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
MALTHUS SNACK BAR - DAYCélio and Cássio enter "invited" by Aurélio and the three go to the counter. Again Aurélio starts to serve sugarcane juice without being asked. Cássio smiles and enjoys the free drink, but Célio doesn't even look at the glass."Your complaint is unfair, Seu Aurélio. I come here another time, usually in the afternoon. In the morning I buy bread and cookies at the Cascais bakery to take to the Residents' Association. You do not sell baked goods, and Seu Tito cannot get eating fried food every day."Aurélio then looks at Cássio to explain himself, but the boy only realizes what is thereafter ten seconds.However, the memory of Silvio going to the bakery makes Cássio frown and take the conversation to a different level.He taps the empty glass on the counter and counters, "I think there is someone else who needs to answer that question."Aurélio raises his eyebrows, "Are you crazy, Cassio? So early...""Am I? I have been going to the bakery to give moral support to
CARLOS'S LIVING ROOM - DAYCarlos is standing on his phone, dialing Penha's phone. On the other side, she is still drowsy and goes to the phone to answer it before the ring explodes in her head."Hello?""Miss Oliveira? Carlos Roldão is speaking here. They gave me a phone and I am looking for a kitchenette to rent to a friend. Emerson Ramos."It’s the name of Officer Ramos, from the District where Carlos came from."Ah, okay, because you already have housing, officer.""Do you already know me, miss?""Everyone knows the handsome policeman who served as a poster boy for the police station campaign. I already paid the first monthly fee of the booklet."Carlos smiles. Handsome cop? He can take advantage of that, "Can we make an appointment for later?""At ten in the morning, I'm waiting at the stationery.""Done, see you later."Carlos hangs up. It was too easy!PENHA'S HOUSEPenha hangs up with a sly smile. The policeman always left her on shaky legs. Carlos was more handsome than he al
STATIONERY BUILDING - DAYOn the stairs, Wellington is coming down, when he hears the footsteps of people going up and Penha's unmistakable voice."The only thing that your friend may not like is the big window that was put on, especially on the first floor. If you don't put a curtain on, those who pass the street have a good view from inside the kitchenette."And Carlos's manly voice, "Oh, my friend is one of those who is ‘at ease’ when there’s no one around. I will warn him."And when Wellington makes the turn, he meets the two. Carlos doesn't know Wellington very well, but Penha crosses her eyes with the boy and feels uncomfortable, she lowers her head. Her silence makes Carlos think that she was embarrassed because of his friend."Ah, sorry, did I embarrass you?""Ah, no, I just shut up. Anyway, the kitchenettes..."And the two keep going up, while Wellington keeps going down with a frown.RHODIA AVENUEWellington stops on the sidewalk to see if Luís is arriving with full physical
FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOM - DAYFábio takes a deep breath, takes courage, looks Monica in the eyes, and begins to speak with all sincerity, "Monica, this photo was taken yesterday."Monica is astonished and opens her mouth. So he got even with her! Her heart starts to beat faster. "Fábio... You got even with my archenemy...!"Fábio gets up from the armchair and kneels in front of Monica, his voice shakes due to his despair, "No, Monica, never think about it! Is that what Fábia Peres wants you to think, to separate us? Is it not already clear that she is participating in this trickery of photos and recordings?"Monica is now beginning to think so. But the photos themselves could not have been taken by her."The other photos came out perfect, professional stuff. These came out bad, out of focus... I even thought they were old.""We never take pictures of our intimacy."Monica feels discomfort. She, who remains chaste until the wedding, has to hear her boyfriend indirectly admit that he had re
MALTHUS SNACK BAR - DAYAurélio hastily clears one of the tables and prepares it for José and Ed to sit at ease."It's an honor to see father and son together in my snack bar. Listen to the old man's advice, son, because you don't give a damn about mine."José laughs, but Ed snorts."It's just that you're not my father. You are here to serve us two pastries."Aurélio remains standing where he is, waiting for more details.José says, "Son, you have to detail the taste of the pastry.""He already knows, father." Ed makes drama to Aurélio, "Don't tell me you're going to do this slight, Seu Aurélio! Two pastries of the Gods for yesterday."Aurélio remains still, a slight smile of defiance. Edward WON’T eat plain pastries!José, not understanding the embarrassing climate, tries to say, "Bring two pastries that he mentioned, Aurélio; and two of ground beef for me. Two cans of soda."Aurélio decides to leave, plotting something in mind.Ed is always doing drama and showing, "Phew! Waiters ar
BAKERY CASCAIS - AFTERNOONAnnie enters the bakery after watching the episode of the soap opera, but she is appalled by the story she heard from Luís and Wellington.Jonas finds her and asks, "Was today's episode heavy, dear?"Annie gets closer to Jonas, she speaks with apprehension, "Just hug me, dear, please!""What is it, honey?" Jonas hugs her without understanding and starts to worry."Jonas, Wellington's story, which also involves Luís... It's really too monstrous! Ricardo Oliveira helped Luís to sell illegal copies of a cassette tape!"Jonas frowns. What the hell, and is Carina going to marry a guy like that? "Hardly anyone who doesn't have an honest occupation can earn honest money.""And now Carina is engaged to that rascal, and if we tell; and if Monica does, she won't believe it."Jonas takes advantage to distill his contempt for Monica, "Sure! Because of Monica, who upset Carina when we didn't have any evidence; now that we have, Carina will think that we are also prejudic
