BURNING BETRAYAL
BASED ON THE NOVEL BY
BABI AND CAIO ARE GETTING MARRIED
CALLING
HEY, I MISS YOU
My love.
Caio, you startled me!
-You trying to give me a heart attack? -No, I'd never hurt you. Hmm.
-Aren't you supposed to be in Rio? -I was.
I'm only here for a one-day turnaround.
I have to testify in court for a client's case.
-What for? -Mmm.
Why, are you being sued by them?
No, it's a Prosecutor's Office investigation.
Money laundering.
-What does that have to do with you? -Nothing.
It's normal to call the business partners in
to testify in this type of case.
-It's standard protocol. -Huh.
Thiago has the accounting records and balance sheets, it's cool.
And that guy,
Thiago, your partner, is the most organized person I know.
Really?
Okay, fine.
He's the second most organized person that I know.
After you, obviously, my love.
That's better.
Mmm. Hold on. Close your eyes.
I got you a surprise.
-Trust me. -Caio…
Open up.
Wow, they're beautiful, babe! Really.
-All right. -Put 'em on for me.
Let's see.
Okay?
-How do I look? -Amazing.
Amazing.
I'm gonna come.
-Yeah. -I'm gonna come.
Oh, babe.
Oh, that was good.
You all right?
You didn't think so? Huh?
-Of course, it's not that. -What's going on?
I was just thinking about the bike.
The motorcycle?
Yeah, someone offered to buy it, didn't I tell you?
Finally. Yeah, babe. That's good news.
You've got a lot to do for the wedding and that bike takes up a lot of your time.
How was your week? Is it too much to do all of the planning?
Well, I still have some of the decorations to figure out.
But it'll all work out.
I'm loving the life we're building together.
Same here.
I love you.
-Hungry? -Totally.
-I'll make us some spaghetti. -Someone's excited.
Makin' spaghetti.
With a nice bottle of wine.
Huh?
Girl, it's not like that. It wasn't one of those confusing dreams.
When you open the bathroom door
to find you're at the office in your grandma's house.
-This dream was real, very real. -Okay, listen.
"If you have a dream about cheating,
it doesn't mean you want to cheat on your partner."
See?
"It's more likely that you're betraying yourself
by making certain choices that you know deep down are going to be wrong for you."
Oh, I don't know, girl. Let's think about this.
You wanna get married?
It's a huge step for you.
I love Caio. Why wouldn't I want that?
You haven't slept with many guys other than Caio.
Maybe you have repressed desires.
I'd die of boredom if I had to sleep with the same guy for eternity.
You and I are different,
I don't know how you can trust guys from dating apps.
Girl, how's that more dangerous and risky
than sharing your whole life with someone?
-Mm. -Thank you.
-Another refill, please. -Hold on.
I wanna download something for you. It's a really cool app.
Oh, thanks.
This way I'll always know where you are, and if you're safe.
All right. But if you get to know where I go,
then I wanna know where you go.
Because if one day this app shows me that you're at a swinger's club,
-I'll know your dreams came true. -Shh!
Uh, I'll need to let this out, that's the only way to fix it.
Uh, no. You won't need to.
By the day of the wedding, it'll fit me!
Excuse me.
-Coffee? -Heck yeah.
-Thanks. -You need anything?
Mm-mm.
No, I'm reviewing the transactions that Caio made
with that construction company.
I wanna go to the hearing.
You'd be wasting your time.
It's just a preliminary hearing. I took care of everything already.
I know, but I'm his business partner, after all.
-It's my responsibility to go. -Don't say I didn't warn you.
-It's gonna be really boring. -That's okay.
Oh, look, Thiago.
Uh, it looks like the twin to mine.
It bums me out a little that I'm selling it.
-Then don't sell it. -Yeah.
This bike is from my old life. It won't fit in anymore.
When I have kids down the road.
We're late, Babi. We should go.
Yep.
ROAD HARPIES MOTORCYLE CLUB
-Where's Caio? -Guess he's late.
Hi, I'm here.
-I got stuck in traffic, sorry. -Okay.
Good morning.
I am Judge Marco Ladeia, I will be presiding here today.
Thank you for joining us. Let's now start this preliminary hearing.
Mr. Caio Siqueira, please take the stand.
Will you please describe in detail,
uh, the relationship of your import company
with the construction company called Melagold,
who is being accused of irregular financial operations,
conspiracy to commit fraud,
and money laundering for a known drug cartel?
Well, um, I started working with the company in 2009
and since then we've always worked with transparency.
My accountant brought all of our accounting records
for Your Honor to review.
And for those reasons, as Caio's accountant, I guarantee
my client had no connection to, nor was involved in these alleged charges.
That will be all for today.
This hearing is now adjourned and everyone is dismissed.
I told you.
Come on, let's go.
Well, babe, I gotta run off now to the airport
'cause I still have a meeting in Rio, okay?
-Now? -Yeah.
-I love you. Take care of her. -Sure thing.
New car?
It's a bit over the top.
-By the way. -Hm?
-You wanna come to my bachelorette party? -Isn't that just a women only thing?
-You're my best friend. -Ah.
-You have privileges. -I see.
Well, you might have more fun with just your girlfriends.
-You wanna go somewhere for lunch? -I can't.
I have to say goodbye to my friend.
-Hi. I am. -Hello. You're Camille?
-Take care of her. -Sure thing.
Yeah! Take it off!
Hello! Take it off! Take it off! Yeah!
BRIDE
Did you see that?
Gorgeous! My God, you are hot!
Amazing!
Damn, do you see his abs?
Ah!
Surprise!
Your bachelorette party gift is here!
-Girl, you've gone insane. -It's paid. Go take him to a room.
-I can't do that, no way! -Loosen up. Caio will never suspect.
Why not enjoy it?
I won't do it. You paid for it.
-You'll have more fun. -You're serious?
-Just go before I regret it. -I'll do it for you!
-Go! -I'll be quick, promise. Come on.
Come with me, you gorgeous, sexy man!
-Come on! -You go girl!
Oh, my God!
It's from you? All right, let's see, huh.
Show us.
Ooh!
You got me a clit-sucker.
After a couple of years of marriage, I bet you'll use it more than Caio.
Well, thanks.
-I got everyone's gift, right? -You have one more. Hold on.
-Ooh, who's is it? -Who is it?
"For Babi, a little surprise from a secret admirer."
-Open it! Open it! -Open it! Open it!
Oh, my goodness.
So mysterious.
Babi?
-Look. -It's Caio!
-It's Caio with someone else. -Babi?
He's with another girl.
I don't believe it.
Babi?
Open the door, babe. Come on out.
-No. -Everyone's gone home.
I'm never coming out of here.
Please, come on, Babi!
-Paty-- -I'm so glad you're here.
I've tried everything but she won't come out!
I can hear you!
Oh, my God.
Hey Babi. Look, it's Thiago.
Open the door, please.
Why bother, huh?
To look everyone in the eye and tell them the wedding's off?
That the man I love is a liar and a cheater?
-I'd rather die than come out. -Come on, Babi.
There's a ton of us who love you and want to see you happy.
Why did he do that to me, Thiago?
Honestly, I don't know, Babi.
But I'm so, so sorry, really.
I swear I'll do anything you say. Ask whatever you want. I'll do it.
There's somewhere I wanna go.
Babi, this is a really bad idea. Why cause yourself even more pain?
Stop being a wimp, Thiago. It's a damn good idea.
If this is what Babi wants, we're doing it.
I really need to know who this woman is. I need to know about her.
What her name is? How long they've been dating?
-How long has he been cheating? -All right.
Let's go.
-Good evening, Júnior. -Good evening. What can I help you with?
You remember Babi, right? She's Caio's fiancé.
So, we need to go to his office to, uh--
Actually, she needs to go there and, uh,
go get something for him that she left there.
If you could let us up, that would be really great.
Unfortunately, there's no way I can let you in without Caio's permission.
-I understand completely, that's what-- -Here's the thing.
Their wedding is right around the corner and he's traveling.
She wants to leave him a surprise present.
You don't want to ruin a nice thing like that, huh?
The world needs more romance.
Don't you think?
Why not?
Told you.
-This has to be quick. -It'll be fast. It'll be really quick.
-I'm supposed to cover the desk. -Fuck no.
Hey, so, hum, come this way with me.
I want to tell you something in private.
-Come one! -Babi. Babi, wait.
I wanna find out everything about this woman!
-This is crazy. -His laptop, it's gotta have something.
Even if you find something, you're only gonna get hurt.
I don't care!
All right. Password.
I can't stay much.
Come here, let me show you something.
-What is it? Show me. -A sweet little treat!
-Oh yeah! This is how I like it. -Oh!
-You wanna see this big boy? Huh? -Oh, yeah. I wanna see.
My birthday? No way.
Idiot. You're an idiot!
We should leave.
Fucking hell!
-I'm busted if anyone hears them. -I only wanna hear you.
Oh, just keep your eyes here.
I doubt he would leave anything here. We should go.
"To Nicole,
happy two-year anniversary, my love.
Cheers to many more. I love you. Caio."
He's been with her for two years.
I'm sorry. I don't know what to say.
I think we should just leave.
Son of a bitch!
-I'm close! -Bastard!
Screw this! He's gonna pay for this shit.
Screw him and fuck all these contracts.
-I should go check. -Oh yeah! Oh!
It's his bottle of Scotch!
Do you know how much this thing costs? Fuck it!
And this one. Always talking about his whiskey.
-Another one. Nice bottle. Fucking dick! -Babi…
Bastard. The glasses I bought him when he opened his office.
I'm gonna get fire, I'm serious. You can text me.
Stay. Don't tell me that's all you've got.
Not even close.
-Clown! Stupid idiot! -Babi. Babi.
-Wait, Babi! -Stop, Thiago!
-Give me your coat. Give me your coat. -What for?
-Give it to me. -Let's see it.
You wanna see my big sucker?
Uh-huh.
You can't take his laptop. We could go to jail, and we'll be fucked!
Everything's already fucked. Let's go.
Come on, Thiago!
-Hey, I really gotta leave. -No, just wait.
-I need to go. No. -Wait a sec. Stay. I won't let you leave.
Babi…
The noise came from somewhere else.
Oh.There they are.
-Did everything work? -It did.
My dear fiancé will adore the gift I left for him.
I'll fill you in later. Just text me, 'kay?
You guys, don't judge me, okay? Just don't.
Oh my God, that was the craziest stunt I think I've ever done.
Babi, you sure you don't want either of us to stay with you tonight?
Yeah, I just wanna be alone, okay?
All right girl. Take care, yeah?
-Thanks. -You should get some rest, okay?
Alexa,
why did he cheat on me?
I'm not able to find an answer to your question.
Shit.
I'm trying to pretend that I'm okay, but I'm not, I'm not all right.
But I will be.I will be okay.
Babi?
Babi! Come on!
-Open this or I'll break it down! -Calm down.
Here, I'm here.
-What's this? -You need to snap out of this.
I'm not ready to snap out of it just yet.
But you are. Now wash your face and come out.
Hey.
How's it going?
Ah, man.
No idea.
I don't know what I want, what I like.
It's like an identity crisis.
Suggestion.
What would you never do to your hair if you were still with Caio?
Hmm?
Gorgeous!
I want to cut all our ties with Caio. I don't want his business here.
Wow.
-First, good morning. -Good morning.
-Welcome back. -Thank you.
Today, we're cancelling his contract.
If I were you, I would watch out for him.
A liar like him will do whatever he has to and might screw you.
I understand how you're feeling, Babi.
You're totally right.
But as your friend, I have to warn you.
You can't let your emotions take control.
His business represents almost a third of our income.
We can't cut him out this quickly.
-You don't wanna be too hasty. -Yeah, but Thiago,
I don't want him here, I don't--
-Wait. -Take the call. I'll be in my office.
Okay.
-Hello? -Bárbara?
This is João, Judge Marco Ladeia's assistant.
I left you a few messages, but wasn't able to reach you.
Your folder is still here.
Um, all right, good, I'll come pick it up. Thanks.
Hey there.
I'm here to grab my folder.
You're Bárbara, right?
Yes, sir.
Please.
This way.
-Thanks. -Of course.
-You're the one who forgot the folder. -Mm-hmm.
Marco. Nice to meet you.
Bárbara. But you can call me Babi.
Babi.
Uh, excuse me.
Here's your folder.
-Thanks. -You're welcome.
Mm, I'm gonna go.
Thanks again.
Thank you.
What's so funny?
"The Road Harpies Motorcycle Club.
Interesting.
Babi.
Caio? What are you doing here?
-I need to talk to you. -Are you following me?
-You're avoiding me. -Yeah, we have nothing
to say to each other even again.
I'm just asking for a chance to explain myself.
-Please. -Explain what, Caio?
What?
I love you.
I'm not with her, okay?
You and I have been together five years. Can we go somewhere and talk?
-Let's figure this out. -And in those five years,
two years you were with her.
You're a bastard. There's nothing you could say.
-Wait, just-- -Don't touch me!
Is this guy bothering you?
We're just discussing a private matter.
I want you to leave.
I'll go.
But I won't give up on us.
Are you all right?
Yeah.
I'm okay.
Thank you.
Another one, please.
-Feeling better? -Sure.
No, I'm pissed.
Who's that guy to you?
Ex-fiancé.
Current stalker.
Always an asshole.
There should be a way to create some kind of magnetic field around our exes.
Like when an ex appears, then, pow!
They're shocked and sent flying backwards.
Are you married?
Uh, no. I'm…
just like the kind of person who needs this magnetic field, like you said.
Uh, do you know that woman?
Be right back. Just a minute.
Yeah, do what you got to do.
Mm. The check, please.
-Hey, Paty. -Hey, girl.
Sorry I took so long. I'm on a date,
the guy was in the middle of a sentence, you know I'm polite.
I didn't want to interrupt.
No, go back to your date, silly. We can always talk later.
No, no. We can talk now. This guy is dull.
He talks too much and I just wanna get laid!
He already told me the name of his ex's turtle!
It's not a big deal. I just wanted to tell you something.
Remember that really hot judge from the hearing?
Yeah. You hooked up?
Well, no. I thought something might happen,
because we went for a drink by the courthouse,
but then this woman showed up and she kept staring,
then he got all tense and weird.
So I just left.
Yeah, that's weird.
I know, so I tried to do a search and found nothing on the guy.
Nothing. Not one photo, there's no social media, nothing.
He's a ghost.
Hey, girl, sorry, say that again, I didn't hear you.
Forget it. I'm almost home. I'll call you later.
-Yep. Later. -Bye.
Thiago, where are you?
Uh, someone broke into my place and tore it apart.
Can you come over?
Doesn't look like anything's missing here.
Nothing was taken from here either.
-Thanks for coming, for real. -Of course, Babi.
-I was worried. -I'm all right.
Well, apparently it wasn't a robbery. It's more like a…
-Yeah. -…a really big mess.
-You know who I think did it? -Hm?
It was Caio.
Why would he do this?
No idea, Thiago.
I saw him earlier at the courthouse.
We just argued, and Marco came to my rescue.
-Marco? -The judge from the hearing, remember?
I left my folder there so I went back to grab it.
Okay, but what were you doing before Caio got there?
Hey, can't I know about it?
You guys dating?
No.
-No, I mean it. -Hm.
Seriously, we're not together. There was a spark, we had a drink.
That's it, not a big deal.
I don't know, Babi.
Be careful.
I think it's really strange that this judge is hanging around.
Seriously, you're vulnerable.
I want you to be happy.
I want you to go back to the Babi
who's a ray of sunshine and vibrant, like you used to be.
I want that too.
But I think I lost that version of me during those five years with Caio.
I don't really know who I am anyone.
I know who you are.
You're an amazing woman who's just going through a rough patch.
And know that I'm always here for you.
I know you are.
But not just as a friend.
I can be more than that, Babi.
I'm also…
Um… It's-- I mean, um… We really shouldn't.
-I'm sorry. -I'm sorry too. I'm not doing well.
Well…So…
do you need any more help with this mess?
No.It'll be a good distraction for me to clean this up tonight.
-See you tomorrow? -Count on it.
-Good night. -Good night.
Get some rest.
-I will. -See ya.
Hey, Camille, how's it going? Uh, it's Babi. Do you remember me?
Actually, something has come up, and I really need to get my bike back.
Are you the new girl?
That's right. Babi.
-Alexandre. -Nice to see you.
The guys were excited to see what you're about.
It's been a while since we had a girl in the club.
I'm sure it can't be easy being around all these men.
-What's the hold-up then? -Still waiting on one guy.
Finally.
All right, let's hit it!
You're lucky I haven't ridden in awhile.
Or I'd already be at the pool in my bikini waiting for you guys.
Oh, yeah?
I saw this bike over at the courthouse.
I had no idea it was yours.
If I'd seen your ride, I wouldn't have figured it belonged to you.
Want a hand?
Thanks.
Well, this is a nice surprise.
What do you like to drink?
Try taking a guess. What do you think I like to drink?
Ah…
I bet you'd drink something like maybe…
champagne.
-The expensive kind. -Not a bad guess.
Open a bottle of champagne please! Give me your best.
It's my treat, all right?
Consider it a welcome present for joining our little club.
If I had known I'd get treated this well, I would've joined sooner.
Yeah, you get special treatment.
I wouldn't get a glass of tap water for these hooligans.
-Thanks. -You got it.
-Oh, look who decided to join us. -Hi.
I reserved the best spot on the beach to watch the sunset together.
Wanna come along?
Why not?
This is really good, thanks.
Great spot that you got for us out here.
I love this view.
-I've never brought anyone here. -Really?
I just got used to always doing things alone.
Actually, I prefer it.
Except,
with you, it's different.
Will you think I'm crazy if I tell you something?
What is it?
I think you were in one of my dreams before we met each other.
-You serious? -Yeah, I swear.
What was the dream about?
I don't know if I have the guts to tell you that.
Try.
Okay.
We were just, um, riding our motorcycles,
going superfast, and it was raining…
Mm-hmm.
Then you hurt your arm because you fell off your bike.
And then we went into a dark warehouse.
-And? -And…
Take a guess.
Is that a good guess?
Uh-huh.
You wanna answer that?
I'm sorry.
Hello?
What? No.
Meaning?
Unbelievable. Again?
Sorry, this is urgent. I have to deal with it.
Yeah?
No, I can get there on my bike. I'll be there soon.
Okay.
If this shit keeps happening, I might go ballistic.
You mean he just left you there, alone? This guy's a joker.
Tell me about it. I really wanted to hook up with him.
I mean, it felt good.
So are you gonna hook up with him later?
No clue. I think he's already gone.
And the way he left was kinda weird, too.
It's the universe trying to give me a sign.
"Forcing is no good."
Hey, I'm wearing these.
Let me see.
Girl, those panties are horrid.
-Exactly, my dear. These are perfect! -And why is that?
Uh, I don't really wanna sleep with this guy.
If I wanna go to his house to fuck around, I'll remember I'm wearing these panties,
and I won't go.
Why go out with the guy?
I hate staying around here with nothing to do on the weekend!
That makes sense why you'd need to wear those panties.
-Hm. Bye, Paty, tchau! -All right, bye.
Babi?
A few of us are gonna go eat.
And we can get more drinks.
Wanna come with?
Thanks, although, I'd rather take a walk on the beach.
Want company?
No, thanks.
Gotta shoot my shot.
-I'm really sorry about earlier, Babi. -You don't have to explain.
I did want to hook up with you earlier.
But that's all.
I'm not looking for a boyfriend or anything that serious.
So please, there's no need to waste your time with excuses.
I got it.
More or less.
What I'm saying…
is if you're gonna waste your time on me…
then do something different.
It's a race? Yeah?
"I had to go. One day, I'll tell you my story.
Thank you for the best night of my life."
-Good morning. -We were all waiting for you.
We can go now.
Uh, look.
I don't know what's up with you and Marco, but don't stress.
That guy is strange. He doesn't talk to any of the guys.
He's kinda mysterious. You might wanna keep your distance.
STAY AWAY FROM MARCO
-Wow, Babi. That's super creepy. -Right?
At least the sex was good though.
-Stop, okay? Quit playing. -I'm sorry.
-You should file a police report. -Who do I file it against?
I have no idea who did this.
I mean, it could've been Caio, for obvious reasons. But--
-Bye. See ya. -Goodbye.
It might've been his other ex.
It could be that crazy lady from the bar when I went with Marco.
Maybe it's Thiago.
-Thiago? -Not so loud.
-But he's your partner. And best friend. -I know.
You're right, but things were so weird the last time I talked to him.
-I never told you. -Hmm.
He came to my house and confessed how he felt.
And then?
He said he wanted to be more than friends. Ugh.
And? Tell me right now. What'd he do next?
Then he kissed me.
-Say what? On the mouth? -Uh-huh.
No, on my cheek. Of course, Paty.
I am so shocked. Gossip of the year.
I'm so confused.
I don't know what to think.
No, wait. I couldn't have been Thiago. You know why?
The same night that you were at the resort,
he was with a group of friends, there's no way he could've followed you.
-How do you know? -Well, look at this.
See, he posted this video. He was nowhere near you.
I'm glad you saw this.
See what I'm going through? I'm going crazy.
-Especially if I suspect my best friend. -Calm down.
Calm down. Anyone would be confused.
-Thanks so much. -No, listen up.
Do not let these fools get you upset. Because you are a goddess.
-Yeah. -Focus on what you want, on your dreams.
Snap out of it.
-Now, come on. Let's go. -Yeah, enough of this.
MISSED CALL
"Expensive whiskeys."
"Good Saints, a rare collection from 1937."
You're mine!
Got you, sucker.
IMPORT CONTRACT
-Thiago. -Yeah?
Come in here.
Look at this.
Do you know how serious this is, Thiago?
Fake accounts that were never set up through our company.
-How did you miss this? -No way.
He's involved in that construction lawsuit.
-He's been scamming us since the start. -Son of a bitch.
This is serious.
I thought he was going overboard with his spending.
-I didn't want to worry you about it. -Now what?
I don't know, Babi.
I could go over to his office. I wanna kick his ass.
No, no. Hold on. Right now we need to use our heads.
-Just keep it cool. -No way.
-Yeah. -How, Babi?
This guy's a criminal, a crook. He's not the Caio you used to know.
-He should be punished for what he did. -Look at me.
If you give him a beating, he'll have grounds to sue you,
giving him time to clear himself, any evidence is gone!
We need to be smarter than him.
We have to keep this laptop and take it to the Prosecutor.
Or we take it right to the judge!
-Marco? -Yes.
I think he'd help us with this.
Okay. But I think we should take it to our lawyers first.
They should weigh in on this. Who knows, they might have a better idea.
-Okay. -Babi.
I swear I didn't know anything.
I refuse to be an accomplice to this crime.
Yeah, same here.
I got your back on this no matter what.
Wait a second.
Excuse me, are you, uh, Bárbara Vieira?
-I have a delivery for you. -Thanks.
Bye now.
Who sent those?
Marco.
That figures.
Look, Babi, don't get me wrong.
I think it's really strange how this judge is harassing you.
-Yikes, Thiago, for real. -No, not "yikes".
Didn't you tell me to watch out?
There are a lot of bad guys in the world.
-Sorry. -Tchau.
He's jealous. Ignore him.
Read it, Paty.
"I'm sorry for the way I left the other day.
How about dinner tomorrow at my place?
I'll send you a car at 7pm sharp."
Hmm, that's classy.
I don't think so. I don't wanna go either, okay?
After all the crap I've been through with Caio, I can't risk it.
And what if Thiago's right? If Marco is, uh, a snake after all?
If you keep thinking that every guy is a liar,
you're never gonna get another date. You know I'm right.
I don't know if he deserves a second chance.
You know what I think?
I think some of the best things in life
are miracles disguised as second chances.
I'm not saying this so you give Marco another chance.
Why not give yourself one?
Poetic. Is that one yours?
No, but it doesn't matter if I read it off a fortune cookie or in a book.
What matters is the message.
I was afraid you wouldn't come tonight.
And I was afraid to come over.
I'm glad you're here.
-May I? -Yes.
I set up a little place for us out here.
Thank you.
-Pour you some wine? -Please do.
-I hope you like rack of lamb. -Did you make this?
Mm-hmm.
I suspected that he'd been stealing from his partner.
-And then? -Then I confronted the guy,
in front of everyone and, of course, she took his side, and I was let go.
It took several months of paying off the janitor to give me
all the guy's trash after his shift ended.
That's how I managed to find the evidence I needed to put together a written report,
then I sent it to his partner's house with flowers.
After that, she ended their partnership,
and then offered me a job, but by that time, I was focused
on trying to become a judge, but I needed to study,
-so I turned it down. -Wow.
You were already like that at 19?
Obsessed?
I believe in seeking out the truth.
Well, a toast to the truth, hm?
Toast to the truth.
I'd forgotten that life could be this carefree.
Or enticing.
I had forgotten who I used to be.
-Um, I need to use the bathroom. -Uh, sure.
It's down the hall, at the end, on the left.
Thanks.
What are you doing here?
Uh…
I think I went to the wrong door.
The bathroom is that way.
Okay.
-Your phone's been ringing off the hook. -Let me see.
Oh, it's my friend Paty.
We have a safety app where we can see both of our real-time locations.
Let me tell her I'm fine.
Hey, Paty. I forgot to tell you that I decided to have dinner at Marco's.
He's treating me well.
I just found out his life's a paradox.
He's obsessed with the truth
and mysterious at the same time.
Well, there's no need to worry,
he doesn't seem like he's dangerous.
Call you later.
It's so hard for me to trust anyone.
To share my feelings.
I've had to deal with a lot recently.
It's complicated.
It's still a mess.
Although with you by my side,
I feel like I have a new lease on life and things can get better again.
You always say that your life is complicated.
But what is it that's so complicated that you won't tell me?
Get out of my way.
-Don't touch me. -I'm going to call Mr. Marco.
I know he's in there.
-Ms. Paula… -Keep your hands off me.
I'm going to call Mr. Marco, but you have to wait downstairs.
Wait downstairs? You're crazy. This is my house too.
Paula, what are you doing here? Would you please leave?
So you're the slut who's seeing my husband?
Husband?
-It's not what you think. -So you're married?
Yes, yes, yes. We're married, of course.
We're very married. You had no idea?
Aw, what a sad little face.
So, you believed his sad little story, huh?
The poor, disillusioned man who's hurt and needs to be taken care of?
-Shut up, Paula. -No, don't tell me to shut up.
She should know the truth.
I think she'd wanna know how much you've hurt me.
How you destroyed my life,
and abandoned me just when I needed you the most.
She should know what an evil monster you really are.
I mean, if he did all that to me, to his own wife,
I can't imagine what he would do to you.
A meaningless hook-up.
-Babi… -Excuse me.
You had no right.
-Go! Go away. Just leave. -Babi, wait!
-Listen to me. I-- -Let me go.
You always seek out the truth, huh?
It's all smoke and mirrors to hide what a liar you are.
Don't ever talk to me again.
Don't come after me.
Hey there, Sleeping Beauty.
-Hey, girl. -Want some food?
Uh-uh.
Come on, have some soup.
Hey guys.
I'm gonna take your parents to eat, okay?
-Okay. -What do you think? Let's go.
-Sure. -Thanks, Paty.
-Take care of her. -You got it.
Got you bonbons.
Just what I want.
Hi.
Holy shit.
You scared us, Babi.
I did, huh?
What matters is that you'll be okay now, out of danger.
I hope you're right.
Oh, Thi, I don't…
I don't remember all that much…
but I have this strange feeling, that car tried to run me off the road.
-Oh purpose? -Uh-huh.
That's bad. Who'd do that to you?
I have no idea.
I'm not sure if that really happened, but…
it was just a gut feeling.
Although Caio…
Caio?
Honestly, I have no clue what to think.
Hey there.
I'm happy to see you're okay.
There's nothing we need to talk about.
That's okay, we don't have to talk right now.
I just wanted to see you.
You have.
Look…
Babi appreciates
the flowers,
but she really needs to rest.
I think you should leave now.
You okay?
Good.
Hey, Fernando, it's Marco. How goes it, man?
I have a favor I need to ask you for something.
I'm gonna need to check out some traffic footage.
I also need to put a wiretap on someone.
-Hey, honey, you're okay. -Thanks, mom.
-You're the best. -Feeling better?
-Mm-hmm. -Now you can get some rest, right?
And that's it.
Here you go. Careful, it's hot.
-Thanks. -Of course.
It'll be good to get back to the office and do some work.
-I might swing by the there tomorrow. -Don't bother.
-Thiago and I have it all covered. -But I wanna go in.
There's no reason to stay here.
I don't want to go in a downward spiral.
All righty then. I'm not gonna let that happen on my watch.
If I start to feel crappy, I swear I'll come back.
-I promise. -Yeah, all right.
Can you get that for me, Mom, please?
Hello? Hold on a minute, please.
Uh, Marco is out front.
Marco?
Hi.
I know it's probably not a good time, but…
I wanna explain myself after what went down.
More than just explain.
I'd rather you actually see for yourself.
Vitória was born with a rare condition.
Emanuel Syndrome.
It causes extremely weak muscles.
She also has some developmental problems.
A malformation of her intestines, as well as a heart defect.
-Paula is Vitória's mother? -Yeah.
And you guys are married?
We were married. Four years.
At first, we were happy together.
But even before she-- she got pregnant,
I'd already been worried about Paula's mental health.
After she got pregnant, it just got worse.
I tried everything.
I took her to doctors, psychiatrists, but…
she'd quit her treatment as soon as she started it.
Then Vitória was born, and we learned about her disability.
I thought that getting married and becoming a mother
would give me a purpose.
But instead, it feels like the other way around.
I've…
been losing myself little by little.
There's no end in sight.
I know it won't end.
But you kept taking care of her?
Yes, of course. We stayed together. I tried.
Until one night when she came to the hospital…
Paula took Vitória from her room and tried to leave with her.
Vitória can't survive without the machines.
Thankfully, I was already there. I stopped her.
To save my daughter's life,
I had to file a restraining order to keep Vitória safe, away from Paula.
That was the hardest decision of my life.
That's why that day on the pier I had to leave, to go handle that.
They called me from the hospital saying that she was trying to get at her.
After all that,
I swore I'd never get involved with anyone ever again.
But to be honest…
I have utterly and completely fallen in love with you.
My divorce with Paula is about to be finalized.
Any day now.
Then I can finally live my life again.
Well then, I think we should wait then, right?
I've waited long enough, Babi.
I know exactly what I want.
Marco, I need some time to process all of this.
Um, it's a lot to think about.
And I also have a serious problem at work to deal with.
Give me some time.
Give us some time.
Sure.
I'll wait.
Thank you, Fernando.
You'll know if there's anything on the wiretap.
-Good man. -Bye.
-They found the license plate. -And?
It was stolen. This gets more and more suspicious.
Maybe it's a random coincidence, I'm not sure.
Just to be safe, Fernando set up a wiretap.
You can get yourself in some serious shit for this.
You are a judge.
I really need to know what's going on. I have to protect Babi.
Decaf for you.
I'm getting taking care of when you're the one who needs to recover?
I'm really glad you're back.
Yeah, same here. Hey, let me ask you something.
What's going on with the laptop we took from Caio?
Did you give it to the lawyers? What's the verdict?
Yeah, I left the laptop with them,
but this will take some time, Babi, you know that, right?
I gave it some thought and I think we should take it to Marco's office.
But Marco is the judge, Babi.
The one on the case. It's a bad idea.
Maybe. But he's turning out to be a really great person,
and he wants to help us out.
He'd even expedite the whole process.
Should we do that though?
We can't let Caio get away with it.
Then that's it.
Yeah, you're right, let's do it. I'm with you.
Off to court, then? We'll go?
I'm gonna stop at my place to grab the copies of the files.
-Oh, you made copies? -Why wouldn't I?
It's all saved to a hard disk and the cloud.
So I'll pick them up.
Right on, that's smart.
Uh…
I still have a few things to handle here,
but I'll come pick you up at your house in two hours, does that work?
Sounds good.
-All right. Okay. -See you then.
The chair?
I'm aware.
Hey, Caio.
What happened to you?
These guys broke into my house. I was tortured.
They're watching everything we do, Thiago.
They told me that if I don't fix this shit I should expect the worst.
You have to tell them this isn't my fault.
-I didn't give the laptop to Babi. -It's no use.
What Babi knows incriminates all of us.
Fuck, I don't wanna be involved in this shit anymore.
I want out.
Let me make this clear.
If we don't get rid of Babi and the evidence,
then they'll get rid of us too.
When you promised I'd get more money with this construction shit,
I had no idea we'd end up working for a crime syndicate.
What'd you fucking expect?
You acted like you didn't know where the cash came from,
but you had no problem spending it all.
A new car, jewelry…
whiskey,
women.
You blew it all away, so I had to split up you and Babi.
I did everything I could to keep her out of it.
I stalked her,
threatened her,
even had someone run her off the road, but Babi's stubborn.
And now she's in love with that judge.
And even with what little brain cells you have in there,
you have to realize what that means.
From now on…
it's her or us.
What would you choose?
Babi's in serious danger.
Hey.
-You got everything? -I do.
Got it right here.
Let's go.
I'm really glad we're taking this stuff over to Marco.
I think we are doing the right thing.
No doubt it is.
Thiago, the courthouse is the other way.
Yes, Babi, you're right, it's the other way.
So then what route is this?
What's going on?
What's this?
You should keep quiet, Babi.
Ugh. Come on, Babi, answer!
Don't answer it.
-I'm in the car with Thiago. He's got a-- -Hang up!
-Stop! Thiago, you're gonna crash! -Give me that shit.
Try me! Shut the fuck up!
Fuck. Fuck!
Don't ever try that shit again with me!
Hello? Marco?
Hello, Paty, thank God. Babi's in grave danger.
Do you still have that location app?
-I do, wait just a sec, let me check it. -Please hurry.
-Go! -Here. Here it is.
She's on Marginal Pinheiros Road turning on Gwido Caloy Avenue.
Don't hang up. Stay on the line.
Thiago, if this is about the evidence, if you're somehow involved, we can talk.
You're like my brother, I'd never hurt you, I swear.
I don't trust you anymore, Babi.
Now shut the fuck up and let me drive, okay?
-Hello? Officer Aguiar? -Hey, Marco.
I have evidence that two men are planning to murder an innocent woman.
I'm sending you my location.
-Okay. -No time to waste. Hurry.
Look, don't do anything until the police get there.
All right.
-Where is she? -They're going to the reservoir.
I'm on it.
Babi, listen closely.
You'll get out of the car,
and you'll do whatever I say.
If you try to run…
if you scream…
I'll put a bullet hole in your brain.
Got it?
Get out of the car, Babi.
-Fucking move it! -Please, stop, Thiago. Stop.
Keep going, then take the next right.
Marco, save Babi.
Thiago, you don't have to do this.
I'll pretend I don't know anything, and I didn't say a word to Marco.
Walk.
I saw the statements that were forged,
I saw the fake receipts, there's no way you'd be incriminated.
I can help you out.
Let me help you get out of this.
I want revenge on Caio, I have nothing against you.
You're my best friend, Thiago.
You didn't mean to do it. You got caught in Caio's lies like I did.
Shut up!
Shut the fuck up right now.
Shut up, you don't know shit at all, okay?
No.
Hold this.
No.
Get in the grave.
Why are you both doing this to me?
I just wanted to have more cash.
And Caio just wanted to fuck other women.
But you had to stick your nose where it didn't belong.
If I don't get rid of you, they'll kill me.
That's why you have to die.
No.
You do it.
Fuck, Thiago.
You're the one who wanted in.
That's how it goes. If you know too much, they'll put you in the ground.
I need to know you've got my back on this.
It's her or us.
Don't do this.
Don't do it, don't do it. Don't do it, Caio. Look at me.
-I love you. -Kill her.
Look at me, Caio.
Shoot her fucking now!
Fuck, I can't do it, Thiago.
-Are you crazy? -I can't do it.
-They're gonna kill us! -Fuck you! No!
No, wait.
No, wait. Thia--
What have you done?
Oh, Caio!
What have I done?
Look what you made me do, God damn it!
You fucking bastard!
Marco!
Calm down. I'm putting it down, I'm putting it down.
It's over, Babi.
Look at me.
Stay with me. I've got you.
Two men have been arrested after trying to kill a woman
last night in the South of São Paulo.
The suspects, Caio Siqueira and Thiago Freitas,
were involved in a money laundering scheme
and were arrested after being found out by Bárbara Vieira,
who was Thiago's partner at their accounting firm.
Caio and Thiago planned to murder Bárbara but were stopped…
It'll be all right.
…the judge presiding over their case.
AMBULANCE
SIX MONTHS LATER
The doctors are thrilled.
She's gets discharged this week, and finally comes back.
Great, Marco.
I think Vitória is really lucky to be your daughter.
I'm the lucky one to be her dad.
Oh, it's Paty.
Hey, my friend! How's my jetsetter doing? What's the hotel like?
I'm loving it so much. Your suggestion was worth it.
Although listen, yo, I've got a bomb to drop on you.
-I didn't tell you before I left because-- -Tell me. I hate mysteries.
After so many years of being down in the gutter,
making out with all of São Paulo, I'm finally settling down.
You're joking.
I'm in a relationship.
You're in a relationship? Is this for real?
-What, you don't believe me? -No.
Babe, look. Remember this guy?
-Ah, hey! How's it going? -Mmm.
The guy from you-know-who's office? You're kidding!
Hi, how are you? It's been a while.
Oh, for real girl, we're so happy. All three of us.
What's that?
The three of us. Me, Júnior, and Rodrigo.
All right, well, once again
I'm at a loss for words when it comes to your escapades.
We'll talk later. I just wanted to tell you the news.
I have so much to do.
Well, cool, I hope you're all very happy!
