Original subtitles

Look, Renan. This is the house.

When you said it was far, I didn't imagine it was this far.

Now explain to me.

No, wait, Renan.

First let's get there, properly.

Let's unpack and then I'll explain.

Okay? Can we do that?

What happened with Arthur?

Nothing happened with Arthur.

Now forget about Arthur, please!

Now, I need you to trust me.

How am I supposed to trust you?

Renan. You know that everything I did...

You know that everything I did was for your well-being, right?

Right now, we need to relax, calm down.

We need to clear our heads.

So, let's go, I'll show you the house, we'll rest. Okay?

What did you do?

I didn't do anything, Renan. I swear! I just talked to him.

And he handed me to you on a silver platter?

This is very strange.

How am I supposed to trust you?

It's the truth, Renan. Calm down.

How am I supposed to believe that?

I swear, calm down.

You were the last person to talk to him.

They're going to suspect you!

He was important.

This is going to be a mess.

Renan, look at me.

Look at me.

Breathe.

Let's go back.

Let's go back. I'll give a statement

and everything will be fine, right?

Because after all, I didn't do anything.

Fuck.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

Why is this happening?

Renan.

I need...

I need you to believe me.

Okay?

I risked everything for you.

I'd do it all over again if I had to.

It's going to be okay.

I promise you, okay?

I promise you it's going to be okay.

THE SENATOR

Renan Garcia Pinheiro, right?

That's me.

Detective Carlos.

Do you know why you're here?

I don't.

You must have heard that Senator Arthur Alencar was killed tonight.

I heard it on the radio.

What was your involvement with him?

I can't say for sure.

I...

Were you related?

No.

But he used to give you money.

I'll be very clear with you.

You have the option to cooperate with us

and walk out that door in a few hours.

Or you can make it difficult and stay here.

Until everything is clarified.

What's it going to be?

I'll cooperate.

Then start by telling me about your relationship with the senator.

We met at a party a few years ago.

What kind of party?

A private party.

Influential people, boys, drinks, drugs.

A common party in the capital.

You met each other at that party, and then?

We went out a few times and he started supporting me.

Were you lovers?

He was helping me.

In exchange for what?

Fun?

You don't work.

You don't study.

How do you sustain yourself here in Brasília?

It's a pretty expensive city to live in.

He paid for the apartment and all my personal expenses.

How often did you meet?

He visited me sometimes, when he had time.

I still have two meetings today, Helena.

I don't know what time I'll be home.

Take me to the apartment.

No, Helena. I don't know about your credit card.

Talk with Marcos about this tomorrow.

Helena.

Helena.

When I get back, we'll talk.

Okay?

Alright, my love.

I love you too.

RENAN: Are you coming to see me today?

ARTHUR: I'll be there in ten minutes.

ARTHUR: Put on that jockstrap I gave you

ARTHUR: And wait for me!

Arthur, I've been thinking.

I want to study.

I was looking at the courses at that college nearby here.

So, it'd be good for me.

I need to occupy myself, Arthur.

I've been spending too much time here alone.

You have less and less time for me.

If you prefer, I can turn on the gas, light a match.

What do you think?

Arthur!

I don't know, Renan. Whatever you prefer.

See.

I have to go.

Helena's on my back, and I have an early meeting tomorrow.

Sure. It's always like this. Right, Arthur?

Oh no, is this starting again?

You don't care about me, Arthur.

You don't ask how I am, how my day was.

You arrive here, we go to bed, you leave, and that's it.

Hey, Renanzinho.

Another time we'll talk about this, okay?

I had a terrible day.

I just wanted to come here and relax with you.

Wasn't it good? It was, right?

So, don't cause more trouble, okay?

Okay.

Here.

For you to buy a little something.

A little something.

So, you knew he was married.

I knew.

What did he say about his wife?

Nothing. He never even brought that up.

Did he promise you anything?

Like what?

I don't know.

Leaving his wife, marrying you, living happily ever after.

That's nonsense.

I always knew my place.

Arthur Alencar was a conservative politician.

There was never anything to tarnish

his reputation as a family man.

Are you really going to stick to that story

in front of public opinion?

POLITICAL OUTLOOK WITH ALINE MONTEIRO

Good evening! Today I have the leader of PFB.

The Brazilian Family Party, Senator Arthur Alencar.

Welcome, Senator.

Good evening, Aline. Good evening, to your audience.

Thank you for the invitation.

Senator, I couldn't start any other way.

Your party was opposed to the law that criminalizes homophobia in Brazil.

You followed your party

and voted against the approval of this law.

Do you believe this was the correct decision?

Aline, I did vote against that law.

But it was what my constituents expected of me.

I was the youngest senator elected in Brazil's history.

And I received their vote of confidence.

But senator, in over forty years of LGBTQIAP+ activism

no law has been passed

to ensure the rights of these people.

Achievements came through justice

like same-sex marriage

the use of chosen names, adoption.

Don't you think it's time for politicians

to look more seriously at these important issues?

Aline, these people aren't abandoned.

They are citizens like you and me.

And I believe creating a new criminal type

now in Brazil, won't bring any benefit.

We have very important issues in Congress

that need to be discussed

and everyone should have equal rights.

But do you believe we've already achieved

this equality here in Brazil?

We're moving towards that, Aline.

We need to talk more and value family, work.

If the family is well and structured, life is good.

It seems like it's become a crime to defend the family today.

And values are distorted in Brazil.

That's what we need to talk more about.

Senator, recently we had the case

of young Daniel, from Porto Alegre

who was persecuted and killed

simply for walking with his boyfriend

in a public place.

Don't you believe that if laws were stricter

we could prevent cases and tragedies like this?

Well, Aline. Killing someone in Brazil is already a crime.

Regardless of whether the person is gay or not gay.

The guilty ones need to be punished

And I don't see sense in this discussion.

It's quite upsetting to watch something like that.

He was elected by a conservative party

of course he would follow that line of thinking.

Line of thinking, Teodora? No.

That, to me, can be anything but thinking.

A creature like that doesn't think at all.

Victor, why are you so nervous?

Because he is terrible.

Him and everything he represents.

He keeps talking about family, good manners, morality,

as if gays don't have families.

I have a family, damn it.

He represents a big part of society, you know?

That is the problem.

And Renan? Where is he? Is he okay?

Why are we here?

I didn't do anything. He didn't either.

You're here to answer my questions.

I think it's better if you calm down.

Okay, I'll answer. I'm an open book.

You can ask whatever you want.

Great. So it will be better for everyone.

Then start by explaining your obsession with Senator Arthur Alencar.

Obsession?

Teodora.

Could you let me investigate him?

Our political section is full.

I told you that...

I only have promotion slots here for celebrities and entertainment.

God save me from writing about reality show participants.

I didn't spend four years in college for that.

Don't be prejudiced.

But seriously.

I know I can handle this.

If you give me a chance, an opportunity.

And...

I can't give you too many details now.

But...

I have an informant

who can provide me with important information, you know?

I see. Let's do this.

You get me that hot information.

But really hot. To suddenly interrupt TV programming.

If I get good information.

Will you give me the promotion?

My dear. If you get it.

I'll give you my chair.

On loan, of course.

I have information that you were determined

to ruin his life.

No. No. It's not like that. I...

I just wanted to expose that jerk.

Why?

It's obvious.

Because he's corrupt, hypocritical, homophobic.

Do I need more reason than that?

And can you prove these accusations?

In a way, yes, but...

It doesn't matter anymore, right? He's dead anyway.

Are you involved in this?

No, of course not.

Does your hatred for the senator have any relation to

Renan Garcia Pinheiro?

No. He has nothing to do with it.

I recently met Renan... I didn't know about their relationship.

So you assume that...

What happened between you was casual?

Are you sure he's really coming?

If he doesn't come, I'm gonna kill him, Victor.

I'm serious! I mean, Renan, he's such a sweetheart.

But he's kinda lonely, doesn't interact, you know?

So he doesn't need just a little push.

He needs to be run over, you know?

Goodness. Poor guy.

I'm serious!

But... do you think he'll like me?

You two will get along great. Relax.

It'll work out.

Oh, look over there.

Hey, Dani? Sorry for being late.

So glad you came. I'm so happy.

Thank you! Victor, this is Renan.

- Hi, I'm Victor. - Renan, Victor.

He's that friend I told you about

who's handsome, smart, well-travelled.

And he's single. I don't know why, but he is.

I'm single, but we keep trying, right?

We're out on the prowl, but so far, nothing. Unfortunately.

Oh, for heaven's sake.

Here's the deal. You're here.

Let's go inside.

Because otherwise, people will think I've already left.

And the night is just starting, okay?

Let's go in, friend.

We had an instant connection, you know?

I saw a sadness in his eyes

That he was trying hard to hide.

And did you ask him about his relationship with the senator?

No. As I already said. I didn't know anything at that moment.

The birthday girl, what's her name again?

Daniela.

Did she know?

No, I don't think so.

Daniela was out of town, she came back recently.

You and Renan, did you had sex that night?

What kind of question is that? Why is that relevant?

I'm the one who decides what's important here. Got it?

That night, he ended up drinking too much and...

So. Are you okay to go upstairs?

I'm great.

I've never been better in my whole life.

You drank too much. Don't you want me to help you upstairs?

I live there, look. In that one, with the open window.

Not the closed one, the prettier one.

Oh, really? Alright then.

Goodnight, Renan.

Yeah, I see how great you are.

You're gonna wake up tomorrow morning

inside the elevator, right, young man?

Hold on, let me help you.

Come here, let me help you.

Oh, Jesus, hold on.

That's it, hold on, come here.

Come here, that's it.

Are you okay?

Do you want me to get some water for you?

I'll get some water for you, hold on.

Renan?

Hydrate yourself so you're all fresh tomorrow, boy.

Are you always like this?

Like what?

Like this.

Attentive, dedicated.

You defended me from that guy at the party.

Brought me here.

You're taking care of me.

Maybe...

These are just a few of my...

Qualities and virtues...

Renan.

Renan, wait.

What?

Don't you want to?

Of course I do, but...

But?

You've been drinking.

I don't want you to do something you won't remember tomorrow.

Or something that...

You'll regret, right?

You're just something else, baby.

I'll get more water for you.

You and Victor Amorim.

What do you have to say about him?

He's a cool guy.

Just that?

I barely know him. I don't have much to say.

Did the senator know that you were meeting other men?

I wasn't meeting other men.

Was it an agreement between you?

No. It was like that, and that's it.

Do you know Renan, a guy who lives in this building?

Yes, I do. He lives in...

Wait. Weren't you the one here yesterday, bringing him in?

Yes, yes. That's right.

He ended up drinking too much, so I brought him here.

You know how it goes, right?

But I ended up with his phone by mistake. Can you believe it?

I see.

I wanted to go up to give him his phone back.

Man, I've been ordered not to let anyone up.

Really?

But if you want, you can leave it with me.

I'll give it to him. No problem at all.

Alright then.

Thank you very much. Mr...

Paulo.

Paulo.

Good morning to you.

Morning!

I'm going, hold on.

Do you know how many times I called you?

Where were you?

Are you going to tell me or not?

Calm down, Arthur. God.

I haven't even woken up properly.

I'll take a shower and then we can talk.

I don't have time for that.

I want to know where you were

and who's this guy that brought you here?

How do you know about that?

It doesn't matter.

Answer now!

It was my friend's birthday.

Dani.

I had a few drinks, and a friend of hers brought me here.

Had a few drinks and ended up in this sorry state.

Where's your phone, huh?

Why didn't you answer me?

Oh, you lost your phone?

You reckless idiot.

The damn phone full of my calls, damn it.

Who's this guy, huh?

I've already told you.

A friend of Dani's.

I don't know him.

He brought you here and what else?

Nothing else.

It was just an act of kindness.

And what did you give in return for this kindness?

You're offending me, Arthur.

Listen.

I hope you're telling me the truth.

And that nothing happened here, alright?

Because if I find out that you're lying to me...

You're hurting me, Arthur.

I can hurt you much more.

Now go take your shower, you smell like shit.

Teodora Garcia Barreto.

Your boss at BSB News, right?

Yes.

She used to send you to investigate the senator?

Actually, she didn't believe anything could harm him.

Sometimes I thought she was... afraid of the senator.

Of what he could do to the newspaper. I don't know.

Until one day...

Arthur, I won't drag this on.

I'll be very direct.

It's been a long time since we last spoke

and things are changing very fast.

What things, Teodora?

Don't act clueless.

I won't be able to help you for long.

I'm under a lot of pressure, you know?

I know what pressure is. It's what I feel

from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep.

I want to keep helping you.

But there are several new facts about you every day.

There will come a time when I won't be able to

cover them up anymore, unless...

Unless I give you more money, right Teodora?

You've always been very generous.

You and your late father-in-law.

Doctor Valdemar was one of those men

you don't find anymore these days.

It's just that... As you're saying

the times were different, right?

Now I can't do anything anymore.

The opposition is after me.

And your deal was with my father-in-law.

I don't have anything to help you now.

Arthur, you know that I was crucial in your election.

It was a favor I owed to Doctor Valdemar, but I believed in you.

Bullshit, Teodora. You're money-driven.

You go where you're paid more.

And to top it off, there's a newcomer trying to make a mark in the newsroom.

To stand out.

He says he's going to get a bombshell against you.

I don't know if I'll be able to hold him back.

But that's all I needed. Right, Teodora?

Trying to blackmail me with a recent graduate.

Come on, really? You were better at this.

Blackmail? What a strong word.

Let's say I'm warning you in the name of our friendship.

Friendship, Teodora?

I put my head on the line when I protect you. That has a price.

A price I won't pay anymore. Forget it, Teodora.

I don't need to tell you how much I know about you

and your father-in-law, do I?

And let me tell you that if you pull anything

against me, I'll end your mediocre career.

It costs me nothing.

A phone call and your newspaper turns to dust. You know it.

Alright then. Don't say you weren't warned.

Teodora?

Did something happen?

Yes. You know that story about ending Arthur Alencar?

Do it. Do whatever it takes.

You can count on me.

But what happened? Are there any new facts?

Nothing new. He's the same old shit.

I was thinking though, you know?

We really have to clean up this country.

Get off the fence.

So great. Well, actually.

I have some explosive news to tell you about this matter.

Yeah. So, I have a friend. From high school.

Yes.

Who works as an escort.

For women.

No. For men. He's a prostitute.

Hmm. Go on.

Anyway. And he...

He told me that he served Arthur before he became a senator.

Kid, what are you telling me?

But I don't have any evidence yet.

I just trust my friend a lot. I don't think he'd lie to me.

About something of this magnitude.

Okay. And where is this boy? Why have you never brought him here?

That's valuable information.

He doesn't want to expose himself.

You know, he's afraid of what might happen to him.

And I totally understand, of course, right?

But don't worry.

We're already figuring out a way to get that evidence, okay?

Hmm, I knew I wasn't wrong when I approved you in the interview.

You have a different star.

Get that evidence and your reward will be unimaginable.

Now go.

You can go.

And did you get that evidence?

Who's your friend that claimed to have encounters with the senator?

I'd rather not say. I promised him I wouldn't.

Look, Victor, honestly, the way things are going,

you're already in a lot of trouble.

And if I could give you advice, I'd say you should cooperate.

Or we can stay here until the court order arrives.

Assuming everything you're saying is true.

It is true.

Then why didn't you leave?

It's not that simple.

Aren't you ashamed of being supported

by a married man who has a family?

That was just a detail.

His marriage was just a detail to you?

His marriage had issues.

He had issues.

I was one of the least.

Hi.

You took a while.

I went for a longer run today.

I'll take a shower.

I'm all sweaty.

No.

Wait.

It's perfect.

Arthur. I ordered Japanese food, okay?

Oh, great! I love Japanese food.

I never order it at home, Helena doesn't like it.

I've asked you not to talk about her here.

Okay, sorry.

I got a little gift for you.

It's in the living room.

Wow!

I love it. Thank you.

You said you wanted to study, right?

I think it'll help you.

Renan.

I'm sorry for earlier today, okay?

I've been so stressed, so much on my mind.

I know I'm tough on you sometimes.

But it's to prepare you for this world.

Sometimes my life becomes a living hell.

So many people trying to take advantage.

I'm not made of steel.

And when I'm here with you, it's the best part of my day.

It could always be like this.

Yeah, but it's not that easy. You know.

It's the life I chose.

As long as I'm a public figure,

I have to fulfill certain roles.

That's what society demands.

Have you ever stopped to think how it would be if...

If?

If I wasn't married to Helena?

Sure, I have.

But it's part of the package.

It always has been.

Do you really think I would've gotten here by myself?

Getting to my position? No.

To get where I am, I had to make many concessions.

Her father reminded me of that every single day.

He catapulted you into politics.

But that doesn't make her the owner of your life.

Oh, Renan.

You're too young to understand, but trust me.

The same hand that lifts you up

can also bring you down.

It must be the food.

I'm going to change, okay?

Go ahead.

Good evening, everything alright? Here's your order.

- Here's your order. - Thank you.

Let me introduce myself, I'm Ricardo.

I'm the restaurant owner.

We're opening this week,

and I'm personally making all the deliveries to showcase our work.

That's great.

I wanted to ensure a great experience for all my customers.

In fact, I have a complimentary welcome dessert.

Wow. Thank you. You're very kind.

If you could give us a positive review on the app, it would help a lot.

Sure. It's so hard to have good service these days.

Here's my card.

And I'll also leave you my personal phone number

in case you want to place a special order.

I'll expedite it for you.

Thank you. Good night.

Good night, enjoy your dinner.

The food's here.

What was that nonsense?

What?

That guy hitting on you.

Are you crazy?

It seemed like you were enjoying it.

Look, Arthur, seriously?

I'm not going to argue with you about something so stupid.

Where's the card?

What card?

The damn card with his number.

Give it to me.

Unbelievable.

The delivery guy giving his personal number to the customer.

Did you hear the conversation?

He just opened the restaurant.

He's trying to be friendly, build loyalty.

I know well what he's trying to build loyalty to.

Freitas. Good evening. Arthur Alencar.

Can we talk?

Man, I ordered some food from an app today,

but it arrived in terrible condition.

Stop it, Arthur! What are you doing?

I'm not sure if it came spoiled. I'm feeling a bit unwell.

Could you send a team there to take a look?

Yes, I'll give you the address.

And check if they have a permit.

Because it seems like they recently opened.

And if they don't, just shut that crap down.

Great, Freitas. Thank you.

Knew I could count on you.

Take care, my friend.

You're sick.

No one's ever going to make a fool out of me.

Leave, Arthur. Please.

I'm leaving.

I've lost my appetite.

Based on what you're telling me, and I'll say it again

assuming all of this is true,

he lived in a fake marriage.

Many people do.

He's not the first one, nor will he be the last.

I know stories that if I told you, you'd blush.

Do you know if he met other guys?

Probably yes.

Fidelity was never one of his virtues.

Hi. I'm here.

Murilo, right? How are you?

So, where are we going?

Right here. I don't have time.

Didn't it bother you? I mean,

he could be interested in another guy

and you could lose your position?

He would have left me if he wanted to.

But he didn't.

What do you do?

Where's the rest?

What rest?

This wasn't what we agreed upon.

My rate is two hundred reais and here's only fifty.

For this little service you provided,

it's more than enough.

Now get out of my car.

I'm not leaving until you give me the rest.

Get out of my car, damn it!

Idiot.

Son of a bitch!

I hope you die!

I hope you die, you bastard!

At least tell me if Renan is okay.

Let me talk to him.

He's better off than you.

If I were you, I wouldn't worry about him so much.

What do you mean by that?

And after that party?

How did things end up between you?

I...

I was really interested in him.

So I asked him out.

How did you know I like amusement parks?

That's easy.

Who doesn't?

Is that where you take all your dates?

Only the...

Most important ones.

That day, on Dani's birthday.

You set me up, didn't you?

What, dude?

Dani has always been like that.

Always wanting to play cupid for everyone.

Well, in my defense,

She just told me

She wanted to introduce me to a friend she really loves.

Oh, really?

What else did she say about this friend?

Ah, she said he was a super smart guy, you know?

The most kind-hearted and best-charactered person she's ever known.

Oh, yeah?

Wow, all that?

Yes, sir.

His name is...

Renato, I think.

You dork.

But...

Seriously, Renan.

I really enjoyed getting to know you that day.

Ah, I don't know, it was...

Fast and...

You were so wasted.

But I felt something. An energy...

So good when we were talking.

Look, Victor.

You're an amazing guy.

The way you treat me, no one has ever treated me.

But...

But... You have someone.

You can tell me!

I can handle it!

It's not even that.

My life has been so tangled lately, you know?

You know when you feel like...

You need to close a chapter.

Take a step forward.

I know how it is.

I come from a small town.

Really small.

I'm here more for my family.

Well, my aunt...

At least that's what's left of my family.

What happened to your family?

Oh, sorry, Renan.

I don't want to be intrusive, really.

But you know how it is, right? I...

I make a living asking questions.

It's okay.

My parents died in an accident when I was young.

Damn!

I survived, but...

They didn't.

I... I'm so sorry!

I don't even know what to say.

It's okay.

I was very young.

I don't remember much about the accident.

As soon as I left the hospital, my aunt took over my upbringing.

And she still takes care of me to this day.

She's like a mother to you, right?

I owe her a huge debt of gratitude.

But sometimes...

You need to balance that scale,

don't you think?

Think more about yourself?

Yeah.

I feel that sometimes.

Sometimes we get so...

Absorbed in that...

In that idea, that desire...

To help others, that...

We forget about ourselves, right?

That... That's not healthy.

Not for you or for her.

For me, definitely, it's not.

It's something I can help with.

Actually, no.

I think this is a monster I need to face alone.

You know you can count on me, right?

Just for the record...

I haven't had any alcohol today.

At that moment, I...

I was already very involved.

But I also had

a mission in progress.

Boss, are you busy?

Come in, Victor.

So, you know that friend of mine I mentioned who

was meeting the senator?

It seems he managed to set up another meeting.

They're going to meet...

To...

It seems so.

But I'm worried for him.

I know he's only doing this for me.

But this is excellent.

It could make a lot of money.

Money?

Yes, scandal,

lots of views.

Your promotion! Money!

I understand.

Teodora, can I ask you something?

Sure.

Do you, by any chance, have a personal motivation in this case?

Personal? None.

Collective.

My motivation is always for the common good.

So, you're assuming you set up a situation

to catch the senator.

It wasn't hard at all.

He was so predictable.

I just didn't expect things would get so...

Complicated from there on.

What the hell is this?

Who are you?

This is Leandro.

He's hot, isn't he?

Do you like him?

Are you crazy? I don't like this and you damn well know it.

Renan.

I brought him here so we can have a little fun.

You're being too uptight.

Please, leave.

Look, look, Leandro.

I told you he was hot,

But as much as he's hot, he's annoying.

Always complaining, complaining.

Like my wife, damn it.

Looks like Helena, damn it.

I'm a screwed-up guy.

I got two Helenas.

You're a loser, Arthur.

You don't respect anyone.

Not even yourself.

There you go... Blah, blah, blah.

Man, I pay for everything for this kid.

I give everything.

He lives here... I don't pay?

I don't pay?

Man, I even support his family.

But he's never satisfied, right?

Never.

- Buddy! - What's up?

You're awesome! You're awesome, man!

But then, tell me! How did it go?

He picked me up in his car

and took me to an apartment.

Of course.

He would never go to a motel with a guy.

- Yeah. - He's a family man!

So we got there

I made a drink for him

I added a little something to help him relax

because I have my tricks.

But you're really not good, right, buddy?

- So? - Everything was going fine.

I started dancing for him.

We were really getting into it.

And out of nowhere, the kid arrives.

What kid?

Ah, the boy he maintains, right?

Exactly, that one.

Hold on.

So he took you to the apartment

that he pays for for the boy, right?

Yeah. We were there chillin'.

I didn't know the kid was going to be there.

But he showed up, started yelling at him,

told us to leave.

So I grabbed my stuff and left.

Otherwise, I'd be in trouble, right?

Did you manage to record it? For God's sake.

I recorded, buddy.

I just don't know if it turned out the way you wanted,

but I'll show you.

Play it now.

I'm dying to see this, man.

Oh.

Damn.

Buddy.

No one would believe.

Senator Arthur Alencar.

I don't know how you can do it, man.

It's my way.

Now's the time the kid arrives.

Now's the time when things will heat up, huh?

It was chaotic, so chaotic.

Hold on.

This voice... Rewind that part here.

Renan, did he say Renan?

Yes, yes. That's the kid's name, Renan.

No. No, no.

This can't be, man.

What's wrong? Do you know him?

Where is this apartment?

There, in Asa Sul.

No, it can't be.

Do you remember how to get there? Can you show me?

Sure, I can take you there. Do you want to go?

Okay. Thanks.

Here, buddy. This building.

Sixth floor. 605.

What's wrong? What's going on?

Why are you like this?

Nothing...

Could you send me that video, please?

Sure. I'll send it.

But you were so excited.

I just mentioned the kid's name, and you reacted like that.

Changed completely.

No, man. Relax.

It was nothing.

It's okay.

Are you going home now?

What do you want to do?

No. I'll go back there.

I have some contacts later on.

Can you drop me there?

Sure. No problem.

I couldn't...

I couldn't leave Renan in the hands of that despicable man.

Renan...

Renan is so sweet, so...

so sensitive.

He was manipulated by that damned man.

Senator! Senator! I have questions for you.

Leave it with my assistant.

Ah, so she'll be able to inform me about Renan, right?

Who are you?

Victor Amorim. BSB News Portal.

Never heard of it.

I doubt it.

What do you want?

I want to know how you have the courage

to do whatever you want with people's lives?

What are you talking about?

You don't respect your wife, you don't respect anyone.

It won't look good for your family man image,

the fact that you have a lover, right?

Listen, you little piece of shit.

I don't know who you are,

I don't know what you're talking about.

And I don't know where you crawled out from.

But I'll give you some advice.

It's better if you don't mess with me.

You need to calm down.

My dear, you're taking out your anger on the wrong person.

I have nothing to do with this.

Victor is an idealist, but he's a sweetheart.

I tried to make a deal with you that day, remember?

But you were inflexible. It was very unpleasant.

Oh, okay.

Fine, a kiss.

Alright, we'll talk later.

Fine.

Later.

So, did you get that explosive information?

What happened? What's wrong?

Any problem?

No, no, nothing.

Teodora.

Have you ever liked someone so much that it hurts?

I don't think so.

I'm very materialistic, I confess.

My mind is so rational

that it doesn't get involved in these love things.

I'm trying to be rational right now.

But if you're liking someone...

Let it happen.

Life is too short, you know, Victor?

It passes by faster than we think.

If love is the thing that moves you, invest in that.

Victor always wanted to help me.

But he ended up causing me a lot of problems.

Who have you been talking to?

Oh, Arthur. This conversation again?

Yes, again.

A journalist approached me today asking

how it would be if they knew I support a lover.

So, I ask you. How does he know that?

Journalist?

Yes. Victor Amorim.

Who the hell is this Victor Amorim?

I don't know, I don't know any journalist.

Must have been some dude, right?

Someone you sucked up to and ended up talking too much.

You know what, Arthur?

I do know him.

I know him very well.

And he's much better than you.

He doesn't need to hide behind a persona to do what he wants,

to be with who he likes.

He doesn't have a fake marriage.

And doesn't need to lie for status and money.

Hit me. Hit me more.

That won't erase the words I'm saying, Arthur.

And you know it's true.

I dedicated myself to you all this time.

I stopped studying, stopped working.

I've been stuck in this apartment like a dog.

But I'm tired, Arthur.

I've reached my limit.

Are you so turned around because of that jerk?

You'll regret talking to me like this.

- No, I won't. - Oh, yes, you will.

No, you know why?

Because I should've said this a long time ago.

But I was numb, Arthur.

Now I'm not anymore.

I give you everything.

Everything.

What more do you want?

Love, Arthur.

I lack love.

Oh, my God.

Your dirty money can't buy that.

You probably don't even know what that is, right?

Obviously.

Love.

I don't know why you all romanticize this so much.

You?

Yes! You.

What do you mean, Arthur?

In what way are you different from me?

Do you think that ring on your finger

makes you somehow different?

It doesn't.

It's pointless.

You can deceive whoever you want.

Except yourself.

That's why you're so unhappy.

Is that how it's going to be?

Yes.

That's how it can be, Arthur.

Your little toy broke.

It's ruined.

I know you'll buy another one to replace me, right?

That's what you do with people.

You keep them with money.

Now that I've realized this,

I woke up and I know I deserve more.

Give me my phone.

Listen...

I'm leaving now.

I need to think about what I'll do with you.

And you'll stay here quietly,

without making noise,

because you know you have a lot to lose, don't you?

How's your aunt?

Have you been talking to her?

Hmm?

Family is such a precious thing, right?

It would be horrible if something happened to her, wouldn't it?

Renan, I know you're there.

Open the door, please, let's talk.

You know everything, Victor.

Go away.

I don't want to cause you any problems.

Do you really think that's all you deserve from life, Renan?

I sold myself, Victor.

I got carried away by the luxurious life,

by the gifts.

It wasn't what I planned,

but it was my choice.

It's done.

We all make bad choices sometimes in life.

But that doesn't mean we have to live in error forever, you know?

He locked me in here.

Took my phone.

What?

Did you think he would accept being confronted without reacting?

My God, Renan.

I'm sorry, I...

I didn't think that confronting him like that would make him...

It doesn't matter.

I also spoke some truths to his face.

Now I'm going to face the consequences.

No, none of that.

I'll handle this.

Victor, no.

Victor!

In my own way, I knew how to control the senator.

I knew that confronting him wouldn't help at all.

But this time, everything was so confusing.

I ended up losing control.

What do you think the senator would do to you?

Probably nothing.

He was very angry.

He would probably punish me

and come back with a gift and an apology at night.

But now...

he's dead.

I didn't expect Victor to be capable of that.

Teodora.

I need to meet with Arthur today. It's urgent.

Hey, calm down.

What's going on?

That bastard.

He locked Renan at home.

I don't know what he might do to Renan when he returns.

Renan?

Locked up?

If you want me to help you,

you need to tell me what's happening.

Renan, it's the guy I've been seeing.

We're getting along great, I'm really into him, but...

But I found out that he's the guy Arthur is supporting.

My God.

So I got so...

So angry. That I went there.

I went there to tell Arthur the truth,

because he deserved to hear it. Okay?

And then he got angry at Renan.

And now he's locked him up at home.

I don't know what he might do when he returns.

Calm down.

I think I can arrange that meeting.

I don't have Arthur's contact, but I know someone who does.

Just give me five minutes, please.

Okay.

Please, Teodora.

Hi, it's me.

The opportunity has arisen.

It has to be today.

Teodora, I hope this matter is truly very important.

What are you doing here, huh?

Where's Teodora?

There's no Teodora, damn it!

I'm the one who needs to talk to you.

I have nothing to talk to you about.

Especially not in a place like this.

I know about you and Renan.

I know about your meetings with rent boys.

I have a video from last night!

Did you know?

I'm not going to harm you, no.

Because I'm not like you.

Destroying people's lives.

Right, Arthur Alencar?

Do you want money?

How much do you want?

Just say it.

I don't want your filthy money.

Alright, I get it.

You want Renan, right?

Look, it's very unlikely,

because that kid costs me a lot of money.

He's not cheap to maintain.

How despicable you are.

To be honest,

I even thought about returning him to the hole

where he came from.

But in bed, he's really good, you know?

It was a good cost-benefit.

I have a group here with several journalists

who would love to receive this video.

And in an hour, your career will be ruined.

But you can prevent that.

Okay, you want Renan?

Go ahead.

Conquer him.

I find it very unlikely.

But you can try.

I have nothing to do with this anymore.

I want the key and his phone.

I know you locked him in the house.

Wow, did I lock it?

What was I thinking?

No, no, sorry.

I can send it then?

Can I send it?

Look,

I have to admit something to you.

For a good-for-nothing worm,

you're surprisingly brave, you know?

I'll trust you.

You can take it.

Now I don't want that ungrateful one anymore.

Enjoy it.

But know that I won't accept returns.

Hey, if these images leak,

I won't be happy.

And when I'm not happy,

I can do terrible things.

Idiot.

Renan.

I did it, thank God.

How did you do that?

Look, I'll explain everything later.

But now, grab some things, and let's go, fast.

Go where?

I have a friend's house.

It's in the mountains.

It's very isolated, very remote.

I think you can stay there until Arthur calms down.

- Victor. - For God's sake.

Take these things and let's go.

Run.

Just tell me, Victor. What did you do?

Renan, I'll explain later, for God's sake.

Now get your things and let's go.

Don't I deserve to know?

Of course you deserve it, but there is a lot to explain.

- Trust me. - Just tell me.

Renan. Please.

Trust in me, believe me.

Let's go, I'll explain on the way.

Go!

Fast.

What did you do, man?

I didn't do anything, Renan.

Go. Go.

Yes, I confronted him.

He couldn't, he didn't have the right

to do what he was doing to Renan.

And then you killed him!

No, no, I didn't kill anyone.

I couldn't even hurt a fly.

He was killed right at the place

you described being with him.

Yes, but I didn't do it.

He had several enemies, everyone knows that.

You killed him, came back to get Renan,

and planned to run away from here.

No, no, that's not true, I swear.

I just wanted...

I just wanted to talk to Arthur, I swear!

I swear.

Good evening, Aline, good evening, everyone.

The body of a man was found

with several gunshot wounds,

here in this street, in a rural area

near Brasília.

Just over 10 kilometers from the city center.

The police confirmed it is

Senator Arthur Alencar from PFB.

We don't have information about the perpetrator

or the motive yet.

I'll continue to follow the police work

and soon I'll have more information.

Back to you in the studio, Aline.

Very well, mission accomplished.

The news has already...

already spread.

Burn this.

Here's what we agreed upon.

Now disappear.

Commissioner Freitas?

Teodora, darling.

I heard about what happened to Arthur Alencar.

How terrible, huh?

Yes.

But I think I can contribute some information.

Yes.

Mhmm.

An employee of mine,

he was obsessed with him.

He used to say he was going to finish Arthur off.

Uh-huh.

I think they both liked...

the same person.

Yeah.

So, it's delicate, isn't it?

Delicate, but...

Can we have coffee sometime?

Perfect.

Perfect.

That's great.

Goodbye, dear.

Take care.

Well, after clarifying the initial points,

I can proceed with the reading of the will?

Yes, please.

Let's do it.

I, Arthur Oliveira Brito Alencar,

Brazilian, married, Senator of the Republic,

declare that:

Free from any inducement or coercion,

I resolve to draft this particular testament,

in which I state my last will,

in the following form and manner.

First, not being able to dispose

of all my estate, as I have no legal heirs

at the time of my death,

I leave to Renan Garcia Pinheiro,

Brazilian, single, student,

the following assets.

The mentioned apartment where he resides,

valued at approximately one million and four hundred thousand reais,

a house in Praia do Forte, Bahia,

valued at approximately one million and three hundred thousand reais,

the copy of the deed is attached.

Wait.

All this for me?

Did he leave all this for me?

Yes, that's what I'm trying to tell you.

Can I continue?

Yes, of course, sorry.

Resuming.

Financial investments, valued at approximately eight million reais.

Secondly, I bequeath to Helena Maria Rocha Alencar,

Brazilian, married, visual artist,

all the remainder that comprises the disposable part

upon my death.

I declare there's no prior will

in any of its legal forms.

Having nothing more to record,

I conclude this present testament.

My God.

Now I need you to sign here

and a witness' signature.

Please.

My aunt. She will be my witness.

It's like I always said,

The senator was a very generous man.
