RICARDO'S LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOON
Phone rings. Ricardo hurries to answer. With his back to him, in the background, Penha appears.
"Hello?"
In Carina’s studio, Carina is standing with the telephone stretched out in the living room. She is looking at the destruction Miriam left behind. Her voice is very weak and sad.
"It's me, Ricardo."
"Carina? What tone of voice is that? Has something happened to you, my angel?"
Penha reacts with disgust, her boyfriend is calling another woman "angel"!
Carina replies, "Yes, it did. Can you come here? Are you busy?"
"I will never be bu
POLICE STATIONMonica comes in. The police station is on the move. Miriam was already gone. Carlos sat at the desk, hitting the monitor, trying to light it up. His shirt has the wrong buttons; there are lipstick stains on his face."Good afternoon, Chief.""Good afternoon, Monica. What do you want?"Monica notices the policeman's condition, "You know that Carina is a delicate and nervous girl, so she won't do what she should do. That's why I came here.""What about Carina?"Monica raises one eyebrow, "Did you record the occurrence of the aggression made by Miriam?"Carlos gulps and stares at the monitor.<
POLICE STATION - AFTERNOONMonica doesn't understand why Carlos is involving Ricardo in Miriam's madness. Tension is in the air."Do you mean that the officer is not going to take the necessary steps to do justice to Carina's suffering because he is thinking that the picture she painted would be for Ricardo? That's right?""Cut the entire first part on "doing justice"; the rest, yes."Monica is outraged, "But, this is absurd! You should not let personal issues interfere with your duty to Law and Justice!""Do you want to teach a priest to say Mass, miss?""Not teaching. Just regain common sense so you can do what you know." POLICE STATIONCarlos wants to disguise to Monica that he has no control over Miriam. He is outraged."What are you implying, Monica? That I can't control Miriam, that she doesn't obey me as a girlfriend?""Did you tell her to destroy Carina's studio?""Of course not!""Okay, so she went on her own. That is, she only does what she wants. And I'll tell you more, if you tell her to leave Carina alone, then she'll want to kill her."Carlos shakes his head, "I won't allow you to talk like that about my girlfriend! Maybe it’s OK thinking she is jealous, but to think that she has homicidal tendencies...""Today's event sRhodia River - In the stream of love Chapter 192 Carina begins to date (2)
MONICA’S HOUSE ENTRANCE - DAYWednesday. Célio is walking to Monica's house, wanting to talk. Almost at the same time, Fábio is in the same direction. The two meet and face each other, both feeling tension.Célio provokes, "The house you're looking to visit is the one next door.""The house next door is that of Fábia Peres.""And isn't it with her that you're cheating on Monica?"Fábio gets closer and angry, "‘Are you cheating’ as if it were a fait accompli? How do you throw that accusation at me like that, just like that, without proof?""I know by your character.""Y
RICARDO'S LIVING ROOMPenha wanna know if Ricardo is going to introduce her to Carina. Ricardo is visibly annoyed."Don’t interfere with this book. It's my business, Penha.""And you are my business. So if you're not going to tell me what the matter with the book is, when are you going to introduce me to your new friend?""I already said that you don't have to be jealous of Carina.""Does this mean that she won’t ruin everything?""What do you mean?"Penha emphasizes, "Does that mean she won't be your girlfriend?"Ricardo walks away and then looks at her, "I tol
POLICE STATION – DAYCélio and Fábio found out that Monica was detained at the police station. Strangely, the policeman Carlos Roldão transmitted the fact with disdain and irony. What happened?"What did Monica do?" Célio asks.Carlos answers emotionless, "Monica was detained, but she will be released today, for defying my authority. People need to learn that they cannot say everything they want without suffering consequences."Fábio is not accepting this, "Sorry, sheriff, but what did she do or say? As a boyfriend, I think I have a right to know."Célio tries to impose himself before Fábio, "And I as a friend. Was it too serious?"
POLICE STATIONMoments later, a lawyer in a suit is talking to Carlos, he looks cautious. Monica, already released, is hugged sideways by Fábio and Célio is next to him, not hiding his jealousy.Célio speaks to her, "Glad you got out, Monica. You know, we were very concerned about your sudden disappearance. I came to think that Ricardo had something to do."Monica is relieved, "Don't worry, Cé. Fabinho helped me a lot here."Fábio counters Célio, "And you didn't help by making fun of the idea ofsending the family lawyer. Look at the officer's grimace, passion fruit. He knows he dropped the ball.""I still respect R

Today we have to register in the system that your friend invented."Célio sits with the same face. He turns on the computer.Tito notices him and goes on, "Is there a problem, son?""I think you should know what our officer is messing up. In addition to hanging out with his girlfriend in the middle of the police station, now he arrests innocent people on the grounds of contempt."
