RICARDO'S LIVING ROOM - DAY
Carina gets up. She is shaking, with a purple mouth.
Ricardo is passionate, "Feeling sick just thinking about defending yourself?"
Carina retorts, "Feeling sick at the possibility of me being arrested!"
"Carina, you can't leave things as they are. I would gladly pay for that loss, but now I'm going to let you learn to defend yourself."
Carina shakes her head vehemently, feeling that she has been punched by the Truth, "No, I don't want to take any chances! Or he'll arrest me... Or he'll repeat that bullshit he wants to protect me from, calling me an angel like you do... Maybe he declares himself for good!"
Ricardo is getting angry, "If he de
FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOMFábio is watching television, all stretched out on the couch. Fábia Peres enters as if she were from the house. And she is already approaching the owner of the house, leaning over him."Hey, you crazy, what do you think—"Fábia Peres kisses him, but he moves away from her, wiping his mouth. He complains of disgust, "What do you think you are doing?"Fabia answers calmly, "Kissing my boyfriend, well!"Fábio is incredulous, "Have you gone completely crazy?""Yes, crazy in love," Fábia Peres smiles."What if Monica arrived at that moment?" Fábio gets
POLICE STATION - AFTERNOONCarlos is calmer, typing on the computer. Carina enters and approaches his desk. Carlos sees her and gets up."Carina! Honey, how are you? Sit down, please. How can I help you, my angel?"Carina sits down but she strafes at Carlos with her eyes, "You can start by stopping calling me an angel.""Only I have this right.""What article in the Penal Code is that written in?"Carlos replies gallantly, "In the Code of Love."Carina rolls her eyes, "Is Miriam also in compliance with this code?"
BUS STOPWellington is waiting for the bus to go to the bar. Luis is still afraid of the most leaked information."You almost miss it, Luis!""My bad, man, it was my bad." He whines."If Cássio knew that it’s Ricardo who is helping us, he will understand everything.""You mean everything we know, which is little. We need to discover much more."Wellington puts his hand on the chin, pondering, "Yes. Tomorrow I'm going to research Ricardo."Luis is wide-eyed, "Are you going to tell them
CASSIO'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTCássio is standing on the phone talking to Luis. Sandra is sitting on the couch waiting for him."Hello, Luis. Cássio in the area, confirming our trip. I need to be at the market at 8:00 am, so we have to leave an hour beforehand so you don't miss your fair."Luis on the other side replies, "At 7:10 am is route A.""Deal, then. Let's sleep that tomorrow we will have to struggle. I always wanted to say that...""Clown..." Luis laughs and hangs up. Cassio does the same. Then he turns and sits down next to Sandra.She praises him, "My heart is overflowing with happiness when I see you like that, responsible, running after our livelihood...""Remember, darling, it's only until Célio tidies up the field. I still haven't given up on my dream of being a Brazilian champion. Until the soccer comes, we'll go as the packer to pay the bills.""Who knows, love, you don't think better... You can play your ball on Sundays with your friends. You don't have to be a prof
MONICA'S LIVING ROOMMonica and Carina break the hug.Célio responds cautiously, "Carina, we don't understand your irritation."Monica makes Carina sits, she calms down."Here's the topic, folks. I went to the police station to file the complaint against Miriam myself, and I told the officer that I was considering filing a lawsuit against the criminal."Monica reacts excitedly, "Is that so, Carina? How cool. You can count on me.""Well, Chief Roldão dodged it, avoided it, addressed me with cheap pick-up lines, but he didn’t make the bulletin against his girlfriend."Monica and Célio react in revolt.Célio protests, "It can't, people!""Chief Roldão is letting us down." Monica regrets.Carina goes on, "Tell me about it. I tried to reason with him, but he got angry and ordered the guards to arrest me.""Again? This is nonsense!"Carina takes a deep breath. She can't say that Ricardo went with her and was previously waiting. So she goes on, changing that little detail, "Then, out of nowh
POLICE STATION — CELL - NIGHTRicardo threatens to demote Carlos from the police station if he continues his unfair detention. Carlos was leaving the cell, two steps back. He speaks confidently and provocatively, "You are not serious."Ricardo responds firmly, "I've never been so serious in my life.""It means that a criminal like you is going to convince the neighborhood to get me out of here, in fulfillment of my duty—"Ricardo cuts him off, "You're not doing your duty! You're acting out of jealousy, unjustifiable jealousy because Carina doesn't give a damn! Not while you're with Miriam acting promiscuous!""Look how you talk about my girlfriend!""What kind of dating is this? Why do you insist on having this crazy girl as a girlfriend if you love Carina? Otherwise, you wouldn't mind seeing her with me so much!""I'm protecting Carina from sexual predators like you!"Ricardo screams to the max, "I am not this!"Carlos punches Ricardo, who falls to the floor with everything.He conti
MONICA'S LIVING ROOMCélio gets up, trying to get around the situation."Carina, you have to understand that a man like Ricardo cannot get your attention. He is dangerous, manic, too mysterious, and doesn’t inspire confidence. You are very innocent and like to trust people, but some take advantage."Carina insists, "I'm sorry, guys, but I have the motto 'do good without looking at whom'. It’s very clear that the chief didn’t arrest Ricardo for the 'cat' in the electric power, it was out of jealousy. I was in doubt, now I am sure."Monica asks, "Sure what?""Roldão is in love with me. But, God knows why he chose to date Miriam. If he declared himself to me..."Célio scratches his head, "I was saying to Monica... The flesh spoke louder. All that conservative talk went down the drain as soon as Miriam and he almost mated at the police station—""How was it?!"Monica and Célio startle at Carina's outburst."C-calm down, my friend..." Monica tries to calm her.Carina becomes furious, "Were
MONICA'S LIVING ROOMCarina is disgusted to know that Carlos and Miriam are slowly crossing the red line, "This can only be a joke! Carlos Roldão, the serious, conservative, traditionalist man... What is accusing Ricardo of taking my innocence, of taking me to bed... is he doing everything he accuses with the indigestible Miriam?"Célio answers, "We don't know if they have already crossed the red light, but at the police station he was already shirtless."Carina reacts by having a mental snap, "Wait! She already said... She said it to me, on the day she destroyed my work! She said something about the officer not wearing underwear... Yes! She knows this detail because—"Monica covers her ears, "Oh, people, what a horror! Not even Fábio..."Célio decides to mitigate the scandal, "Carina, I think this thing about the underwear was just to provoke you. But, yes, she is slowly driving him away from the idea of chastity."Carina is hurt, "Is she driving him away...? Or, is he willingly gi
