Sandra is going home, and this time Cássio accompanies her.
"Honey, I will be forever grateful that you are accompanying me. But, I can't help thinking about the time for you to go to yours."
Cassio is with hilarious confidence, "Don't worry about me being a male, woman! My role is to protect you, this way the father-in-law expects."
"Don't let my dad hear you."
"While they don't improve our police station, Roldão alone cannot be at the same time everywhere. And I protect you because I love you."
Cássio and Sandra are so moved by the conversation that they don't notice that they are approaching the same group from yesterday. And the same young man in suspicious clothes is approaching them.
Sandra is the first to notice, "There, Cassio, it's they again!"
Cassio acts as a protective comic, "Don't worry, dear! Stay behind me."
They try to go unnoticed, but the young man gets even closer. Cássio steps forward and "faces" him.
"High there, you freak! What do you want, huh?"
"Calm down, Cássio, don't you see who I am?"
Cássio and Sandra are surprised, there's recognition.
CASSIO’S LIVING ROOM
Moments later, Cássio is sat on the couch with Célio and Luis Diniz, 19, blond and always with the attitude of being two steps behind humanity. The three of them are with beer cans in hand, they are already old.
"Really, did you guys think I was a criminal, a gang?"
Célio scoffs, "You've been scaring Rosa, Sandra, and a bunch of helpless girls."
"But, is it my fault? Me and my neighbors just stood there on the sidewalk talking about everything! Do we look like criminals?"
Luis is wearing black clothes, plus a coat and cap that make it difficult to say otherwise.
Cassio opines, "You with those clothes in the dark, the streetlights still that old style..."
"Incandescent", says Célio.
"It's no decent lighting. So, tell us, what are you doing with your life?"
Luis answers them, "I think I'm in the same situation as you: my father said it was time to leave the nest and here I am."
"Célio and I are working at the Residents' Association. I want to pay the bills and he wants to be the next mayor."
Célio scolds him, "It's not like that, hello, big tongue. Let's take it easy, first I'm learning, listening, and watching how a leader acts."
Luis laughs, "Learning from Tito? Man, if you want to know about great leaders, study Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan."
Cassio asks, "The actor?"
Célio and Luis burst out laughing.
RICARDO’S LIVING ROOM
Ricardo is in a tank top and boxers, answering the phone, sleepy and stressed.
"Anestor, did you wake me up for this? I told you to be careful!" Pause, "They caught you, and this is it. You can get rid of the maximum penalty." Pause, "Of course, I know what's in the code criminal!" Pause, "Okay, okay, let me fix this! Stay calm and go back to sleep. I'll tell you more tomorrow. Good night!"
Ricardo hits the mouthpiece hard. He walks in circles, snorting, and thinking of a way out without compromising so much.
"If people were smarter... But, better this way, because I take advantage... With Anestor it didn't work, but I'll give some way."
FÁBIO’S LIVING ROOM
Fábia Peres and Fábio are together on the sofa, watching a romantic movie. Fábio's interest is only in Fábia: he kisses, caresses, and smells her neck... when he wants to move forward, Fábia comically distances herself from him and leans towards the television, supporter.
"No, you dumbass, he didn't betray you! It was the fault of that odious woman who claims to be your friend! Do you trust women more than men? Stay with him, he loves you!"
"Have you ever stopped to think that the actress isn't listening to you?"
Fábia never stopped to think, but she doesn't want to give in, "Oh, Fabinho, we are just cheering. After all, the actor is a bloody gorgeous guy and that's why she has to stay with him."
Fábio reacts ironically, "I thought the most important thing was true and faithful love."
The donkey girlfriend does not know the irony and thinks that Fábio is interested, "Oh, dear, I'm glad you liked the movie! Tomorrow we'll watch another one, I'll choose at the video store."
Fábio straightens up on the sofa, wide-eyed, "No!" He fixes, "Ehr... It's just that tomorrow is Friday and I was thinking we could go out, right?"
Fábia definitely doesn't capture his change in tone and behavior, "Ah, yes, let's go out and enjoy it. As long as your parents keep the credit card... I don't want to do my nails and then have to wash dishes because the card wasn’t accepted."
Fábio relieves himself and leans back against the sofa. Fábia leans back against him and eagerly watches the movie. But Fábio is already falling asleep.

POLICE STATIONCarlos is at his desk, struggling with the monitor to keep it on. He doesn't realize that Ricardo is approaching, the same petulant face he does. He sits down without being asked."They don't make computers anymore like they used to, right? This one seems to be from the time of the MS-DOS."Carlos tries to decipher what Ricardo hides, a mysterious little guy, "MS-DOS is still used for some things, Mr. Oliveira. I thought you knew.""Of course, I know. Just like Sandra Bullock’s movie."Carlos smiles, he knows which film is, "I just wonder if you would be Sandra or the villains who set up all the counterfeiting via the net to blame her.""No, I don't know if it would come to that.""What do you mean, you don't know? These things are not defined like that."Cleverly at the crucial moment, Ricardo diverts the subject and leaves Carlos in the air, "Chief, I came here to tell you that my neighbor Anestor has already contacted Escelsa to pay off what he stole today."Carlos st

It's now that you're going to tell me.""Célio, I think it won't be good for a lot of people to know about this.

MONICA’S LIVING ROOMMonica opens the door and enters, tired of the trip she made to San Marcos John. She comes in with envelopes of letters in hand; she had looked at her mailbox. She collapses on the sofa and takes off his shoes carelessly. She takes a deep breath."How hard it’s to help the world..."She starts analyzing the mail. She passes and leaves aside what seems to be some bills. The latter made her more interested, the quality of the envelope was superior, and it had a timbre. Monica smiles and deduces that it’s from the publishing house where she sent her book. She settles on the sofa, excited, opens the envelope, takes the letter, and reads it avidly."Dear Monica Silva: We wrote this letter to inform you that we are very grateful for having sent your manuscript to the publisher, but at the moment, we are not interested in the publication of your—"Monica reacts shocked and disappointed, with the feeling of defeat and uselessness.

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

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?

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!

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

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

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.

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

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
