DIEGO'S OFFICE - AFTERNOONLawyer Diego Cardozo's office is located in one of these office buildings located Downtown. It's not very spacious, it's just his corner. The central office where the whole family operates is located in another building and occupies the entire floor. Here Diego has his privacy; he doesn't even need a secretary. He has his desk, his computer, drawers, cabinets, and files that he organizes and keeps, a window with blinds... something very intimate and personal.Now he is in his place and on the other side of the table is Ricardo, listening to his lawyer about the progress of the case."We need to define at once who the people we are going to sue in court. Miriam Abreu is clear that yes, but this Chief Roldão... Neglect to fulfill his duty just because the accused was his girlfriend. And when he discovered the connection between you and your girlfriend, it went from negligence to total refusal, culminating in an unjust and arbitrary prison. Not satisfied, he th

STREETS - AFTERNOONCarina is walking happily down the sidewalk to shop at the Rio Market, thinking about the happiness she will be when she smashes Miriam like an insect in the Courts. With the help of her beloved Ricardo and the efficient lawyer Cardozo, everything will be fine.She still not understands why Monica emphasized Cardozo as "beautiful and sensual" if that wasn't the case. Was Monica trying to arouse Carina's lustful feelings for the lawyer? Hot as chocolate he is, but Carina only had eyes of love for Ricardo Oliveira.A view of the street interrupted Carina's meditations. She sees her archenemy Miriam riding her bicycle, with some urgency, pedaling towards her house, or Monica's house. Carina pretends she doesn't even see her so as not to say "good afternoon", and Miriam doesn't care either. However, she turns back, suspicious."Again this girl on my street. Will she be taking pictures like the other time? It's getting weird..."MONICA'S HOUSE ENTRANCEFábia Peres is al

RESIDENTS' ASSOCIATION - EVENINGTito and Célio are now getting up to close the Association. Ed, however, arrives tired of running, and pants."Ed", Célio warns, "I know you intend to tell an important piece of information that you heard 'by chance'. But, do you need all this drama? Did you have to run as if you were running away from angry dogs?"Ed stops panting and goes to the water cooler, playing offended, "Ah, you guys break the mood for drama. The way I got in was more fun."Tito chuckles, "You young people take everything for fun. You will learn when you are our age."Ed drinks water with the face of someone who disagrees with Tito, but Célio gives him a warning look so he doesn't speak some rude words.Ed then finishes drinking, throws (missing) the plastic cup in the trash basket, and says, "I overheard a conversation by that sinister mobster encouraging Mr. Reis to sue Chief Roldão."Célio and Tito are surprised. They understood who the "mobster" was."It's not possible!" T

MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTMonica is perplexed when Tito tells her that Célio is afraid to tell her that she is wrong not to lose her.She gets up, excited, and tries to reason, "Seu Tito, there is something that doesn't fit this story. For example, you say that I don't make Célio feel comfortable saying that I am wrong because he would lose me. There is the point: he never had me to lose me. I'm not his. I'm Fábio Dance's girlfriend.""The stray kid...""Stop! Fábio does not work because he has no need; he is not to blame if he was born into a wealthy family.""One hour there is a financial setback and they are in ruin; how will the boy recover if he doesn't know how to work at all?""He's not a donkey, something he knows how to do! The point is that Célio is still harboring empty hopes. I have to get this out of him. Now, being his girlfriend or not, I never wanted Célio to abstain from giving his opinions."Tito gets up, not believing anything Monica said, "Monica, you may need t

MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - DAYMonica gets up from the couch. She is incredibly shocked to hear from her boyfriend's mouth that Ricardo may have something to do with her book. Revolt is what defines Monica."No, dear, it can't be! How? Why?"Fábio gets up and goes to her, holding her, hands on her shoulders to calm her down, "Take it easy, honey! I'm still going to get proof, so we don't go out accusing him irresponsibly."Monica again has the irritating conduct of judging and convicting people without evidence, "Get out, Fábio! If it was Ricardo, it was Ricardo and that's it! After all, I don't even know why I should be surprised. Everything bad that happens in the neighborhood is his fault!"Monica looks for her purse."What are you doing?" Fábio frowns."Picking up my purse, I'm now going to the police station to see if Chief Roldão is back to normal to arrest Ricardo!""Under what claim?"Monica stops, frozen, and looks at Fábio without realizing it, "For robbery, plagiarism!
