01x07 - Episode 7

[bunniefuu]

That sheet of paper, what was on it?

[ominous music playing]

God, you don't know
how long I spent looking for you.

I was trying hard to disappear then.

How were you able to find me?

By chance.

I went to law school hoping to get
my mother out of jail where you sent her.

I didn't know you'd be there.

Well, that's… Well, yeah, but then you…
Once you recognized me…

Hm? You decided to join my group

and you've, uh, been lying
about this to everyone else?

Lying? Pretending? Deceiving?

It's how I managed to survive.
There was no other way.

What good is telling the truth?

Like my mother tried to?
Or Jonathan tried to?

-No. Don't mix things up, okay?
-It's mixed up already!

You were a coward with my mother
and you're a coward with Jonathan now.

A coward? You know I almost died.

I wish you'd died
after what happened in court!

It would've been fair!

My father died, remember?

But I'm still here.

And I am, too.

And now, I'm not that same little girl.

You scared me, but I grew out of that.

What do you want?

-Revenge?
-[Marina] Yes.

But not in the way you'd think.

-I never had any plans to make you suffer.
-No?

-You're still angry with me, aren't you?
-I am! I'm very angry.

And I admire you so much.

It kills me, but it's true.

I thought that, I don't know,

if I stayed close to you,
if I kept the lights on,

I might not be scared of the monster.

But there was no monster.

-There is. Yes, there is a monster.
-Stop it, that's enough!

That's exactly your problem, Inez!

You feel so bad for yourself.

What do you think? That your guilt
makes what you did to us alright?

-No, I know that!
-It won't!

Nothing can fix it.
Nothing can ever set things right.

Not being shot,
months rushing in and out of the hospital,

my entire life's work utterly destroyed,

-barely having the strength to get up.
-[Marina] I was standing!

I was out there cleaning houses, studying,

acting as a mother to my own baby brother.

I didn't have the luxury
of time to break down and cry.

And, you know, even if I had,

I would have felt too guilty
to sit and pity myself.

I'm… I really am sorry.

Please, forgive me.

So, you wanna be absolved?

Then that's on you to figure out.

I don't know how, anymore.

Go and free my mother.

That's what I had written down
for you on that note.

[somber music playing]

You heard?

So, it's true?

He's your brother?

I'm too tired for this now.
Let's talk tomorrow.

I'm tired, too.
I've been here through it all.

You've been lying from the start?

It's not all lies.

Actually, it makes sense
when I look at it now.

Damn it, why couldn't you trust me?

Trust?

You think I know what that even is?

What are you going to do?

Mm, no idea.

My head's spinning right now.

I need time to think.

And you? What are you going to do?

You've lost the plot for real now.

She wants to enter a petition
for a review for your case.

And what's madame lawyer doing that for?

Because she's sorry.
She wants to apologize.

Hm. Mm, I see.

She wants to sleep in peace?

You know your father shot her, right?
Think she's forgotten about that?

I haven't forgotten.

Then don't forget that she's the reason
I'm stuck in here either.

We hung on for so long.

Why are you throwing it all away?
After all the sacrifices that I've had--

We've had to make.

Eight long years now. The whole time,
I've raised Uli without you there.

I got robbed by all this too.

[somber music playing]

Even my name, Mom. You know?

Don't keep calling me that in here.

Why wouldn't I?
That's what you are, right?

[music turns tense]

That's what I am.

So please trust what I'm telling you.

Just run away.
You have to. And the boy, too.

You can't see that woman again.
'Cause once she puts the pieces--

-What other option have we got right now?
-You just accept reality.

[sighs] There's no other way out!

Don't we both deserve
to sleep in peace someday?

Me, you, Uli.

Just like we used to do.

Larissa…

You're a much better…

better mother than I ever could have been.

I would rather die
than take any charity from her.

I won't give her that much.

It's impossible.

I'll be dead first. You get that?

I'll be the nightmare that haunts her,
not the salvation she wants.

And don't come visit me here again.

It's what's best.

SÃO PAULO WOMEN'S PENITENTIARY

{\an8}CAUTION! PRISON SECURITY AREA

Next time, I'll take Ulisses.
She'll have to say yes after that.

No. Give her some more time, Marina.

Let's both focus on Jonathan.

If we free Jonathan,
then your mother will see that it's real.

Message the group for me.

Inez!

Will you tell them who I am, then?

Our history?

Would you like me to?

Not yet, no.

It's between us, then.

[knocking on door]

You're home?

Uh-huh.

For good?

Bê, can we please talk a sec?

Dad, if you're about to tell me
to leave the group, you can skip it, okay?

It's over. Done.

The group's done?

Inez, she pushed us all out.

f*ck, yeah!
Finally, something rational at last.

Inez bringing you kids into it
to begin with was inexplicable.

You get it? "Inez-plicable."

[Bernardo sighs]

But then it was nice,

I mean, seeing you get all fired up
about something. I'll give her that.

I was like that in my day.

-Really?
-[Pedro] Really.

One day, you'll get it.

Only after we had you
did I really start to understand

just how much my dad loved me.

I'd had no idea.

Um…

Want some lunch?
Love that Japanese place. I'll order out.

Dad, don't bother, alright?
I'm heading to school.

Um…

"Seeking a functional human being,
or mostly functional, to share a roof,

some bills, and our existential crises."

"Rules are pay a share of the rent,

you gotta like plants,
including ill*gal kinds,

and no fascists allowed. That stipulation
is non-negotiable. Text and WhatsApp."

See this message, man?

GROUP'S BACK. MEETING AT 7 PM.

-I thought it was a joke.
-It's kinda weird though, right?

Inez just bringing the group back?

You think Marina was a part of it?

Things were off that day
with those two at CPS, you know?

-You're imagining things.
-They were.

-Come on.
-Inez was acting strange.

You were too, by the way, dude.

Actually, you still are.
Come clean, spill it.

If I tell you,
you swear you'll keep it quiet?

Yo, I don't spread sh*t around. Like,
did I talk about Marina and Jonathan?

-You can't say anything.
-Yeah.

-I'm serious, dude.
-I know.

I almost, uh…

I almost kissed Inez.

What? Hey, no!
Holy sh*t, dude, that's wi--

-Shh! Calm down.
-Holy sh*t!

-Shh.
-That's crazy.

But, I mean, like, are you guys together?

No. No, it wasn't like
we made out or something.

Like, I tried,
but she just shot me down. That's all.

Damn! But you think
you still got a chance?

-[sighs]
-A chance at what?

-Ooh.
-Uh…

-Uh…
-Uh…

Hey, spill the tea, guys. Come on.

-Just a message from Marina.
-For Renata's case.

-We thought that…
-Yeah, we've been wondering…

-The Renata Vasquez thing.
-That was all.

-Translation?
-Did you get one too?

GROUP'S BACK. MEETING AT 7 PM.

Right, that one.

I got mine, course.
But I've lost interest.

-You dropping out?
-I already dropped out, sweetie.

I can't abide remakes.

And besides, I've got an original project
coming up so I'm busy. Kisses.

Jesus.

-Hey, girlfriend.
-What do you want, Kim?

You know, I saved your last voice message.

I like to play it
when I wanna feel like sh*t.

Hey, you can't hold a grudge.
I'm an Aries, you know?

And you've made mistakes, too.

Fine, you've got one minute
until my work starts.

Okay, look. Your boss
got Inez all freaked out. The group died.

But it's back in action, now.

Did she get something against Tina?

Dunno, they kicked me out. Okay?

You and I are a pair of pariahs.

[scoffs] We are not a pair.
You're a rich boy acting like a vigilante.

So long, I can't be late.

Hey, the police chief's office
is right by Bom Retiro, right?

Like you don't know already.

I know a great restaurant
that's in the area.

Grab lunch with me.

Please.

-[in Korean] Hello.
-Hey there.

[in English] Watch your step.

Welcome to the kitchen.

What's up, Paçoca?

Wait, so…

That one day with the delivery,
you'd been working for real?

On weekends, but yeah. Nepotism class C.

-I thought you were… that you--
-I was a millionaire?

I know, I'm surprised by it
as much as you are.

I've got rich-b*tch face, you kidding?

-Hey.
-But Kim, why try to hide any of this?

-Shame.
-Of your family?

Ugh, Raquel!

My grandpa sweats back here
from dawn till dusk

to pay only about half
of my college tuition.

The other half's
from my parents when they can.

That's all worked out.

I mean, I'm already g*y and Asian.

Can't add impoverished on there.
[laughs] It'd be too much, right?

Yeah, I get it now.

On the other hand, there's Lima,
who just loves to pretend he's poor

because being destitute
lets you virtue signal, I guess.

Totally.

But he really does like you, a lot.

No way. Lima f*cking hates me.

[in Korean] That's my boy!

Extra special so you can score
some points with your girlfriend.

-[Kim laughs]
-Enjoy your meal.

Thanks, Grandpa.

-[Raquel laughs]
-Hee!

My grandpa thinks
you're my girlfriend. [laughs]

It's hard to imagine you in the closet.

Ugh, in the closet? No way, girl.
Out of the womb, I was g*y.

[Raquel laughs]

I guess my grandfather prefers
this alternate version of reality.

-[Raquel] Yeah.
-Just like your chief, Tina.

You think I'm just a giant b*tch too, huh?

That depends. What side are you on?

Look, I know for sure
that Tina incriminated Jonathan.

But I don't have proof yet.

I've got an idea for that.

We'll have quite the comeback.
Just you wait.

Hm?

[Bernardo] Didn't you invite Kim?

No. He switched sides on us.

He asked your dad
to give him an internship.

f*cking backstabber.

Great, now he's run off to spill
everything we dug up to our enemies.

The enemy is Tina, right?
It's the same reason Raquel's not here.

We'll let Tina
think we've backed off for right now.

The law office is focused
on appealing Renata's case

and that buys us time to think.

You on board?

Of course.

Wait, I've still got a couple questions.
Just two.

Go ahead.

Requesting a review
and a new trial for Jonathan,

that'll take a bunch more time, right?

Yeah, but that's the legal way.

I tried to skate by it,
but there's just no way.

And if our gathered material
is strong enough,

we could submit a release request
for the trial period.

And your second question?

Ulisses,

is he doing okay?

Yes.

-It's all sorted out.
-[sighs]

Thank you.

Well, let's talk to Jonathan then.
I really think Marina can convince him.

We can't talk to Jonathan now
because Renata's trial is tomorrow

and he's been called
as a witness to give testimony.

Although, we've got another idea.

[ominous music playing]

I promised I'd protect Bruno in all this

and taking him to prison's
the opposite of that.

He'd see his father.

They talk to each other already, right?

Yeah, Jota was calling us every day.

He was super excited, but then suddenly
he stopped talking altogether.

He said it would be better not to…
not to go and give Bruno false hope.

But it's Bruno that'll give him hope now.

I thought you guys
had decided to let his case go.

I was afraid before.

Just like you were afraid at first, too.

But you found your courage.

And I found mine.

We were getting threats, same as you.
The police chief threatened me.

She's threatened all of us.

And I thought it was too dangerous.

But I believe I owe this to Jonathan.

There's plenty of things
I owe Jonathan too.

It's just that--

Don't you wanna have
your family back like it was?

You, and Jonathan, and Bruno.

Guys, I'm… I don't know.

I just…

I mean, I had to move on with my life,
you know? And now I've got someone else.

It's not like something serious, I mean,
we haven't put any labels on it yet, but…

[Inez] That's okay.

Letícia, don't worry about that, alright?
Jonathan's been seeing someone else too.

Who's that?

[sirens wail]

CRIMINAL POLICE

[suspenseful music playing]

[helicopters whir]

No. Excuse us, please.
No, no, no, not right now.

Please let us through. Out of the way.
We have to get through, okay?

We have nothing to say. Move back.

I said not right now. No.

[helicopters whir]

[siren wails]

{\an8}SÃO PAULO STATE COURT OF JUSTICE

The constitution has enshrined

the sovereignty
of a sitting jury's verdict.

Given they have respected, of course,
the principle of a full defense.

But a jury can be and must be annulled

should it's conclusion,
at the end of the case,

turn out to be one that is manifestly
contrary to the proof on record.

And the conviction of Renata Vasquez

was rendered in complete contradiction
to the body of evidence.

Renata is innocent.

But there is indeed, you see,
an actual criminal who confessed.

Jonathan Ferreira dos Santos.
He has confessed.

-Chief Tina, I got your lunch for you.
-But in none of his statements…

Started up already? Is it going well?

-For now, it's as I expected, so…
-[ominous music playing]

You see? Nobody's rushing to defend

your professor's little precious criminal
anymore, are they?

It's going like I thought.

Clearly she did all the planning
and he carried it out.

It seems like
these self-important rights lawyers

are actually preventing justice.

[Murilo] The absence of proof
corroborating their theory makes it…

You can go.

Enjoy your lunch.

[Murilo] …without showing
supporting evidence,

the prosecution's case simply doesn't meet
the required legal standard.

[Renata] That night,
I was at my friend Cibele's house

with two other friends.

It was our game night. We play cards… We…

We used to, I guess, anyway.
About once a month, I'd say.

There's no way!

I'll open this game up, okay?
Oh! No, ma'am.

Oh!

[Renata] When I think about
what was happening at the apartment

while I was out there having fun
with some friends, it turns my stomach.

-[ominous music playing]
-[phone vibrating]

[woman] Ugh, sorry,
but I always thought he was a shithead.

We played late
so I just spent the night at Fabiana's.

And we'd been drinking, too.

Then the next day,
we all woke up, had a cup of coffee,

and things seemed fine.

But our lives can change so quickly.

Mine changed completely overnight.

[breathes shakily]

And then I went to… to call up the police.

How, ma'am?

When you spoke to the police,

you stated your phone had been lost,
or so you said.

Oh, oh, that… that was just my way of--

But then the investigative reports
tell us a different story.

The cell towers pinpoint
the defendant's location during that time.

So, it's evident that Renata Vasquez
left her friend's home that day,

supposedly to pick up breakfast.

On the way to the bakery,

she used her phone
to get in contact with the K*llers

letting them know when it would be safe
for them to enter the building.

If you would lie
about such a simple thing,

what else might you be lying about?

Your Honor, I would like
to request permission to speak.

Perhaps a brief recess,
if you'll grant it?

My client is clearly not
in a right emotional state--

No! I want… I want to continue on.

I have to continue. I've lived
this hell on earth for six years.

I just can't take it anymore.
I want to continue, please.

Look. Me and my dad,
we truly cared about each other.

I… After my mother passed on, he…
he… he always took care of me.

And we'd talk to each other every day
or I'd leave audio messages.

Uh. Your Honor, Your Honor. If you please.

Since Mrs. Vasquez mentioned
audio messages exchanged with her father,

may I ask permission
to play one for the court?

[Renata] You're such
a f*cking as*h*le, Dad.

You just keep humiliating me

over an amount of money
that's pocket change to you.

I made a commitment, okay?

And… and you know how important
this apartment building is to me.

Then I can escape, far, far away from you.

I need that 600,000, okay?

So you'd better send it to me ASAP.

I've got a lot to take care of.

There's the paperwork
at the Campos do Jordão city hall,

not to mention
the deposit for the architect…

[tense music playing]

[Murilo] So then,
did you really see Jonathan?

Yes, of course I did, sir.
He was on the stairs to the building.

[door opens]

[door shuts]

And you're certain he's the one you saw?

No further questions, Your Honor.

[judge] This testimony is concluded.

Therefore, please bring
the next person to the stand.

Jonathan Ferreira dos Santos,
who's been called by the defense.

I didn't mean to do it, I swear.

[ominous music playing]

-Is that why you want Jonathan out?
-No.

He's an innocent man
and deserves to be free.

My mother was also wrongfully imprisoned.

And so I'm the one who raised her son.

[music turns somber]

All alone.

-I know it doesn't justify anything, but--
-It justifies things.

It really does.

Don't tell him anything yet.

Just let Bruno go talk with him.
We can get Jonathan out.

That's what's right.

From there, we can see
how things go, you know?

[Letícia] Are you going to stay with him?

Why didn't you tell me any of this?

I don't know, I just thought it could hurt
Jonathan's case. That's really it.

Oh, this will definitely hurt his case.

Or not. What if Letícia is relieved
and decides to take Bruno there?

So what, then? Is Marina out?

No.

Well, good. Because this wasn't her fault.

We can't control our feelings. No one can.

Oh, Bernardo. Please, don't.

It's okay for Marina, so what about us?

Bruno! Hey, what's up?

Ma?

Hey, sweetheart. How are you? Hm?

How was school? You have a good day?

Listen a sec, so you told me
about wanting to go and visit your father.

-Yep.
-Well, you're going to.

-Seriously?
-Mhm.

Hey guys, look.
Jonathan's testimony started already.

[Murilo] So, can you confirm
what the record says,

that you had never spoken
to Renata Vasquez?

Jonathan?

Yes, sir.

Go ahead, Murilo.

[puts down glass]

It was you, and Evandro, and Hélio who…

[ominous music playing]

planned to steal all the valuables
you believed you'd get

from the apartment the Vasquezes owned,

like jewelry, money,

but you only meant to rob it,

without any intention
to hurt or m*rder anyone.

Can you confirm that?

In your deposition six years ago,
you'd admitted to the murders

along with Evandro and Hélio.
You partnered with them, is that right?

I admitted it, sir, but…

But?

You did confess to it.

But?

-Is that the truth or not?
-What is truth, sir?

So far, the truth hasn't helped me at all.

It didn't let me bury my mother
or be a father to my son.

It's broken down my family.

The only truth
that exists here is God's truth.

God has said to endure,
and that is what I intend to do.

Because if I don't, sir,
do you know what's left for me?

Hatred.

I have no further questions, Your Honor.

[judge] Alright, then.
We will take a break.

We'll return to the case at hand
at 5 p.m. with the next witness.

[Renata] Can someone tell me
what that was, exactly?

It wasn't that bad. And fortunately,
he didn't offer any defense.

That's lucky, right?

Because, had it depended
on Murilo, you know,

he just threw away
every advantage we had back there.

-Did you feel sorry for him?
-[Ana] Okay, Renata, he made a mistake.

It's true. But we will resume the case
and then Murilo will make it seem like--

I wasn't the only one.

I mean, do you really think
your testimony back there helped you?

[Renata] What do you want from me?

You told me not to laugh
because then I look insensitive.

I… I can't be serious
or I look like a psychopath.

And I can't cry,
or else it looks like an act!

So play along. This is all an act!

You should know that better than anybody.
You must have known this was just theater.

[Ana] I'll be right back.

You calmed down?

If this really is all theater,

I'd say your performance
is pretty rotten, so far.

Uh, give… give me one of those.

Hm?

God, I think the last time
I saw you smoking a cigarette

was back at that student union
in our college days.

Yeah.

Yeah, back in college,

didn't we think we'd change the world? Hm?

In our twenties.

But now?

Yeah.

Now, we just don't wanna…

succumb slowly to resentment.

Or cynicism.

I look at who we were then,

and what we've become, and I feel so…

I feel so… so desperate.

Yeah, this case
is getting me all mixed up, too.

Tina, and then this…
this entire scheme that's going on.

You smile and shake hands all day,
toss back pills to sleep,

coffee in the morning, and more smiling
and hand shaking the next day.

Ugh.

Let's go inside.

Do you think Inez was right?

Back in the day?

Or now?

I sure think so.

Finish up this last case.

One more to get through.

Then we'll sit down together
and think through all this.

Can we do that?

Mr. Hélio, do you confirm that,
at the very start,

the one who had planned
the crime you were to commit

was your uncle, Evandro Almeida Souza?

Yes, sir. That's true.

Hm.

[ominous music playing]

In the very first statements given at
the General Investigations police station

on the 1st and 8th of August,

the name Renata doesn't appear.

-Can you confirm that?
-Yes.

And then afterwards,
you'd give other names, Renata, Jonathan.

And who had the idea to include others?

It was my uncle, Evandro.

And so, on August 22nd,

in a statement you'd given

to officers in the Homicide
and Personal Protection division,

you asserted you had been told
to enter into that very apartment

and, once inside, then to commit
a m*rder for Renata Vasquez.

I need you to confirm if that's
what you said to the officers, Mr. Hélio.

Yes, sir, that was what we said.

Were those your own words?

-They said that way we'd get less time.
-Ah!

Alright, so someone
told you and your uncle

that if you were to confess to this

and that the entire thing was carried out
on someone else's orders,

along with an accomplice,
the sentence would be reduced. Is that it?

-Yup.
-You see?

By claiming this was ordered by Renata,

that she had orchestrated
her father's death,

what was previously considered
robbery resulting in homicide

had turned into a homicide
in the first degree.

But to what advantage?

Well, a case of robbery
resulting in homicide

has a minimum of 20 years.

While homicide in the first degree
has a minimum of just 12 years.

[music turns somber]

The thing is that justice
as a science is not exact.

However, a lie,

no matter how convincing,
is still a lie, no matter what reason.

Mr. Hélio,

don't you think that too many lives
have already been lost

because you've kept on lying?

The first victim was Jorge Vasquez.

The second victim was Benedita da Silva.

-She was supposed to be gone, you know?
-[Murilo] Mm-hm.

But she recognized my uncle
and there was no way out.

The third victim
was your own uncle, Evandro,

who died while he was in prison.

The fourth victim,

Renata Vasquez.

who's right here, sitting as a defendant,

when you know she didn't play
the slightest part in all this.

Hang on, sir, I can't speak
on her planning us, alright?

Or if it's all lies my uncle told.

And now, nobody could ever be sure.

Only he could say.

The fifth victim
was Jonathan Ferreira dos Santos.

Isn't it true that you and your uncle
only included his name

to get a reduced sentence because that
put you away from the crime scene?

You intend to destroy more lives
when you already have five victims?

Enough. I can't do this, sir!

That's it, I give up. It's too much.

I don't eat anymore, or sleep.

It's better to be dead
than to live like this.

I do feel ashamed of all of it, now.

I don't want more…
more innocent people's lives ruined.

When I was first brought here,
I saw Jonathan.

He didn't say anything. Nothing.

But I could see in his eyes
that his life was completely gone.

He doesn't deserve this.

He never did.

And as for, uh… Mrs. Renata,

I don't feel any pity for her.

Not a bit.

Whereas Jonathan…

We decided to…
We only decided to include him because…

the detective said
she'd get us a better deal.

-Yes!
-[people murmuring]

That's it.

[music turns tense]

That son of a b*tch.
That son of a b*tch! sh*t.

-Raquel! Raquel.
-Yes?

Call the Public Defender's Office.
Schedule Flávio Ribeiro

for a dinner with me tonight, got it?

His contact info's there
in the planner on my desk.

Should I call
that Korean restaurant you like?

Book wherever you want, my dear.
Just do not let that man say no to me.

-Okay.
-For tonight.

I'll message you the booking details.

The judge suspended today's session early

due largely to contradictions
in the witness testimonies

They suggest interference
from police in the investigation.

The turn of events calls into question…

RAQUEL
WHERE ARE YOU? I HAVE AN IDEA

The trial is planned to resume tomorrow,

{\an8}at which time, we expect to hear
the sentence given to Renata Vasquez…

{\an8}[cheering and laughter]

Great!

We've got Helinho now,
that changes everything.

Yo, it blows my mind!

Suck it, Tina! Suck on that.

Hey, don't celebrate too much.
Your dad'll be screwed 'cause of this.

Hey, Lima. f*ck you very much.

Oh my God!

-This is amazing.
-Oh.

-What is it?
-Did we wake up Bruno?

Oh, no. Bruno's out. You sound happy, huh?

[Marina] Great news.
Helinho finally told the truth.

-That Jota wasn't involved?
-Yes!

Yeah!

[Bernardo] Are we dreaming now?

[Lima] Dude, if this is real,
it's kinda hard to believe.

Alright, now. Come on, guys. Come on.
Let's pack it in. You'd better head out.

-Letícia and Bruno need to rest.
-It's real.

Tomorrow at 7:00, okay?

-Tomorrow at 7:00.
-See you then.

[Lima] At 7:00.

-Goodnight.
-Thank you, Inez. See you at 7:00.

-Bye-bye.
-Ah.

Bye.

Take care.

Marina,

Tomorrow will be the last time
you talk to Jonathan.

-At least until he's released.
-Inez…

No, no. I don't need you to explain.
Because you can't.

Our history doesn't give you a free pass
to go and do whatever you want.

I've never had a free pass in my life.

It's decided. Accept it. Tomorrow.

[in Korean] Hey, what happened?
Did they cancel your class?

Hey, Grandpa. I came to help you out.

I'll take care of that, Grandpa.

-Are you sure?
-Yeah.

[suspenseful music playing]

NEW RECORDING

The last thing I'm looking for now
is to get in a fight with you guys. Okay?

Okay, great. I appreciate it.

-Good evening.
-Hello.

[sighs] No, no.
I didn't order any of that.

Oh. It's on the house.

No, I never eat bread this late,
so please take it back.

I'm not filling up on that.

Well… well, I'll take it. Thank you.

Bon appétit.

[Cristina] The Borrmanns
are scared shitless.

[door shuts]

Sit down.

I'll reheat some for you.

Where's Uli? Is he in bed?

He tried to wait for you. He said
he'd just rest his eyes, but you know.

[sighs]

I said I'd think about things.
I've done that.

-And I think I've finally said goodbye--
-Don't say that, Silas.

…said goodbye to the feeling I held on to
that I would never be able to reach you.

I thought the problem
was you didn't love me.

I do love you.

Then prove it.

Let's get married.

["Vulcanidades" by Livia Nery playing]

Our old relationship is over.
Let's start a new one.

No more lies. For real.

If you're okay with it,
I'll be his father, like actually.

Dead serious. On paper.

[Murilo] Hang on. You're seriously
gonna bench me at the last minute?

You just weakened
our most important piece of evidence.

You did the prosecution's work for them.

Ana,

changing our lawyers
in the middle of a trial looks terrible.

It weakens our position.

-Renata won't like that.
-[Ana] She asked for it.

Insisted on it.

Client's always right, man. Sorry.

Hey, man How can you look
your son in the eye every day?

-Shut up!
-Aren't you ashamed?

-You dug your own grave!
-Just stop, you two.

Okay, so listen.
Last night, Tina called me to check in.

She said she wanted
to ensure that your little outburst

didn't harm anyone related to the case.

Nothing we can do.

I guess we just get used to it.
Keeping our eyes shut tight, I mean.

Because it's less shameful in the dark.

Or we'd realize
we are what we used to condemn.

[somber music playing]

Pedro…

best of luck.

TAUBATÉ PENITENTIARY

Bruno, this is your father.

Hi.

Hi.

Wanna give him a kiss, honey?

No?

That's okay, buddy.

I'd resigned myself to only seeing you
again at the resurrection.

Jota, don't talk like that.

Hey,

when I start feeling sad,
I log in to Minecraft.

Do you know how to play that?

No.

Show me, okay?

We just gotta wait until you get out
because we can't play it in here anywhere.

[laughs] Yeah, that's fair.

-Can you fly a kite?
-[Bruno] Oh, yeah.

[Jonathan] So can Daddy.
Let's go fly a kite when I get out.

-You play soccer?
-[Bruno] I do.

Hey, I'm a good soccer player.

Then we can go get ice cream
and go to the park, okay?

-Okay.
-[calm, upbeat music playing]

-See you, kiddo.
-Okay. Bye, Dad.

I love you.

Bye, Jota.

Take care of yourself.

Let's go.

Thank you.

I just assumed I knew God's plan for me.

I thought I had all the answers
to my questions, but I had it wrong.

Everybody knows
how much you helped me out.

Ah, the whole family reunited at last.

[Marina] What are you doing here?

I missed you a bunch too, Marina.

Did Tina get a new flunky?

I don't know. Last I heard,
your father was still part of her g*ng.

-Kim, just…
-Here, take him in.

-Make yourselves at home.
-Okay.

Sorry, excuse us.

-Were you sent by Tina?
-Come on.

We're here about her.

PLAYING NEW RECORDING

[Flávio] Well… well,
I'll take it. Thank you.

[Cristina] The Borrmanns
are scared shitless.

But I'm watching them.

I've got them all under my thumb.

I knew that sh*t would hit the fan
as soon as Inez came to me that day.

What the f*ck?

[Flávio] I didn't want
to get involved in any of this.

More involved
than you already are, Flávio?

It was you
who told me to offer that deal to Evandro.

-I swear--
-[Cristina] Oh, yes, Flávio…

Sorry, it's a little guerrilla, but…

[Cristina] And who was it
that closed the deal, huh?

[Flávio] I was doing
what you asked me to do.

[Cristina] That's right.

But have you got any proof of that?

Hm.

You know, the Bar may come out and declare

they find you morally unfit
to practice law in this country.

You considered that, Flávio?

Then it's bye-bye Defender's office.

Have you thought about the kind of stain
that would leave on your name, Flávio?

Look, I'm giving you the chance
to decide who your enemy's going to be.

You could be fighting
alongside the chief of police or else

you could take her side.

What do I have to do?

You have to take care of Helinho.
He has to choose us.

That's if he's planning
on surviving his time in prison, anyway.

[restaurant guests]
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday dear Denubia ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

Yeah, now it's just the table next to them

going "Woo-hoo"
and singing "Happy Birthday."

Wait, what's with this lackluster…

Yeah.

…pathetic, anemic,
feeble, and lifeless reaction?

Why aren't you clapping and yelling "Yay"?

Is there something we can use as proof?
Because the recording's ill*gal.

She's an authority figure.
We can argue it's part of public interest.

She talks about my dad.

And Murilo's mentioned.

Guys, hold on. Forgive me,
but aren't we anti-punitive here?

I swear that I'll do better.

-We've got nothing right now.
-I'm sorry, nothing?

We don't have the support of the college
or protection against Tina either.

All… All we've got is each other.

The proof's on the table.

Tina confesses she manipulated
the investigation, along with Flávio,

and that will most definitely
affect Borrmann's firm.

Is that something we're ready to do?

With Tina's connections,
you still wanna face her?

I'll do it. If you're willing to.

I'm in also.

Yeah.

Count me in.

And me too.

[suspenseful music playing]

You know I was born for this.

Well, I guess we're doing it.

So, Jonathan's getting a new trial,
that right?

Are we ready
to go watch the end of Renata's trial?

No. No, there's no way I can go.
If Tina knows I switched sides, I--

Hey, I can stay with you.
We can transcribe the recording together.

[Raquel] Okay.

So, we're on.

What time is it?

It's 1:55. Let's hurry up.

[ominous music playing]

[faint g*nsh*t sounds]

-Marina?
-[Marina] Just a sec.

This again?

-Inez?
-No, please. I'm okay. Go on ahead.

[clears throat]

I'm going to take a break here.

[Marina] Here.

Jonathan gave this to me.

To bring you some courage.

Let's go.

-Is she alright?
-Yeah.

[ominous music playing]

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

Good morning.

The case against Renata Vasquez
amounts to an ethical judgment.

She was made to appear like the symbol
of an ungrateful daughter,

cold-hearted woman, invented more
to stir up the emotions of the jury

than to satisfy
the legal scrutiny of the court.

And emotion…

And emotion,

everyone,

can't be proved.

Everyone deserves due process.
[clears throat]

An unbiased trial

is all we request of you.

[ominous music playing]

In light of what has been said,

we have decided to confirm the sovereignty
of the verdict handed down by the jury.

Unanimously, this assigned panel
agreed to uphold the conviction

that had previously been imposed
by the jury regarding this case

and maintain the given sentence.

Considering the precedence
that has been established

by the Federal Supreme Court's
landmark appeal, topic 1068,

we grant the request
that the sentence be enforced

upon Renata Vasquez.

This decision shall be communicated
to the court

responsible for implementing the sentence

and a warrant for arrest shall be issued.

However, given that the defendant
remained at liberty throughout the…

-That means guilty as f*ck.
-Is that good or bad?

-That's pretty bad for your father.
-For Jonathan?

Well, that remains to be seen.

[judge] …judgment and the parties
must await final sentencing.

[music turns somber]

[car horn honks]

Guess you couldn't go in then, huh?

What are you doing here, anyway?

Come to watch my downfall
from the front row?

It was really touching,
what you did with Helinho.

True, it came at the very last minute,
still, I thought it was really touching.

I was… I was just here to…
I tried to come here because of Jonathan.

You're on the case again?

Because, you know, Pedro, he uh…

He was saying that Bernardo had told him
that you had decided to quit.

I nearly did.

-You had blocked our habeas corpus--
-No, stop there.

Please, because…

Let's just say I'm already paying for it.

Uh… Bianca left. She's gone.

-Uh… That's too bad.
-Well…

You know…

That one's completely my fault.

Uh, well, that is usually my line.

[Murilo sighs]

You were right, Inez.

As per usual, huh?

Jonathan is innocent.
You knew from the start, Murilo.

Back then too, I mean.

You always were.

Back then…

I should've stayed by your side.

Do you remember
the handwritten note you got that day

from Eliane's daughter, Larissa?

Of course.
It's like to this day I still have it.

And Marina, from my group, you've met?

She's Larissa.

-Inez!
-So now, I've changed my strategy, Murilo.

I will be requesting
a criminal review for Jonathan.

Wait, I don't, uh… I don't understand.
What does this… this young woman, um…

What does she want?

The same as I want.

She wants to do to Tina
what I wish I had done to Ênio.

And now you'll what?
Fight on your own again?

With Larissa.

With Marina.

With my group.

Tina could hurt you, okay? She's a maniac.

You can't afford to go out
and play the vigilante this time.

It's David against Goliath,
I told you that.

So please think of all the filings,
all the motions.

And then how risky it is
to mess around with Tina, I just--

Yeah, I… I know. Forget it.

When you said you should have stayed
by my side, I thought--

No, no, no, no, no. Hey, you don't get it.

-I'd like to help you out.
-Uh-huh?

Let me take this case on with you.

I'll give you structure.
I'll give you protection.

And a team. For example, your students,
we could hire them all as interns.

I can cover you on this one.

[intriguing music playing]

I owe you that much.

I…

owe myself that, too.

So, join us.

Back at the firm.
