At the police station, Sergeant Oliveira calls Antonio to discuss the antics of the tampered files.The hotelier sits face-to-face thinking he's innocent but prepared in case Oliveira objects."What do you want from me, Sergeant? I can see on the tapes that I'm innocent and my hotel needs to be exonerated from any defamation. Will you help me?"Sergeant Oliveira frowns and is serious, "In the first place, why has the media been so sure that what happened was suicide?"Antonio doesn't understand the police officer's anger, "Well, it was my secretary who gave an interview yesterday to calm things down. Did you want us to say it was a murder?""No, it wasn't a murder." Oliveira replies, "Still, I wish your secretary wouldn't talk like he's part of the corporation, because he isn't.""Sergeant, if they say a crime has taken place, my hotel will go bankrupt. Nobody wants to stay in a place where they don't have security.""And speaking of security, I received the audio and video files from
Antonio enters the Ferreira mansion trembling with fear because of the exchange of surveillance files. Eduardo approaches him wearing house clothes."Tony, what happened? Why did you come back from the police station with that defeatist look on your face?""Perhaps it's because we are truly defeated, my comrade!" Antonio exclaims, "Someone sent the real files. Not to mention the forensics team found your fingerprints on the railings. The recording of you entering the suite before Márcio Rios fell off the balcony corroborates that you—""NO, I didn't kill that imbecile!" Eduardo yells as a little boy scared of clowns, "I'm innocent, Tony, I swear!"Antonio hugs Eduardo as if he were the son he never had, "I know, Eddie, I believe in your innocence. This is all the fault of that bitch, Aline Mendonça! Sergeant Oliveira informed me that there is a recording of the security guards trying to drag the deceased out, but it was Aline who insisted that the guards let him in!"The hug is broken
Laura bursts out laughing when she hears the very correct employee Paula curse the coincidence of the corrupt policeman taking the same investigations involving the Ferreira family. Paula puts her hand in her mouth, but she has the dishwashing sponge and smears her mouth with it."Argh, cough, cough!" Paula fumbles all over, "Urgh, sorry ma'am. Have you seen it? I washed my mouth like they always say.""Don't worry, Paula. I understand the reason for your frustration. These coincidences that only happen in soap operas unnerve me. I'm not confident that there will be a fair trial, and Eduardo Casemiro will get away once again with my father's influence on the precinct.""What a horror, what a corrupt world we live in." Paula regrets."Don't worry, sooner or later, the harvest is inevitable. It was probably the sergeant who declared to the press that the death of Reggie's colleague was suicide."Suddenly, Laura's cell phone rings on the table. She goes to him and answers the call."Hell
Laura enters Sergeant Oliveira's office. He has a serious expression, reviewing the surveillance video files on his computer."Here I am, Sergeant.""Sit down, Mrs. Silva." Oliveira indicates the chair.Laura sits down, "I'm curious how I can help you.""Just tell me the truth." Oliveira stares at the interrogated woman, "What do you know about this case of Mr. Rios's tragic death?"Laura takes a deep breath, "Not much. I didn't know the dead man, but he was a co-worker of my husband, Reginaldo Silva.""Yes, the owner of Gomes Estates, Bruno Castelo, has already given me his statement.""I only recently learned through my husband that the socialite Aline Mendonça was having a relationship with him." Laura takes a sly look as she drops this piece of information in an attempt to ruin Aline's reputation.And Sergeant Oliveira worsens her image, "Actually, Mrs. Silva, I was informed that Miss Mendonça had only sexual contact with the deceased. They didn't even consider themselves friends,
In Reginaldo's loft where George lived, the remaining owner was preparing breakfast on the stove to serve to a shattered Aline who was sleeping peacefully after what happened yesterday.When the coffee was ready, he approached her and shook her slowly, as if waking up an angel, “Good morning, my love.”Aline wakes up finding the greeting strange, “My love? Are we like this already?”“Can you get up?”Pointless question. Aline felt run over by two tractors and five trucks. How could she get up?"Forget it, I'll bring you breakfast in bed." Reginaldo goes quickly to the kitchen table."Hmm, how fancy, I'll have breakfast in bed." Aline yawns as she tries to get up.The act of leaning back against the headboard was extremely difficult and torturous as Aline ground her teeth in excruciating pain.But when Reginaldo approached with the tray, Aline had a sweet smile.“Looks like I got carried away yesterday.” Reginaldo apologizes, “But I wanted to make sure you got the message.”“What messa
Natalia is astonished when she hears her father talking on the cell phone that Reginaldo may be the next to be 'suicided' by Antonio Ferreira's henchmen.“Dad, stop playing with that stuff!” She complains. Matias hugs her tightly from behind.“I would never joke about such matters, my daughter.” Bartolomeo justifies himself, “I just want my boy's safety.”"I'm sure he's safe." Natalia forces herself to think about it, "I won't allow myself to think about anything else.""May God hear you, my princess." Bartolomeo sighs, “Still, will you see him?”“We had a free schedule, but today we are going there.” Natalia looks back and Matias nods."Thank you, honey. See you later!" Bartolomeo hangs up.Natalia sends kisses through her cell phone and also hangs up. She gets up and goes to the wardrobe.“Where are we going, dear?” Matias remains under the blankets.“We are going to stay at the hotel, where else?” She chooses two hangers of evening gowns, “You can pick up your cell phone and make o
Reginaldo shows up at the Ferreira house when it's lunchtime. Laura is overjoyed with what she has done while Paula serves her."Bon appetit, madam." Paula sees Reginaldo enter the kitchen, "Oh, good morning, sir. You arrived just in time for lunch."Laura turns to him, "Honey, come celebrate!""What's going on here?" Reginaldo pulls out a chair, "Darling, why such exaggerated good humor?""Simple, honey." Laura smiles mischievously, "We're going to solve this whole killing spree at my hotel later today.""Are you going to take over the family business for good?" Reginaldo smiles like a child.But Laura gets chills just hearing this, "No, honey, stop clowning around! I mean the solution to your friend's death.""What did you do?" Reginaldo gestures for Paula to serve him."I was called to the police station by Sergeant Oliveira. He tried to call you." Laura takes the cutlery to eat."I saw the missed call and tried to return it, but it was his turn to not answer." Reginald shrugs."We
Reginaldo is in the library, as usual, watching the sales of properties in the Swan building. Paula enters with a tray of juice and toast."Sir, I brought you an afternoon snack.""Thank you very much, Paula. You have been an exemplary maid.""I always try to do my duty, sir." She sets the tray on the desk.Reginaldo continues typing with his eyes fixed on the monitor."Sir, can we talk?" Paula can't seem to hold back out of curiosity."What do you want to talk about, Paula?""Yesterday did you bring any whores to fornicate here in the library?"Reginaldo doesn't think twice: he gets up and slaps the indiscreet maid.Taken by surprise, Paula has to hold on to the bookcase to keep from falling."You can withdraw." Reginaldo grunts and sits back down.Paula lowers her head and swallows her tears. She hastily withdraws.After closing the door, Reginaldo punches the desk, knowing perfectly well why the maid asked such nonsense.******Antonio is calling Laura on his cell phone. Marianne e
