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

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 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

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...

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

BAKERY CASCAIS - DAYFábio enters the bakery and is amazed by what he sees: Monica prostrated in the chair, finishing crying, with Annie sitting next to her, comforting her and assuring her that she was not a bad friend for Carina. Jonas continues to serve customers, sometimes taking a look at both.Fábio approaches the two girls with concern, “Monica! What happened?”He kneels to her. Monica smiles slightly, touched by his concern, “It’s okay, Fábio. I was worse. I just remembered Carina and the worst step she’s going to take in her life.”“You are thinking about the lunch she has with the damn parents.”Annie explains, “It’s just that Monica is feeling guilty for not preventing Carina from going to that lunch.”Fábio caresses Monica’s hair, “My love, you tried, but Carina needs to make her decision. After all, everyone has to carry their load.”“She is going to suffer, Fábio. At least I asked her to keep an eye on the family. She could take advantage of the fact that she is going to

PENHA’S HOUSE - DAYEverybody took the day to ask Ricardo trick questions. However, he felt it was not the time to answer or lie to the inquirers.He just weaves his classic silly little smile and avoids the subject, “Calm down, Penha, you don’t need to create conspiracy theories. The guy disappears from the bar for three days without giving any satisfaction. I thought he moved out of the neighborhood. I didn’t understand the disappearance.”Penha narrows her eyes, hardly believing what she heard. He kidnaps Wellington and then asks “why did he disappear?”“I hope he disappears. I always thought he was too good for your business. You were in danger of being reported by him.”Penha already knew the truth, since Wellington had told her. She just teased Ricardo, as if she had fun with it. She wanted to see his reaction.Ricardo was more nervous, tense, taking a deep breath, and “counting to three” so as not to reveal himself more than he did at the Malthus snack bar. Not with Penha.“Any

Nobody notices the window, where Ricardo is looking at the three with dismay.Ricardo goes back a few steps and enters the snack bar even with the “closed” sign on the door. The three men turn their attention to the door opening and closing and are surprised.“Ricardo?” the owner says, “We haven’t opened it yet, but we already have snacks in the showcase.”Ricardo looks with disgust at the snacks, “I don’t want to be a victim of the ‘Salmonella bar’ anymore. What are these two doing here?”Disgusted, Wellington drops the broom and approaches him, “You can ask us, directly. We are here!”Aurélio gestures for Wellington to calm down.Ricardo goes on talking, “And you, Wellington? Are you working here now? Aren’t you going back to the bar? Rubens is waiting for you until now!”Wellington looks at Aurélio in doubt, Aurélio responds affirmatively with a slight nod.“No, Ricardo, I won’

PENHA’S HOUSE - NIGHTPenha is disgusted by Ricardo’s unexpected visit just to ask if she is going to lunch tomorrow. Because she had no intention of going.Even with her clear body language: pouting, arms crossed and one foot hitting the ground, Ricardo does not undo the classic little silly smile.“Did you interrupt my movie... for this?”Ricardo sits in the armchair closest to the coffee table and puts his feet on top. Penha can see from the soles of one of his shoes that Ricardo stepped on ox feces.“Get those dirty feet off my coffee table!”“You haven’t confirmed me yet, sis. The dress that Carina chose is beautiful. Did you choose yours?”“Get outta my house now!”Ricardo threatens to rub his foot with his dirty shoe, showing that he knows the situation of his shoe.“Come on, sis, say yes! A family lunch, with dad and mom...”Penha is about to cry, she is very nervous. She just wants Ricardo to leave, “Please, Ricardo, stop this clowning! I’m not going to show up for lunch to h

PENHA HOUSE - NIGHTAfter Penha and Wellington cancel the lease agreement, the two say goodbye and Wellington leaves. Carlos leaves behind, without saying a single word, just smiled mysteriously at Penha, as if he knew she had just slept with Rubens.Then she takes a forgotten flannel in a corner and begins to try to clean the spilled coffee on the sofa, as it has practically dried, staining the fabric. Rubens, sensing the empty house, leaves the room furious and in long strides.Rubens takes Penha violently by the arm and makes her turn to him. Penha is startled by being taken by surprise and widens her eyes.“Hey, what are you doing?”“What did that kid come to do here?”Penha tries to get rid of Rubens, but he won’t let her go.“Let go of me! He just came to end the lease! He won’t be living in the kitchenette anymore!”“Did you send him to the bar today?”“I was so shocked by his decision that I didn’t even remember!”Rubens squeezes Penha’s arm tighter and she screams more, “You

WELLINGTON KITCHENETTE - DAYCarlos cornered Rosa asking her to explain to everyone how Penha is Ricardo’s sister. She gulps, nervous.Wellington looks at her more deeply than the others.Finally, she decided it was time to end the mysteries. She gets up to explain better, “Yes, people. It’s true. Ricardo is Penha’s younger brother. However, since they moved here and built the building, they have presented themselves as lovers.”“But, why is that disgusting lie?” Everybody notices Wellington’s afflicted and distressing tone.“Because Ricardo believes that by presenting himself as a boyfriend, he prevents other men from flirting and taking Penha to bed.”The girls are embarrassed.Annie blushes and asks, “Doesn’t Penha know how to simply say ‘no’ to the perverts?”“No. She deliberately accepts to sleep with anyone who invites her. She has a boyfriend who is in Europe doing a Master’s or Doctorate and doesn’t even dream that his darling is horning him.”Wellington is very ashamed of him

RHODIA AVENUE - AFTERNOONMore people gather to see Célio’s rescue, which hung in the window of Wellington’s kitchenette. Even Aurélio and his clients left the snack bar to see.“Guys, these windows... Who was the idiot who bought these big windows?”Monica, Sandra, and Annie exchange mocking gazes: they all imagined it was Ricardo’s idea with the masons.WELLINGTON’S KITCHENETTECarlos strides in and goes to the window.“Hang in there, boys!”With another strong man, it was easier to pull Célio back safely. When they finally succeed, he can hear the palms and cheers of those present from below. Célio runs to Wellington’s bathroom to throw up, he’s still scared.Wellington and Luís laugh out loud. Carlos then notices the boxes and suitcases, “Hey, what’s going on here?”Wellington stops laughing and announces to Carlos, “Officer, I’m moving out of here. I don’t think is right to live in the place where I have to pay rent for my kidnapper’s girlfriend.”Carlos smiles in understanding,

PENHA’S HOUSE - DAYPenha opens the door for Rubens, who hurries in and looks worried. She closes the door and signals him to sit down.“I was going to offer you coffee, but you need chamomile tea.”“This is no time for jokes, Penha! The situation is getting more complicated.”Penha purses her lips in indifference; everyday things are complicated. She sits in the other armchair, “Every day you live in confusion. You guys don’t seem to want to live in peace. And if I guess, it has to do with Monica and her friends.”Rubens doesn’t like the tone of Penha’s voice and replies harshly, “It has to do with that bastard Wellington who didn’t come to the bar neither Wednesday nor yesterday! What is he thinking?”Penha, on the outside, remains calm and indifferent; but inside, she is overflowing with relief. It was what she wanted most, for Wellington to get out of that snake’s nest, “You’ll see, he found a better job and couldn’t even tell you.”“We paid above the minimum!”Penha is irritated

MIRIAM’S ROOM - DAYMiriam is talking to Fábia Peres. The two got on well again after Sandra’s advice. Cleverly, Miriam leads the conversation to the topic of lawsuits.“Oh, Fábia, you don’t know the worst: I talked to Carlos and he said that he won’t insist on objecting to his fate at the trial. That he will acknowledge that he was wrong and accept the punishment.”Fábia Peres is gaping. Then the officer who always behaved like a warrior, dropping the towel so easily?“What does the officer have in mind, Miriam?”“He said he doesn’t mind losing the case, as long as he can get Ricardo behind bars. He’s gathering proofs and evidence.”“And is Carina going to marry this guy?”“Hopefully, she’ll fall flat on her face when she finds out the whole truth on her honeymoon, with the police invading their suite, ha, ha!”The two girls giggle maliciously.“Girl, on the subject of the trial, I’ve been thinking about something. If the officer is not offended, I can ask my father to pay the compen
