Post by bunniefuu »

What the hell is this, Raul?

God!

-What's going on?
-Calm down. Come here.

-Calm!
-Are you crazy? He's my dad.

He's my dad, Raul.
Let me see him!

EPISODE:
CIRO

The toys arrived this morning.

I told them to deliver them
at the warehouse.

They don't want.
They think it's too risky.

-They want somewhere neutral.
-Who do they think they are?

Chief! They accepted the price.

Just a minute.

These arrived too.

Where is it going to be?

I've spent three weeks
coming here at night.

No patrol cars. No cameras.

The escape routes
are really good.

I'm going to put one car
in each of the exits.

I asked Pibe for backup.

Okay, but if they mess up,
it will be their problem.

Hi.

It's me.

I need to talk to you.

-Here.
-Excellent.

-Look at this three of a kind.
-You can't do that, Waldir!

-We said no to that.
-It's my turn, isn't it?

-The one who asks...
-Okay, I take one and...

Raul Fagnani!

Raul?

Who are you?

Lígia Vazquez.

-Mi husband...
-Has disappeared?

Excuse me.

He met with some friends
to play football yesterday.

He plays every Friday.
But he hasn't come back.

Yesterday?
With all due respect, Lígia,

but it's been a few hours
since you last heard of him.

Are you sure you want
to start an investigation?

You don't know Ciro.

He's very methodical.

He always attends
his commitments.

He was supposed to be back home
at around ten.

I've called him several times.

His name is Ciro. Surname?

Vazquez.

Wait, your husband is...

Ciro Vazquez?
"The" Ciro Vazquez?

From Operation
"Vento no Litoral"?

That arrested
all those congressman?

-Right.
-He's the man of the moment

at the Public
Prosecution Office.

Why have you come to my agency

instead of going to the police?

I can't let the politics world
know about this.

This can't become public.

At least not before we know
what happened.

Do you know if he received
any threats or anything?

He's one of the main prosecutors
at the Public Prosecution Office

in São Paulo.

He's always stressed,
but nothing out of the ordinary.

He's super correct.

He hasn't come back
or got in touch with me.

Something bad
must have happened!

-I'm sorry. I moved everything.
-You did.

Did you find him?

No, but I found out
plays football every Friday.

He always goes to the bar,
but he didn't go yesterday.

-Maybe Ciro has a...?
-Lover?

I pressured the guy.
He thinks he doesn't,

but he wouldn't bet his life
on him.

I wouldn't either.

He's the goalkeeper.

He catches all the ba*ls
to make everyone else happy.

He has to have an escape valve.

Why are you being so suspicious?
Do you feel guilty?

Have you taken a detour?

Listen.

What I do outside my house
doesn't concern my wife.

That's out deal.

I see. How long have you been
having doubts about separating?

When was the last time
you had sex?

-You need sex.
-Me?

If you had sex
as often as you complain...

This is a horrible song.

You got nervous!
Don't touch my radio.

-Horrible? What do you mean?
-This is music, you see?

The other thing was suffering.

Mrs. Lígia, I need
all the information possible,

so that my algorithm
finds out his email password.

Either that,
or we wait one more week.

Is that what you prefer?

Seven...

No. The investigation
is just getting started.

I'll contact you as soon as
I have more information.

These women are impossible!
I can't stand them!

They must take something.
It's impossible!

Have you traced the car
down yet?

Yes. He left
the football field from Jardins.

He went to Trianon Park
and stayed there for a while.

Then Água Branca.

Is this his car?

Lígia mentioned this plate
to Tai.

The car has been here
since last night.

Why would he come
to Trianon Park?

He wasn't with a woman.

He was with a man.

He drove by the main
male prostitution spot

in São Paulo and parked opposite
the most famous g*y disco.

It makes sense.

Ciro finds a guy
and takes him to the disco.

According to order,
they got one drink and left.

Every person entering that place

fills out a form
with their email address.

I found his name there,
along with other 200 names.

So...

I crossed his name
with other people's names

on the police database

and found some coincidences.

-Wow!
-Good idea.

Thank you.

But it was Maria Júlia's idea.

She found the list.

Kennedy Pires, 19 years old.
Arrested for as*ault.

He was seen quarreling
with a male prost*tute

at Trianon Park.

So, Ciro picked him up
at Trianon Park

and took him to the disco.

Then they went somewhere else.
It makes sense.

They must have gone to a motel.
But they had been drinking.

They couldn't drive,
so left the car there

and booked a car over an app.

Do you have his email address?

I couldn't get his password,
but, in compensation for that,

I got this.

Prepaid credit card.

Many purchases of clothes.
Fragrances. Trips.

Flight tickets. Hotels.
All of that with this card.

-Raul?
-Yes?

The prosecutor's wife
is at the cafe, very nervous.

Okay. Waldir?

When Tai finds out
about the driver that took them,

try to make him talk.

-The driver from the app?
-Yes.

Tai, do this.

Tell Maria Júlia to investigate
his criminal records.

When you hack into his email,
send everything to me.

Where is Ciro, Raul?

Why haven't I got an answer yet?

We've just started
investigating.

That's not a good answer.

Everything indicates
that your husband

is with a male prost*tute.

That's crazy, Raul!

Mi husband is conservative.

He's known for defending
the family.

He's a member
of Sociedad Brasilera...

We know for sure that he was
with a male prost*tute.

They went together
to a g*y disco in Água Branca.

I want you...

to promise me...

this won't become public.

I HACKED INTO HIS EMAIL.
HE LEFT THE DISCO BY TAXI.

What's going on?

HE WENT TO LIMÃO.

I don't work with promises.

But we'll try to do our best.

Do what you have to do.

Money won't be a problem.

But find Ciro
before the press does.

Tai?

I give you 20
for the ride we won't take.

And 20 more for the information
you're going to give me now.

No, man. I don't meddle
in other people's lives.

Keep that. I'm fine.

Friend, listen to me.

I have many different ways

to get that information
from you.

I'm choosing
the most comfortable one.

I'll take one. So...

Yesterday, you took
a very important passenger

to a g*y disco in Água Branca.

I think he was with a young man.

Where did they go?

They guy asked me to take them
to a bar in Lapa.

But he received a call.

He asked me to change the route,
and I took him there.

What did he say over the phone?

He was angry

because he didn't want
to change the route.

But it seemed pretty urgent.

I don't know.
The conversation was weird.

They young man and him
were like two strangers.

What do you mean?

I don't know.

The older one, who looked rich,

gave the guy a weird look.

Like this?

No, not like that.

He didn't want to sleep
with him.

-No?
-He gave him a weird look.

Like a sad look, you know?

What did they talk about?

They didn't talk.

The older man
talked over the phone.

But they didn't say a word
to each other.

-I see.
-That's all.

May I?

Thanks.

Have you seen the photo
I sent you?

I don't like any of this.

I don't know why the hell
you want to chase those guys.

I heard what they were saying.

They would make
a transaction today.

At that parking lot.

They are big.

They sell to every country
in South America.

And you thought that I was going
to confront them?

I'm just a police officer.

You shouldn't get involved
in that.

If you did this, you might stop
being just a police office.

Why do you give this to me?

Why would I give it
to someone else?

One more thing.

If you work with Raul,
there are always more things.

Ciro Vazquez, the prosecutor.

I need his criminal "reports".

You mean "records", right?

I thought you were from here.

I'm not.

Ciro Vazquez? Isn't that the man
from that operation?

"Vento no Litoral". Yes, him.

He's missing?

You know.
The investigation is discreet.

Sure. From what I know, Vazquez
is linked to an investigation

for organ trafficking.

Vazquez is honest.
Nobody can buy him.

Maybe he disappeared
because of that.

Maria Júlia?

We came to the address
that Tai sent to us.

The question is,
why did Ciro changed the route?

Why did he bring the kid here?

It's a strange place.

Hi.

Hi.

What can I offer you, boss?

A cognac of "Alcatrão".

Okay.

Cold night, right? It's good
to drink something strong.

Earmuffs would be good.

Some cuddles...

I can help you.
Just tell me what you like.

Men, women, transvestites.
Just tell me.

My friend was here last night.

Me told me good things
about this place.

I try not to meddle
in what happens in the rooms.

That's why people pay for them.

Does my friend always come here?

First time yesterday.
He didn't belong in here.

Just like you, you know?

The room number is on the key.

"The supreme art of w*r
is to subdue the enemy

without even fighting.

Regards from your friend R. A."

Do you know this medicine?

Flunitrazepam?

It's a medicine
what works as a sedative.

This prosecutor is linked
to organ trafficking, isn't he?

Yes, we need to see if one thing
is linked to the other one.

What about that book?

"The Art of w*r", Sun Tzu.

There's a dedication here.

This sign...

R. A. Two stars. 12QMP.

R. A. First Lieutenant.

Twelfth Quad
of the Military Police.

You see? You are good
when you put a lot of effort.

Go there tomorrow.

Look for the First Lieutenant
with these initials. R. A.

-¿R. A.?
-Come on, guys.

If you take longer,
we'll have to pay the hour.

Can I ask you something?

The woman you found

that's involved
in ill*gal adoptions...

Mirtes.

Do you think

it will lead you to Sofia
after all these years?

I don't know.

I don't know if Mirtes
will lead me to Sofia, Waldir.

I don't even know if she exists.

I don't know anything.

I tell you thins
because you need to know,

if there's a small chance
to find Sofia,

-you can count on me.
-I appreciate that.

-Raul?
-I get it. I know.

They are delayed.

Damn it.

Police! Put your hands up!

Pull him up.

Done. Here you have.

Up.

There's nothing for you.

We will see.

Let's go.

Did you do all this

just for ill*gal possession
of weapons?

My lawyer takes me out tomorrow.

You should worry

about what your informants
are saying,

not about my carrying a weapon.

Let's take everyone
to the police station.

Now!

Damn it!

Why did I open my mouth?

Listen to me!

What's all this?

Those men have nothing!

You'd better answer my calls.

Do you know Mirtes?

I'm not a cop.

I just want to talk
about Mirtes.

Hold on, man.
I'm talking to her.

People are cold.
I'll help you hand them over.

Mirtes used to work here
with us.

But it was a long ago.

Don't you know anything else
about her?

She was a troubled woman.

She had a huge weight...

on her shoulders.

She worked here for a while.

I tried taking her
to the spiritualist center.

Maybe she would heal.

But she said it was useless.

Are you close to her?

Somehow I am.

Last time I knew about her,

she was living
in a nursing home.

Do you know where?

It's very cold.

-Thanks!
-Amazing, Waldir.

Take the small one. I'm thirsty.

Where are Raul and Maria Júlia?

They can't be in a motel.

I'm not so sure!

Why? Did she say anything, Tai?

Tai?

Tai?

I like you!

Carolina is pretty.

HELLO. HOW ARE YOU?

Go on a date with her.
Just drop your phone.

-Yes, right?
-Yes.

Yes. I will.

I'm leaving. Bye.

Bye.

-We never...
-No.

I think not.

We've been working together
for so long

and we never had a drink
just the two of us.

We didn't.

But if you have to go,
don't worry. I'm good.

No. Of course not.

I was thinking about getting
something stronger.

I love it.

Have you ever tried
the "submarino"?

No, but I'm open to new things.

CANDY PALACE

Hi, Guiomar.

Come in.

Are you okay, dear?

You never asked me
to come here before.

What happened?

I needed to talk to you.

I want to know...

Who is my dad?

Who is the man on this photo?

Who is he? A criminal?
A hero? A b*stard?

-Who is he?
-Your dad was an ordinary man.

He had virtues, temptations.

Melina?

You don't what it's like
to be chased

during ten or 15 years
of your life,

to be in a w*r.

Your dad fought by my side
in the trenches.

In the underground
of the struggle.

It was not easy!

I saw that man

switching sides.

Doubting. Selling weapons.

Who is he?

Both.

You can't choose.

VÀNIA PIRES
SPECIALIZED ATTORNEY

MILITARY POLICE
LIST OF THE ONES WHO PASSED

Raul?

Write down the address
of Kennedy's mother.

Why are you in a hurry?

Don't you feel the need to know
what we will find out?

Hi, Waldir.

I talked to a guy,
First Lieutenant Roberto Aguia.

R. A.? The initials
on the book, right?

Exactly.

Some time ago,
he gave that book as a gift

to Sergeant Torres,

a good man with a family
that never gets in trouble.

I don't know how Torres
is linked to this case.

I guess you have Torres' numbe.

Number and address, boss.

Send the information
to Maria Júlia's phone, please.

It's the same address
that we're heading to.

-What?
-It's the same address.

It's Vânia's house.

Hi, Kennedy.

Did you know Ciro already,

or did you meet
for the first time on Friday?

I never looked for him.
My mom told me not to,

She told me he was an authorit,

that people like us should
just look down and shut up.

I never had a father.

I learnt to live like that.

Wait.

That man got Vânia pregnant
when she was 16.

He abandoned them.

He was too important
to take charge.

And pay for the milk.

He showed up here,
said some guys were after him.

He needed to talk to the kid.

I talked to Vânia,

and we thought
we'd better be alert.

If those guys learnt
Kennedy is his son,

they could use him as a bait.

-Vânia...?
-We are not married.

We've been living together
for a long time.

We wanted him to have
a good upbringing, but still...

I might have been my last chane
to talk to my father.

I give you a house,

I give you food,

and your father
is the one that's perfect now?

I never judged anyone.

Not even him and his life.

Uncle!

I wanted to know if I could tak
to Kennedy in private.

What do you say, Kennedy?

Do you know how Ciro found out
where you were?

How did you know
where to find you?

Talk to me, Kennedy.

If you don't do it here,

we'll have talk
in front of your stepfather.

No.

My uncle can't know what I do.

Nobody knows.

When he and my mom
found out I was g*y,

they started controlling
all the time.

On the weekend,
he's at the station.

And my mother sleeps deeply.

I always sneak out.

That's the only way
I get to make money.

It's difficult.

I don't think
you know what it's like.

To have a double life.

Not to be able to say
who you really are.

And what about Ciro?

He's a friend.

He said they've been asking
about me.

Since he's a prosecutor,
he said I was interested.

And he gave them
the information.

When he arrived there,
did you recognize him?

I didn't.

I thought he was a client.

Why did you take him
to the disco?

We receive a commission
for what a client consumes.

That's why I took him there.

What about the room?

I didn't know him.
Actually, my father...

Ciro.

Ciro was going to take me
to a bar.

He received a call
and got really upset.

He asked the driver
to change the route.

When we entered the room,
he searched for some things.

-What things?
-He didn't tell me either.

When we finished talking,
I left.

He stayed there, alone.

And I forgot my book there.

I showed him some things
from my uncle.

I see.

It's okay, Kennedy.

Of course, sir.

Don't worry.
I'll set the Argentinians free.

There's no...

Yes, sir. That's correct.

Yes. It was a reliable source,
but unfortunately...

That b*stard hang up on me.

And you? What do you want?

I know I've been asking
too much lately, right?

The truth is, we've been workig
really well at the agency.

Here is what you asked for,
for a change.

I called a friend in Homicides.

They arrested two men
for the m*rder of a prosecutor

two months ago.

This prosecutor
worked with Ciro Vazquez

at the organ trafficking
task force.

But one of them
was set free last week

on a writ of habeas corpus.

Delcio Tavares, known as Xerif.

They are about to mess up.

It looks like it.

What's that?

What?

It's Kennedy.

It looks like
he's about to mess up as well.

Damn it!

I'll talk to him.

What are you doing here?

The question is,
what are you doing here?

I came to look for my father.
I want to know if he came back.

Listen, we were hired
to do that.

You need to wait back home,
where you are safe.

Would you wait
if it was your father?

I've spent 19 years
waiting to meet him.

When I finally got to it,
he disappeared.

Kid, go home. Wait for me ther.
I'll let you know.

Wait!

-Calm down!
-Hold on.

Calm down.

-What are you doing here?
-Where's my father?

-Calm.
-Where is he?

-Tell me where he is!
-What are you doing? Let him g.

-Tell me where he is!
-Calm!

-Breathe.
-We'll find your father.

What the hell is this, Raul?

What's going on? Tell me!

-Kennedy!
-It's my father!

-Is my father in there?
-No!

-It's my father!
-It's not!

It's not your father!

It's not your father!

Let's get out of here.

What it going to happen to him?

The paramedics
said he lost a lot of blood.

Where's my father?

I still don't know, Kennedy.

I'm sorry.

What the hell was that?

Dama, we were looking
for a client,

but we came across this.

I can't believe
you always get in trouble.

Dama, I was doing my job.

I didn't know I'd find a man
with a missing kidney

in a bath tub.

I'll take you to the station.

You are all witnesses
of attempted m*rder.

Or just m*rder! I don't know
if he's going to live.

-Let's go.
-Dama.

The kid has no father.
Have a little compassion.

I'll go talk to him quickly.

Don't you think we should talk
about the Argentinians?

You told me they were worse
than Pablo Escobar.

They didn't even have weed
in their suitcases.

-I'm sorry, Dama.
-Listen to me, girl!

I don't know what your plan is,
but if you think you can use m,

forget about it.

You'll have me to deal with
if you do it again.

Damn it!

Hi, Melina.

What are you doing here?

You used to call me "godfather.

I liked that.

Now you turn me in
to the police.

Time goes by.

People change.

You're very courageous, Melina.

You thought
I'd never find out about you.

Your men should have done
a better job

when they ran over me.

I didn't order that.

I would never do that
to my niece.

Next time, Ramírez,
you'd better get me k*lled.

As long as I live...

You didn't understand
anything, Melina!

You're so young.

Do you think if wanted to,
you'd still be breathing?

I don't want to k*ll you.

I never did.

I love you.

I saw you grow up.

Tell me, then.

Where's my father?

Your partner. Your friend.

You k*lled him, b*stard!

I k*lled him?

Are you mad, Melina?

I'd never k*ll Oscar.
He just ran away from all of u.

From me too.

Who do you think
your father is, Melina?

He gave this to me.
Actually, he didn't.

I just found out
he wanted to give it to me.

Look for your father.

It's fair.

I would look for him too.

But forget about me.

I'm not a man
you should mess with.

Who is being kept in there?
Is it Ciro?

I don't know. Maybe.

What are we going to do?

What?

-What are you doing, Waldir?
-Waldir!

Damn it!

-What are you doing?
-We'll make them talk.

I know I sometimes
like playing thug,

but there must be
another man inside.

Yes, Ciro,
with half of his organs

being kept in a cooler with ic.

I don't recognize you, Raul.
Shall we?

Don't slack off now!

Put your hands up! Turn around!

Get off! Don't you dare!

Get off! Now!

-Stand there.
-Come on.

Stand there.

There.

Waldir.

I'm going in.

To the back!

To the back of the truck.

Come on. Come on, kittens.

Don't move!

Walk.

Walk. There. Open the door.

All of you, against the wall.
Put your hands up.

Now!

Put your hands up!

We got you at last, b*stards!

Are you okay?

Let me untie you.

Are you okay? Come here, Ciro!

You must be the two people
who cause me more trouble.

We facilitate you this arrest

and dismantle
an organ trafficking g*ng,

and you complain? For real?

Let me tell you
I completely agree with Raul.

Raul?

I want to say sorry.

You've been very nice to me.

Nice, but in a strange way.

I should have told you
about my father

and the investigation
I'm carrying.

And the accident.

I'm sorry.

In "Ausentes", we all have

our ghosts, our demons.

Nobody asks too many questions,
and we all move forward.

But we never lie to each other.

You know?

Would you like a candy?

No, thanks.

Your life is bitter enough
already, Maria Júlia.

How do you feel?

Alive.

Dad!

I'm sorry, son.

If you let me try,
give me a chance.

I can try to be

your friend.

I can try to be your father.

I'm sorry.

I'm happy you're alive, dad.

Ciro.

What about Lígia?

On Thursday, she went sleep
all crazy like she is.

On Friday, she woke up,
and her husband was missing.

On Saturday, she found out
his husband was g*y

and was with a male prost*tute.

Nothing happened on Sunday.

What does she find out
on Monday?

That her husband is the father
of a male prost*tute.

Isn't it the craziest weekend
of her life?

-You're going to tell her that.
-Me?

No. Maria Júlia.

No, Waldir. You go.

You need to take credit
for this.

You can be
a sensitive person too.

I think she is flattering me.

-Let's go.
-Is she flattering me?

You are stuck-up,
aren't you, Waldir?

Come here, son.

I know why you are here.

I know what you're looking for.

I know what you're looking for.
