THIS PROGRAM IS LOOSELY BASED
ON ACTUAL EVENTS.

CHARACTERS AND EVENTS
WERE ADAPTED FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT.

Is anybody there?

Take it easy, politician!

What's going on? Are you lonely?

There's no water. I'm thirsty.

Get used to it.

On the weekends,
the quality of the service slips somewhat.

There are fewer employees.

Almost nobody stays over...

Imagine if something bad
happened to you?

It would take a while
for anyone to notice.

By that time,

the fate of the nation
was in the hands of one single man:

João Pedro Rangel.

If he opened his mouth...

Brasília would be fucked.

Rigo and the Prosecutor's Office
struck the first blow:

they sent the guy to hell...

to see if the devil could convince him
to accept a plea bargain.

It was a valid attempt.

And it scared a lot of people.

Agostini, if you don't release
my husband from prison...

I'm going to be the one
who speaks out.

Get that, Agostini?

I'm not the one who needs
to get that, Samira.

Oh, really?

So, who has to get it, Agostini?

Tell me.

State prison?

The worst one around.

Hand-picked.

That's a low blow.

They want him to crack.

I can't do anything about it.

João Pedro isn't prepared for Jaraguara.

Nobody is prepared for Jaraguara.

If he talks,
it will make everything more difficult.

In Jaraguara...

he will either crack...

or die.

Except Rigo couldn't leave the guy
in Jaraguara too long.

He could end up dead.

And a dead man of that importance...

was going to be a damn big problem.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Nothing will be traced back to you.

You can relax,
I'll be taking all the heat.

Verena will never give me another chance.

And I was enjoying this mess
we have going on here.

Gotta go back to Rondônia.

Go on.

Go.

Give her a shower and tuck her in.

What if...

Verena went after JPR's family?

If she made him talk
without a plea bargain?

I've never waited so long in my life.

I waited for the news
that JPR was going to talk.

And waited for my wife's return.

I know.

I turned her life into a living hell.

I had no right to complain.

In Regina's case,

I couldn't do anything except wait.

In João Pedro Rangel's case,

the situation was a bit different.

If he kept quiet,

I still had one last card up my sleeve.

I just needed to know
if Verena was still open to suggestions.

Hi.

I hope someday you can forgive me.

I know I didn't act properly.

Ruffo is an old friend of mine
and he asked for my help.

You know how hard it is
to say no to Ruffo.

I know I disrespected your command
and I am sorry.

This is an idea that occurred to Ruffo...

to help you get JPR
to talk without the plea bargain.

You might find it useful.

Good luck, deputy.

Where were you?

Regina left for three days.

To this day, I don't know where she went.

Rigo kept JPR in jail
for the same amount of time.

He spent three days in there
and nothing.

Get up. Let's go!

-Where to?
-None of your business.

-They said to take you.
-Take me where?

That's right.

The Devil sides with the corrupt.

The guy was a wimp, but he resisted.

PENITENTIARY
INMATE

I know what he felt
when he left Jaraguara.

First, he felt relieved to be alive.

Then, he started missing...

his wife, his daughter, his grandchildren.

Even his son-in-law.

It's very hard to be away
from the people you love.

It's even worse to know that,
because of you...

these people might end up in deep shit.

I want you to authorize
a procedure against JPR's family.

Jaraguara was the Prosecutor's Office
highest card and it went nowhere.

It's on us again!

And JPR will talk,
with or without a plea bargain.

He will talk.

I need you to let me speak to Rigo.

That's all.

Fine, Verena. Fine!

Excuse me, sir.

Verena wants to speak to you.

Law 12850/13.

-Conspiracy?
-Yes.

I'm after the daughter and son-in-law.
The law changed last year.

The minimum number of agents
for conspiracy changed from four to three.

I know the law.

Search and seizure
at JPR's daughter's home.

Did Jaraguara not do the trick?

How could you authorize such a thing?

I'm not responsible for the prison system.

I feel responsible
for the life of the man I arrested.

Do you authorize a search and seizure?

Would JPR remain silent
if his family were threatened?

The path was very clear.

Verena and Rigo understood this.

Ricky?

Honey! The police are here.

-What?
-The police are here!

-We have to open the door.
-No! I won't do that.

-Baby, we have to open it.
-No, I won't open it.

Put some clothes on. I'll get the door.

Relax, baby.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

Mr. Ricardo Cordeiro Neto?

Yes.

You two, follow me.

-Wait...
-Follow me, please.

Can they just come in like that, Ricky?

Where's the safe?

-We have no safe!
-We have no safe, we have nothing.

What are you doing here?
What are you looking for?

-Calm down.
-What do they want?

-They're looking around.
-Can they just barge in like this?

-Yes. They have a warrant.
-What warrant?

-A search and seizure warrant.
-What have we done wrong?

-Conspiracy.
-Conspiracy?

Where are the documents
you took out of your father's office?

Call Agostini.

Go!

Why are you doing this to us?

FEDERAL POLICE

The articles of organization say:

"Consulting management in HR,
executive training,

professionalization of family business."

Professionalization of family business

meaning corrupt father-in-law's
money laundering?

The company has about 30 clients.

You're gonna like this.

One of them...

is Petrobrasil.

JPR's son-in-law does consulting
for Petrobrasil?

He lent $1.9 million to his father-in-law.

Isn't it wonderful
that they do the accounts for this?

-Son of a bitch.
-Son of a bitch.

Let's show the Prosecutor's Office
how it's done.

Hi, honey.

Hi, Dad.

They told me to be quick.

You ruined my life.

But I have a son.

Just confess everything now.

It was all your doing.

Me, Ricky and Mom didn't know anything.

We simply followed your orders.

Just put an end to it all.

I'll take care of Mom.

Honey...

Pepê?

My daughter came here.

They let it reach my family.

Some things fall through the cracks,
but you're back here now.

We're alone, Ibrahim.

They've left us here on our own.

Yeah, always.

I'm going to talk.

If it makes them forget my family,
leave them alone, I'll talk.

That might be dangerous.

What are they going to do? Kill me?

It involves a lot of people,
you know that.

We're the only ones in here.

I'm sorry, Ibrahim.

I know you can hold on much longer,
but I can't. I'm going to talk.

I don't have to tell you it's foolish.
You know it is.

But...

since you're going to do it...

at least let's make it worth it.

You're going to call your attorney
and ask him to get you a plea bargain.

But that's what
the Prosecutor's Office wants.

-Agostini didn't think it was a good idea.
-Of course not!

You getting a plea bargain
will destroy his clientele, Pepê.

Pepê!

We're going to make
a plea bargain agreement.

You and I.

-You and I?
-If you talk, I have to talk too.

The first one can go in high.
Then the figure drops.

You might ask: "What's in it for me?"

You benefit because you know the theory.

I have the experience.

Together...

we explain the whole fucking thing.

Pepê...

get ready.

You'll be dead to the world.

It won't be easy.

You think they'd release my daughter?
My son-in-law?

Grant a sentence reduction?

I don't know about you, Pepê...

but I don't want to do any time!

-Lend me your mobile?
-Gonna call home?

I'm firing Agostini.

Give it to me.

He'll be thankful.

You or Club 13: who do you think
is more important to his office?

The Wizard brought together the lawyers

of the 13 richest and most corrupt
contractors in the country.

If he could persuade each one of them
to admit their crimes

and repay the country,
at least symbolically...

João Pedro Rangel would give the country
an explanation...

and bury the operation
before it reached the politicians.

If that's the price
for halting the investigations,

I find it reasonable.

And take the blame?

Are you nuts?

The Nobleman pays my fees
and he's not on the same page!

Rigo is turning out to be a persistent,
persuasive judge.

Tom authorized it and I believe
the rest of the group agrees with me.

We do.

How did this investigation,
a local thing, go so far?

Let's agree on a figure
that represents restitution...

even if it's symbolic.

I'm in. Excuse me.

Symbolic restitution
split between everyone, I can try.

But I doubt Ricardo will agree.

Let's try to agree on a figure.
Or at least on an order of magnitude.

Careful with the magnitude.
It must be a fair amount.

We should also avoid giving out names.

Restitution is for those
who owe something.

Plea bargain agreement in Curitiba.

João Pedro and Ibrahim are going to talk.

Isn't João Pedro a client of yours?

He used to be.

He just dismissed me.

The agreement must be set.

I'll check with the Attorney General.

If you think he's receptive,

we can arrange a meeting with everyone,

to close the deal.

I'll check with the Attorney General.

Restitution to be split between you all.

I don't know who was the biggest crook.

The Wizard or Ibrahim.

That Lebanese was
a professional son of a bitch.

He wanted to avoid prison
with JPR's plea bargain.

I've come in peace.

The Prosecutor's Office values peace.
Whenever possible.

You want an agreement, correct?

Isn't that what you want?

You're the one who called this meeting.

I'll lay my cards on the table.

I'm here to propose a joint agreement.

-What do you mean?
-A double collaboration.

A plea bargain for João Pedro
and Roberto Ibrahim.

How does that sound to you?

-They are two different matters.
-I wouldn't say so.

Just the one matter.

Their information is complementary.

One confirms the other's information.

Those are my terms.

Two plea bargains or none.

Well, that's not how we work.

Thank you.

What do you propose?

-Cláudio?
-Let him speak.

What's up?

Where have they sent JPR now?

It's worse than that.

The plea bargain.

Dimas called. They reached
an agreement with JPR and Ibrahim.

-Together?
-Together.

I'll be right back.

This is my operation!

I gathered evidence
and arrested those guys!

-It's the judicial system's.
-You're ruining everything!

I just got back from JPR's daughter's
house, with a truckload of evidence.

Why strike a deal? They have to do time!

It will take the investigation
to a different level.

I didn't arrest them
for you to release them.

We have to negotiate
to catch the big dogs.

Ibrahim has over 100 years
to serve in jail.

We can't even grasp JPR's involvement yet.

They'll turn in properties,
partnerships, pay--

Crumbs! Those are just crumbs!

We don't even know the extent of it.

It's too early to make a plea bargain.

In modern law, plea bargains
are a common resource.

Oh, really? He misled you last time.

-He'll break his word.
-Financial crime!

Years gathering evidence
and no guarantees.

That's the job.

It's our decision. I've informed Rigo.

So, that's it?

I'm not your enemy, Verena.

No, Cláudio.

You're worse than that.

I knew how Verena was feeling.

Sooner or later, JPR and Ibrahim
would be released.

But would they be willing to talk?

Yeah...

being a federal agent
in the land of corruption isn't easy.

The burden is heavy.

No one can bear it alone.

Hi, Ruffo.

Hi.

It never crossed my mind to just give up.

This shit is tiring.

I have this feeling
that everyone wants me to say I give up,

that I'm tired.

Yeah...

They hate those who don't get tired.

-You don't.
-And you do?

Yeah...

So... They hate us. Cheers!

Sorry.

You know that it wasn't because
I thought you couldn't do it.

It's because you can't keep away.

Yeah.

It almost worked.

It's always the Prosecutor's Office.

-It's always Cláudio.
-Yeah, always.

-I'll get it.
-No.

-I'll get it.
-Are you sure?

I'm feeling better.

-What's up?
-Are you OK?

I'm fine, and you?

Hi.

Make yourself at home.

Supplies.

Thank you.

I didn't want to leave.

You've got to choose better friends.
That's it. Come on in.

-He bosses me around.
-He bosses me around as well.

I don't boss anyone around,
not even in my own house.

-I just try to help.
-Yeah.

Vander, my protégé.

-You know Ruffo.
-The Great Ruffo.

Vander.

-For you.
-Thank you.

Master!

Guilhome...

Do you think they'll release those rats?

Sooner or later.

Sooner, it would seem.

Well...

let's toast to us

who are crazy enough to do what we do.

-Would you rather be a prosecutor?
-Are you kidding me?

So, Mr. Rangel...

could you tell us how it all began?

How it all began?

It all began in 1808,
when King John VI came to Brazil.

I'm serious.

At the time, the merchants
and slave traders ruled.

They had all the money.

The richest of them all

was called Elias Antônio Lopes, I believe.

Realizing the city had little to offer,

he granted the Quinta da Boa Vista Estate
to King John and his family to live in.

That's how it all began.

In exchange, he was awarded
the Military Order of Christ.

He became Notary Public
and Clerk of Paraty.

Knight of the Royal House,
Governor, Lord of Tiradentes.

And most important, he became
the Court insurance provider

and responsible for tax collection
in several locations.

That's how this everlasting tradition
that brought us here began.

That part, actually,
I'm already familiar with.

Now, can you tell me
something I don't know?

Maybe you don't know...

that nowadays, Brazilian courts
are funded by major contractors.

That happens on the Supply division,

but JPR isn't the only director involved.

Other divisions are too.

Which other divisions are involved?

The Services division
gave money to the government.

Were you also operating for them?

No. That was the party treasurer.

Any others?

-The International division.
-Which also financed the government?

No, it financed the other coalition party,

the vice-president's party.

Every company dealing with Petrobrasil

had to pay 1% to the Supply division
and 1% to the Services division.

These divisions took part in the scheme.
Three of them!

They financed the government
and the coalition party.

OK.

I'm not a mentor,
nor the head of the scheme.

There are bigger fish.

What do you mean by "bigger fish"?

People above the Petrobrasil
board of directors.

Who?

Public agents, politicians.

Did you take part in any meeting
with these politicians?

Yes, politicians, contractors.

We had meetings all the time.

Everything was well-organized,
we recorded everything,

drafted minutes.

-Minutes?
-Yes, minutes.

We had detailed minutes
of the operations.

The minutes kept everybody informed,
those who couldn't attend.

Who's everybody?

The presidency of Petrobrasil,
the Planalto Palace.

What do you mean by "Planalto Palace"?

The Chief of Staff's Office,
the Department of Energy,

Brazil's presidency.

The number you have called
is not available.

Please leave a message after the tone.

Verena, I'm trying to reach you.
Call me when you get this.

There were plenty of power struggles
between the parties

to see who would get the divisions.

The Planalto settled the disputes.

The Planalto Palace?

Can you give us any names?

Former President João Higino,
President Janete...

Dudinha.

The Attorney General.

Are you saying that Higino and Janete
knew all about this?

Roberto Ibrahim working
with the authorities?

I should have been suspicious.

Yes.

Higino and Janete knew everything.

They knew everything.

He's never done anything
without an ulterior motive.

But at that point,

it looked like the Prosecution's
technique was working.

They were talking.

I even wanted to celebrate.

But to celebrate amounted
to applauding Cláudio...

and I was not going to do that.

Deputy.

-Long time.
-A really long time.

Since you released Ibrahim.

You liked that and would do it again?

Is this about the plea bargains?

It's been a great tool, right, Verena?

To the criminals, yes.
They must be overjoyed.

The agreement worked out really well.
Verena will tell you all about it.

Are you the bad guys' hero
signing autographs?

Hold it! We need to talk.

You're exposing me!

What's going on?

He's still a lunatic.

Things have changed. Times have changed.

-You've changed.
-The law has changed!

-You've changed.
-The agreement terms are good!

Cláudio convinced you.

It's so much bigger than we ever imagined.

Shall we? They can handle each other.

-What about our drink?
-I'm going home now.

OK, go for it.

-Ibrahim said they knew everything.
-Who?

-Janete and João Higino.
-Ibrahim said it?

Yes, in his testimony.
They knew everything.

-Go on...
-Ouch!

-Admit it.
-Admit what?

Admit that I was right.

-Admit it.
-Admit what?

Admit that you're in love.

-Cláudio!
-Keep it down!

Keep it down!

GÓRGONA PUBLISHERS

READ IT
THEY KNEW EVERYTHING

TO: IBRAHIM

SCORE! THE ARTICLE CAME OUT BETTER
THAN IMAGINED.

YOU'LL GET ONE.

Good morning.

THEY KNEW EVERYTHING

Fuck!

Who leaked it?

If it wasn't you, Dimas or me...

Are you sure it wasn't you, Cláudio?

I set up the plea bargain.
What would I gain from it?

It was Ibrahim and his lawyer.

To what purpose?

Taint evidence, dismantle the operation,
fuck the FP.

It's very good!

Right before the elections.

They want to show the operation is biased.

Say we're against them.

There's too big a lead.
They can't turn it around in time.

Can you shut up, Andrea?

This will have a big impact
on the upcoming elections.

Of course it's desperation!
It's a matter of ideology.

They lost their way
and we're going to turn it around.

I love this magazine.

And this magazine loves me.

The tables have turned.

I need to call the editor in chief
and thank him.

Great man!

The leak of the plea bargain
had the effect of a bomb.

Even the opposition candidate,
who had no chances at all, got excited.

Perfect recipe.

He decided to attack

and accused the government of corruption.

Yet, he was also corrupt.

And I, like every Brazilian,
demand exemplary punishment

of everyone involved.

The more he spoke,

the more the government sold the idea
that Jet Wash was politically motivated.

I find it appalling that,
in the middle of an electoral campaign,

this type of fickle disclosure
takes place.

This was exactly what Ibrahim wanted.

To put the Federal Police
under suspicion...

so that the government would have
a reason to bury the investigations.

So, Mr. President...

what do you think of this apartment?

You know I'm not the one
who decides this kind of thing.

Mário Garcez?

The deal has to happen.

Tom Carvalho is here with me. He agrees.

Speed it up!

I will.

But you need to speak to Janete as well.

It's an opportunity to change
the Federal Police Chief.

Leaks are a serious issue.

An opportunity like this
doesn't present itself every day.

Blaming the Federal Police for the leaks

was all that Higino needed
to bury the operation.

You need to make her understand that.

The Wizard knew it.

But so did I.

FEDERAL POLICE

Bingo!

Remember the guard
that Guilhome caught red-handed?

He was the one who supplied
the cell phones to Ibrahim.

Now, guess who supplied
the cell phones to the guard?

Yes. Wise-asses always mess up.

THE ARTICLE CAME OUT
BETTER THAN IMAGINED.

YOU'LL GET ONE.

They ended up being useful, huh?

That proves it wasn't us who leaked
the information to Read It Magazine.

Read it but don't believe it.

Thank you.

The next day, it was in the newspapers:

BETTER THAN IMAGINED

"Squealer leaks content of plea bargain
to sabotage Operation Jet Wash."

The investigation was saved.

Too bad I couldn't say the same
about my marriage...

or my country.

Sometimes, at nightfall...

chills would run down my spine.

As if something sinister
was lurking close by.

It fucking sucks.

Brazil will chew you up.

And from where you least expect it...

you can be sure
nothing good will come out.
