01x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

[tense music playing]

Who are you visiting?

You.

Sent by who exactly?

[ominous music playing]

It was God.

God isn't in here, miss.

Only this book gets me through.
In here, it's the Bible or else it's--

Or it's God sending you
the help you've been waiting for.

You talk directly to God?

Then you take him a message.
Tell Him I wanna see my son.

It's Bruno, right?

You look alike.

I'm studying your case in law school.

I'm Inez's student.

I know you already have a lawyer,
but I really think that I could--

Look, lady,

I don't go back on my word.

He's been hired, and it's done.

God be with you.

[ominous music continues]

-Hey man.
-How's it going, brother?

[sighs]

You ain't leavin'?

I ain't no quitter.

Oh, yeah? Where you learn
to talk like that? In college?

People who look like us
learn it the hard way.

You know, my son, he's nine years old.

-So I understand how you're feeling.
-You teach him to ride a bike?

You play tooth fairy
when his teeth fall out?

-Then you don't get it.
-Yes, I do.

Eight years away from my mom.

She was put in prison.
And she was innocent, too.

[tense music playing]

You don't think I did it?

Are you sure?

I am.

That look.

My mom looks at me the same way.

What look?

Like you don't know
how to ask for help anymore.

[tense music playing]

This lawyer who said he was gonna help,

Murilo Villar.

Did he tell you
he also represents Renata Vasquez?

Isn't that strange?

He doesn't care, he's just out to use you.

-Like your professor.
-No.

Inez is different.

She got my mom out.

That's what she does. Criminal review.

-She's been able to get judgments--
-I know what it is.

Then you know how complicated it is
to get a conviction overturned.

No one ever gets that.

She got it for us. For my mom.

She'll get you the same thing, I swear.

He only agreed
when I gave him two options.

To be one more piece
on the board for Renata Vasquez,

or to get his defense from someone
who fights against corruption.

Ah, dang! Getting big for your britches!

It's honestly impressive.

At a single shot, she's managed to suck up
to prof, and say she's better than her.

No, and if you were there
in your little Zegna suit,

-he'd be just as suspicious.
-Ooh!

With a background like Jonathan's,

it's difficult separating bad guys
from the good ones.

[scoffs] You'll have
to give me pointers later on. [laughs]

No. It's just, I understand Jonathan.
I speak his language.

Everybody, let's begin searching for signs
of illegalities in the proceedings.

Lima and Raquel,
you'll talk to Anderson again.

But what should we tell him?

Tell the truth, that you're attempting
to get his brother out of jail.

First, shouldn't we be totally sure
that he's really innocent?

That's not the most important thing.

It's not?

Our job is to find illegalities
in the conviction.

All people have a right to a fair trial,
whether they're guilty or not.

Marina, you come with me.

We'll go to the prison
to hear Jonathan's side of the story.

In his language.

[tense music playing]

Send me your address,
I'll be there at 7:00.

No worries, I can get to your house.

I have a car, it's no problem.

It's super out of the way,
I'll meet you at 7:00.

Look, go now, now, now.

Inez, Inez. What do you need us to do?

You're gonna review case files.

Of course, but it's a one-person job
and I know them by heart.

Listen, my thinking is,
meet up with Neusa and--

-Marina took care of it.
-Of course she did.

Look for mistakes, contradictions.
Whatever you can find.

No prob.

-Get help from Bernardo's dad.
-Awesome.

My address is in the text.
See you at 7:00!

[tense music playing]

[sirens wail, horns honk]

[car horn beeps]

[sighs]

[buzzer sounds]

Door's unlocked, I… I'm running late.

Inez?

[Inez] I'm up here.
Just printing the power of attorney.

It's okay. Don't worry.

[somber music playing]

[Inez] Ugh. Work,
you piece of sh*t! [sighs]

Man, I'm telling you,

if there's one thing
that drives me insane, it's printers.

My theory is that every printer
is suffering from performance anxiety.

The minute you need them,
they can't deliver.

[Inez] Ugh! Oh, come on, printer.
Work with me, God damn it!

[footsteps approaching]

-Shall we?
-Let's go.

[horn honking]

Move it, as*h*le!

[horn continues honking]

So, what do you think of Jonathan?

Hot.

No, really. Your actual thoughts.

Don't you think he seemed resigned?

Um I mean,
a volcano might seem dormant, but then…

So, what's your story?

-Oh, I--
-Go on!

Um, for instance, tell me,
why'd you decide to go to law school?

I, um… Does there need to be a reason?

There typically is.
Let me tell you the most common ones.

Um, money.

A lot of times, it's a family thing.

Mm…

Drawn to humanities,
but not having the ba*ls to do art.

Ideology, and I don't mean anything noble,
might be just be to punish criminals.

-Are you referring to the group?
-Or it's payback, sometimes.

[tense music playing]

Or getting inspired by someone.

That your reason?

Who was it?

Carmen Lúcia?

Ada Pellegrini? Maria Berenice?

It was you.

When I was a kid,
I didn't believe justice really existed.

But then there are lawyers like you.

You could be wearing a Supreme Court robe,
literally rolling in cash,

but you're here,
driving at your own expense,

bright and early,
to visit a man who didn't have a chance.

[somber music playing]

You practically get nothing
out of this work.

You don't just accept things how they are.

Despite, you know… getting almost k*lled.

You heard what happened.

We all know about it.

[Anderson] After our mom died,
he just lost heart.

It was a while after his conviction.

She couldn't stand visiting the jail.

A broken heart is what k*lled her.

Jota couldn't even be at the funeral.

This one here,

he won this at the Gladiator fight.

He really could fight like nobody else.

[ominous music playing]

But only in the cage.

Outside, he was totally chill.

Hard-working,
absolutely jack of all trades.

He's the most honest
and truthful guy in the whole world.

[laughs]

-Make yourselves at home, okay?
-Cool. Thanks, man.

GET READY FOR THE DUEL OF LEGENDS

Hey, was this woman his girlfriend?

That's Letícia.

-Great, we'd love to talk with her.
-She's a traitor.

Jota got arrested
and the next day she skipped town.

-Don't they have a son, though?
-My point exactly.

I don't know my own nephew.

The kid's gotta be, what?
Like seven years old now.

Do you have her address by chance?

[phone vibrating]

I gotta take this.

[ominous music playing]

That was Jonathan using a phone in jail.

Yeah, and? Have you never received
a scam call from someone in jail?

Practically everybody has a phone inside.

Even the most honest
and truthful guy in the whole world?

Lima, isn't it strange
she's never gone to visit her son's dad?

She had bruises
when she went to give her statement.

Who was it
that threw punches like nobody else?

She said you can get me out of here.

Jonathan, let's start with your story.
Tell me in your own words.

What about the day you were arrested?

-[baby crying]
-[officer] Hands up! Get up!

-Hands where I can see them.
-Jonathan!

You get the f*ck away from my family.

Get off me! I ain't done nothing, man.

-Shut up!
-[Letícia screaming]

Game over, lil' b*tch.

-[Jonathan] I didn't do nothing.
-[baby crying]

-Okay, now move. Move!
-I'm going. Okay, I'm going!

[officer] Keep your hands
behind your head.

Letícia! Letícia.

It was the last time I saw Bruno.

When he was born, you know,

I felt like the richest man alive.

My fighting career was taking off.

I was this close to becoming pro.

I was saving money
so I could buy us a place to live.

But then I…

fell asleep in heaven,

and woke up in hell.

Did they bring a warrant?

[scoffs]

They had nothing.

It took forever
to even tell me what I'd done.

They threw me in a room.

It was a small room,
and when I got in there,

it smelled like very sweet perfume.

[tense music playing]

By the time I left,
all I could smell was blood.

My own blood.

When they sent the lawyer in,
I understood.

The guys already ratted you out.

I didn't do anything.

We know who the mastermind is,
everything.

They claimed I was a m*rder*r.

Look, no one's gonna say I was a saint.

But m*rder?

Mm mm. No way.

m*rder had never crossed my mind before.

[sighs] But that day, you bet it did.

I pictured murdering them one by one.

Did you know either of the victims?

Only by sight.

Those kinda people
don't give a f*ck about workers. [scoffs]

Did they explain what proof they had
that you were involved?

Whoever k*lled that guy
and that lady apparently told the police…

I was there too.
It was their word against mine.

-And Evandro and Hélio were acquaintances?
-No.

[intriguing music playing]

Didn't Evandro and you
work at the same time and place?

I'd go there on Thursday afternoons.

I'd just… just do small things
that needed doing in the garden.

I… I didn't know those guys.

There were a bunch of doormen
who worked there back then.

I first saw them at the police station.

[tense music playing]

They chained me to the wall.

They didn't let me sleep for two days.
They didn't talk to me either.

On the third day, they woke me
in the dead of night to talk to Letícia.

The cops were with her,
she couldn't stop crying.

Leti?

Leti, are you there?
Where are you, Letícia?

Then Flávio came
and said there was no way out.

He said if I confessed,
then they'd go easy on me.

And I could be there for Bruno.

And, of course, you did what they said
and confessed to it.

Yeah.

But I should've held out longer.

I told them at the time,

they were wrong,
that it wasn't fair. I screamed, but…

[sighs]

but nobody was listening.

[somber music playing]

So I got tired.

Ma'am, I was already dead.

Six years I've been dead.

But then Marina visited here.

[tense music playing]

-When you said that your mother--
-Can I please hug you?

I'm so sorry.

[sighs]

I truly mean that.

I'm really sorry.

I get not being able
to go after those in power. Okay, sure.

But when some little lawyer
crawls out of the woodwork

to defend victims of society
and mess up our careful planning, then--

You know that Jonathan's testimony
is the most consistent we had.

Then take what isn't consistent
and make it consistent!

Why else am I spending a fortune
on you all, for God's sakes?

[sighs] I apologize, I…

Let's reconnect later on.

[device beeps]

What I would've loved to say is,

the fortune that's been on ice
since the old man's m*rder?

Don't forget that 15 percent
could be ours one day.

What inconsistency
has her freaked out, huh?

The emails fighting over money?
The cell she misplaced?

Or the alibi she never had?

That is perfect, Murilo. Say that to her.

We lose our biggest client,
she goes to jail,

and our careers… [whistles] gone too.

She was convicted once already.

They'll do it again.
Nobody really believes her.

Including yourself, right?

[tense music playing]

That's irrelevant.

Look, my point is,
Jonathan is the only one who confessed

without also accusing Renata
at the same time.

-In lieu of that, I just--
-No, he isn't the only one.

There's Helinho, remember?

To begin with, he accepted blame
for the felony charge

yet he's implicated Renata ever since.

Yeah, and anyway, he's a fugitive.

About that…

I've been in conversation
with my contact on the inside.

The guard, y'know, Pavão.

-'Course you have, Pedro.
-[Ana laughs]

Seems a prisoner handed in a tip
that'd help find Helinho.

Think how fast
we could get him arrested. Easy-peasy.

Right, so he can claim, again, that Renata
is the one who organized things?

-Hey. I'll take care of it.
-Mm.

Huh? Promise him whatever it takes.
C'mon, Ana. Leave it to me.

Pedro, you always possess
boundless energy and self-esteem.

The answer's no.
I don't think it's worth the price.

What if we tried to make the most
of the statement Hélio first gave

to invalidate the others?

[tense music playing]

Are you insane, Murilo?

How do we explain that to a judge?

That route
is completely off limits to us now.

You're right. Yeah. Let's be…

Let's approach this more calmly
so it doesn't go south on us.

Sure, it's up to you.

That said, boy,
I doubt Inez would think twice

about going pedal to the metal
down that path.

[tense music swells]

Jonathan referred to your mother.

What was that about?

When was this?

You know what I'm talking about.

Um… Mm…

Oh, no, I think
what he meant to say was, uh…

"You're a mother." He said I was a mother.

Are you?

Yeah.

I was only 15.

The dad was a classic case. Ran off.

I don't talk about it that much,
I only mentioned it because…

I guess, it was a personal angle.

A thing we have in common.

Isn't it better to be personal?

Good plan.

You have earned his trust.

It's gotta be hard to be going to college
and have a child at your age, though.

Oh. There are plenty of happy times.

My amazing boyfriend helps me raise him.

Did you want kids?

Wanting kids isn't the same
as being able to.

Law came first.

Kind of, I suppose.

At one point, I wanted kids.

I was… I was in a relationship,
I loved someone insanely.

Was it Murilo?

I was actually pregnant when I got shot.

I'm sure I had it coming, though. [laughs]

"Lacking any kind of evidence,
this claim is clearly vexatious

on its face and requires dismissal."

"Vexatious on its face?"

"Requires dismissal?"

Hey.

What're you doing, dude?

[sighs] Trying to remind myself I rock.

Look bro, I gotta do something
about this thing with Marina.

She's gotten too tight with Inez.

Man, can I give you a little advice?
You sound jealous. Come on, get over it.

Ugh. I've only ever
been jealous of Beyoncé.

This girl I just don't trust.

Why, because she's brilliant as sh*t?

Look man, my intuition doesn't lie.
You hear me?

I knew something was wrong with Britney
the moment I first heard Blackout.

I honestly don't know
what's more difficult to understand,

-you or what's written here.
-Hm.

Come on, look it up.
"Vexatious litigation."

Spell that out.

Give it here.

What's this?

Delivery.

Just exploring menu options.
A boy's gotta eat.

[laughs] You get around!

-Don't pretend you're not a player.
-Yeah, right.

f*ck, are you serious here, man?

Parelheiros? The guy didn't even try.

What the hell?

Ah. Okay, I'll tell you what.
Tell you what.

Forget it, they're both chicken sh*t.

They don't want Helinho
since he could screw up--

Dad! Dad, we're right here.

Oh! Uh, Pavo, here's what you do.

Send over the location,
the address, whatever. You never know.

Okay. Talk to you later. Bye.

Uh, could you help us with something, sir?

Sir? Sir, my a*s. Gimme a break
with this f*cking "sir."

-Hit me.
-You a gym guy?

Nah, Sorry. Just kidding around,
uh… What's vexatious litigation mean?

-Bê. Gimme one of these.
-[phone pings]

Uh, what's the context?

Uh, like a low blow,
an unfair act, a dirty play.

[phone keyboard keys clacking]

Is this for Inez?

Any progress?

Ah, not so fast.

With rivals,
we just share pizza, not pointers.

-Hm.
-Then again, we can negotiate.

You scratch my back
and I scratch yours. Equality of arms.

This kid'll be a hell of a lawyer one day.

-[Bernardo] Dad.
-Nah.

-Dad.
-Hmm?

-Come here for a second.
-Oh.

-Oh, I know what that means.
-[laughs]

-Gonna get ear full.
-Best of luck.

-[Bernardo] Just come.
-What is it? What have I done?

Be right back.

This house has seen better pizza.

This is trash. Seriously, man.

[Bernardo] He's just here
to work on our project, so can you just…?

[Pedro] I don't get
to meet your friends?

-Can't grab pizza?
-[Bernardo] It's not a hang out.

Alright, alright,
I'll let you guys be. Okay. Hm.

It's nice meeting you. Later.

-Alright.
-Next time, pizza's on me.

What were we doing?

-You're leaving?
-I just found a snack.

[tense music playing]

Oh, let me take the tablet.
I… I need the notes I took.

-My notes are on it too!
-I'll give it back tomorrow.

Uh, the password again?

It's vascaoliberta98.

All lowercase, Kim.

[tense music continues]

Neusa's right there. I'll stall her, okay?

Raíssa! [laughs]

-Oh, Raíssa.
-Hi, Mrs. Neusa. Ah!

Oh my dear,
I don't know how I can possibly thank you,

but God is gonna reward you double.

Look, she sent me her resume,

I don't know if you need it
but I thought I should bring it anyway.

Now I'm not bragging
just because she's my daughter,

but she's multi-talented.

What's wrong, dear? Why're you sad?

Mrs. Neusa, this is my instructor Inez.

She's a lawyer
and she'd like to talk to you.

Neusa?

My good Lord, but what have I done?

Can we talk?

[Marina] Can we go in?

-I suppose so.
-Mm.

Mrs. Neusa,

we're not here
to get you into any trouble.

[tense music playing]

I know you weren't sure
who was really in those photos,

but we're just trying
to be faithful to the truth.

You're really something,
aren't you, missy?

If you actually cared about honesty,
I'd know your real name.

-It's Marina.
-[scoffs]

Can you believe this girl?
Do you trust her?

This one'll mislead you
and mislead you again.

She said she was going
to get my daughter a job.

And how can you sleep at night,

when an innocent man
is behind bars for the rest of his life?

You're not pregnant either, are you?

-You're really just gonna leave--
-Marina, enough. Let it go.

Wait in the car, okay?

[tense music continues]

Mrs. Neusa,
what are you actually afraid of?

You, of course.

What reason do you have to be scared?

I might have come here with a complaint
against you for false testimony.

Article 342. Two to four years in prison.

Instead, I just want
to have a conversation with you.

Ma'am I swear
I didn't mean to hurt anyone.

[tense music continues]

Oh, I don't know.

The haircut is the same, but I don't know.

-I just can't be certain.
-Didn't the chief explain to you?

This is just protocol, Mrs. Neusa.

We're talking about a m*rder*r
who's already confessed.

His lawyer is right there.

Unless you're trying to protect someone?

No, God help me,
I'm only trying not to hurt anyone.

[officer] I don't get what the problem is.

[Flávio] Mrs. Neusa, I know you're tired.

All of us are getting tired here.

Just help us get this over with.

[tense music continues]

-Come on.
-And?

-She agreed to revise her statement.
-[sighs]

-She'll rectify her testimony.
-[sighs]

Inez, if I could explain.

I lied about my name
to Neusa since I--

No. No, you don't need to explain, Marina.

You remind me of myself
when I was younger.

Just,

you better be careful.

It all catches up.

[ominous music playing]

[bar music and chatter]

Gonna be a while, boy?
You know the meter's running, right?

Awesome for you, isn't it, old man?

[ominous music playing]

Give me two minutes.

Good to go.
Now take us straight to the police.

KIM
AREN'T YOU COMING?

He's on his way and he has our tablet
with our notes and everything--

Okay, fine. Go ahead.

Well, we talked to Jonathan's brother,
like I said. And I--

Then Raquel got suspicious, since Letícia,
who was Jonathan's girl--

Right, and they had a child together.

When he was arrested, she was with him

so why would she choose
to never come and visit him?

Anderson wouldn't say anything,
not so much as "here's her address."

-Maybe he has no clue about where she is.
-But we didn't stop there.

I've got her address here.

I might end up regretting asking
but how did you manage to find it?

Go on.

Raquel's a ninja!

Ha. He's exaggerating. All I really had
to do was track her down online.

But her last name was no help.

So I looked up her mother's name,
which was included in her statement.

Her mother's over 40, so I thought,
she'll be on Facebook, right?

{\an8}But her profile was private.
So first, I had to map her interests.

{\an8}Then, I made a fake account.

She accepted my friend request.

I went straight to her photos and I found
the school Letícia's son attends,

which, by the way,
is nearby in the countryside.

Then I just had to be patient.

[laughs] Where on earth
did you learn to do all that?

There are perks to being cheated on.

I think we should go
to Apiaí and find her.

Stop, stop! Right here. Okay, okay! Bye.

[police sirens wail]

MILITARY POLICE STATION

[in Korean, then English] Please!

A robbery!

Thief! My bag!

Here! Here!

-My bag, please.
-Hey, calm down.

Look, look! Thief!

The suspect's at the dam, let's move!

Let's put the foreigner
in the car so he can ID the perp.

Wait, me? Me? But, uh…

-Let's go.
-Are you sure? Okay. Okay, okay.

LAW SCHOOL

[Marina] The idea
is to record Neusa's statement,

and she'll say
she was coerced into IDing Jonathan.

We're already taping statements?

We can't produce evidence
before the case is reopened.

Without evidence,
we can't reopen the case.

But it's ill*gal.

Like making a fake profile
to creep on Letícia?

That is the paradox
of this type of process,

committing minor illegalities
to fix a bigger one.

{\an8}DRESSED UP TO GET HÉLIO ARRESTED

{\an8}Guys, Kim…

has lost his mind. He… he…
he says he's found Helinho

-He what?
-[Lima] What the…?

He's with the police,
they're gonna arrest him.

-Arrest him?
-Explain. Hold on. Calm down.

Explain what's going on.
Where is he exactly?

[car tires screech]

It still hasn't moved.
The tablet's in Parelheiros.

-Put it in the GPS, put it the GPS.
-Okay, hold on.

Get him on the phone.

Uh, it's saying 18 minutes.

[phone dial tone sounds]

-We'll be there in ten.
-Oh my God.

-Jesus.
-Oh, boy.

[bar music playing]

{\an8}BERNARDO'S TABLET

BERNARDO
MOBILE

[phone vibrating]

[police sirens wail]

Here, here.

-Wait here.
-Okay.

[tense music playing]

[tires screech]

If Kim somehow survives this, he's dead.

We're 2,000 feet away.

There, turn there. Turn here.

[tires screech]

[sighs] How'd he find out
where Helinho is?

I think he overheard my dad on the phone.

[scoffs] Pedro knew about it?

Here we go.

-Ooh.
-There, there.

[tense music continues]

[tires screech]

Hey! Everybody, put your hands up!

[tense music swells]

-[screaming]
-Get down!

Uh!

[officer] Get down!

[screaming continues]

-[g*nshots firing]
-[man] Go, go, go!

[piercing ring]

Get down! Get down!

[g*nshots echo]

[piercing ring continues]

[g*nshots echo]

[dark music playing]

[g*nshots echo]

[piercing ring continues]

[heartbeat thuds]

Hey, you're gonna be fine.
Stay calm, okay?

[g*nsh*t fires]

Stay over there.

That was by far
the craziest sh*t I've ever done.

[Kim] Yeah, tell me about it.

Action film level, right?

And you know something else?
I made out like a bandit, honey.

They didn't even bother
taking my statement.

And they gave me back my stuff.

-Gimme my tablet.
-[high pitched] "Gimme my tablet."

-I'm not joking!
-[Kim high pitched] "Gimme!"

If the university finds out,
there'll be trouble.

Inez could be facing disciplinary action.

Then she'll just sue their asses.

How'll they hear about it?
Bê'll tell papa?

Hey, f*ck you.

You wanna?

Enough! Cool it.

Nobody finds out.

If this is discovered,
the group's through.

It's over for Jonathan, for Inez.

[footsteps approaching]

[somber music playing]

You don't have to say anything.
I already know I f*cked up.

-I didn't think it'd escalate--
-Yes, you did.

The good news is, pizza's on the way.

Mushroom and prosciutto, arriving in ten.

-Great.
-Not for me, I gotta go.

[Raquel] f*ck!

[eerie music playing]

What? Is it the pizza?

No, it's… I'll message the group.

[message send tone sounds]

{\an8}Tonight, the theft of a tablet
led police to track down a fugitive.

{\an8}Hélio Souza, known as Helinho,

{\an8}was found here in Parelheiros,
in the far south of the city.

{\an8}-He's one of three people convicted…
-[Bernardo] f*ck.

-So, you done with your whining now, or…?
-Enough.

[Kim] I'm just saying, my plan worked.

[Inez] I'll talk to Helinho tomorrow.

[reporter] Helinho's uncle
who was also involved in the plot,

was k*lled during a prison riot.

[dog barking]

[tense music playing]

-Silas.
-You left Ulisses alone?

-Again?
-Keep it down.

-Do you wanna wake him?
-Now you're being a mother?

I give my life to care for your son.
If anything happens to Ulisses--

Nothing's going to, Silas.
I taught him to be safe.

Oh, perfect, yep!
You've turned him into an adult now.

I was taking care of myself
when I was nine.

And how was that? Did you enjoy it?

It made me strong.

Strong?

Then stop lying.

Face it, tell me the truth.

You want the truth?

This house where you've been staying
was my aunt's. It's mine now.

All our bills come here in my name,
all paid for by my college grants.

[tense music continues]

[exhales]

If leaving Uli alone
is what I have to do, I will.

I won't quit this group.

It's my chance to reclaim my life.

To free my mother.

To become close with Inez.

Who's Inez?

She's the woman who put my mom away.

Still thinking about that criminal
we apprehended, detective?

No, I'm just freaking out
about all the classes

we're missing because of this group.

It's wild, right?

My code of conduct
doesn't permit me to skip an adventure.

I knew Kim had no limits to speak of,
but Inez, flooring it with us in the back?

Seriously, sometimes I don't know
if she's a genius or completely insane.

[ominous music playing]

Do you think Jonathan
might've hit Letícia?

That bothers you, huh?

Ah. I'm not after your pity hugs.
Stop it, abort, I hate being a victim.

How about me
holding your finger then, huh?

That okay?

[music turns uplifting]

I LOVE APIAÍ

Hey!

How are you? Your mom around?

Ma?

[Letícia] Yes.

-Hi.
-Hi, Letícia?

Uh-huh.

We're law students from São Paulo,
do you have a minute?

-[Bruno] Boom! Boom! Watch out!
-What about?

[tense music playing]

Jonathan.

No one messes with my food! Roar!

[Lima] Jonathan Ferreira dos Santos.

[Bruno] I'm sorry, no!

Nope, I've got nothing to say about that.

-He's the father of your son, right?
-[Bruno screams]

He's been dead for years.
We just wanna be alone.

-Come inside, Bruno.
-[Bruno] No, Mom!

-I'm telling you to come inside.
-No!

-[Letícia] Leave that and come here.
-[Bruno] No!

[Letícia] Bruno!

[tense music playing]

His rap sheet
showed an active recapture warrant.

He's set to transfer soon.

I'm sure you're aware,
you've probably heard it a lot.

As a reminder, the penal execution law
guarantees Mr. Hélio de Souza

an interview
with the public defender ahead of--

Ahead of the classification hearing.

-Uh-huh.
-Inez.

-Uh, Captain Torres, hope you're well.
-Yep. Just a minute.

Everything good?

Not with you everywhere,
attempting to tamper with my witnesses.

Ah, now Hélio's giving testimony
in Jonathan's defense

after he accused Jonathan?

-Do you wanna fight?
-You started it.

Hélio only included Jonathan
in his last statement with no accusation.

He just confirmed what Evandro said.

The only person
he pointed to was your client.

What more are you hiding?

Nothing. I'm not hiding anything.

How about the location
of a fugitive from justice?

You're fine letting criminals
go free for your case.

And now you two are here.

[ominous music playing]

What changed, Murilo?

Nothing, Inez.

Nothing changed.

I'm off to talk to the prisoner.
I need to get his consent first.

But everybody will go in at the same time.

[intriguing music playing]

-Shall we?
-Thanks Captain.

[bell rings]

You and your uncle made a deal
to reduce your sentence.

You're not allowed to say that.

I was quiet
the whole time you were talking.

But to take you away
from the scene of the crime,

you put someone else in your place.

You don't have to respond
to that question.

-Why Jonathan?
-Pedro.

Helinho,

please tell me why you'd point the finger
at a man you hardly knew.

My uncle did know Johnathan.

[tense music swells]

-Hey, man.
-Yeah? Oh.

-Where is it?
-[Evandro] What's the deal?

-Hey, where's the money?
-I don't have any money!

-Bullshit! Where's the money, b*tch?
-Don't touch me!

[grunts]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[knocking on door]

Inez?

What is it?

Police report from back in 2019.
as*ault and battery.

Jonathan knew Evandro well.

He purposely lied to us.

Well, there's an upside.

It explains why Evandro accused Jonathan.

For revenge, right? Now there's a motive.

A motive.

Remember when I asked you
about your reason for choosing law?

[ominous music playing]

Guilt is the reason I'm here.

The man who shot me was the husband
of the woman I was prosecuting.

I was brought on as a special prosecutor.
I was paid plenty.

The case involved a big-name politician.

I was ambitious.

She was innocent, I was aware of it.

[music turns tense]

I always knew.

But I was determined to succeed.

Years of self-blame, condemnation,
thinking of how to correct it.

Deep down,
this group was about that guilt.

Was?

-Don't abandon Jonathan.
-You really like Jonathan.

I have to ask myself, you know,

have I lost all perspective due to guilt?

Maybe Jonathan is the m*rder*r
and justice was served, and now I'm…

I… I don't know. [scoffs]

I just don't know. I…

I almost died, I lost my child.

Maybe I'm a victim too.

Doesn't seem like it.

Looks to me like you let someone innocent
get convicted once

and now it's happening again.

-[man] Wait, wait. Put it down, man!
-[screaming]

-[Murilo] Inez!
-[man] Go, go, go!

-[Murilo] Inez!
-[man] Wait, don't do this!

He's so guilty, it's obvious, Lima.

The guy is violent as hell, admit it.

Who do you think
busted her face up like that? He did.

And if that's true? That doesn't mean
he's the k*ller, you know?

She hates the guy. Made absolutely sure
he's out of her son's life now.

He battered her, Lima.

There's no doubt.

Raquel.

Did someone hurt you?

No, my mother.

Your father?

It was the stupid as*h*le
she was with next.

After the as*h*le
we called my father left.

Mm. I think Letícia
would've talked if we'd insisted.

I dunno. You can be sort of intimidating.

It's pretty scary being close to you.

Right. Then why aren't you running
from me since you're scared?

I wanna be here.

No way. Friends only.

-Close ones.
-No. Lima, I mean it.

Don't mess things up, alright?

I'm way better as a friend
than a girlfriend.

Yeah. And we live together.

-That'd basically be a marriage.
-[laughs]

And you know me, I'm completely against
that whole institution.

Why are you such a dork? [laughs]

You're my friend, so I'm gonna be honest.

-Hm.
-Hm.

[sensual music playing]

It's 'cause girls like it.

I'm not that girl.

Let's remain friends

For sure.

[sensual music continues]

[birds chirping]

[children chattering indistinctly]

[eerie music playing]

-Do I have to? I wanna go home.
-Mhm.

-Bye, have a good day. Bye.
-Okay. Bye, Mom.

-Bye, now. Thanks.
-See you.

Hey there.

Letícia. Just gimme a chance to explain.

Ugh, please, stop already.
We have a life that I've rebuilt for us.

-Have some respect.
-I know.

I apologize, but your story
is extremely important now.

That story is done.

No, it's not, so please listen.
My group is trying to free Jonathan.

They all think he's innocent.

But I don't think so.

-Look, I--
-Talk to me.

Give me poof, just some proof to make sure
they don't think he's all holy.

Help me out and I promise
you'll never hear his name again.

I wanna protect you.

[ominous music playing]

Is Inez not coming?

I was just a boy.

I'd just begun boxing,
and I… I mean, I lost my head.

-I lost control.
-Why lie about it?

I never got very far with the truth.

I understand.

[suspenseful music playing]

The day they took me to testify,
they combed through everything, and…

in his bag they, um… [sucks teeth]

they found some key.

A key for what?

For the apartment.

Where those folks were k*lled.

Does Inez think I'm guilty now?

I was wrong about her.

-She's the same as those who put you here.
-What about you?

Do you think I did it?

No. No.

From now on, don't talk to Inez anymore,
do you understand?

I will get you out.

Then nobody broke in.
Since he got in with the apartment key.

Do you trust me?

I trust you.

It was him.
