WELLINGTON'S KITCHENETTE - NIGHTWellington opens the door for Célio and Cássio to enter. Luis is already inside, sitting on the bed. There are a few plastic chairs and a few cans of beer in the sink."Look," Cassio says, "I think it gives space for a small dining table here."Wellington speaks going to the sink, "Be patient that I can, one day, add the money to buy. With these services without a formal contract, we can't count on buying things in installments. You have to pay everything in cash."Célio and Cássio accept the cans willingly."You are covered in reason." Célio says, "Cássio has his nose in the air because tomorrow is his first day at work."Wellington still didn't know, "Look how cool! Congratulations, Cássio, I still didn't know.""I knew it," Luis said, proud to be at least one step ahead, "So, shall we play a game?"Wellington reacts with his head, a slight grimace, "Wait a minute, Luis. You won't be able to play cards with five guys.""Five? Who's still missing?"Th

MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTAt the meeting of friends, Sandra asks Carina if she gave up on love in general or just with Carlos. Silence and expectation. Monica already knows that Carina is dating Ricardo, but Carina wants to keep it a secret. So...Carina answers, "Well, Sandra, I'm going to keep my hopes open for love. I don't want to be bitter for the rest of my life."No one noticed that Monica suddenly leaned against the sofa as if she were relieved."Oh, how nice to hear that," Sandra hadn't finished the attack, "So, I heard around... Okay, I confess, it was when I was still friends with Miriam, and she hinted that there was another boy in the area."Annie and Sandra still don't notice Monica's body language. Monica is sinking her back on the couch, her gaze strained, "drinking" juice from an empty glass.Carina, as always innocent, doesn’t understand Sandra's real intentions and goes on to answer what she wants to know, "Well, friend, you must be talking about Ricardo. He's a

WELLINGTON'S KITCHENETTE - DAYAfter thinking for a while, Wellington lets Penha in. She thanks him and he closes the door."Does your boyfriend know you're here?"Penha sighs in displeasure. Wellington pulls out a plastic chair for her to sit on. Penha sits down and notices the domino pieces scattered on the floor.Wellington sits on the bed, not to be too close to her, "Sorry, but I was still asleep and I didn't tidy anything.""I have the habit of waking people up. I get up as if I were in the fields."Wellington smiles slightly.Penha continues, "And to answer your question: no, he doesn't know, and if it depends on events, he won't be my boyfriend anymore."Wellington's smile is gone. He leans forward, "Are you really serious? I'm sorry, Dona Penha.""You can cut the 'Dona'. You are an educated boy, I congratulate you. You are a good boy for the little I know you, so I wanted to check if you are aware of what you are getting into."Wellington is more interested in the conversatio

CARINA’S STUDIO - DAY"And here is where it all happened, Mr. Lawyer," Carina says in her usual silky voice, "The wretch girl broke all those paintings that I intended to sell.""Violation of private property and material damage. Your victory will be easy, Miss Sousa. I will do anything to satisfy my client."Carina's lack of malice again, "You will satisfy me too, will you, Mr. Cardozo?"Cardozo's eyes widen. See, what a problem that Ricardo brings to him!POLICE STATIONMiriam hurries in and goes to meet Carlos. She stops suddenly when she realizes that the computer is new."Carlos! Have they started paying the police ticket? The useless Célio hasn't printed my booklet yet."Carlos looks from the monitor to Miriam. It looks like he hasn't seen her for five years. He smiles and gestures for her to approach. Miriam strides and sits down."How can I help you, Miriam?""I'm aware that you managed to adjust the screws in your mind. Congratulations, Chief."Carlos tries to maintain his jo

WELLINGTON'S KITCHENETTE - DAYWellington decides to tell Penha what he knows about Ricardo, even though he fears that this could harm his own. If she feels it can be dangerous, why take the risk of wanting him to tell her everything and break up?Penha realizes Wellington's fear and tries to calm him down, "Let's make one thing very clear, Wellington: you don't have to be afraid that Ricardo will kill me. That will never happen.""Usually in the movies, the thug's girlfriend who reveals the scheme to the authorities gone bad if he isn't arrested first.""He is not going to do that because Ricardo never wanted to draw undue attention to himself. Murder is something very serious, which requires a lot of investigation. And he cannot afford to want the police to investigate him."Wellington bounces on the mattress, "But, he helped the police station campaign, or at least tried it, according to what they told me!""Did your friend Carina help?"Wellington looks like someone who got the ri

POLICE STATIONCarlos is concerned that he could be sued for everything bad he did to Carina and Ricardo. But when he specifically remembers Ricardo, an idea comes to mind, "Is this lawsuit being voluntarily raised by Carina? Isn't anyone taking advantage of the girl's suffering?""Oh, oh, suffering..." Miriam mocks.Carlos gets upset, "Now, Miriam, don't tell me that you don't feel even an ounce of regret for having destroyed so many pictures of Carina! I should have given you a concealer.""But you didn't do it because you love me, or you loved me at the time."Miriam says these words with a slight smile, without indicating whether she was being sarcastic or genuine.Carlos frowns and continues, "I think that the indigestible Ricardo Oliveira is encouraging Carina to raise this case against you, but he will take advantage of it to hit me because I arrested him. Because if we know Carina well, she wouldn’t have either the courage or the conditions.""Really?""Pay attention to the la

COR-DE-ROSA STATIONERY - DAYFábio feels he heard badly or he really heard Rosa say that Penha is Ricardo's girlfriend when Monica complained to him that the same Ricardo is after Carina."Is this Ricardo the same one who was accused out there of installing a clandestine electrical power connection? One that Chief Roldão keeps picking on?""That one," Rosa splits, curious, "Why, do you know him?""No, but Monica told another story about him. She said that Ricardo is going after another friend of ours, Carina, with the firm purpose of dating. Now you tell me you gave a copy of Monica's book to his girlfriend called Penha! Am I getting confused or is this guy playing with two women?"Rosa is upset with Carina. Ricardo might have asked her to keep a secret, but apparently, Carina told Monica, and Monica told Fábio.So she makes a decision. She pulls a sheet of paper out of her notebook and writes Penha's phone. Then, hand the paper over to him."What number is this?""Her phone number. I

DIEGO'S OFFICE - AFTERNOONLawyer Diego Cardozo's office is located in one of these office buildings located Downtown. It's not very spacious, it's just his corner. The central office where the whole family operates is located in another building and occupies the entire floor. Here Diego has his privacy; he doesn't even need a secretary. He has his desk, his computer, drawers, cabinets, and files that he organizes and keeps, a window with blinds... something very intimate and personal.Now he is in his place and on the other side of the table is Ricardo, listening to his lawyer about the progress of the case."We need to define at once who the people we are going to sue in court. Miriam Abreu is clear that yes, but this Chief Roldão... Neglect to fulfill his duty just because the accused was his girlfriend. And when he discovered the connection between you and your girlfriend, it went from negligence to total refusal, culminating in an unjust and arbitrary prison. Not satisfied, he th

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

MALTHUS SNACK BAR - DAYAurélio is teaching Luís how to properly serve customers. Wellington is sweeping. 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
