Original subtitles

My mom's coming tomorrow. She's staying with us.

- Hi, son. - Is that a costume ?

- I had a sex change. - That's unacceptable.

You treat your mom like trash.

I'm here to apologize. Come back home.

Bruna, Mia asked me to stay with you.

Bruna dumped her boyfriend and wants you to call her.

I won't fall in love.

We had sex, you had your fun, but you left me out.

We need another guy.

I'm leaving the instant another man walks in.

We make him do it nonstop. He'll be exhausted.

I think we need another guy in our community.

Nobody will see my masterpiece. I was forced to delete it.

I'd shoot another film. But about what ?

A girl named Renata is here.

She's your fan and she needs to talk to you.

- I can't do this anymore. - I won't help you if you don't.

Calm down, Renata.

I have to get out of here. I need a loan to buy a ticket.

What's your account number ?

Karin was the victim of a well-planned set-up.

The DA accused her of sexual exploitation.

O NEGÓCIO

DEAL

- We finally found her. - She refused to talk to us.

- We had to insist. - It was tough but we did it.

- And ? - She won't help you.

- We offered to pay her. - But she's scared.

- Very scared. - She won't help us.

If she won't confess, we need to prove it was a setup.

My entire team's on it. But it's 4 to 8 years if we can't prove it.

- Plus the fine. - But there's another option.

- Yes, there's another option. - What option ?

One where you won't risk doing time.

- DA Sherman is so conceited. - Full of himself.

- He got what he wanted. - It's all over the media.

- I heard his interview on the radio. - And ?

We could cut a deal with him.

We'll say we know he set you up. The girl told you so.

- And we'll prove it sooner or later. - And when we do his career is over.

He'll be humiliated.

- And he's conceited. - Very.

His best shot is a deal.

And yours too. They could commute the sentence.

- No. - No... what ?

I don't make deals with guys like him.

What if we can't prove it was a setup ?

It's at least four years.

- Plus the fine. - A deal is our best option.

The Dalai Lama is the only nice guy out there.

So go to Tibet.

- India. He moved there. - I didn't know that.

Plus the Dalai Lama has no influence in our courts.

None whatsoever.

I'm not interested. I'm not making any deals.

Why won't she make a deal ?

- She doesn't want to. - Why on earth not ?

She knows what she's doing.

- She always does. Right, Mia ? - Right. I mean...

What ?

I think she knows she's taking a risk,

placing all her chips on the roulette table.

It could work. Or she could lose everything.

You're not being optimistic, are you ?

No, but we need to support her no matter what.

- I agree. - Me too.

We'll work on it and keep you guys updated.

- Thanks. - Thanks.

Thanks girls.

Work out a deal and I'll talk to her afterwards.

Okay.

I'm glad you like Luna.

She's an amazing girl. I'll kill you if you hurt her.

I never will.

You're your dad's kid and he did it to me.

Yes, but now you're my male role model.

How long are you staying ?

- About that... - What ?

- It wasn't just this transition. - No ?

I also transitioned from employed to unemployed, married to divorced,

from a Wichita Falls resident to being homeless.

That's awful.

You want to stay here ?

Not forever, just until I decide what to do.

May I ?

Luna's mom is staying with us too. There's room for two moms.

Thanks son.

- But there's one condition. - What's that ?

- Can I call you Mom ? - Sure.

I love you. I've always loved you.

ARIEL, WE NEED TO HAVE A PRIVATE CONVERSATION

I'LL BE AT THE CLUB LATER, ALRIGHT ?

I'm so screwed, faggot. So screwed.

What is it ?

Luna's mom. It's precisely what I feared.

She wants to have a private conversation.

So what ?

She'll make her move, say she's in love with me.

- And that's a bad thing ? - Of course it is.

Don't you feel anything for her ?

- That's not the point, faggot. - So what's the point ?

The point is... I'll hurt her no matter what I do.

Rejecting her will make her sad. And so will accepting her.

Because I'll still be me and I'll hurt her at some point.

How can you be so sure ?

I just know and even if I didn't I can't be with her

Luna would be mad at me.

She didn't want me to speak to her mom. Imagine if I screwed her.

There's nothing left to do but hurt the woman.

Later that same day, Zanini and Zaidan cut a deal with the DA.

We didn't expect to make such a great deal.

Thanks, Ariel. Will you talk to her tomorrow ?

Okay. Take care.

- Hello there my beauties. - Hi, Zanini.

- Hi. - Hi.

I have news for you guys.

Karin will only do jail time if she wants to.

She wanted to once.

That was preventive. She knew it's just five days.

This time it's different. Months or years in jail.

But thanks to Zaidan, she's walking. Zaidan's a genius.

Is he hot ?

No, not him. Don't even think about it.

I'll only accept another guy if he's a total stranger.

I thought a stranger was better too.

We're even thinking of going to a poly love event,

but they think it's better to find somebody we know.

- It's safer. - As long as I don't know him.

- Gunther replied. - Who's Gunther ?

An ex of mine I broke up with. He's into swinging and I'm not.

But he's cute and so sweet.

- What did he say ? - He's available for dinner.

Today ?

- Yes. - Great.

- I agree. - Today ? Like, now ?

Any problem ?

No problem. Let's eat with this Gunther guy.

You don't need to go, Zanini.

Sure I do. He needs my approval to move in with us.

Okay.

I was very concerned about Karin.

But that day I was convinced you can smile,

dance and undress erotically no matter how worried you are.

One of my johns booked me solid that week.

So I had to work.

- Sorry. Can we take a break ? - Sure.

- Is everything okay ? - I guess so.

Can I help ?

- Can we just talk ? - If you want to.

I booked you solid because I can't bear being home alone.

I'm still dealing with my recent divorce.

I understand. It's normal to feel that way.

But you'll get over it.

I don't want to get over it. I want my wife back.

But she won't answer my messages.

Why doesn't she reply ? You're a woman. Why doesn't she reply ?

Did you text her that you can't live without her ?

I did.

Did you beg her to forgive you, promise to change ?

- Dear God ! - Did I blow it ?

No, you're in deep crap but there's hope.

You think ?

Sure, you've got a chance if she has feelings for you.

So what now ? I can't say I'll kill myself.

- Don't even think about it. - Just an idea.

Here's what you do.

Text her a message, something not meant for her.

Something like "I had a great evening. A kiss".

- She'll say I'm dating someone. - Exactly.

- That I got over the divorce. - Exactly.

If you want a woman back, you need to act like you don't.

Fine. I'll give it a try.

- Damn ! - No worries. I'll fix that.

- No, that won't work. I can't focus. - Why not ?

I keep thinking I have no ideas for my next movie.

- You'll think of something. - What if I don't ?

I'll never have sex again.

- You're overreacting. - No I'm not, Raíssa.

What are you doing ?

I know it looks crazy but it's all I can do now.

What ?

You know the guy that wrote about a hunchback ?

- "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame". - Guess how he got inspired.

- How ? - He got butt naked in his room.

His valet only dressed him when he finished his story.

- And I'm your valet now ? - Yes, but with boobs.

I'm stuck here until I come up with an idea for my movie.

Ariel. Luna's mom's here.

So, this is it, right ?

I need to break the poor woman's heart.

- Wish me luck, faggot. - Good luck, Ariel.

- I have a confession to make. - Sure, Neide.

It's difficult and embarrassing.

Don't be embarrassed. I think I know what it is.

- You do ? - It's okay to be in love.

I'm in love ?

- No ? - No.

So what is it you want to confess to me ?

I gave a lot of thought to what you told me about living my life,

and I think it's time I met somebody.

Will you help me ? Can you introduce me to someone ?

A divorced client of yours, somebody nice ?

That's what I meant. You're in love with life.

Right. Well, I don't know.

Fine, you want to meet somebody. Let me think about it.

Don't worry, we'll find you somebody you deserve.

- Thanks Ariel. - No problem, Neide. No problem.

What a relief, faggot. She isn't interested in me.

Thanks, what a relief. I've never felt so relieved in my life.

That's great.

- César, I need your help. - Sure. How can I help you ?

Bruna came to see Mia. She's looking for me.

So ?

I don't want to see her. Could you tell her I left ?

Trying to win her heart, are you ?

No, Ariel, I don't want her to win my heart.

- I have to hide from her. - It's no use hiding.

There's only one way to avoid falling in love.

How ?

Screwing a bunch of women one after the other.

One before breakfast. Two before lunch.

A series of non-stop orgasms that keeps your brain from falling in love.

- Thanks, but I can handle it. - It's up to you.

I'm taking my own advice. And it's not that I need to.

It's just a precaution. Excuse me.

That evening, the poly love community had dinner with Sabrina's ex.

I meditated six months in an ashram in Sri Lanka.

I did two or three hours daily by the Kelani river.

That's awesome !

But meditating has a dark side nobody talks about.

What ?

You lose the ability to crack a joke properly.

What ?

Yes, to be funny you need to be a little unstable and cranky.

The minute you achieve inner peace, you lose your touch.

That's not true.

He seemed to be perfect, funny and spiritual.

He seemed like the ideal lover for their community.

Until he used the bathroom.

- Where's the bathroom ? - First door on the right.

Excuse me.

What do you guys think ? Isn't he awesome ?

- Awesome and sexy. - Awesome, sexy and smart.

Are you guys crazy ?

- Why ? - He's disgusting.

Shut up. You're just jealous.

- Jealous ? Didn't you notice ? - What ?

- The drool. - What drool ?

He drools so much he's like the Guaraní aquifer.

- You're overreacting. - Yes, that's such crap.

Take a good look at him. His mouth is like a swamp.

I thought herons would fly out of there.

You're crazy, we used to date and he never drooled.

- He sure drools now. - Shut up, Zanini.

Fine, but he has a puddle in his face you refuse to see.

I'll be quiet anyway.

Have you been to India ?

From that moment on nobody even heard what he said.

So with just one little comment

Zanini ruined any chance Gunther had to be happy.

- Dinner was great. - I'm glad to hear that.

- We need to do this some more. - We'll be in contact.

Sure. Bye.

The next day, Ariel went to convince Karin to take the deal.

Karin, I have two pieces of good news for you.

Which first ? The good news or the good news ?

The good news.

Your attorneys got you acquitted and you'll be released.

What do I need to do to be released ?

Great question. That's the other good news.

To be released you just need to admit you incited the girl.

That's all, just confess, sign the form, and you're going back home.

I'm not confessing anything.

Think about it, Karin. It's such a great deal.

I don't care, I'm not making any deals with that DA.

Don't be so hard-headed.

You know the story of the old Chinaman

who was so hard-headed monkeys cracked coconuts on it ?

Remember what happened to him ?

No. What happened to him ?

I don't know. I thought you'd know.

But I remember it was a life lesson that made you stop being hard-headed.

So stop being hard-headed. Sign the agreement.

No.

- I need to tell you something. - What ?

They already made the deal. I told them to.

- They'll just have to undo what's done. - It's a done deal.

I don't care. I'm not making any kind of deal.

I was anxious to see you. Your plan worked.

- Really ? - Yes, my wife replied.

- What did she say ? - I memorized the message.

"I think you sent this to the wrong person, lol, lol".

Two lols. Is that good or bad ?

I think it's good. What else did she say ?

She asked how I was.

- Great. - You think so ?

Sure.

- What do I tell her ? - Nothing.

- Nothing ? - Nothing. Not a word.

Nothing comes to nothing.

No, saying nothing makes everything happen.

I don't understand.

If she stopped thinking about you, she is now.

She wants to know who you're dating.

Not saying anything will make her more curious,

wondering why you're not responding.

She'll only think about you more and more,

she'll think you go out partying, having sex,

she'll keep thinking about it, that will hit her hard.

- When do I reply ? - Never.

- Never ? - Never. Control yourself.

Do whatever it takes but don't reply.

Delete WhatsApp, Facebook, close your Internet account.

- She'll phone you. - Really ?

Of course. And now, come here. Let's stop wasting time.

Sorry. I'm not ready yet.

Now I can only have sex in my wife's mind.

No problem. We can do something else.

- How about a movie ? - Okay.

Any ideas ?

Nothing, my mind is stripped even more than I am.

- Did you get banana candy ? - I did.

And some clothes for you.

What for ?

That's enough, let's go. You've been naked long enough.

No, I can't.

Of course you can. Guess what you can't do.

- What ? - Put your life on hold.

- You don't get it. - Get what ?

It was on hold until Rinaldi showed me how vital porn is.

It saved me. Porn saved my life.

And I'll go back to who I was if I don't pass on his legacy.

To not having a life.

I didn't know how important it is to you.

Okay. I'll help you out.

Thanks. Got some more banana candy ?

- Karin's crazy, César. - She's brave, Ariel.

Bravery is the worst form of craziness, faggot.

Not in her case. She's smart.

What kind of people praise you behind your back ?

I hope you don't do that to me.

Don't worry. You're not in any danger.

So how is your new buddy Eric ?

Is he still in love not wanting to fall in love ?

- He took your advice. - Really ?

- Yes, he took Naomi out. - What good taste he has !

- We were just talking about you. - What about me ?

Your decision to take Naomi out. Did you have a good time ?

- It was okay. I mean... - What ?

- She... - What ?

Her eyes are just like Bruna's.

Just like Bruna's ? You mean like on her face ?

Really, I couldn't stop thinking about Bruna.

What a moron ! Just keep having sex.

Every woman you're with makes Bruna fade away.

A little later, the DA went to speak with Karin.

I was shocked to hear you're in a cold-water cell.

So I had you transferred. Upstairs is more comfortable.

What do you want ?

We don't need to hate each other just because we're on different sides.

- You set me up. - That is not true.

You know it is.

Karin, I'm trying to get you out of this mess.

We cut a really great deal for you with your attorneys.

But you won't take it because you're mad at me.

I don't deserve that. I'm not your enemy.

I only try to enforce the law.

I appreciate your gesture.

But there's no way I'm making a deal with you.

I've worked hard to get where I am. I'm a decent, hard-working guy.

I won't let you accuse me of setting you up like that.

If you try to hurt me in any way I will destroy you.

Have no doubt about that.

I wanted our relationship to be friendly.

I chose to be a DA because I like helping people.

And I'd like to help you now.

I prefer it when you say you'll destroy me. That's more honest.

Think about it, Karin.

That evening, the poly love community dined with another candidate.

I remember you from my religious art class.

You were my cutest student.

I'd like to teach a whole class about you.

- Stop it. - It's true.

What would you say about her ?

- What would I say ? - Yes.

Alright, I'd just say Magali has the beauty and grace of the Degas dancers.

But with the advantage that she's of age.

To him, only Magali is hot.

That's not true. Sabrina's a work of art too.

Her eyes and her smile have the sweetness and melancholic beauty

of Alphonsine Fournaise painted by Renoir.

- You're exaggerating. - I never exaggerate.

And you, Letícia.

You have the delicacy and the elegance

of an English eighteenth century watercolor.

But something about you suggests the possibility of a storm

like in William Turner's paintings.

I probably have a little storminess in me.

Storms that are fierce and yet sublime.

May I return the compliment ?

Guess what your nickname was in my class.

- What ? - Mister Hottie.

Mister Hottie. How come ?

- Because he's cute. - Shut up already.

I understand Zanini. I don't think I'm cute.

- But you are. - I agree.

Thanks, girls. But you're the hotties here.

So tell me, Mister Hottie. How many students heard that this semester ?

Feeling offended, Zanini ? I think you're cute too.

So, I'm cute now ?

Yes, your Gothic features are very interesting.

- Did you call me a gargoyle ? - Gargoyles are works of art too.

You know what work of art you're like, Mister Hottie ?

- Zanini. - I'm only speaking the truth.

- What truth, Zanini ? - Ever heard of this painting ?

Dumb art teacher with bulging eyes and a salmon up his butt ?

Excuse me ?

It's for real, it's right in front of us !

- Are you insane ? - That's it. Go to your room.

No worries, girls. I have a simile for him too.

- Really ? What simile's that ? - The simile of my fist in your face.

Son of a bitch ! I will smash your face !

How could you ruin the whole thing ?

What a jerk, how could you guys fall for that crap ?

Just because he teaches art he compares women to paintings ?

It's as if I compared you guys to legal documents.

We can't allow you to come to our next meeting.

What ?

- I agree with Sabrina. - Me, too.

That's it. We'll do it without you.

"That's why I claim that DA fiscal Rodolfo Sherman,

in collusion with the Attorney General, and judge Jorge Dualibi de Almeida,

incriminated me to destroy my credibility

and silence my campaign in favor of sex workers, in an abuse of power

and smearing even more the Brazilian judicial system.

I ask all honest citizens to share this information and combat this injustice.

Karin".

- She wants us to publish that ? - Yes. Today.

Wouldn't that make matters worse ?

It will kill any chance of cutting a deal and put the DA, the judge,

and the Attorney General against her.

I guess you know that's why I'm against publishing it.

- What do you think ? - I thinks she's crazy.

But she is who she is because of her craziness.

And I don't get crazy people. I'm normal.

You're normal ?

- The most normal guy I know. - That doesn't count.

If she wants to disclose her statement, shouldn't we do it and stand with her ?

- I think we should. - Me too.

Me too.

You're just as crazy as she is, but let's do it.

- Let's share the damn statement. - I'll call a press conference.

Great, let's sling some mud. It's high time I did.

- Ariel. - Yes ?

Have you thought about somebody for me ?

I'm working on it, Neide. We'll find somebody for you.

Don't worry. We'll have a name soon.

Okay. Thanks.

I'm so sorry !

- It's nothing. - I'll get a towel.

That's not necessary. It's just water.

- I'm such a mess ! - It's my fault. I bumped into you.

I bump into people I unconsciously want to meet.

- Do you work here ? - Me ? No, I'm here because I...

I know one of the girls.

- The girls seem to be nice. - They are.

But I don't know them well.

I only come here when my friends drag me in.

Why ? Don't you like the club ?

Yes, I like it here, but I prefer to date women I can relate to.

I see.

- So why do your friends drag you here ? - Because they're morons.

Two minutes later they exchanged phone numbers.

Very well.

On Karin's behalf, I'd like to thank you for coming.

Karin prepared a statement to explain her situation.

The public already knows the official story

that DA Rodolfo Sherman's been spreading.

Now it's important for everybody to hear the other side of the story.

"When I decided my life's work was standing up for sex workers,

I knew I would be confronted by several sectors of society.

But I never thought the people who are supposed to do justice

would use their power to do this kind of injustice.

That's why I claim that DA Rodolfo Sherman,

in collusion with the Attorney General, and judge Jorge Dualibi de Almeida,

incriminated me to destroy my credibility."

Sherman, you have to admit she's both hot and bold.

She's making fools of everybody.

Mocking the justice system, all our judges.

What are we going to do about it ?

What ? Don't tell me you didn't like Kelly.

No, I did. I liked her.

- So what is it ? - Well...

What ?

- Her tits. - What about them ?

They're just like Bruna's. Identical.

Dear God !

Let's keep trying then.

Come in. I have news for you.

- What happened ? - My wife called.

- So soon ? - Yes.

That was faster than I thought. What did she say ?

She wants to see me. We're meeting tomorrow at the company's party.

- Great. - I'm nervous.

That's normal. Just don't let her see it. You need to look secure.

- I can't do it. - You have to.

I know myself. I can't.

Then you need to show her that even if you're nervous,

and insecure, you're her best bet.

How do I do that ?

A college professor told me

how he bought his house for way below market value.

He couldn't afford it when it was put up for sale.

So he had his friends phone them every day

making ridiculously low offers to lower the price.

Two weeks later he spoke with the owner and offered him the money he had.

- The owner accepted right away. - I believe I'm the professor ?

But how do I get this house back ?

Listen up, you need to find a really dull, hideous guy.

The biggest scumbag you can find,

have him hit on her constantly during the party.

Then when you show up, all nervous and insecure,

you'll be her best option.

I really like you, Luna. You're a smart girl.

I like you too.

Sorry.

No problem. We can do something else.

Thanks.

I'm the most pathetic guy on Earth. Think about it.

I have three hot, wonderful women, who want to have sex with me constantly.

In any position. They never say no, never.

And what happens ? I can't handle it.

A guy needs to watch TV, read the paper, rest, right ?

So I'm fine with another guy moving in with us,

they interview the candidates like you would for a job.

But they can't find anybody and the position is vacant.

No. Don't say it. Don't even think about it.

Who do I complain to if you screw my women ?

Plus I forbid them to pick out a guy I know.

More grappa, please.

So the position's still vacant

and they decided to exclude me from the selection process.

So right now they're dining with some stranger who could move in tomorrow,

drink all my beer, tell us to order tuna pizza.

So as I said, my friend, I'm the most pathetic guy on Earth.

- I can't believe it ! - I swear.

- No way ! - I swear.

Ramon, can you get us some more wine ?

Sure.

While Zanini was whining, his three women were having fun.

Ramon is perfect, right ?

He was my favorite boyfriend after Zanini.

- I think we have our guy. - I think so too.

I can't take this anymore.

Why don't we have some fun ?

- I don't think I can. - But I can.

Can you help me ?

- Right now ? - Yes.

- I have an idea ! - Don't stop, Yuri, not now.

It's a great idea.

For God's sake, continue. Tell me later.

That was great.

Thanks. So what idea is it ?

I forgot.

- Seriously ? - Yes. Seriously.

The very next day the Attorney General reacted to Karin's statement.

It wasn't a peaceful reaction.

They cracked down on escorts for indecent behavior or any other pretext.

And escort agencies started being shut down.

Not knowing the world around us was crashing, it was business as usual.

So I went to see my john who wanted his wife back.

Hi.

What happened ?

It worked, Luna. I made up with my wife.

I did it. She's mine again.

My love is back and I'll make her so happy.

Just wait and see.

Now let's do it again. I'm horny as hell.

- And ? - Nothing.

- That's bad. - Yes.

It's no use. I'll never remember my idea.

And I'll never have another idea.

- Don't talk like that. - It's true.

- Where did you put my clothes ? - You're giving up ?

Yes, I'm going back to my lifeless life.

I loved it.

So, how did it go ? How was this one like Bruna ?

In no way whatsoever. She's nothing like Bruna.

So what's with the face ?

She's so unlike Bruna all I thought about was Bruna.

Then there's just one thing you can do.

- What ? - Suffer.

We choose what bodily fluid to expel.

And you chose tears. Good luck.

- Hello. - Bruna. It's Eric.

- Hi. - Hi.

I spent all day at the office thinking about last night.

I think Ramón's so cool. Has he called ?

No.

- Have you texted him ? - We did.

- And ? - The saddest words in Portuguese.

He read it and didn't reply.

He didn't want a relationship. Just sex.

All men are like that.

They'll say they love the idea of a community just to have sex with us,

but then they'll run away.

Yes, finding somebody is harder than I thought.

Why don't we go to that event ? It's pretty soon.

What event ?

The poly love event with lots of available guys.

Let's give it a try.

Yuri went out that evening to try and cheer himself up.

But the news got him even more depressed.

Today, the Attorney General,

working with the São Paulo civilian and military police

launched Operation Cleanup,

taking escorts off the streets and shutting brothels down.

This operation is in reply

to the campaign that Karin started here on this show.

Karin is in prison, accused of sexual exploitation.

I paid her a visit a few hours ago.

I assure you she's my friend and an admirable person.

I am totally convinced of her innocence.

I can't believe this.

Operation Cleanup. Karin in jail. Damn it !

And then...

- Why don't you use that ? - Use that for what ?

What do you mean for what ? For your script.

It's a great theme. An ever more conservative world.

One woman against the world.

And suddenly the entire movie flashed through Yuri's head.

Thanks, Raíssa. I love you.

Next time you need a spanking I might just do it.

Thank you for having us.

I represent our association of pimps and escorts.

So, tell us, Gilmar. What can we do for you guys ?

As all of you know, things are getting pretty tough.

Today they shut down two more brothels.

The girls are scared of working the streets

and johns are spending more time with their folks.

In other words, we're totally screwed.

Yes, I know.

So what we need to ask you to do for us is to make Karin quit what she's doing.

She's only trying to help escorts.

Yes, but by helping escorts she's getting rid of escorting.

She needs to stop. You need to make her stop.

What is it, Eric ?

The cops are here to shut the club down.

You need to take the DA's deal. Do you understand ?

I won't take it, Ariel.

Don't be so stubborn. Everybody's against us.

- All the escorts, all the pimps. - Even the johns.

- Nobody said this struggle was easy. - You need to stop, you must.

They shut Blue down. We're not working. We'll lose everything.

If you don't stop this now, we can't defend you anymore.

We can't help you ruin yourself and everybody else.

- Please think it over. - I already did.

I need to do what I think is right, with you guys or on my own.

Then you're on your own.

We need to go now.
