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
MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOONMonica doesn't want Annie to answer Jonas at her home.But, Annie wants to see how her boyfriend is doing and she lets go of Monica's hand, "Let go of me, creature! My boyfriend is calling!""And will you attend as an obedient bitch? Here's your chance to leave the violent in a vacuum.""Didn't you hear a word I said? Someone aroused Jonas's anger and I want to know why!"Jonas shouts, "Annie, please! I'm hearing your screams, is Monica hurting you?"Jonas's cry was one of sincere concern. But, Monica was even more irritated. How dare he think I would do something bad to my best friend?So she shouts back, "You attacked Annie, you rascal! Not me.""The police are here with me, Monica, I demand that my girlfriend leave!"Carina, wisdom in person, with her serene posture, stands between Monica and Annie."We will let him in."Without waiting for permission from the owner of the house, Carina goes to the door and opens it. Jonas enters and the policeman s
STREETS - AFTERNOONCarina is walking happily down the sidewalk to shop at the Rio Market, thinking about the happiness she will be when she smashes Miriam like an insect in the Courts. With the help of her beloved Ricardo and the efficient lawyer Cardozo, everything will be fine.She still not understands why Monica emphasized Cardozo as "beautiful and sensual" if that wasn't the case. Was Monica trying to arouse Carina's lustful feelings for the lawyer? Hot as chocolate he is, but Carina only had eyes of love for Ricardo Oliveira.A view of the street interrupted Carina's meditations. She sees her archenemy Miriam riding her bicycle, with some urgency, pedaling towards her house, or Monica's house. Carina pretends she doesn't even see her so as not to say "good afternoon", and Miriam doesn't care either. However, she turns back, suspicious."Again this girl on my street. Will she be taking pictures like the other time? It's getting weird..."MONICA'S HOUSE ENTRANCEFábia Peres is al
GRANJA SQUARE - AFTERNOONEd is walking with Claudio around the amusement park. It seems that Ed is walking to try to overcome the trauma he felt when he was on Saturday when Carlos fired the revolver in front of him. Cláudio is talking to him."So, son, are you getting calmer?""Seeing that you are more relaxed makes me more relaxed, Mr. Reis.""Good. To leave any bad atmosphere behind, we voluntarily forgive the chief. It must have been a misunderstanding. And the mayor assured us that the damage will be paid for by him."In this they see Ricardo approaching with the classic silly smile, "Mr. Reis? My name is Ricardo Oliveira. I need to have a few words with you. Hello, young man."Ed does not answer back. He just looks at Ricardo suspiciously."Let's go to my trailer then. Okay, son?"Ed shrugs, "I wanted to snack on the pastry of the Gods, but Aurélio's snack bar is closed, I don't know why. Excuse me."Ed walks away. The two men shake hands and Cláudio takes Ricardo to his traile
RESIDENTS' ASSOCIATION - EVENINGTito and Célio are now getting up to close the Association. Ed, however, arrives tired of running, and pants."Ed", Célio warns, "I know you intend to tell an important piece of information that you heard 'by chance'. But, do you need all this drama? Did you have to run as if you were running away from angry dogs?"Ed stops panting and goes to the water cooler, playing offended, "Ah, you guys break the mood for drama. The way I got in was more fun."Tito chuckles, "You young people take everything for fun. You will learn when you are our age."Ed drinks water with the face of someone who disagrees with Tito, but Célio gives him a warning look so he doesn't speak some rude words.Ed then finishes drinking, throws (missing) the plastic cup in the trash basket, and says, "I overheard a conversation by that sinister mobster encouraging Mr. Reis to sue Chief Roldão."Célio and Tito are surprised. They understood who the "mobster" was."It's not possible!" T
