MALTHUS SNACK BAR - AFTERNOONAurélio mentally disapproves of Monica's stolen and adulterated book, especially with such an appealing cover. However, Fábio makes fun of him, thinking that Aurélio only bothered with the muscular guy on the cover.He calls the attention of his customer's boyfriend, "It's not just the shirtless guy, young man. Everything here is obscene, not just sexual. Regardless of the cover, what happened was a crime!"Monica tries to contain his spirits, "We have been informed, Seu Aurélio, that if I try to appeal in court, they will claim my failure to obtain the ISBN. And they are right."Fábio addresses Monica, "Yeah, my love, you were pasting those campaign posters to the police station, you could have seen those registers to protect the book. You need to focus on your career if you want to stand out."Aurélio is even less fond of Fábio. He pours sugarcane juice into a glass, just for Monica. Fábio doesn't even notice. Monica accepts the juice and drinks it. On

WELLINGTON'S KITCHENETTE - NIGHTWellington opens the door for Célio and Cássio to enter. Luis is already inside, sitting on the bed. There are a few plastic chairs and a few cans of beer in the sink."Look," Cassio says, "I think it gives space for a small dining table here."Wellington speaks going to the sink, "Be patient that I can, one day, add the money to buy. With these services without a formal contract, we can't count on buying things in installments. You have to pay everything in cash."Célio and Cássio accept the cans willingly."You are covered in reason." Célio says, "Cássio has his nose in the air because tomorrow is his first day at work."Wellington still didn't know, "Look how cool! Congratulations, Cássio, I still didn't know.""I knew it," Luis said, proud to be at least one step ahead, "So, shall we play a game?"Wellington reacts with his head, a slight grimace, "Wait a minute, Luis. You won't be able to play cards with five guys.""Five? Who's still missing?"Th

WELLINGTON'S KITCHENETTE - DAYAfter thinking for a while, Wellington lets Penha in. She thanks him and he closes the door."Does your boyfriend know you're here?"Penha sighs in displeasure. Wellington pulls out a plastic chair for her to sit on. Penha sits down and notices the domino pieces scattered on the floor.Wellington sits on the bed, not to be too close to her, "Sorry, but I was still asleep and I didn't tidy anything.""I have the habit of waking people up. I get up as if I were in the fields."Wellington smiles slightly.Penha continues, "And to answer your question: no, he doesn't know, and if it depends on events, he won't be my boyfriend anymore."Wellington's smile is gone. He leans forward, "Are you really serious? I'm sorry, Dona Penha.""You can cut the 'Dona'. You are an educated boy, I congratulate you. You are a good boy for the little I know you, so I wanted to check if you are aware of what you are getting into."Wellington is more interested in the conversatio

WELLINGTON'S KITCHENETTE - DAYWellington decides to tell Penha what he knows about Ricardo, even though he fears that this could harm his own. If she feels it can be dangerous, why take the risk of wanting him to tell her everything and break up?Penha realizes Wellington's fear and tries to calm him down, "Let's make one thing very clear, Wellington: you don't have to be afraid that Ricardo will kill me. That will never happen.""Usually in the movies, the thug's girlfriend who reveals the scheme to the authorities gone bad if he isn't arrested first.""He is not going to do that because Ricardo never wanted to draw undue attention to himself. Murder is something very serious, which requires a lot of investigation. And he cannot afford to want the police to investigate him."Wellington bounces on the mattress, "But, he helped the police station campaign, or at least tried it, according to what they told me!""Did your friend Carina help?"Wellington looks like someone who got the ri

COR-DE-ROSA STATIONERY - DAYFábio feels he heard badly or he really heard Rosa say that Penha is Ricardo's girlfriend when Monica complained to him that the same Ricardo is after Carina."Is this Ricardo the same one who was accused out there of installing a clandestine electrical power connection? One that Chief Roldão keeps picking on?""That one," Rosa splits, curious, "Why, do you know him?""No, but Monica told another story about him. She said that Ricardo is going after another friend of ours, Carina, with the firm purpose of dating. Now you tell me you gave a copy of Monica's book to his girlfriend called Penha! Am I getting confused or is this guy playing with two women?"Rosa is upset with Carina. Ricardo might have asked her to keep a secret, but apparently, Carina told Monica, and Monica told Fábio.So she makes a decision. She pulls a sheet of paper out of her notebook and writes Penha's phone. Then, hand the paper over to him."What number is this?""Her phone number. I
