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
WHITE HOUSE HOSPITAL - NIGHTCassio reacts badly when Monica tells him that Miriam is present at the hospital and has already gone up. What is Carina's archenemy doing here? Wanting to have an opportunity to exchange medicines to kill Carina?Sandra has to pretend that Miriam's presence dislikes her too, "I can't believe this bastard came before us!""Yes, Sandra." Monica says, also beginning to question herself, "Chief Roldão sent Fábia Peres to tell all our friends, but he told Miriam himself. Why would he do something like that?"Sandra realizes that it was the excuse invented by Miriam, "Was it an expert move for them to escape the lawsuit?"Everyone laughs. Monica's laugh is louder, she remembers an episode."It makes sense, Sandra! You still don't know, but Officer Roldão went to my house and knelt at my feet, begging for forgiveness and for me not to sue him for having wrongly arrested me."Everyone is surprised by the information.Annie comments, "He's already in trouble with
WHITE HOUSE HOSPITAL - NIGHTMiriam and Carlos wait in the corridor, while the others are in the room.Miriam asks, "Is Ricardo paying for all this? This Private Wing is looking very expensive to me who lives on the Rhodia River."Carlos smiles slightly. One more person who suspects, "I've been investigating this smart guy's whole life. Apparently, he has kitchenette rentals in the neighborhood. But... he told me earlier that he has health insurance here and their parents are VIP customers.""It's good that at least Carina was able to benefit from quality treatment."Carlos nods. Carina deserves the best medical treatment possible.CARINA’S ROOMRicardo approaches Sandra and Cássio, still irritated by Miriam's inexplicable presence. The nurse checks Carina's blood pressure."Is she thinking that Carina is going to forgive her if she wakes up and finds her close by? Yeah, I won't allow it!"Sandra has a jolt. There is an opportunity for her to help Miriam, "But, Ricardo, knowing the po
HOSPITAL FEMALE BATHROOM - NIGHTSandra and Miriam are amazed to hear a toilet flush. They think someone overheard their conversation. When they are mentally preparing excuses and lies to tell...One of the compartments opens and the two see that it’s another woman, completely unknown to them. It wasn't Annie or Monica.Sandra and Miriam are completely relieved and let out a long sigh. Miriam takes more paper towels to wipe the cold sweat that has appeared on her forehead. The lady fears the reaction of the two crazy women and washes her hand in another sink, far away from them."Come on, Miriam, before someone actually comes in here and hears us."The woman even listened to the whole conversation, but the subject was totally irrelevant to her. She shrugs and finishes washing her hands, trying to forget the talk.WHITE HOUSE HOSPITALIn the corridor, close to Carina's room, when everyone decided to go home after the information from Dr. Medeiros that Carina is going to stay asleep all
