01x08 - Reality Show

[bunniefuu]

[Victor] Why are you cheating on me?
Who was that you were hooking up with?

PREVIOUSLY

I want to still be able
to be your best friend.

[Bia] But I love that you
always try to help me.

And I know that I will
always have you by my side.

Feel free to look around.

Uh, could I see
the menu, please?

- Man, this is a lamp store.
- How rude, Victor.

Don't worry. He'll make
you a burger too, okay?

- Cool.
- It's time to bury that old store.

You have to put that shop in the hands
of someone who knows how to work, son.

The store is mine. I know very well
what I need to do to make it successful.

The play was a flop. I spent all
my money to produce that play.

I want to thank everyone here.

- [Lucas] Great job.
- Thank you.

This is Gabriel. He's an actor too.
He came to show his support for you.

- Nice to meet you. I'm Bia.
- Congrats. I loved it.

Would you come up with a caption for me,
something clever to post under a photo?

I want to be taken seriously.

AMANDA ARCOVERDE: from the
Web to the silver screen

Fausto, I figured it out!

Can you bring Giselle here?

Thanks, Fausto.

Thanks.

- So, you loved my play, right?
- Totally.

The character is a crazy
lunatic, but she grows on you.

[laughs]

Yeah. I...

I'm writing this story, only
now in the form of a film,

and I thought of you to
play the main character.

The writing is good.

If we find a director who
makes sense for this proj...

But that's... Sorry.

Uh, my only condition is that
I want to direct the film.

episode 8

[Bia] Thank you so much.

Thank you so much. I promise you
that you won't regret trusting me.

I know.

[Bia] Bye.

[sighing]

She's going to regret it.

She's going to regret it. Because
I'm not a film director, Victor.

I don't know. This
girl is crazy.

She's out of her mind to
put her career in my hands!

I'm going to destroy someone's
career. My God, she's innocent.

She doesn't know what
she's doing to herself.

Victor, please, help me.
Someone has to stop me.

Do you know what this is?

A breeding ground
for dust mites?

This is the space I'm saving for
when you win your first Oscar.

Aw, that is so cute!

[Victor grunts]

Don't worry.

Everything will turn out
well with your movie.

You're ready.

My beautiful Spike Lee.

[chuckles]

[Bia] This is me now.

Two months later getting ready
for my first day of sh**ting.

Giselle and her agent found
sponsors to fund the film,

and the next four weeks are going to
be the biggest challenge of my life.

Am I panicking? Yes.

Does part of me think it's going to
be a disaster and that I'm a farce?

Absolutely.

But there's no turning back now.

Huh! Are those two
sleeping together now?

Huh. Wasn't he with Pâmela?

Doesn't make any sense.

These reality shows
are so unbalanced.

The girls have, like, a college education,
a master's, they've lived abroad.

And the guys are like,

"Oh, I'm into surfing and
drinking with my friends." Bah.

You deserve better, Pâmela!

Yeah!

Honey, I have to
go. My car is here.

Please, don't watch the
last episode without me.

- I promise.
- Okay.

- Hmm?
- Good luck, yeah?

You're going to blow
them out of the water.

Thanks.

[Bia] Part of me wanted
to relax on the couch

watching reality
shows with Victor.

But it's time to stop
watching other people's lives

and finally do
something with my own.

Ferreira's Lamps

Naldo [Uncle]

How's the store doing?
Still not selling anything?

Let me take over
that spot, Vivi!

[crew chattering]

Let's put the camera here, okay? We're
going to start with a general shot.

- Set it here. We'll...
- But what about this one here? Look.

[chattering continues, muffled]

[muffled] What?

- [high-pitched ringing]
- [panting]

- [sighs]
- [ringing stops]

Bia. Uh, could you come
here? Real quick, real quick.

Uh, so, about the
specific wallpaper.

We couldn't find it anywhere.

That's fine. That's...
This one looks good.

- Yeah? Look, the wardrobe.
- [Giselle] Bia?

[chuckles] Do you like it?

Yeah. But this Bia
is... She's too mature.

[stammers] It's Bia from her first
phase. Those more colorful references.

Okay. I'll get changed. Ready?

- [radio crackles]
- Team R2.

[crew member] Check if that
video's coming through. Is it?

[Bia] This is me now,
reliving my story.

Bia, which one do you prefer?

- Uh, this one here.
- Okay.

I have never had this many people coming
to me and asking for my opinion before.

Hey, hey, hey. I... Come here.

I need to talk to you about the plans
you have in mind for the next scene.

Come here, come here.

[panting]

- You're having a meltdown, aren't you?
- Mm-hmm.

I'm not... I'm not
qualified to do this.

I'm not qualified
to direct a movie.

The only camera I know how to
use is the one on my cell phone

and I-I always choose
the wrong filter.

And here it's filters, it's lenses,
it's... the... which wallpaper…

- Relax, relax, Bia, relax.
- [groans]

You and Giselle insisted on hiring a
woman for your director of photography.

This is my first chance to work on a
big film, and I know what I'm doing.

And I know that you do too.

- [sighs, sniffles]
- So let's make it work, okay?

Yes, let's.

Look, let me handle all
the technical stuff, okay?

You just need to
direct the actors.

Perform a miracle and get these
influencers to actually act.

[chuckles]

Deal?

- [sighs] Okay.
- Come here. [chuckles]

Bia. How do I look?

You look great. You look great.

- Thanks.
- Amazing job. Thanks.

[stammers] Hi.

- Hi. [chuckles]
- I was just memorizing my lines here.

- Okay.
- Since you're here,

can I ask a question
about Marcelo, actually?

Sure. Let me sit down.

It's the breakup scene
at the exhibition.

I don't understand if he's
just smooth-talking her

or if he truly loves her.

Because I've been reading some scenes
and he seems like he's a nice, fun guy,

and then later we learn that he's
a d*ck, that he cheats on you...

that he cheats on the...
[chuckles] …the character.

Is he an idiot who tries to
be nice every once in a while,

or a nice guy who
makes mistakes?

I think your character
loves her a lot.

But the thing is that love isn't
the only variable in this equation.

At the same time as he has the most
beautiful feelings in the world for her,

he can also have doubts,

traumas,

shitty experiences
from old relationships.

In this case, he's
the... the villain,

but we're more than just one
bad moment, one bad decision.

Does that make sense?

Total sense.

[chuckles]

Action.

- [Gabriel sighs]
- [Giselle sighs] Just a bit more.

- Here?
- Yeah.

Where?

- There?
- There.

[Gabriel sighs]

Cut.

- [actors chuckle]
- [Giselle] Nailed it?

- Day's done.
- Day's done!

[crew cheering]

Do you want to come over? Hmm?

We can work on this
week's shot selection.

Don't worry, I'll teach you all I
know about lenses and photography.

Never again will you
post an ugly picture.

[both laugh]

Let's go.

Let's.

I'll be home late today

[Victor] This is me now.

It's like my life is paused.

The bad thing about when your best
friend is also your girlfriend,

is that when she's busy, you
don't have either of them.

[Bia whispers] Sorry.

- [crew member] Gabriel.
- [Victor] She is always working.

I won't be able to cry. The whole
crew's going to laugh in my face.

Come here. No one's going to laugh.
You've been doing an amazing job.

Everything is all right. You've got
this. Just do exactly what we rehearsed.

Okay.

Uh…

- Listen to this playlist for a while.
- Okay.

To help you concentrate.

And we'll go at your pace.

- Okay.
- You've got this. You're k*lling it.

[Victor] When she's not working, she
vents about things I don't understand

and can't help with.

No, no. Giselle's agent is absolutely
convinced the film belongs to him.

He keeps telling me to add our
sponsors' things to every other scene

and everything's
turning out terrible.

Like that scene at
the bowling alley.

He insisted it had to
be at a specific mall

because they're one of Giselle's
partners. [clicks tongue]

But if he's the one
paying everyone,

then the film does kind of
belong to him, doesn't it?

That depends. What are we making?
Art or just two hours of ads?

[Victor] It's like she went to a
different planet where I don't live.

- [phone vibrates]
- [Bia] Three.

Oh, it's Tânia.

- Hi.
- Isn't today your day off?

There are no days
off in filmmaking.

Yeah, I did... I saw
that in the group chat.

[Victor] I've never
felt so alone.

[Erika] Dude, look at
this. It's so crazy.

I was watching a video
from someone I follow

and I found a post he made
a year ago at your store.

Best burger #WhereToEatRJ

The best burger can be found in
places where you'd least expect it.

And it's here, at
this lamp store,

where they serve an honest,
well-made, delicious burger!

It lit up our whole
week. [chuckles]

my mouth's watering

delicious, where is it?

I went there and it was just a store.
I was disappointed, I wanted a burger!

What's the place called?

I'm drooling! I want it!

Bold, to say the least

super unique

wow, I've seen that place. I
didn't know they sold burgers

Silvio can you talk?

I need some advice
about a crazy idea I had

when I get home. XO

This is phase one Bia.

- She's really extroverted.
- Okay.

- She's talking about Marcelo.
- [Giselle] Thanks.

Can you leave the cream puff
so we can rehearse seriously?

[Giselle] No, it's...
This is Lucas.

- What do you mean?
- It's all right. It's all right.

Wait, but... I'll...

Just a... Just a second.

I'll be right back to
rehearse with you. It's...

Tânia, wait up. Just a minute,
please. I'll be right back.

Just fix that hair a little.
There you go. Handsome boy.

- Can I talk to you for a sec, Lucas?
- Of course.

- Thanks.
- Stay there.

- Uh…
- Go ahead, Bia.

Why did you ask them
to switch to ice cream?

You didn't even run it by me.

It's-It's important for the
film for it to be a cream puff.

Do you know any cream puff brands?
Because I'll call them up right now.

But does every part of the
film need to be sponsored?

It's a metaphor.

They share every part of their lives.
They share dreams, like their cream puffs.

It's just that's not as deep as you
think. Let me explain something to you.

This production? I'm the
one who's paying for it.

This is your chance
of a lifetime.

Are you going to throw it
away by being difficult?

You're not, right?
It's not worth it.

Gabriel! Are you ready? Yeah!

[Gabriel] Of course.

[phone chimes]

Silvio - sorry, I won't be
home until 4 a.m. at least

What's up?

Nice melody. I
don't know this one.

Thanks. It's mine.

Not everyone who works with the
Internet is an enemy of art, you know?

[both chuckle]

And if the cost of showing off my music
and working in a cool film like this

is that now and then I need to
post a picture without a shirt on,

promote a vegan product or
record a dance challenge,

then I think that's all right.

[chuckles]

Thanks for saying
my film is cool.

It's much more than cool.

I've always wanted to
learn how to play guitar,

but I never... I never
took the time to do it.

Why not? It's not hard.

Oh, life just... just happens

and we end up leaving so
much behind, you know?

My... My favorite
films are musicals.

I want to be good enough to
compose someday. [chuckles]

I can teach you how
to play if you want.

Do you want to?

Look.

First put that here. Like this.

And this hand needs
to be relaxed.

Okay?

Later I'll explain how...

Uh, let's… [stammers]

…leave that for after
the film is done.

It's too much... too
much at the same time.

Uh… [clicks tongue] Uh…

Clara said you need me.

What can I help you with in this project
that we're... that we're working on now?

Can you make me a playlist too? I
saw that it really helped Giselle.

Of course.

And whenever you want to rehearse,
even if it's not production day,

I'm down, okay?

Your work makes all the difference,
and I want to do a good job.

Of course. Okay.

Hmm.

[door opens]

Can't sleep?

Are you ready to hear the idea
that is going to revolutionize

Rio de Janeiro's food scene?

Oh, look at that.

Look, I know that a lamp store selling
burgers seems kind of weird, right?

But that's the thing.

Because every lamp store is the same,
and every burger place is also the same.

So being different
can be interesting.

- It can make me stand out as a business.
- Mmm.

Look at this. Wait,
let me get my phone.

- Did you see my phone anywhere?
- Uh-huh.

Last year, this guy from the
Internet... Look at what he did!

Look at this. He made a video,
and look at how many views it got.

This is the one.

[water boiling]

[exclaims]

[humming]

Thanks for coming, yeah?

You're the only lawyer I know.

If I really want to move
forward with this idea,

I'll have to change
a bunch of things.

I'll have to get a permit,
renegotiate the store's debt,

I'll have to update my license.

Is everything all right?
Are you listening?

Or do you already regret
working for your ex for free?

[chuckles]

You like pagode music, pop divas,
action movies, reality shows.

Nothing at all about your
taste matches or makes sense.

Owning a burger place
that's also a lamp store

is the most Victor
thing in the world.

[both chuckle]

So, you don't think
I'm crazy then?

That I'm just speeding up
my inevitable bankruptcy?

Oh, it's like that
Transformers sh*t you love.

It's a car and a robot
at the same time.

Does it make sense?

No.

Is it kind of ridiculous? Yes.

But it can work

and be someone's favorite movie.

Check it out, folks!

First day of renovations.

Coming soon, my burger place,
"Bread, Beef, Cheese and Light!"

[Luiza chuckles]

Here's your permit. Now just do
a good job on this renovation.

Wow, I can hardly believe it.

Thanks, yeah?

- [Luiza] You're welcome.
- [kisses] You're amazing.

So, want to choose the
next one? Help me tidy up?

Why? Where's Bia?

- So it's your ex who gets her hands dirty?
- [scoffs]

I think that's
really unfair, okay?

- Oh, that's rich.
- Yeah.

The one who abandoned me is judging
the one who's still with me.

Cut!

[chuckles] Can we...
Can we sh**t one more?

When you're free, I
want to talk to you.

Uh, okay, Lucas wants to talk to
both of you. Can you come real quick?

Tânia, Lucas wants
to talk to us.

Just a minute. We're going to
sh**t one more, but that was great.

[Giselle] Thanks.

- I think that was great. The shot comp...
- It was. The focus...

Bring down the
focus. It was great.

- There, Lucas, go ahead.
- Hi.

Hey, Bia, I just
saw the shot list.

Are you still going to sh**t
that sex scene I told you to cut?

Okay, Lucas, I-I totally understand
the problem with-with sex scenes,

and I do also think that in
most cases it's-it's gratuitous.

But in this case, it's
not about the nudity.

It's not tacky or in bad taste.

It's there because I
really think it feels phony

to tell a big love story
that doesn't include sex.

There's no such thing, you
know. It's not believable.

Bia, I called to
give you an order,

not to listen to your
thoughts about sex in movies.

Honestly, I don't give a sh*t
about what's right or wrong.

If there's a sex scene in the movie,
I won't be able to sell it later.

It won't be rated PG.

It'll reduce our reach.

It'll reduce how much we
can get when we sell it.

We are not doing a sex scene.

I've already told you, damn it!

Uh…

Bia, my loyalty is to the
story you want to tell.

- Okay? [chuckles]
- Thank you.

Uh, I'll be... I'll be
inside sorting this out.

The important thing is that you both feel
comfortable sh**ting this scene, okay?

We're going to go at your pace
and work with a closed set.

- All right?
- Mm-hmm.

Okay.

- Any problems?
- [Giselle] No.

Then let's go. I'll guide
you through the scene.

- I'll put some music on, okay?
- [Giselle] Okay.

Does anyone have a speaker?

Cut.

Bread, Beef, Cheese and Light

What's up, guys!

Listen, "Bread, Beef, Cheese
and Light" is the real deal.

It's going to light
up your lives.

- It really will! [chuckles]
- Ah!

- Ta-da! This one is special.
- Ooh, delicious.

Very special.

Look, dude, I'm going to start
charging commission, yeah?

- Because it was my idea.
- That's true. It was.

- Let's look at your website later.
- Gosh, I can't forget to do that.

If you need anything,
talk to me, okay?

- Don't be shy.
- Love ya.

- What's up, man? How are you?
- What's up?

- So, do you like it?
- I love it.

Oh! Hey, record all the
videos you want, okay?

Sure, thanks. Thanks.

- Hmm.
- Big turnout, isn't it?

Mm-hmm. [chuckles]

Okay, today everything is
on the house, yeah? Enjoy.

Thanks.

Thank you for your help.

Hmm.

Mom, what were you
doing in the kitchen?

Oh. I was checking it out, but
everything looks great, okay?

[both chuckle]

Look at you. Abandoning
my son did you good.

- You look gorgeous, Luiza.
- Aw, thanks.

- I missed you so much!
- I missed you, honey. How have you been?

- I'm great.
- You look gorgeous.

I want to know if I can steal the
star of this show for just a moment.

Of course. I'll be
over there with Erika.

I'll be right over.

Honey, I am so proud of you.

It's absolutely gorgeous.
It's all beautiful.

Really, Mom?

Aren't you sad that I wasn't
able to honor Dad's memory?

Honey, this place
was once a diner

that went through a
crisis and had to adapt,

and your father turned
it into a lamp store,

which went through a crisis

and is now following
the path you chose.

That's the tradition
in our family.

Following a new
path and adapting.

I am so proud of you.

Come here. Give me a hug.

Congratulations, Son.

- Thanks, Mom. [chuckles]
- Good luck, okay?

Thanks.

Aw! I came as fast as I could.

Damn, I feel so bad for not
getting here sooner. I'm sorry.

It's all right. You
were working. I was too.

- Hi! It's been so long!
- Hi. Yes it has.

Well, I think I'll be going.

Congrats on all the success.
It was the perfect evening.

Bye, Bia.

- Bye.
- Thanks.

Don't you think I'm an awful
girlfriend who doesn't support you?

No, it's all right.

Forgive me.

You look so handsome.

Hottie.

- Shall we?
- Uh-huh.

Aw, I'm-I'm upset. How was it?

Good morning.

- Good morning.
- No, not good morning. Good evening.

Bring me a dolly track, please?

Hi. How are you? You are…

I'm the new director
of photography.

And what happened to Tânia?

Excuse me, please.

Uh, come here real quick.

Just a minute, okay?

Come here. We had a
little problem here.

What the f*ck is going on
here? What happened to Tânia?

Lucas fired her.

Lucas, you know I trust you
with all my business decisions.

I adore you.

What are you talking about,
Giselle? I adore you too.

I'm just trying to protect you.

But you can't fire someone
without talking to me first.

Especially someone who was
doing an excellent job.

What I'm doing is defending
your best interests.

Those two are doing things that go
against all our sponsors' briefings.

Without sponsors, we
have no movie, Giselle.

And without me, you lose the
biggest client in your agency.

So listen to what I'm saying.

I want Tânia back.

Or she won't sh**t
the rest of the film.

Yeah. Or I won't sh**t
the rest of the film.

Fine.

[Victor] This is me now,
feeling like a failure.

The success of opening day
with my friends has passed,

and now the burger place is more empty
than back when it was a lamp store.

Are you still open?

[both chuckle]

Hmm.

There's no way this
place will be a failure.

Give it time. Be patient.

- [chuckles]
- The one reason I'm not panicking

is because I sold a lamp during
lunch and hit my target for today.

But the contrast between the opening
and today is so disappointing.

I have a very simple secret
to fix this whole thing.

What is it?

Booze.

[laughs]

[Bia] This is me now.

The last day of sh**ting.

Celebrating.

Feeling successful for
the first time in my life.

But feeling like
something is missing.

Fausto - today is the
wrap party, want to come?

- [phone buzzes]
- [Luiza chuckles]

No, but look.

If you want to talk about what's
happening between you and Bia,

I'm here.

Oh, I think it's kind of weird
to talk about this with you.

Oh, no. Quit it. Quit it.

When you and I were together,
Bia always helped you.

I think it's time I
returned the favor. Hmm?

- [sighs]
- [chuckles]

We're doing well.
It's just because...

Bia has been working nonstop,
and I feel distant from her.

And I've never felt
distant from Bia before.

- I don't know.
- Hmm.

Wa-Want to watch something?

- Where's the remote? Here it is.
- Yeah.

[music plays on television]

You're watching Passion
in Paradise too?

I am, but I agreed to watch
the last episode with Bia.

- Oh. Okay.
- [stammers]

Let's watch just the very start to
see who's going to be eliminated?

- She'll be here any minute.
- Okay. Okay.

[sighs]

[Pâmela] I thought our
connection was the real deal.

I didn't think it was
just physical, José.

Pâmela, at no point did
I ever say that to you.

I've always told you that
I... that I want to be single.

- I want to be free.
- So tacky. What a let-down, you know?

[crying] What you did
to me was so uncool.

So uncool of me to
open up like that.

Wow, man. Why did
he do this to me?

I want to leave.

I don't want to be on this show
anymore. I don't want to. [sobs]

ELIMINATED

[Luiza] No.

- What do you mean?
- Oh, no. No!

- No, not Pâmela.
- No, no, no, no, no, no!

- Wow, I thought she was going to win!
- Man, she was the best part of this show.

- [Victor] I don't believe this.
- [Luiza] Wow!

Hi, honey.

Hello.

Hi, Bia.

How are you?

How was it?

It was great.

You two can stay here, okay?

Make... Make yourself
at home. [chuckles]

[Victor] Wait up, Bia.

Bia, come here!

Bia! Bia, Bia, Bia,
Bia! Wait up, wait up!

Wait up, Bia! Come on, we
weren't doing anything!

Oh, you weren't doing...

Are you so dumb that you didn't
see what her intentions were?

Or do you think I'm that dumb?

Silvio, I've never done
that in my entire life.

I wasn't about to be unfaithful.

Stop calling me by that f*cking
ridiculous nickname! My name is Bia.

Listen, I-I know the mood
was weird back there.

But I was just feeling down

because the burger place didn't
get many customers today.

- Luiza is my friend.
- [groans]

She was trying to cheer me up.

And, like, I don't have anyone
on my side lately, you know?

- g*dd*mn. Real difficult.
- I just wanted some company.

She showed up there
and I... [stammers]

Anyway, I was just... I wasn't
going to do anything wrong.

Please forgive me. Let's go up.

I'll kick her out,
never talk to her again.

- I'll block her from my life. Please.
- Look, I'm way too tired.

I am way too tired to need to
discuss our relationship right now.

Do you want to cheat on me?

- Go on. Enjoy it.
- Cheat?

- We only...
- I don't give a g*dd*mn f*ck.

We watched to see who was eliminated.
I'll watch it all again with you.

And what were you two
going to do after that?

She was already
lying on your lap.

You're creating a whole story in your head
about something that I'd never do, okay?

But maybe you want me to do it.

To, I don't know, become the
protagonist in your next film.

What are you even talking about?

You're making a film that basically says
that Marcelo is the love of your life.

And you're jealous of Luiza, who was just
lying down with me on the... on the sofa.

Now, Victor? Are you serious? f*ck, those
two things are completely unrelated.

How is that?

No, because a stable relationship, like
ours, doesn't make for a good film.

With Marcelo, everything was chaos. It
was hell. There was always conflict.

I don't know if our
relationship is that stable.

[sighs]

[Luiza] That was long.

I thought you guys
had gone somewhere.

Girl, are you awake?

I need somewhere to sleep.

I-I'm here in the lounge at the-the
hotel where the team is staying.

[phone beeps]

Want to talk?

No. I just want to keep
watching the episode.

Make yourself at home.

Thanks.

Uh, I'll... I'll sleep
on the sofa. It's great.

Thanks, yeah?

Listen, no. Relax.
You take the bed.

- I mean it.
- No, I couldn't. It's your room.

You sleep on the bed. The
couch is great for me.

I'll stay…

The film has wrapped.

You're not my director anymore.
