FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOM - DAYFábio is furious with Monica, demanding an explanation about why she insists on meeting Célio, and the worst: having lied about it to him."I'm waiting for an answer, Monica! Where are those pictures from? Are you going to tell me that you hid the spicy ones, the ones that were taken from the bed?"Monica approaches Fábio and slaps him. He, hurt, puts his hand on his face, where the slap went."You know, more than anyone, that I would never skip the biblical script. And Célio never hinted at such immorality."Fábio gives a small sarcastic smile, "I don't know why, Monica... But, I don't believe it. I don't know what to believe in anymore. And you know what annoys me the most? I figured that Célio would keep tempting you, visiting you... But, you hid it. When I didn't want to hear Fábia Peres, it was a chance for you to be frank with me and tell the truth. But, you lied to me.""Fábio, I knew you were going to be upset and this material was produced to ruin ou
MIRIAM'S HOUSE ENTRY - DAYFurious knocking on Miriam's door. She appears, in an apron, as she is making lunch."I'm making lunch— hey!"Miriam is surprised. In front of her is Ricardo, glaring at her. She doesn't understand what he does here."What are you doing here? How did you find my address?""Carina taught me.""Ah, I should have known..." Miriam rolls her eyes impatiently."We need to talk seriously, Miriam."Miriam reacts in disgust, "Neither you nor she has anything to talk to me about. I already got a lawyer. Now, only in court! Wasn't that what you wanted when I got sued?""What I have to discuss has nothing to do with the history of the broken paintings."Miriam understands that they have already discovered that it was she who took the photos of Monica and Célio, "No, no way! What we talk about now can be used against me in the trial. My lawyer advised me to avoid clashes with you both, so if you'll excuse me..."Again Miriam tries to close the door, but the other person
GRANJA SQUARE - AFTERNOONCélio is walking in the square, looking for Ed. When he sees him passing toward Malthus Snack Bar, he intercepts him."Hey, Ed, we need to talk."Ed looks at him with disdain, "Now do you remember that we are friends?""Nothing like that, comrade! We have always been friends. What's up, still upset about that conversation about Luís and Wellington?"Ed snorts, but decides to explain what's going on, "When were you going to tell me that Carina was dying in the hospital?"Célio sighs with relief. It was not about a controversial subject, "Ah, about that. I'm sorry, Ed, it all happened so fast. We didn't have time to tell you. We don't even know how things are going.""What do you mean?"They walk towards the snack bar, "Ricardo forbade us to visit Carina.""You must have made a mess inside the hospital. There you cannot fight; the place requires silence so as not to disturb the patients."Célio is uncomfortable with the speed with which Ed defended Ricardo, alb
FÁBIA PERES'S BEDROOM - AFTERNOONFábia Peres insinuates to Fábio, tied and in his underwear on her bed, that the two made love. But, Fábio refuses to believe it because he was falling drunk and does not remember anything."Are you going to use the old 'I drank too much and I don't remember anything' trick?""But, it's exactly what happened! I won't confirm anything. I wasn't in my mental faculties."Fábia Peres unties the other knot, freeing Fábio's left hand. He leans against the headboard, waving his arms to normalize blood circulation."Your clothes were left in the living room.""Stop making up details. There was nothing, Fábia Peres!"Fábia Peres laughs mercilessly at Fábio's despair, "This is what you want to repeat in your mind to convince yourself that it’s the truth when the fact shows otherwise. Now, dear, what's wrong with what happened? You broke up with Monica, you came to my house in seeking solace and... it happened... and it was so good..."Fábio gets up from the bed,
SANDRA'S HOUSE - AFTERNOONFábia Peres is going to tell Sandra and Miriam what she did to Fábio earlier."Fábio was so high that he ended up sleeping drunk in my living room. So I had an idea. I took him to my room, tied him to the headboard, took off his shirt and covered him from the waist down, and took a photo! A lot of photos. And one of us, I put on a nightgown."Miriam and Sandra burst out laughing, but not in mockery to Fábia Peres; and yes, because she had a brilliant idea. It was another one of her rare moments of lucidity."Girl!" Sandra exclaims, "What a sensational idea! We have already captured what you want: you will send the photo to Monica!"Fábia Peres smiles; the smile says it all. The three girls toast again and pour themselves more coffee.Meanwhile, Miriam says, "This morning Ricardo came to my door to ask if I took pictures of Carina. I think Monica told her what is going on."Fábia Peres is intrigued, "But, why would Ricardo bother?""Because the car that passe
RICARDO'S LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOONRicardo is shocked when Ed informs him that Luís has fled from Rhodia River. For what reason? "Did you ever speak to him, Edward?""No sir. I was just informed by Célio. And he asked me if I knew anything. Rest assured that our secret is guaranteed."Ricardo is more apprehensive. So Luís ran away because of him! And the fair? "Ed, I'm going to tell you one more secret: Luís works for me. Doesn't he have his tent at the fair, where he sells the tapes? I was the one who provided everything. If he had a problem, I wasn't communicated."Ed thinks for a few seconds, and then makes up his mind, "Do you have paper and a pen? Write down his father's address."Ricardo makes his classic little silly smile. Ed is being more helpful to him than Rubens! Ricardo promptly goes to the dresser and passes Ed a diary and pen. Ed writes it down."Thank you very much, Edward.""I just thought you might know. I'm becoming the pivot of something I don't even know what it is
FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTFábio is trying to watch television sitting on the couch, but his feet hitting the floor indicates that he is not paying much attention. He shows nervousness. Does Fábia Peres intend to tell Monica what happened, in her version, with the lies? The two are neighbors, what does it cost?However, when Monica appears at the open door, he has to force a smile and appear calm. Monica, even so, finds Fábio's behavior strange. He must be crying or normal."Monica! You can come in! Do you want anything?"Monica is well welcomed, maybe too much; she is led by him to the armchair and sits down, "Thank you, Fábio. I'm just wondering about your reception. I thought you were still angry with me."Fábio had already forgotten about the tape, so he decides to disguise it, "Well, it's just that I thought that because you came here, it's a sign that you chose me. So, we can forget about all that and continue dating. Right?"Monica thinks for a moment. She did not come to disc
CARINA'S STUDIO - NIGHTCarina is totally surprised when Carlos asks her to marry him, even after Ricardo requested it first. He is kneeling, pleading, waiting for an answer."So, Carina, what do you say?"Carina turns to the painting, embarrassed, "Roldão, how do you make such a request to me? It’s very painful for me to have to refuse because I did not want to hurt you."Carlos lowers his head. He expected this, but he wouldn't be at peace if he tried. Now it was about battling and insisting on victory, "Yes, I understand, he got first. I came anyway, Carina, because it’s undeniable that for a moment we felt something."Carina turns to him. There is a certain irritation in her eyes, "Yeah, we started to feel it, but as soon as Miriam jumped in front of me, you chose her without even thinking twice. Then you realized that whoever screams the loudest does not always have the greatest credibility."Carlos also needs to swallow the reprimands about having chosen Miriam, "Carina, I know
