Not a son a bitch, mercenary, who only wants the club's money!

Are you crazy, man? - You are crazy!

Lowlifes like you are the ones who ruin soccer, you piece of shit!

[Jair] Okay Genaro. Thank you, bye.

Genaro said he is okay, he didn't break anything,

he is still in the hospital, but he'll take him home.

Damn man, Carniça is a lowlife, a well-known thug!

I just want to see how long he'll be in jail!

How long he'll be in jail, Cidão, tomorrow he is free!

Tomorrow he is free, this prick!

I just wanna know this! Did you know Diogo?

Who is this daughter, who does she live with and where?

I didn't know, alright?

But if this kid exists, Kadu was deceived by you.

Deceived by me! I am the victim in this story!

Now he's gonna cut your pension

and there's nothing you can do about it.

He won't, he definitely won't cut my pension, you can bet on it.

He won't! - Flávia, you can't have children! Okay?

[Diogo] And your biggest mistake was to reverse the roles

and made Kadu feel guilty throughout his whole life!

Who said I can't have children? Who told you that?

But I also came because I have terrible news for you.

Look, I know what Flávia did about the children thing

is unforgivable, but she's up to something else.

And it's gonna be bad! - What do you mean?

Sh's going to post a video saying that you hit her.

I hit her? - I know it's a lie, alright.

But look, social media is an inquisition nowadays!

There's a lot of assholes being exposed,

but there's also innocent people being fucked over.

Fuck! I get beaten up by four thugs

and I'm accused of beating my ex-wife, you have to be kidding!

A video like this can destroy a person's life in hours, you know?

Complicated.

Enough of being afraid of Flavia,

I won't be blackmailed by her anymore.

Don't you think so, Diogo?

Kadu, I'm your friend in any situation, bro.

But on this subject I have nothing to tell you.

[steps]

Hey, kid. [Kadu] - What's up, uncle.

[slap] I came to see how you're doing.

[Diogo] I have to go. See you. [Kadu] - Nice, accompany him, please.

[Genaro] I told Kadu that all of this would start to happen.

[João Paulo] Unfortunately the companies think this way.

What matters more to them is being associated with Kadu's name

than with the hospital's.

It'd be great if it were different, but that's the way it is.

Kadu is in no condition to execute this project on his own.

He needs donors, supporters, partners!

As a manager, I need some guidance from you.

I've always benn against it, since the beginning!

Do I stop the process?

It's an old building, it needs a lot of investment

to function fully!

Madonna Santa! With everything that's going on

now this!

[João Paulo] It was already difficult to keep the supporting companies

but after they broke Kadu's contract

sorry, no company wants its brand

associated with a loser!

If I tell Kadu that this project will stop

my boy won't play like he used to ever again.

You have no idea how these players' heads work.

They are boys, they are...

But what he has to understand

is that a hospital for infectious diseases

is something very specific,

that's why everything becomes more difficult.

It was the promise he made to his mother.

He's very upset about everything that happened.

We have to help, right?Everything helps in his recovery

All right, and specifically what did you come here to do?

I wanted uncle Jair to take me to the girl

so I could give her the gift, but...

forget it!

Maybe you could help me.

Sorry ma'am, but I can't give you any information

about the girl. Why don't you call Jair?

But I came all the way here and I won't give her the souvenir?

Look, I'm not looking for the girl,

But it was not me who invented this standard of living,

it was Kadu!

[Cedenir] Because I'm a simple guy,

I'm not picky, got it?

Do you know what this is?

A letter from your son's lawyer suspending my pension.

[Flávia] You know what I can do about it?

Nothing! Nothing! Just like if you get one of these

you won't be able to do anything because you can't!

You, Samantha,

are gonna need to show a lot of love

No, I'm not.

You didn't believe in that nonsense Flávia said, did you?

What you two do is none of my business, Mr. Kadu.

But I didn't do anything, Nice.

Did you see me hit Flavia?

Did you?

You didn't see it because it didn't happen.

Now she's threatening me, blackmailing me, that bitch!

II can't beleive that you're doubting me.

I'm not, Mr. Kadu.
