03x03 - Redenção

[bunniefuu]

It's a beautiful day
today. Don't you agree?

I gave up on the shared custody action.

Good to know. I have been thinking
a lot about the upbringing I had.

In my relationship with my
mother... I can't do differently, Marcos.

Catarina, I understand you
to some extent. We are from

another generation, one with
a stricter, harsher upbringing.

But times have changed. And
thankfully, they are different.

I have always felt pressured. I have
always felt, like... punished, you know?

Being born a girl made
me a burden to my mother.

And I'm seeing this story repeating
itself with your daughter.

She never believed in me, Marcos.

You are repeating a behavior that you
don't even believe in anymore, Catarina.

Marcos, I don't want to lose my
daughter. I don't want to lose Valentina.

I don't want and I won't lose Valentina.
You won't.

Like my mom lost me.

EPISODE 03: REDEMPTION

Today is a day of
celebration. So, I'm declaring

a holiday for the Campos
& Albuquerque family!

Is today a holiday?

Yes! A holiday for our family,
buddy. Today is a pool day!

So this holiday even
has a specific place, huh?

Yes, there is! And both
of you must be there.

So, just for today, no school. And no work!
We're on vacation!

Vacation... Let's put your
swim trunks on you! Shall we?

Vacation! Vacation! Vacation!
Woohoo! Let's enjoy it!

Hello? Yes, speaking.

When?

Okay, got it! I'll check my email as
soon as I can and get back to you.

Thank you! You have a good one too.

Psst! What's going on?

An invitation to a big campaign.

Why do you have that
look on your face, Valentina?

Because initially it's
two weeks in São Paulo.

We're already missing you then.

Shall we go?
Let's go!

Oh, my love, I'm going to miss you so
much! But hey... congratulations, alright?

Thank you! I'm happy! I'm
happy that things are working out...

especially now that we are
going to move in together.

Yes, it will be great indeed.
But what worries me...

how are you going to
handle the move by yourself?

We're going to figure
it out and let's just say

that I have someone in
mind to help me already.

One...

Don't you... think it's time to answer
your mother's calls? No.

She's trying.

What? Do you want to film me saying that?

Because it's hard for me to admit!
Oh, really?

You can record it! You
probably won't ever hear

me saying that again.
I mean it. Never again!

Oh, come on, Valentina.
Your nephew is asking you:

"Forgive her, auntie! She's
your family. Come on, auntie!"

Duda, focus here! I have a lot
of work to do! "I miss you auntie!"

Make sure you respect my
work schedule, alright?

Oh... and speaking of that... Could you
please not tell Luiza about that situation?

I don't know if I can do that!

Please, Dudley! It will be
better this way, trust me.

Please. Oh, Valentina! Make sure
you respect my work schedule, alright?

Uh! Your nephew is here
asking: "Let my mom work

in peace, will you?
Don't mess with her head!"

You started it.

Hey, I found a photo here. Wow!

Mine? Yep.

You look really hot. Seriously.
Oh! I want to see it.

Chip will go crazy. I'm
going to send it to him!

Hey, sister. What's that look for?

I'm going to miss my wife so much!
Hm!

But I will be right here
with you all the time!

Help me! Stay!

Geez, does your high school
romance never end? In a few years... No!

They will be praying that
one of them go on a trip.

Then, you miss each other! It's a
pleasant feeling! Very pleasant!

Okay, everyone. The
snacks are just about ready.

Does anyone want more wine?
I'll have some!

I'm good too. Not today. And now with all
due respect, I want to propose a toast.

Oh!

First, I want to propose
a toast to this wonderful

campaign. To the model. To
the newest model in the family.

To the most talented and sought-after
photographer of the moment.

And of course, to the
most beautiful, intelligent,

talented, and pregnant
production director!

Cheers, family!
Cheers! Yay!

Mother... How are you?

I hope you are well.

I'm sending this message... to
ask why did you never believe

and never encourage me to go after
my desires, my choices,

and my dreams?

Despite the battles
you didn't help me face,

I am very proud of everything
I achieved on my own.

My comfort. My reputation.

My value. Even being a woman...

I couldn't conquer the most
important thing in my life, mom.

The love of my daughter.
The love of Valentina, mom.

But today I understand.
Today I understand.

I understand that... my
frustrations with our relationship

cannot and will not
perpetuate with Valentina.

They cannot and will not
perpetuate! I won't allow it.

This has to end.

Thank you, mom. I have to...

I have to gather my
strength. I, I have to...

I have to... I have to
change my attitude.

That's it, mom! I have
to change my attitude

to win back my daughter's love.

Thank you, mom.

Thank you for giving birth
to me and for giving me

the chance to be a mother.
To learn to be a mother.

Today, I forgive you. Be at peace, my
mother! Be at peace wherever you are.

I will gather my strength here,
mom. To reclaim what I lost.

Thank you, Valentina. Thank
you for being my daughter.

I got hoodies, pants, shirts, and
now I'm going to get some earrings.

Psst! Go ahead! Go ahead!
Then I will have everything I need.

Hey! Buddy! You two, in my face!

I'm going to take you
with me in my suitcase!

Wow, Leo, is she going to take
you? So, okay, go, get in here!

I won't let you. We're going to stay in
the pool! Oh really? In the pool? How nice!

I'm going to miss you so much. Me too!
We're going to enjoy a lot. Right, son?

Oh, can you help me fold the clothes now.

One for you... Whoa, this is going to be
bad. Come on! It's going to be hard work.

We got ourselves in trouble, right?
Yes. We got ourselves in trouble.

Oh, you two...

I don't believe it. Seriously.

Hey, Luh!
Hey, love! I miss you!

What's that little smile, Valentina?

My father just sent me a picture.
I will forward it to you to see.

It's the cutest thing in the world!
Okay! Send it to me. I want to see.

Oh my! They seem to be having a lot of fun!

Right? Dirt everywhere.
Who would have thought?

Is a new Catherine blooming, perhaps?
Yes... could that be the case?

Well, eh... today was amazing.
But look, I'm exhausted!

I need to hang up, okay? The
photo sh**t starts early tomorrow.

Alright, my love! Get some
rest. Good job and good luck!

Kisses!
Give Leo a kiss for me.

I can't sleep. I miss
Mama. Can I watch a DVD?

Yes, you can.

Whoa!

I picked out a really cool DVD for us.

I'm eating, love. I want
to show this little guy here,

who hasn't even been born yet, how
much he's already awaited and loved by us!

Right? Is that me in your belly?

Yes, it's you, my love. You were so small.

And now I'm going to film the
most beautiful woman in all of Brazil!

How is it possible, right?

The little guy hasn't
even been born yet and

has already awakened
the greatest love in me.

You're special! The most special woman.

Mine! Mine!

Did you feel it?
He loves listening to your voice!

My God! I'm looking forward
to meeting you, little guy!

Spun... 5,6,7,8... Spin again!

Hey, people!

Luh, sorry for the delay.

Finally, my favorite
latecomer has arrived, right?

It's because today I
brought... a substitute

teacher. I mean, a very
cute substitute teacher!

My love!

Hey! This way you tease me, Valentina.

And I love teasing you!
Is that so?

Mmm-hmm!

Even more so when you look
stunning and very serious, you know?

Do you think so?
Mmm-hmm!

I missed you dearly!
Me too!

Mom!
Hey, my love!

So much longing!

How are you, my star?

Thank you!

I'm fine!
Really?

I have a surprise for you!

Why don't you invite Aninha so we
can play soccer at Mengão's field?

Yay!

Can I invite Gui too?
Yes, you can!

Today you can do whatever you want, son.
I'm going to ask his mother, okay?

Okay.
Go ahead!

He's really handsome. Seriously!

The little one fell asleep.

I thought you had fallen
asleep along with him.

Whoa... What a warm welcome, huh?

What are you...
Wow! It's late, isn't it? Let's go to bed?

What's going on, Valentina?
