MALTHUS SNACK BAR - DAYNow the first customers start to appear and Aurélio serves them breakfast. Among them is José, Ed's father. Aurélio goes to the table he chooses."The usual, José?"José turns to him jokingly, "Has anything changed in this menu? If not, I want the usual."Aurélio laughs at the camaraderie and leaves. He doesn't even need to take notes. José looks out the windowpane and watches the movement of Rhodia Avenue. And he watches Annie walking on the sidewalk across the way, heading for the bakery. He knows Annie; she already went to Ed's.Aurélio, as soon as he sees Annie, taps Silvio on the shoulder and points to the window. As soon as Silvio sees her, he hurriedly swallows the snack he was eating, leaves the money anyway, and goes out of his way, without waiting for change.José is surprised at the movement, especially since the boy who ran out approaches Annie at a great pace. Who is he?RHODIA AVENUESilvio runs after Annie."Annie, wait! Are you going to the bake

MALTHUS SNACK BAR - DAYSilvio reveals to Aurélio that he saw Jonas all known about alcoholic beverages, confirming their fear that Jonas might like to drink.Aurélio reacts with his mouth open, "What do you mean, man?""That boy who takes the same bus with me..."As soon as Silvio says that, through the windowpane Aurélio sees the bus pass by, the same one that Cássio and José boarded."Ah, man, you lost your driving.""I'll take the next one, even if it's Route B. As I said... Cássio, right? Jonas said that his girlfriend bought a bottle of cheap and counterfeit wine, and started to show off all his knowledge about wines and vintages. Cabernet, Merlot, Sherry, Port wine... It looked like I was facing an oenologist!"Aurélio clenches his hand with the flannel, crushing it with rage, "That is, he already knows about wines, he already drinks!""Yes, and he even invited Cássio to get drunk one of these days."Aurélio throws the flannel on the floor as if it were Jonas himself, "This is

FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOM - DAYFábio is disgusted, disappointed, and hurt after listening to a cassette tape revealing conversations between Monica and Célio."But, that idiot is deserving of another beating! But, now I can't just blame him anymore. And Monica? How could she do this to me? Asking me to arrange my family's lawyer as if it were her idea? Yeah, she knows that I would deny if I knew whose idea it was."Fábio had already pressed "stop", now he rewinds the tape, pressing the button very angrily, almost breaking it."Let's hear this drug right from the start! Without hiding anything from me!"Fábio presses "play", and the tape returns to show the conversation between Monica and Tito. Fábio goes to the armchair and sits down, attentive to the content.CARINA'S STUDIOMonica realizes that for now, she won’t be able to dissuade Carina to accept Ricardo's marriage proposal, after accusing him of being responsible for the recordings and tapes."I see that you are reconsidering now, Mo

FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOM - DAYFábio is furious with Monica, demanding an explanation about why she insists on meeting Célio, and the worst: having lied about it to him."I'm waiting for an answer, Monica! Where are those pictures from? Are you going to tell me that you hid the spicy ones, the ones that were taken from the bed?"Monica approaches Fábio and slaps him. He, hurt, puts his hand on his face, where the slap went."You know, more than anyone, that I would never skip the biblical script. And Célio never hinted at such immorality."Fábio gives a small sarcastic smile, "I don't know why, Monica... But, I don't believe it. I don't know what to believe in anymore. And you know what annoys me the most? I figured that Célio would keep tempting you, visiting you... But, you hid it. When I didn't want to hear Fábia Peres, it was a chance for you to be frank with me and tell the truth. But, you lied to me.""Fábio, I knew you were going to be upset and this material was produced to ruin ou

GRANJA SQUARE - AFTERNOONCélio is walking in the square, looking for Ed. When he sees him passing toward Malthus Snack Bar, he intercepts him."Hey, Ed, we need to talk."Ed looks at him with disdain, "Now do you remember that we are friends?""Nothing like that, comrade! We have always been friends. What's up, still upset about that conversation about Luís and Wellington?"Ed snorts, but decides to explain what's going on, "When were you going to tell me that Carina was dying in the hospital?"Célio sighs with relief. It was not about a controversial subject, "Ah, about that. I'm sorry, Ed, it all happened so fast. We didn't have time to tell you. We don't even know how things are going.""What do you mean?"They walk towards the snack bar, "Ricardo forbade us to visit Carina.""You must have made a mess inside the hospital. There you cannot fight; the place requires silence so as not to disturb the patients."Célio is uncomfortable with the speed with which Ed defended Ricardo, alb
