SANDRA'S HOUSESandra opens the door to Miriam, this time there is no interruption of yoga or study. Sandra is wearing an apron, the vacuum cleaner is connected."Good morning, friend Sandra! Today the day is beautiful for a cleaning.""Yeah, but this vacuum cleaner is faulty. I spot on the dust and it doesn't suck.""And have you already emptied the filter inside it?"Embarrassing silence. Sandra is so haughty and nosy that she doesn't know how to handle appliances."I will see that later." She disguises herself, taking off her apron, "Let's sit back and listen to what you want."The two sit down. Miriam kept an eye on the dust accumulated on the carpet, where she sat yesterday to do "yoga"."We did yoga on that filthy rug — Well, I came here to tell you a news story and ask you a question.""I'm listening.""Yesterday Carlos told me that he managed to convince Monica and the owner of the park not to sue and forgive him. Although the owner of the park has already done so.""Yes. Good
WELLINGTON’S KITCHENETTE - AFTERNOONCélio and Cássio scold Wellington for having surprised Ed, making him more curious.Cassio begins, "And now, you need to talk to him and apologize."Wellington reacts in disgust, "He who has to apologize, jeez! What an annoying habit of listening to what is none of his business!"Célio takes a deep breath and tries to be didactic, "I understand, Well. But if you think about it in practical terms, Ed is a lonely, bored boy who kills time by doing these antics. Let's see it as such."Cássio fishes, "Unless there is something very terrible about your conversation with Luís."Again, Wellington refrains from telling his friends what the conversation was about, "Okay. I'm going to look for him and talk. But, don't think I'm going to accept this boldness. Someone needs to teach this kid good manners."Cássio and Célio exchange smiles.ENTRANCE TO MIRIAM'S HOUSEMonica is knocking outrageously on the door, but Miriam is not; she's at Sandra's house."Miria
CARINA'S STUDIO - DAYMonica heads for the studio, the door is open. Obviously, there was no one at home."Carina? Carina? Oh, my, I'm not finding anyone. Everyone's disappearing. Oh, my..."Monica notices some brushes lying on the floor. She should have taken this as a sign that something had happened, but Monica just bends over to pick them up and put them in the case. Then she leaves.STREETFábia Peres is giving back to Fábio the interest in the evidence she gave against Monica, even after what Monica did to keep him disinterested."Do you understand now, my love? You missed a great chance to understand what is happening!"Fábio turns to her, still not believing 100%, but interested, "I won't deny that there is evidence, but you could be up to it anyway. What did it contain?"Fábia Peres smiles maliciously, "If she didn't burn it all, ask her! I'll just tell you something: in one of the conversations I overheard, you forbade the presence of anyone alone in her house."Fábio alread
ENTRANCE TO RICARDO’S HOUSE - AFTERNOONCarlos, with a certain annoyance, is knocking on Ricardo's door. However, he leans over and puts his ear against the door. Had he heard a female voice?RICARDO’S LIVING ROOMRicardo is pulling Penha by the arm, making her get up from the couch.Penha complains, "Ouch!""Schii!" Ricardo's voice is low, in a whisper, "It could be someone who can't see you! To my room, now!"Penha replies in the same whisper, "But, what the hell, Cardo! How long is that?"Ricardo doesn't answer. He simply pushes Penha into his room, without delicacy. Then he goes to the door and opens it. And he is surprised to come face-to-face with the police."Officer Roldão? Did you come to punch me again? So you make it even easier for me to sue you."Carlos enters without waiting for a license, "Let's stop rubbish! Why don't you just punch me like any other normal man?""Normal, hanging around and throwing others in a trash can? I'm civilized!"Carlos gives him a dismissive s
RICARDO’S LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOONCarlos is shocked to hear from Penha's mouth that she is Ricardo's girlfriend. He even sits on the couch.Penha loves the policeman's reaction inside, as she knows it will confuse her. But on the outside, she looks normal."Are you feeling well?" She asks."How do you want me to feel, miss? I deeply love the girl who is hospitalized, I have to hear your disgusting boyfriend call her 'angel' and now you tell me you two are together? It doesn't make any sense to me."Penha sits on the couch next to him, "Very simple, sir officer. I'm his girlfriend, he's been cheating on me with this Carina and I refuse to break up. That's the way I managed to get even."Carlos looks at her, thinking it doesn't make much sense, "Other women would have already sent the guy to graze. You are brave.""Others would be jealous if they knew. The fact is that Cardo and I are in a business together, which is the rent of several kitchenettes here in the neighborhood. The buildin
MONICA’S LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOONMonica and Annie react in shock when they discover that Carina is hospitalized. Carlos takes charge of breaking the news."What do you mean? I left her as peaceful as a dove when I ran out!" Monica exclaimed desperately."What did you run for?" Carlos asks.Monica stops; she doesn't want to tell Carlos that she ran off to make a scene with Miriam because of the photos."I had an urgent matter to discuss. She was painting, what a situation!""How is she, officer?" Annie asks."She was having her heart rate monitored, everything was fine. She woke up..." Here Carlos skips the part where he accused her of sleeping with Ricardo, "And then she passed out again. The doctor here didn't feel safe to continue with her at the medical center and suggested transferring her.""And are you going to transfer her?""Yes, to Casa Branca Hospital."There was a black tone in Carlos's voice that did not go unnoticed by Annie and Monica.The last question: "You don't look
MIRIAM'S BEDROOM - EVENINGMiriam is hastily putting on makeup to go to the Casa Branca Hospital, to prevent a loving relationship between Carlos and Carina.Sandra is standing watching the situation, and decides to comment with her friend, "Do you know, Miriam? I think I should go too."Miriam turns to her, lipstick in hand, "Are you going to help me?""No, I'm going to be there. Fábia Peres warned you, and I doubt she'll talk to anyone else. If only you show up, they'll conclude that Fábia Peres warned you. If I show up, they'll think Fábia Peres called every one of the circle, and so she is free from suspicion.""I understand. If only I show up, they will realize that Fábia Peres is my friend. Very clever."Sandra leaves her empty glass on the dresser, "And there's more: better to find a way to contact at least my boyfriend. Let's do this: go ahead, try not to make any mistakes, and then I'll show up with Cássio. For God's sake, Miriam, don't ruin our cover. You don't have to prete
JONAS'S APARTMENT - NIGHTJonas is watching television. His phone rings. A little upset by sounding in the best part of the program, Jonas hopes his parents will answer. But, they don't leave the kitchen.Annoyed, Jonas gets up and goes to answer it. His irritation is gone when he hears Annie's sweet voice on the other side."Hello?""Jonas? Is everything okay?"Jonas quickly softens his voice, "Hi, Ann, my love... Sorry, I'm a little bit irritated. But what happened, are you all right?""Everything is fine with me. Carina is not feeling well. She was sick, passed out in her studio and so far nothing to wake up. We are at the Casa Branca Hospital, in case you want to know."Jonas looks at his wristwatch, "In a few minutes, I'll be there, my love!""No, Jonas, I just called to let you know—""Annie Lima, understand at once that boyfriends serve to support you in good times and bad. I'm going there."And Jonas hangs up firmly, decidedly, and runs to his room to change his clothes.WHITE
