonathan,

and Bruno might see his father now. Right?

Guess I'd better prepare Bruno,
poor thing.

Jonathan never understood
why you disappeared.

But now you can tell him.

I didn't mean to do that.
I was so frightened.

Even now, I'm scared.

Of what?

The girl before,
she said you wanna release Jonathan.

-Is that true?
-It was.

But then you said they found that key
in Jonathan's backpack, so…

[sighs]

Letícia, I don't know
what's got you so frightened

but I swear to you, I will protect you.

Look, there's one main thing I learned
being in this group working with Inez

and it's that the real punishment
isn't the one the court gives you.

It comes later on, when all the people
you love finally believed you're guilty.

Is that what you believe?

Okay, if it helps you guys
get Jonathan out, then I'll talk.

[ominous music playing]

I was home alone for…
it must have been two days

and they hadn't told me anything.

No one so much as said where he was.

And Bruno just kept crying and crying.

[baby crying]

Who is it?

Then the…

Back away from the door! Go! Hurry up!

The cops from before came back.

[eerie shrill]

What's in the pocket of this backpack?

[baby continues crying]

-What do you know about this key?
-Answer!

It's my boyfriend's.
It's Jonathan's, it's not mine!

[baby continues crying]

Get out.

Please don't hurt him!
Don't, he's so little!

Please, sir! Don't!

[grunts]

That's when they made me call Jonathan.

Because they wanted
to make sure Jota heard it.

Talk.

-[Letícia crying] Jota, they're
-Leti?

Leti, are you there?

Jota, I can't… Please, just confess.

Where are you, Leti?

Where's Bruno?

I'm sorry, Jota. I'm sorry.

What have they done to you?

[Letícia] They threatened me and said
if I talk to anyone, they would k*ll Jota,

they would k*ll me, and they'd k*ll Bruno.

It's crazy to think the police
could be capable of doing that to Letícia.

Why would Evandro accuse Jonathan?
Out of revenge?

And they both got a reduced sentence
thanks to it.

Robbery-homicide
has a worse penalty than homicide.

It's insane the law
sees property crime as the worst one.

-It's just not right, Inez.
-It's not.

And they took advantage of the situation,
but what are the police getting out of it?

I bet there's a higher up behind this.

Who ordered them
to beat Letícia and to plant the evidence?

I gotta admit it, you nailed it, Bê.

Off to the boys' room. And I'm going
to grab us something to celebrate

this baby boy
finally reaching manhood today.

Can I ask you a question?

I can guess what you wanna ask me.

I bet you'll ask
about how I knew Jonathan had a cell.

No. I figured it out.

It was your father.

I'm sorry, Bê.
I know he's your father and all, but…

-Well, you know how he is.
-Hey, it's okay. Totally fine.

-Go on, I'm ready.
-It's personal.

That's fine.

But may I ask one myself?

Yeah, please.

Inez…

why choose me for the group?

Because the way I see it,
everybody's so smart and I wondered,

was my father part of it?

It was. At the beginning.

But you've shown me
that you're not like him.

-You sure?
-Are you unsure?

And if Kim's right, does that worry you?

That I'm passing information to my dad.

Is your father afraid
you'd pass information to me?

About the cell that Jonathan uses in jail.

The kind of lawyer we want to be
is always our choice.

It's never gonna happen magically.

We have to decide every day.

If you were like him,

you'd have turned me in already
for my blunder with Helinho.

-My turn now?
-Yes.

What do you think of Marina?

-Of Marina?
-Yeah.

[intriguing music playing]

Uh, she… She's really brilliant, right?
And, uh…

It's hard to explain.

She just…

knows what she wants.

You know?

How to best use her strengths.

Hey, there.

Wait a sec.

Yeah, this case was under our jurisdiction
but it was sent from another precinct.

I think the attached media
mentioned here is gone.

Some advice, guys? Go back
and try the original station first.

Ugh!

If I don't get this media thing,
my professor will say I'm super useless.

-But surely your boyfriend can defend you.
-[laughs]

No, no. I don't have a boyfriend, though.

Mm.

-Listen.
-[man] Hm?

Every station has that one room
that's always tucked away, right?

Filled with stuff you can't throw out.

Yeah. The old archive room, sure.

Yeah.

[funky music playing]

-That's Brazil for you!
-Lima, quit complaining, huh.

Every place has a hiding spot
for its nasty secrets.

Okay, come on.
He'll get here soon, wanting to bang me.

You're a piece of work,
you know that? Huh.

And you men are predictable, aren't you?

All you want
is a damsel in need of saving.

Hey, alright. No comment, Your Honor.

[funky music continues]

ARCHIVE

[laughs] I'm good.
Just a little tired, you know?

Coffee will do the trick.

Ah, you're being so sweet. Thanks.

-Mhm.
-[giggles]

-I guess I should head back up.
-Oh, you're leaving?

-We can talk later on.
-I'll wait.

-You will?
-Mhm.

[chuckles]

-Good luck.
-See ya.

[giggles]

DHPP - CIVIL POLICE
SÃO PAULO

Go, go, go. Come on.

[funky music continues]

The most embarrassing thing
happened today. [laughs]

All the paving stones
on the rooftop are completely uneven

and Roberto fell down in front
of the client, can you believe it?

-Really?
-Just picture it, Roberto…

All sprawled out. [laughs]

Having to admit that he needed
to redo the calculations, I mean…

[laughs]

-Oh my God!
-Yeah.

Seriously. I just froze,
I had no idea what to do.

Anything wrong?

-What is it?
-No, it's just…

It's just Renata's case.

-Hm.
-A new, um…

lawyer has joined the frame and it's been…

She's been wreaking havoc trying to prove
the guy that confessed is innocent.

Ugh, the pictures are awful.
Don't show me.

Mm. I get it.

How come you don't just join forces
with that other lawyer then?

Why not propose a deal or,

I don't know, a trade?

It's Inez.

-[somber music playing]
-Hm?

Inez, Inez?

Yeah. [chuckles] Is there any other?

How long has it been?

[Murilo] Not long at all. It's recent.

She suddenly got involved in the case and…

But yeah, we've had to get together
and talk and negotiate.

Shook you up, huh?

-Bianca…
-Don't brush it off like that. Tell me.

I suppose she gets under my skin
a little bit. [sighs]

But not like she did before.
It's different, of course.

Now, it's sort of…

It's just a professional
competition thing, you know?

And I only say this to be honest with you.

[laughs] I know you so well.

So to me, it's really clear.

And when you get like this,
it's not just about work, you spiral out.

You wanna stay in control,
but meanwhile you're drowning, right?

I can feel this case starting to topple.
It's about to fall apart.

And Ana and Pedro are just trying
to run me over and… [sighs]

I don't want to lose you
in the midst of all this.

No.

You won't lose me.

But I can't try and pull you back out
if you don't tell me where you're at.

[Kim] The Borrmann mansion.

[Inez] Here you are.

Thanks.

And be proud of the work you did,
especially with Letícia.

See you tomorrow.

Teamwork.

-Hop in front.
-Yeah, coming.

-Okay, let's boogie.
-[Inez] Shall we?

[jazz music playing]

Hey, Bê.

So, how was it with Leci?

Letícia, Dad.

Well, whatever.

Bê, please. Details.

Well, if I were you,
I'd stop worrying about Inez, okay?

Really?

She's good, but she's way too out of shape
to manage a case like this one.

Letícia didn't even wanna talk to us.

Yeah! Boyo!

Dad! Dad, stop.
Dad, please. I'm tired, can you not?

I want to go to bed.
Please, give me space.

Of course. You got it, kid.

[Jazz music continues]

Yeah, it's the one here.
At the green gate.

Right here.

-Thanks a lot for the ride, Inez.
-Ah, it's nothing.

-Good night, Kim.
-You have a good night too. Get home safe.

[ominous music playing]

[man speaking Korean] Are you back?

Good evening.

Today was bulgogi day.
I left you some in the fridge.

Help yourself if you're hungry.

Thank you, Grandpa.
I still have work to do.

Okay.

[ominous music continues]

[speaking English] Inez!

Look who I found wandering around.

Well, Murilo.
I'd better let you two talk, huh?

The Law Ethics class
is taught in the auditorium.

I want a truce.

-Change your mind again?
-Hm?

The message you sent me earlier,
now it seems it's been deleted.

Ah.

Did you get to listen to it?

No.

Was that lucky?

[sighs]

Well, here it goes.

I've gotten tired of trying to win this,
of trying to find a way to beat you.

You've won.

It wasn't like this between us.
One against the other.

Do you remember how we'd dismantle
every case we put--

Murilo, okay. Hold on.
What exactly did I win?

Mm… A trade? A deal?

Why not try joining forces?

Why not, indeed.

I guess because your theory
about Renata's innocence

depends on Jonathan being guilty.

This isn't about steamrolling each other.

Begin by lending me a hand
with Renata's case, just informally,

keep it between you and me.

Then I'll help you after that
to release Jonathan.

And who says I need help from you?

I'm the one who needs help.

To be fair, Renata is out in the world.

She goes shopping,
she gets to stop by a salon,

pays the best lawyers available
to pressure witness testimonies.

Hey, I was against that.

Jonathan, on the other hand,

has been sitting
forgotten in jail for six years.

I think he's the priority here.

God, Murilo…

So I have to do all the work myself, now?

Fine.

I'll refer you to the doctrine
called the fruit of the poisonous tree.

If I overturn Jonathan's conviction,

his statement can no longer
be admitted in court.

Ah. And so I make the case
that all the other statements

-against Renata are no longer valid.
-There, you see?

-The poisonous tree.
-There you go. Good work.

Bit slow though, a bit slow.

Is six weeks enough? Can you manage it?

If you give back our star Neusa,
I'll do it in six days.

God, I hate you for that.

But there's one condition.

Ugh. [laughs]
You don't get to impose conditions.

I'll make sure you have Neusa,
but just to get Jonathan out.

And it stops there.

Forget all the rest and move on.

Why's that?

[gulps]

Can't you trust me?

Tough ask.

[Marina] Are we interrupting?

Inez, we found something
we'd better show you.

[tense music playing]

[police officer] Is that what happened,
Jonathan? Huh? You got that?

"Hélio remains in the vehicle
as the getaway driver while the accused,

Jonathan goes up
to the victim's apartment with Evandro."

Now, I don't know how, but it seems
things got out of control.

So you had to call Hélio to come upstairs.

Your boys needed help, right?

It makes sense Evandro
would wanna call Hélio.

You had no choice. You needed his help.

So now…

How's that key figure into this, huh?

Did Evandro or you have it?
Or else it was Hélio.

Go ahead, was it Hélio?

Concentrate, Jonathan! Come on, kid. Huh?

Hm?

Or did Evandro have the key
and he unlocked the apartment for Hélio?

Is that right? Alright, good.

So what? So Evandro
lets Hélio into the apartment

and Hélio starts gathering up
some of the valuables lying around.

Right, Jonathan?
He probably spotted someone inside.

He saw Benedita de Jesus.

Is that correct?

[Inez] Coercion.

You've got it?

t*rture.

[clears throat]

This video invalidates his confession.

And that detective on there
is called Cristina Ogino.

And guess what? She's now the Chief
of the Civil Police force.

I found it.

I found it! [laughs]

Let me present his alibi!

Is that Jonathan?
That's him, right? I did it.

-Oh my God.
-I f*cking found him.

It's Jonathan!

-It's really him!
-Holy sh*t!

I knew he was innocent. Now we have proof.

Suck on that, m*therf*ckers!

Alright now, uh…
Now the big question remains why.

Right. Copy that. No, everything's good.

Yes. We'll talk later.

Chief Tina?

-Yes?
-This is Raquel.

Pleasure. Raquel, I'm the new intern here.

Yes. Nice to meet you. Chief Tina.
