Nidia da Gléria. Ama Alexandro Gigio.

Both of them from Neiro.

15 Ostra St., Marisco, Neiro.

A 108-year-old...

...man?

Go, Hatchin!

Stop right there!

Jump, Hatchin!

"#18 The Fool's Ballistic Samba"

The crashing of a Sao Paraiso entrance gate

has had unexpected repercussions.

A long, long line of cars is completely backed up

as the gate is blocked off.

It is currently Milenario de Samba season

throughout the streets of Sao Paraiso.

Spectators and participants from all over

have been caught up in an unusual enthusiasm.

We have word that the culprits are both female,

one of them being a child--

I like that look on your face, big brother.

I'm so sorry.

How about it? Thrilling, right?

- --1 get it. This is what it is to be brothers. - --Shall we check the surveillance monitors?

Tell me, Ricardo,

would you like to go back? To your home?

Ma' am?

Can't sleep, huh?

The sound of spoiled kids goin' nuts.

Do you have anything to go on?

Nope, nothin' like that.

Okay, Hatchin, listen to me. He's got talent.

He oughtta be doin' well for himself. So we're sure to see him.

The reason he came here was for money. You see?

You and me are here now, after all.

He's probably somewhere makin' some fast cash.

It's the same as always.

It's the same old thing as always.

That man is acting strange.

Hey! Who are you?! You want somethin' with us?! Eh?!

No! I just wanted to make sure! The kid bears a resemblance

to Rock Morena!

This guy? You're sayin' she really looks like this guy?

Yeah, that's right.

Rock... Morena...

...Hey, Hatchin...

...He's here.

He was staying here.

I worked together with him for a little while.

We took the gates off of people's houses, and manhole covers,

swiped them, and turned them into cash.

We had to pinch what we could, or we couldn't survive. That's a fact.

He took off, together with the money I'd scraped together.

It was all mine. I'd kill to get it back.

We're lookin' for him too.

Did he happen to say anythin'?

You know, like how he had a woman he'd be willin' to die for,

or that he had a family, and he was gonna have a happy life?

Heh heh, he wasn't that kind of guy.

He talked about how he was going to be a bigshot in Monstro,

and how he once grew gigantic tomatoes.

Every time he opened his mouth, it was a big mix of fact and fiction.

And yet, he was a lousy fighter, and he couldn't even eat tomatoes!

Oh, and one other thing--

he said he was scouted out in some bar,

by the lead actor of a popular drama, to play a bad guy role.

I mean, what? Ridiculous, isn't it? I wasn't born yesterday.

Anyway I asked him, what did this guy look like?

So he says, he's this icky dude, with a pompous look on his face.

And it turns out he's not in any drama!

Hey, what's going on?!

Listen here. He was in Monstro, and he did grow giant tomatoes.

He wasn't lyin'.

Also, he is handsome. He probably did get scouted.

Then why didn't he take the gig?

Because of me.

How gullible can you be?

Listen, he's abandoned you two. He's loved you and left you.

Why, you!

Proceeding to the reported address.

We will arrive shortly.

They've cleared out. There are signs that they left in a hurry.

Moving to search the area.

What did he come here for?

He really could... just be runnin' away, huh?

I thought that was the case.

That's the kind of man Hiroshi is.

An overview of the whole production?

That sort of creative viewpoint is important.

If you don't have it, on the other hand,

you may not be able to elicit the greatest performance.

If all you think about is the role you're playing,

you can't hope to get that kind of quality.

The production owes so much to you, Feliciano.

Hmph, it is the fruit of everyone who takes part in it,

including those behind the scenes.

And more than anything, I would like to thank the viewers

- -who have stuck with us for this long. - -An icky dude, with a pompous look on his face...

...That's him.

And now, we're almost to the high point of the story.

- -As Feliciano's long-lost younger brother, Julio, - -Hiroshi did grow giant tomatoes, and he was in Monstro.

- -harbors a grudge against him, he falls into a trap. - -Hiroshi did grow giant tomatoes, and he was in Monstro.

- -harbors a grudge against him, he falls into a trap. - -He probably did get scouted, too.

Now, as we wrap things up, any final impressions?

Well, this production is a love story,

so even in the worst case, if I give it my all, everything will still turn out sweet.

Indeed. It sounds like we can look forward to a dramatic conclusion.

Thank you very much.

In mere moments, this building will be lit up,

and will apparently look like a UFO that has landed...

...like it when Michiko smiles.

I'm going to get Michiko smiling again, no matter what it takes!

With the city stirred up over Milenario de Samba as a backdrop,

Feliciano's climactic scene is about to be filmed.

What do we do about the big ending?

Get taken up into space, or land down on the ground?

I thought we were done discussing this.

We'll do it below, like in the script.

No we won't! The viewers are waiting for us to take the next step!

Love is the universe! The unbounded universe!

Women are black holes! If you get drawn in for a second,

"The End!" You can't get back out!

Having lost everything, Feliciano finally realizes that.

Are you with me, Director?!

Ugh...

So then, I stand right here...

I stand here, tears streaming down, arms held out wide!

I love you.

Well? Overflowing! Overflowing with emotion!

Now, listen, Feli--

Are you telling me no?! You think it's lame?!

Well it isn't! It's perfectly okay!

This is drivel.

How so?!

Why don't you brush up more?!

This is pissing me off!

Mr. Feliciano is running off the set!

Stop him!

Stop! Please, stop!

Uh-oh.

That can spell nothing but trouble for me.

Stop!

You're running a red light!

Go all out... I have to... go all out...

Feliciano!

We've got a report that the child from the pair that broke through the entrance gate yesterday

was clipped by a passenger car on Route 43.

All nearby units, proceed to the scene immediately.

Her...?

It's not him...

...I've been fooled!

Target spotted heading down Route 43.

Currently fleeing southeast through the Sao Juan district.

Stop! I'll let you go!

You're lying! I know you're lying!

Stop it, Jambo! Let me go!

What do you think you're doing, leaving her all alone?

You're just a kid, after all, huh?

Want to go back to that church, to your pretend family?

Tell me, what were you doing?

I was chasing after Feliciano.

Feliciano?

An actor with a goofy face.

He knows something about Hiroshi.

That's why I want to see him, and ask him to talk to Michiko,

about Hiroshi.

Hiroshi probably isn't giving us any thought.

That's the kind of guy he is. But I want Feliciano to tell Michiko,

even if it's not true, that he talked about her.

I think Michiko will go back to the way she was if he does.

He's up there.

Go on.

What's that?

This makes us even.

Can't you let it ring longer?!

Look at me! Does this face look familiar?!

I can't really see it, so...

You can't tell me you don't know it!

I'm sure you must remember this!

How much do you want?

What was that for?!

Call and read what it says on here!

What are you up to? Huh? Just who the hell are you?!

I'm Hiroshi's daughter!

And who is Hiroshi?!

Hiroshi Morenos, the man who steals manhole covers!

Rock Morena, with the giant tomatoes!

The man that you scouted!

J-Just a second, let's sort this out.

You're Hiroshi's daughter, right?

That's right.

The guy that swipes manhole covers is Hiroshi,

and the one with giant tomatoes is Rock.

So who are they to you?

My father!

Which one?!

Both of them!

They're one and the same person?

And you say I scouted this guy?

Thing is, I've never done that.

But you're the icky dude, with a pompous look on his face,

that appears on that drama.

Well, are you sure you don't mean

one of the knockoffs on another channel?

Knock... off...?

Look here. Copycats. Fakes.

- -Go ahead and change the channel. They're teeming with them. - -You want it, don't you?

- -Go ahead and change the channel. They're teeming with them. - -What happened tonight is a secret between just you and me.

- -It's counterfeit heaven. That's just how the business is. - -What happened tonight is a secret between just you and me.

Um, I...

Now, listen to me.

The drama I do is super-popular.

If you ask me why it's so popular, the answer is obvious.

It's interesting. That's the whole proposition.

But if that's all it took, it wouldn't be the only one out there.

You see, what's critical is acting which has its backing in truth.

It all depends on that.

That means that my method can raise a banal love story

into something first-rate.

And yet, those guys understand nothing!

What's going on?! Really, what's going on here?!

I'm sorry about this.

I'm sorry about this!

Go ahead and have a good cry.

Really, what am I going to do with you?

Um, is this Miss Michiko?

Who's this?

Nice to talk to you. My name is Feliciano.

I'm an actor. I have something you might like to hear about Hiroshi.

I know him, you see.

He was such a good-looking man, I had to say hello to him.

I asked him if he'd like to come and play my rival.

But, unfortunately, he turned me down.

When I pressed him, he said something or other

about having a woman who was dear to him.

I tried persuading him harder than I ever have in my life,

but nope. He wouldn't budge one inch.

Miss Michiko, he's out there waiting for you.

So give it your all, why don't you!

You do, and everything will be sweet! Okay?

Um, thank you very much.

It's okay, it's okay, don't worry about it. I'm rich, after all.

- -But. - -Hey!

Come on over. It's samba time.

From Goinia... Rock Morena...

Ricardo! This is where we say goodbye!

What? I can't hear you! Hey, listen to me! I'm grateful to you!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Tomorrow,

I think we're going to end up breaking through another gate.
