COR-DE-ROSA STATIONERY - DAYRosa is interrogated by Monica if she had an accident, because of the bruise that can still be seen on her face."Did something happen, Rosa?"Rosa decides to answer in a serene, somewhat suspicious tone, "Yes, Monica. A silly accident right here at work.""Right here, at the stationery shop? What do you mean? Did any bookshelves fall on you?"Rosa smiles; that was basically it, "Kinda that..."Monica gets even closer, "It was ugly. Anyway, I came here to ask your forgiveness in advance."Rosa takes a step back and frowns. What does she mean? "Early apology? This is unusual.""It’s because I am a person who is aware of my crimes. Although for Fábio it’s not a crime but a matter of taking precautions."The mention of Fábio makes Rosa react tensely, "What did he say?""My second novel is practically done; but, due to the disastrous result of the first, I shouldn't lend anyone a copy. I'm sorry, Rosa."Upon learning that it was, Rosa undoes her scowl, relieve

ENTRANCE TO MIRIAM’S HOUSE - AFTERNOONMonica faces Miriam for having recordings of her conversation with Célio. But, Miriam just smirks, because she didn't record it.Monica gets furious, "Why are you smiling? Didn’t I catch you, creature? You were recording and taking pictures of my house, just when Célio came to visit me!"Miriam opens the door again, but still doesn't let Monica in, "Let's make something very clear, you careless one: I didn't record a conversation. I don't know what you're talking about."Monica gets angrier, "Don't play the innocent! Someone was spying on me. I even heard the sound of someone holding their breath one night, when even Annie was there!""I can swear to you that it wasn't me."Monica takes a deep breath and attacks again, "OK, maybe you didn't record it... But, the photos...""What pictures?"Monica widens her eyes, she is shocked. Will Miriam deny that too? "Oh, no! Are you going to deny that too? Who besides you would be able to take such good pic

ED'S HOUSE ENTRANCE - AFTERNOONWellington and Luís are clapping their hands with some despair, as they have been calling Ed for a while, but nothing about him showing up.Luís cries out, "I think he's already gone to tell Ricardo! Our goose is cooked, we are dead!"Wellington is increasingly irritated by the cowardice and fear of Luís. Where was that guy who managed to steal money from Ricardo Oliveira? Now his pants are shitty because of a brat.The situation only worsens with the fact that Ed lives near the river, and the river reminds Luís of the possibility that he might be murdered by Ricardo and be thrown lifeless in the Rhodia River, with his family without ever knowing where to find the corpse.Wanting to end the anguish, Wellington claps more firmly and vigorously, but there is silence on the other side. Ed's dad is working and his mom is probably out."Let's go, Lou. There's nobody at home."This phrase does not reassure Luís, "What do you mean, man? We need to talk to Ed t

FÁBIA PERES’S LIVING ROOM - EVENINGFábia Peres is interrogated by Fábio and Monica. She only regrets the opportunity for someone to enter Fábio's house and put the cassette on his radio while he is with her.However, Fábio and Monica just want her to answer about the recordings and the photos."Aren't you going to answer, Fábia?"Fábia Peres shakes her head, "What do you want me to say? I received this information and passed it on to you as if it were a charity."Fábio and Monica burst out laughing.Fábio scoffs, "Charity? Was it charity, fake tapes, and pictures taken out of context?""You never got to hear the tape and apparently you barely paid attention to the pictures. Oh, blindness...""You make such a point of emphasizing the content, it's because you heard... or paid for it..."Fábia Peres is gradually thinking of a way to get away, "Me? Pay for it? Nothing like that, Fábio... Someone stuck the contents in my door, left the tape recorder in my mailbox... I didn't order it! I

CASSIO'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTCássio opens the door for Célio. Because of the fateful question he is always asked, Cássio does not ask Célio how his first day of school was.Célio greets him, "Here I am, buddy. Boy, you could take the course with me. It's a new world that is emerging for me."Cassio laughs at his friend's enthusiasm, "Do you think the computer will replace the typewriter?""I think. My instructor said that when they start selling affordable computers to the working class, everyone will buy them. It's much more practical to type documents. Seu Tito, who already has experience with the typewriter, will love to learn."The two friends sit on the couch.Cassio begins, "So, are you ready for the big news that left me stupid today?"Célio leans forward slightly.Cassio continues, "I found out who Lou and Well are working for. Ricardo Oliveira."Célio shocks himself in the extreme and goes to the opposite end of the sofa, almost falling off him, wide-eyed and with a bizarre g
