RESIDENTS' ASSOCIATION - AFTERNOON
Tito and Ricardo come to the Association. They find bags from the Cascais bakery brought by Célio at his table.
"It seems that Cé came from the bakery and left us a snack."
Ricardo is impatient with nicknames, "Is his name Cé or Célio?"
Tito opens one of the bags and responds by taking something, "Célio, but we affectionately call him Cé. At least, Miss Silva."
"We have to cut these childish nicknames or they will never grow."
Tito extends brioche to him, "Would you like?"
Ricardo takes one and eats in long bites, "I did not have lunch."
"And I had a hearty breakfast and I have stock in m
RESIDENTS' ASSOCIATION - AFTERNOONRicardo and Tito decide to be honest with Carina.Tito gestures to some chairs, "Young lady, you better sit down."Carina pulls out another chair, "As seen, the news is not good.""I tried everything and Ricardo here ended up serving as a witness. The Chief Roldão not only despised his documentation for having been typed but also tore it up."Carina immediately goes pale, her throat feels tight. Ricardo is on alert."Are you okay, Carina?"Stupid question, Carina is very upset, "I don't believe... There is no more justice in this country..."Tito encourages her, "Of course there is, my dear! It won’t end like this. M
MIRIAM'S BEDROOM - AFTERNOONMiriam has a swollen face from crying. She is taking care of the photos from Fábia Peres's film.Sandra enters, worried about her, "Girl, when you called me... What happened?"Miriam turns to her, her face as described, "Sandra, I want to thank you for all the help you gave me regarding my courtship with Carlos.""And why am I feeling like it's no use?"Miriam approaches her, "It's because it didn't work.""What happened? Don't tell me that he —"Miriam sits on the bed. Sandra does the same."It wasn't him, friend. It was me. I made the most difficult decision of my life.""You fought?"
RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATION - AFTERNOONTito and Ricardo plan to help Carina.Tito goes on talking, "Carlos Roldão's stay at the neighborhood police station is my responsibility. I didn't understand when he said otherwise."Ricardo sneers, "The guy thinks he is the king of the blackcocada. You may indeed lose the next election, but he is not a civil servant with a rare chance of being exonerated.""I think Carlos must have come here from Brasilia if he thinks he's irreplaceable.""If he keeps being up to like this... I'm no saint, mayor, but I already told you how I spent the night in detention. He was going to arrest Carina!""A catastrophic mistake," Tito roars."What's more, I went w
MIRIAM'S BEDROOM - AFTERNOONDesirous of confusion, Sandra is excited about Miriam taking pictures of the group for more intrigue."Congratulations, Miriam. In addition to unmasking this bunch of baddies, you will earn a little money."Miriam is anxious, "Oh, I understand that this Fábia has money to spare, I can even charge a little more than she will pay. She doesn't want just a little photo.""That's right, photograph an entire album, in various situations, so Fábio doesn't think it was just once. And if he wants to, I can even think of coming up with a situation for the two of them to meet.""Yes, you're still in the group!""I said, honey, it was good for me to be back."Miriam che
RESIDENTS' ASSOCIATION - AFTERNOONTito has already told Célio and Cássio what happened. They are both gaping.Célio finally opines, "I was aware of Ricardo's arrest, but this one about the officer? I never thought he was capable!"Cássio complains, "After all, what's with this guy? Now is Miriam going to be above the law? Everything she does will be ok?"Tito goes on to explain, "According to Ricardo, Roldão is only behaving this way because Carina doesn't pay attention to him."Cassio speaks pointedly, "Don't give a damn about him because he's with Miriam! Carina won't be 'the other one'. Doesn't this guy know our friend?""This will become a problem of greater proportions. If Roldão continues
CASSIO'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTCássio talks to Sandra about Tito's project, but he accidentally lets go of the reason: to denounce Carlos's madness.Sandra is alarmed, "Cássio, I can't run a project like that, how crazy! I'm going to be arrested just like in the Military Regime!""I think Seu Tito will give you support and protection. And the officer is being pursued due to that very reason; if he arrests you, you will be right."Sandra smiles but shakes her head, "It's not that simple. My parents will die of heartbreak if they know I went to jail. And I have no money to defend myself. I didn't vote for Mayor Tito to get in trouble!""Okay, but what about the project itself? Are you ready for it?"Sandra keeps smiling, she i
MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTJonas questions Monica and Annie about what they are talking about him. Moment of tension. Monica is behind Annie, holding her lightly; about to pull her back in case Jonas attempts any aggression."Jonas, take it easy." Annie asks, "We were not criticizing you."The answer did not calm Jonas. He looks at Monica angrily, "I'm going to ask the person who certainly started the intrigue: what does Annie need to pay attention to?"Annie gives Monica a pleading look, asking her to take it easy, for her to respond reasonably and peacefully. But, Monica has never been easygoing when it comes to defending her best friend."Pay attention to just that! Your overbearing behavior, Jonas! I... Sometimes I think you don't deserve to have Annie as your wife.
RUBENS'S APARTMENT - DAYSaturday. Rubens's apartment located in Parque Débora is typical of single-man territory: disorganized. The living room is filled with pieces of clothing scattered in various corners instead of being in the wardrobe. On the coffee table, cans of beer, Styrofoam packaging indicating it had lunchbox or Japanese food, a pizza box (probably with sour pizza slices), and used glasses. On the shelf, the television is on standby; books; and CDs are in disarray. And on the dresser, the phone is ringing, almost hidden among old newspapers and sports magazines.The ringing of the phone causes Rubens to emerge from the room wearing only his underwear, showing a fit body, visibly sleepy, scratching his eyes. He goes the way he is on the phone with the biggest laziness in the world. Answering the phone is like doing 200 push-ups."Hello"?"Rubens, tell me how Wellington behaved!" Ricardo practically begged. Rubens grimaces. For a moment, the manager also felt that Penha's t
