Original subtitles

- Where is everybody? - They transferred some of our staff.

As a government agency, we can't accuse the president.

Our operation is going dark as of today.

Will they finance us to prove the president of the lower house,

the Senate and the country are all corrupt?

- They're playing you. - I'm the boss now.

I'm the president.

Sex with him isn't great. I just fake it.

She has what Freud calls a father complex. Maybe it's my fault.

I'll always give you everything.

As long as I obey you.

Did you know I've been thinking a lot about you, Michele?

I'm opening a new business and we need a woman's touch.

Do your patients fall in love with you, Sofia?

Christian, why did you keep coming

- if you were forced to be here? - To get to know you.

- Nanda, you're always on fire. - She puts it out right away.

I've never climaxed with him.

What system are you after?

Totterman's security system. To hack Triad.

An eyewitness saw Otero getting out of Daniel's car

the night he was killed.

I want you to know the plan behind the hacking, Sofia.

Edgar faked the whole thing to make it look like a hacking.

But at the very last minute he betrayed Otero.

You're such a control freak.

You play physical, emotional and psychological games

to make everyone do exactly as you want.

IT'S NOT YOUR WORDS,

IT'S YOUR THOUGHTS THAT INSULT ME

Help! Help!

- Are you okay? Are you hurt? - My phone! My phone!

I saw him push you. He had a gun, right?

I didn't notice.

- Ma'am. Are you hurt? - No. My phone!

It's okay. Calm down.

- He had a gun, right? - Are you hurt?

- No. - Unbelievable.

- Are you okay? - Unbelievable.

- Everything okay? - My God!

- What? - My blood pressure's low.

- What happened? - I don't know.

Did you see his face? Did you see his face?

That's the third time I was mugged this month.

That never happened here. Never ever.

- Are you sure? - Of course.

- Did you see his face or not? - It happened so fast.

Unbelievable.

- Thank you. - Are you okay?

You saved my life. Thank you, sir.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Can I get you a cab? - No, I'm going...

- Or take you to a hospital? - No, no hospitals.

You need to be more alert. You were right there.

- Peel your eyes. - I'm bruised.

- Let's go to a hospital. - No, I'd better go home.

It was like a movie.

Steven Spielberg.

Where's my beer?

You should've seen his face when she said,

"You saved my life!"

The guy was stunned!

This is no time to celebrate.

That was the easy part. Now it gets serious.

Nobody's celebrating.

- Nobody. - Don't be such a buzz kill.

This is not a game we're playing. We need to focus.

You'd better learn that in case you still haven't.

Listen, man.

Who do you think you're talking to?

They killed my sister. You think I'm here to have fun?

You guys have had it easy.

If you get caught hacking a company's system,

nothing happens and the company's happy.

Not here, we either do time or get killed.

I know when something's risky.

And by the way.

Nobody pushes me around. Is that clear?

Is that clear?

No problem. Nobody pushes anybody around.

I just wanted to help.

Good.

Let's continue working. There's a lot to be done.

Giordana. Is everything okay?

- I'm fine. - Can we get started?

You can lie down.

You need to be totally relaxed.

Okay? I'll remove this sheet so you'll be more comfortable.

Good.

Your body is your temple

and it's time to take care of it, alright?

Now I'll connect my hand to your heart,

for your circular breathing.

That's it. Continue.

- Sorry. - What's wrong?

Can I... Can I have a female therapist?

Sure, would you be more comfortable?

I'll call her for you.

Could you continue with Giordana?

- Hi, Giordana. - Hi.

How are you?

- I'm fine. - Can we continue?

You can lie down.

Loosen up your body.

I'll begin by connecting to your heart's chakra, okay?

Very good.

As you let the air out you're locking yourself in.

You connect with your cells.

As we start shifting some energy points,

certain emotions and memories might come back to you.

I think you need... You need to slow down a little.

Okay.

Embrace whatever emerges.

All this work we apply to our sexual energy

is totally connected

to some of our childhood conditioning.

From our adolescence, from our families,

which can produce certain beliefs that...

Stop! Stop!

- Okay. - I don't want to be touched.

I'm glad you came.

The food is great here. We can talk over lunch.

I reserved a table.

I don't have time for lunch.

You asked for ten minutes, said it's urgent.

As you wish. We can stay here then.

I'm having Aperol. Can I get you something?

No, thank you.

Then I'll go straight to the point.

As head editor of that website, the...

"Fórum."

Yes. "Fórum", nice name.

I notice it's expanding in the digital media.

Your position demands

enormous responsibility and good judgment.

More so with so many bloggers

publishing all kinds of stuff on the Internet.

These are times of fake news that benefit nobody.

Fórum's reporters are top-rated,

responsible and respected in the business.

Yes, please, I'd never insinuate anything to the contrary.

I meant the general tendency on the Internet.

Everyone's uploading tons of crap indiscriminately.

What's your point, Mr. Otero?

Just Otero is fine. Here's my business card.

My name must sound familiar to you.

I've even been mentioned in your news bulletin.

I ask you again. What's your point?

I happen to work in the financial market,

and I know the owners of the website, and...

Would you please get to the point?

Aren't you being too stern for an informal meeting?

This isn't an informal meeting.

The Americans have a name for women like you.

Tough Cookie. Resilient.

It couldn't be easy for a woman like you

to move up the ladder, so I guess...

A woman like me?

Don't get me wrong. I meant no offence, I meant...

I wouldn't say another word if I were you.

I could file a complaint against you for racism.

What racism? I said nothing. Are you insane?

You didn't need to.

With people like you, it's not your words,

it's your thoughts that insult me.

Damn bitch!

Gustavo, have you got the hacking details?

- Here. - Please open it.

This one and this one.

- Vicente. - Yes?

How's it going?

I'm working on it. I'm almost done.

But what I've got so far is a bombshell.

Are we covered?

Take this home with you. Read it carefully.

And tell me what you think.

We must be careful. These are bad people.

Nothing good about them.

How much longer?

You'll have the whole thing in two days, okay?

- Two days? - Yes.

The operation is threatened.

There was another huge attack from Brasilia.

Direct orders?

They couldn't be more direct than that.

But from whom? Who gave you these orders?

They came from Norberto,

which came all the way from the top.

What do you think? These are Zairo's orders.

Another reason not to let it happen.

They took away our staff and our budget, Luis.

They screwed Adriano's Feds too.

Motherfucker!

Hello.

- Luis. - Hi, Norberto.

You know we called off the operation?

Yes, and we need to talk. I just don't get it.

I don't get the reasoning behind such extreme measures.

- You don't get it? - No. I don't get it!

The president has to stay out of our investigation.

ABIN is an independent agency.

We're trapped in a crossfire. Don't you guys see that?

It doesn't make any sense, Norberto.

After everything we've achieved, everything we've discovered,

calling it off so suddenly is ridiculous.

I believe the exact opposite.

You have absolutely nothing after all this time.

You haven't provided any solid proof whatsoever.

The most powerful people in the country are involved.

And the heists are extremely sophisticated and covered up.

But we did get somewhere.

At least we've identified them.

We're on to them. We'll find a weak link.

We always find one no matter how small,

and then maybe we can get them.

Norberto, we're on the same side.

These are superior orders. We have to obey them.

And those guys you're out to get are the ones that decide

whether the investigation continues or not.

Fuck, Norberto.

You know that and you're giving up?

I'll draft a statement that we agree to call it off.

- Felipe! - Erick.

I didn't expect to see you.

I didn't know you were... in São Paulo.

That I got out of jail, Felipe?

All I heard were rumors.

But I wasn't sure. I never even mentioned it.

- And I haven't the slightest... - Hold on just one second.

Do you work for Demetrio?

Damn!

I'm his totally trusted personal advisor.

He sent me, but I had no idea you...

But I'm very glad anyway.

Quit the crap. You're his contact?

- You came for this? - That's right.

- Damn it! - You can totally trust me.

I don't see, or talk, or hear, and I'm clearly not judgmental.

- Damn! Your brother-in-law? - No longer. I'm legally divorced.

If you ever, whether for your own benefit,

or to protect yourself, or whatever, I don't care,

if you ever double-cross us,

I will castrate you.

Got it?

Apart from being totally trusted by Demetrio, Erick,

I consider you my family.

Because I've always looked up to you and admired you.

If you tell anybody at all, we'll slice it off.

Got it?

Here, take the suitcase.

Listen up.

You got involved in this and if you get caught,

if you end up doing time, keep your trap shut, okay?

No worries, Demetrio is very careful,

he has many congressmen friends, so he's handling it.

We're in good hands and on the same side here.

There's no same side, Felipe!

He wants me to come back next week, by the way.

Fine, but first I need some kind of guarantee.

I need to know if they're willing to do business.

Don't worry, you'll have what you need.

VIP treatment.

Demetrio is welcome in congress and I can be your liaison there.

I have some great contacts. I focus more on social issues...

Quit the bragging.

Get out of here, Felipe. Careful with that package.

Fine, I'm at your disposal for whatever you need.

That guy's full of it. How can he be Demetrio's advisor?

What does a political advisor do?

Hauls bags stuffed with cash, gets women and drugs.

The moron's perfect job.

Giordana.

I...

I need to talk to you.

Sure, but may I ask you something first?

Sure. Go ahead.

I think it would be very interesting for you,

even as a journalist.

Go on.

I'd like you to go to Tantra with me,

to do the practical classes together.

How about it?

Do you really think they'd let me?

Of course, they even recommend taking a...

A partner.

I admit I already...

I've thought about it. I find it very interesting.

I even tried to write a story about Tantra

and Sofia refused, she rejected being interviewed.

I think if you go there and show interest,

get to know Tantra better, it could help, right?

Let's go?

- Let's go. - Sure. Let's go.

Check this out.

Richard Grishman's coming. He's a genius. Ever heard of him?

No. Who is he?

The greatest political scientist of our time.

His discourse seems futuristic because it sounds so crazy.

He's a negotiator. A peace mediator.

He deals with issues in the Middle East, North Korea.

He's a genius, a genius.

Are you interviewing him?

No way. He doesn't do interviews.

Imagine me interviewing him?

Why not you?

Because a website like Fórum

is totally out of his radar.

All the great media want him, but they can't have him.

Just imagine.

His 50-seat lecture room is totally booked.

Gosh, he's coming to Brazil to speak to 50 people?

That's how great he is.

I'd better get going.

- What? How so, Giordana? - I need to go.

We need to talk. Sit down. Seriously.

- How about tomorrow? - Where are you going?

- We'll talk tomorrow. - Where are you going?

- Kiss. - Where are you going? Come here.

Seriously, come here.

How much is this?

Gosh! That one was pre-ordered.

- Seriously? - Look around.

You might like some other items.

What a coincidence. He pre-ordered the piece.

- Do you still want it? - Sure.

- Any problem? - She likes it too.

That's okay. Thanks.

- Sure. Debit or credit? - Whatever.

- Hi. - Hi.

I was here first and I bought it.

But if you want, I can let you have it.

No, of course not.

It's yours, good for you. It's a lovely piece.

Are you a collector?

No, I come over sometimes,

and if I see something I like, I buy it.

But I'm not that serious.

I'm no expert myself,

but sometimes I see something I like.

Isn't it better like that?

I mean, with no kind of commitment.

If I see something I find interesting,

I feel like having it.

Yes, it happens a lot.

Actually it happens very rarely.

It happens very rarely. You see so many items.

But just one item among so many others

really catches your eye.

I sometimes wonder if it's some kind of memory

from another life maybe?

Sometimes you see something that seems familiar,

and you think you recognize it or something.

- But it stands out. - Exactly.

I'm Erick.

Nice to meet you. Verónica.

Thank you.

A treat with our coffee to make our encounter even sweeter.

Thanks.

Afternoon coffee and pastry.

It's good for you.

Tell me about yourself.

Do you work? You don't work?

Married? Single?

I'm single right now. Just out of a long relationship.

I'm not married. But I almost did.

I work at an advertising agency,

but I decided to take a sabbatical year.

Gosh, a sabbatical year!

To get to know myself better.

I need to get to know you too.

Very funny.

What do you do?

I worked for years in the financial market.

But I decided to take some time off.

I'm determined to change.

- Now I work in an investment firm. - Cool.

Projects. Construction.

Single. Never got married.

So, what do you build?

Lots of projects. Condos.

Offices.

Sorry, I have to go now.

Sorry. Thanks for the great coffee.

- Am I that boring? - Of course not. It's not that.

I just stayed more than I should.

But thanks.

Fine, I'll take that as a compliment.

If you need one...

- You score a point. - No, this is not a game.

Okay.

- Okay then. - I want you to have this.

No, I can't.

It's yours, it brings back memories from a past life.

- I can't keep it. - No way, I can't accept it.

Please. Take it.

Thank you.

Bye.

I knew you'd agree with me.

Yes, I finally realized I acted like a jerk.

But put yourself in my shoes.

It's okay to be dumped for another guy.

But being dumped for a woman is different.

But think about it.

Not having any competition could be cool.

- It's like another league. - I get it.

There's less comparing. You don't wonder if the guy's funny like you,

or cool like you, or if his dick is bigger.

- Don't you think about that? - Yes, it's true.

We're always wondering about the other guy's size.

But how would you know?

I grew up hearing that crap from three brothers.

- I see. We're a little naive. - A little?

But you're different. You like guys, right?

Says who?

Well, you're a lesbian.

Are you labeling me now?

That was my first time with a woman.

Marta was my first.

- Are you kidding me? - No, seriously.

You were never with a woman?

I had sex at parties sometimes,

but always with my ex, Sergio, and that was it.

Man, I want to have sex with two women but...

What'll it be?

Irish coffee and the Caprese?

The perfect blend.

Yes. That was amazing.

I told you.

You really are... You...

You're a... You're one smoking hot woman.

A volcano. A cyclone.

- A turn-on! - Yes. My God!

I have to admit that now I totally understand Marta.

No, it was totally different with her.

It was better with me?

Are you going to compete with your ex?

What goes around comes around.

She cheated on me with you, you on her with me,

and now me with you.

Nobody cheated on anybody. It happens.

It's all about the tests and the temptation.

- You got that right. - Yes. I certainly said it right.

Right to the point.

But not just now, gorgeous.

- What's this? - Open it.

A ticket.

It's true. It's for 50 people. Now you're one of them.

How did you do it?

The seats are numbered. You're in the middle of row 3.

Come over to the house when it's over.

Your house? What for?

I can't promise you a seat next to him at dinner.

Next to whom?

Richard Grishman. Isn't that what you wanted?

Richard Grishman is having dinner at your house?

And he'll speak with you

for ten minutes after dinner, discreetly.

You're not real. You can't be!

- How did you do it? - I'm not telling you.

Tell me how you did it.

I know lots of people

who became fascinated by just being close to power.

It seems that being that close to power

has some irresistible attraction.

What's wrong with you? What are you talking about?

You let yourself get involved,

you get dazzled by an invitation,

a ticket, a trip.

And suddenly you're living a life that's not yours.

Damn. Come on, Luis.

You think money dazzles me?

Is that what you think of me?

No, it's not just money, because power isn't just money.

People who are dazzled just by money think small.

Nothing dazzles me, nothing.

There's something much more attractive,

being part of the action.

And suddenly being the force behind the action.

You make things happen,

and then you just watch how things play out before you.

Listen, if I'm inside,

it's only to know what's going on and if I can avoid it.

If that's power, I want it. Why not? So I can do something.

What's the problem? Isn't that a good thing?

It's quicksand.

It's a quicksand pit

that swallows you up without you realizing it.

Luis, I'm inside. I'm taking out the trash.

And you throw metaphors at me? Damn it!

Vicente, you're flirting with power.

And that's the most dangerous flirt there is.

You have that story you're going to publish

which will do a lot of harm.

At the same time you're dating the daughter of the guy

you're going to double-cross.

I already told you, Luis, I told you, man.

I know what I'm doing. I don't mix things.

They are already mixed!

I thought you'd make up any excuse to stop coming.

Quite the contrary.

I'm giving a thousand excuses to return.

I'm very interested in our therapeutic sessions.

You don't believe they can help you.

Sofia, I'm sure they can.

I firmly believe they can cure me.

Christian, can't you see your irony,

your cynicism, are just a facade?

It's just another way

to defend yourself, to protect you from something.

I love that theory.

But can you actually tell me

why you chose cynicism to hide behind?

Sofia, my love, I'm here to remove all my masks,

one by one until you see how ugly I am.

Maybe what I see now is your ugliness.

Maybe without those masks your reality is more beautiful.

I love that cliché.

The mask hides the monster. Doesn't it?

His awful side.

I would scare you.

Who knows?

What don't you try me?

Can you take it?

I'm a walking cocktail of Bromazepan, Flumazenil,

and all the other crap I'm on.

I have to mix them up. Just one isn't enough.

Maybe your depression is a side effect

of all the drugs you're on.

A chicken and egg situation. Right, Sofia?

Am I depressive because I'm on drugs?

Or I'm on drugs because I'm depressive?

What came first, Sofia?

That's not the right question.

The right question is how to stop it,

how to undo that loop.

I like you more and more, Sofia.

Hey, I have to go now.

But rest assured,

you're not going to get rid of me that soon.

Who says I'm depressive?

- Are you mad at me? - Of course not.

I thought you were avoiding me.

I've been busy, that's all.

Am I forgiven?

There's nothing to forgive,

Miranda, you didn't want to hurt me.

That's good to know.

Sometimes you want to help, but you just mess things up.

Want some wine?

You're offering me wine instead of forbidding it?

What good is forbidding you anything?

I want you to know you only help other people.

I wish that were true, but...

Remember what you said about Pedro?

Every day of my life I remember what I did to him.

- That wasn't my intention. - I know.

But I think you're right.

This thing that I have gets out of hand.

Exactly. Will you help me look after you?

Here.

Cheers.

That's enough.

- Thanks for seeing me, I am... - I know who you are.

Well, neither of us has any time to spare,

so I'll get straight to the point.

You know who I am, so you know who I work for.

Certainly.

I understand you spoke with my client,

and you've got certain misinformation.

When some things are associated with financial institutions,

they can be very dangerous.

Edgar Eleno told you the rumors are so convincing

they can trigger some very ugly accusations,

jeopardizing the market and thousands of jobs...

When people talk too much I get suspicious.

That bubble can blow up at any moment.

Are you here to defend the financial market?

Actually you defend it, you work for our insurance company.

And since Edgar is so close to your boss,

we're on the same side.

Are you seeking my support?

Accomplices or adversaries. What a predicament.

But in order to do that, I'd have to support your methods.

Methods?

Just so you'll know.

Your methods, Luis, are much more questionable.

I don't mean the prerogative police officers have to kill,

it's the crime you committed that went beyond the limits

of any police officer during an interrogation.

I don't believe I follow you.

I think you do.

It's those frivolous reports nobody ever bothers to read.

What does it say about some guy that died?

"Injuries inflicted during his detention."

In any case,

it was just the death of some scumbag crook,

nothing serious.

Losing control is annoying.

I can lose control with you too,

who's nothing but a scumbag crook in a fancy suit.

You're not crazy enough to hit me, so get off of me.

Do you want me to tell the media that a cop

killed a prisoner during an interrogation,

and covered up his crime? That is ugly. That is so ugly.

It will be a lot worse for you

when your boss hears you backstabbed him.

What do you think he'll do when he finds out

you switched the accounts you gave Daniel

so all the cash he embezzled would go to your account?

Does he know it was you who murdered Daniel?

Was he part of it?

Or did you backstab him with that too?

I'll sue you. That's a false accusation.

Enough with the threats. You're screwed.

You were seen exiting his car the night of the crime.

What do you mean I was seen? Seen by whom?

What witnesses do you have? None whatsoever!

You can't accuse me without any eyewitnesses,

that's a fucking lie.

You're digging your own grave, you son of a bitch.

You were seen exiting his car.

Who saw me?

What witnesses do you have? None whatsoever!

You're screwed.

Next time you should bring your wife, Richard.

I'm not sure about that, I have too much fun alone.

Excuse me.

Let me introduce you something.

- Ok. - Hi.

This is our friend Vicente.

He's a young but very influential journalist.

So, you're the one I'm gonna talk to all night?

- Nice meeting you. - Nice meeting you.

- I heard good things. - Thank you so much, I'm honored.

I'm a big fan of yours.

Vicente is responsible for me still being here.

He was the one that saved my life when I had a heart attack.

Oh, that's something to be grateful about it, isn't that?

I think you overdid it, Edgar. It's what anyone would do.

Vicente.

I think of you as a soldier.

A very brave young warrior.

I told you that at your age I was like you,

and even today the battle continues.

Having good allies is important.

Uniting forces.

I appreciate that, I really appreciate that,

but the thing is that we... We're on different sides.

We're not fighting in the same trenches.

Well, things do change, and life is full of surprises.

Calassa, our bid has to be the only one there is.

I've already made sure of that.

I'm making my moves, contacting the right guys.

You know we have no friends.

You show them a bone,

they show you how big their teeth are.

When it's time to vote on it in the lower house,

start out with, start with any old thing

to divert people's attention.

Organize a leftist protest march.

That's good, very good.

They could put a bomb somewhere, blow up something.

A fire, one without any casualties.

That's right, no casualties. Yes, of course.

A leftist attack is good

because it creates fierce passions.

It's easier to maintain control in chaos.

You're no loser, Navarro. You're the man.

I do the best I can.

Edgar, we need to get rid of Calassa.

We can't negotiate with him.

The guy's a psycho, he's always plotting against us.

I thought you were taking care of that.

I was taking care of the judges.

My crime investigator is really good.

Now, if we don't have the Supreme Court on our side...

Hold on.

Zairo. Hey.

Always use this number. It's secure. So?

I already authorized the Central Bank bailout.

Great. Just in time.

- Can we meet at my place? - Yes.

To clear out our to-do list?

Yes, of course.

Navarro might be a problem.

No, don't worry about it.

Navarro won't cause any trouble. There's too much at stake.

Okay. Big hug.

Who were you talking to?

I was making some arrangements with Edgar.

- About money? - The Central Bank.

Take what is yours. They keep asking for favors.

It's the law of the jungle.

Sure I'm taking what's mine, Cassandra.

Stop saying that as if I'm some kind of idiot.

That's exactly what they're trying to do.

- How much? - A lot.

A lot? Really?

Look at me.

It really has to be a lot.

That's right.

No, take it easy.

Do you really have to do all that in bed?

That's what you do all day. Here too?

I'm under a lot of pressure to pick these ministers,

and on top of that they sent me a list of nominees.

What's this?

I need to pick the ministers by tomorrow.

Where's Nivaldo? He's not here.

Of course not. That's their list.

You think they know who Nivaldo is?

You said you'd force them to accept him.

Don't be ridiculous, Cassandra.

I'm being ridiculous, Zairo?

Those crooks that are trying to get rid of you

plotting behind your back, tell you what to do,

and me, your own wife,

at your side, working for our interests,

I'm the one you blame.

I want them to respect you. You know?

They need to know you're the boss, not them.

It's not that easy with so many interests at stake.

But the main interests are ours, understand?

They need to understand that you mean business,

that you're not a puppet, or anybody's clown.

Zairo, you are the president of Brazil.

Guess what I'll do.

I'm not signing the temporary tax exemption law.

- Good. - So they'll see who the boss is.

That's right, my love. Show them who's in charge.

Show them who's the boss.

Life is so dangerous.

The Devil is loose in the middle of the whirlwind.

Hello.

Hi, Luis.

Eli... Elisa. What the hell is this?

What is this? Can't you see I'm working?

You're always working, Edgar.

Can't you be less rude, and be a little more polite?

Is it too much to ask that you be a little affectionate?

Just a little?

I'm talking to you, Edgar.

Elisa, now what?

I've had a very tough day.

Can you look at me while we're talking?

We're not having a conversation.

You're just nagging me just before I go to sleep.

It's the only time we're alone, when we can talk.

Talk about what?

Talk about us.

About our lives, our relationship.

What I mean to you.

No, no.

You don't want to talk about us at this hour.

- Do you have a lover? - God!

A mistress, other women? Are you cheating on me?

Don't be ridiculous, Elisa!

But then, why are you here with me?

Out of habit?

You don't even look at me.

You don't even realize when I'm by your side.

I need to know if you still think about me as a woman.

I can't even remember the last time we made love.

I can't do this today!

I...

I need to be desired. I don't know who I am anymore.

A house keeper, someone who runs the household,

supervises the help, organizes dinner parties,

welcomes the guests.

Do you still love me?

I'm tired, Elisa.

- Of me? - No.

I'm just tired.

Excuse me.

Freeze!

Drop it!

Drop the gun.

Drop it or I'll shoot her. Now!

Now.

Hands up, no tricks, or she's dead.

Kick the gun away. Now!

Do I really need to kill both of you?

Good idea. A crime of passion.
