[romantic music playing on stereo]

- [Vicente] Can I be completely honest? - [Sílvia] Sure.

I've been madly in love with you ever since med school.

It's true and if you agreed, I'd marry you.

- [laughing] - Right now.

My turn then.

Confession time, okay?

[Vicente] Mm.

I'm not the kind of person that... Mm...

...that believes in the institution of marriage.

- Relationships evolve. - Mm.

You know?

I really believe that with time major differences appear

and then everything turns to shit.

Ah. Differences don't have to be a problem.

Mm.

- You should know, you're divorced. - Ah. I was way too young, Sílvia.

Our relationship was doomed to fail.

All I ever did was work.

It was a really difficult time for my ex.

Ha!

- Work, work, work. That's all we ever do. - Mm.

There's no time for Christmas, no time for birthdays,

for vacation, nothing.

Our marriage became cold, and we drifted apart.

- It happens. - Mm-hm.

I understand.

I have my life as a doctor.

And my life as a mother to Inácio.

- I'm a very confused woman, Vicente. - Ah...

[laughing]

Well, that's just perfect, because I love confusion.

- Oh yeah? Really? - Yes.

- Really. - [rock music fading in]

[teacher] Everyone, give a round applause for Inácio!

- That was amazing, Inácio. - Thank you.

And now, let's hear it for our next act, the great Leo!

- [cymbals clanging rhythmically] - [all cheering]

- Break a leg, Leo! - Come on! Make some noise!

[woman] That's it!

[sounds distorting]

- [loud thud] - [Inácio grunting]

[crowd gasping]

[breathing unsteadily]

[woman's voice echoing] 'Kay? Take it easy. Relax Inácio.

It's okay. I'm fine.

I just tripped.

- [microphone feedback] - [straining]

Am I bleeding?

[phone buzzing]

[romantic music playing on stereo]

It's Inácio's school. Hello?

Speaking.

He what?

Where is he now?

I'm on my way.

Inácio hurt himself.

- He's at the emergency ward. - I'll get dressed.

[tense music playing]

[phone buzzing]

DESPERATE LIES

[music fades out]

[tapping]

Tomás.

Tomás!

[sobs] Give me my son.

- My son. - [panting]

Tomás!

Give me my son, please!

- [Marcos screaming] - [gasping]

[Tomás] He's breathing. He's breathing.

- There you go. - [sobbing]

[Tomás] That's it.

- [shushing]. - I want to hold him. Give him to me.

- I should take him inside. - [Marcos crying]

Tomás!

Give me my son.

[angrily] Give me my son!

[Marcos continues crying]

[Liana shushing]

[Tomás panting]

[Marcos coughing]

[Tomás grunts]

[Marcos gurgling]

[Mateus crying in distance]

They're in good health.

Both of them.

[distant crying continues]

[baby whimpering]

[Liana] Where you going?

[Tomás] You knew this would happen, didn't you?

What?

You knew you'd give birth here.

- How would I know that? - [Tomás exhales]

You brought both bags with you.

That wasn't a coincidence.

Your water broke and you didn't tell me.

I didn't agree to this.

What were you thinking?

We agreed on Rio with Sílvia. Not here.

- What if something had happened to my son? - [baby whimpering]

What if something had happened to you?

Nothing happened.

[Tomás] It could have gone terribly wrong.

Take Mateus, please.

Come here, Mateus.

- That's it. [shushing] - [Mateus cooing]

- [Liana exhales] - [Marcos cooing]

That's it. That's my boy.

Wow! I've never done so many tests before.

Concussions can be very serious, Inácio.

Inácio's a big boy. These things happen all the time.

Eventually, all your scars become your trophies.

If you've no scars, you've never lived.

Ha ha. Yeah. Very funny, you guys.

- Nice one. - Thanks.

- That's enough nonsense for tonight. - All the tests were negative. He's fine.

- [Inácio yawning] - Tell me, Inácio, what happened?

How did you hurt yourself?

[Inácio] After the show, I was walking offstage...

[Tomás on voicemail] Sílvia! Call me back. It's urgent!

- [voicemail beeping] - Sílvia, we're at the country house.

- Call me back! - [voicemail beeping]

Sílvia, we need you!

Sílvia, call me back, please.

- [voicemail beeping] - Liana's water broke!

- Vicente? - Yes?

- They went to the country house. - [buttons tapping]

Tomás?

[whispering] Get some rest.

I'm okay.

Sílvia will tell you if you're okay. She's on her way.

I'm fine, Tomás. Stop worrying.

The babies are fine.

Once Sílvia says you're okay,

I'll take that one to his parents.

[breathes deeply] They'll be so happy.

[somber music playing]

[baby whimpers]

[Tomás shushing]

[birds twittering]

[car approaching]

[engine cuts out]

- [Tomás] Sílvia, I swear I didn't know. - Where's Liana?

She's inside. She didn't tell me anything.

[Sílvia] And the children?

She had contractions, her water broke...

This is crazy. You should have gone to the hospital.

[Tomás] She decided to give birth here.

[Sílvia] You were very lucky, Liana. What you did was madness.

You should have been at the hospital. You know that.

- I tried to call you all night. - I had an eventful night too.

Inácio was rushed to the ER, and I forgot my phone at home.

- Mm. - I need you to rest.

So I am not gonna get angry.

Last night wasn't easy.

[baby cooing]

Thank you, Sílvia.

Judging by his size, I'd say this is Mateus.

And this is Marcos.

Marcos?

[ominous stinger]

[Sílvia] I'm worried about his temperature. He's a little cold.

Liana, take him in your arms.

Keep him close to your body.

It will keep him warm.

That's it. That'll help. Hold him close.

- Is he all right? - He's fine. Just keep him warm.

[Marcos coughing]

Sílvia, did you know that Liana had named the other baby Marcos?

What do you mean? What's wrong with giving him a name?

[scoffs]

We're giving that baby away. It's been agreed.

- And you, stop hiding stuff from me. - Me?

Hiding stuff?

You're the man who brought a woman,

who is 37-weeks pregnant, to a house way up in the mountains.

I didn't know! She tricked me!

You know how she is. She's headstrong. She always does things her own way.

My wife's not well!

[Sílvia] And what about you?

Are you okay?

[scoffs] Me? I'm perfect.

I almost had a heart attack,

but I'm fine.

The birth of your child can be extremely stressful.

It wouldn't be surprising if you changed your mind.

So whatever you decide, I'm here to help you guys.

Well, then don't interfere.

- [somber music playing] - As my sister, you take my side.

No one's gonna change their mind.

[sighs]

[dance music playing]

POLICE

Hey, Dantas, turn off the damn sound.

[Dantas] Hey, DJ! Turn that shit off!

What's goin' on here?

- Behind the bar. Check it out. - [Oscar] Hey, hang on a minute!

- Good evening, I'm the owner. - Police.

We have a warrant to search the premises.

Guys? Move it.

[officer] Hey, Nelson?

This way.

[officer] Take a look.

Look what I found?

That's not mine. No.

Oh, no?

And what about all this?

Where did all that come from?

Cut me some slack. Yeah, it's mine.

It's just for recreational purposes.

- Explain that to my boss. Arrest him! - No.

- Please, come on. Hey, hey! Easy! - Cuff him.

- Listen, guys. Whoa! Wait! - Let's go.

Can I at least call my dad? I have...

No problem. Why don't you call him, tell him to drop by the station?

- Hey, easy! - Move it.

[somber music playing]

[melancholy music playing]

[Marcos crying]

[Marcos continues crying]

[door closing]

[melancholy music fades]

[doorbell ringing]

[breathing deeply]

Tomás?

Tomás?

Where's Marcos?

The room looks really beautiful.

God bless you.

I'll be off.

Let me walk you out.

[Tomás] Huh.

- [Sergio] This makes us so happy. - Uh-huh.

- We've been waiting for so long, you see? - Mm.

- I wish you all the best. - Thank you.

- [Marcos crying] - God bless you.

[Betina] Sergio?

Sergio?

Marcos needs to be fed.

- [Marcos continues crying] - [ominous music playing]

[Mateus crying softly]

[ominous music fades out]

Mateus has colic.

My breasts really hurt.

Try to nurse him. It should help.

[Tomás] Liana?

Are you okay?

Do me a favor, Tomás, and get some hot water.

Go to the kitchen, and put some warm water in the thermos.

- I'll make a warm pad. - Hm.

Thanks.

It's not working, Sílvia.

Let me take Mateus. Practice the massage I showed you.

Relax. Go and have a nice warm shower.

The warm water usually helps to stimulate the milk.

Mm.

[Mateus whimpering]

[crying softly]

[breathing deeply]

Inspector, I admit it, I take drugs. But I swear, I'm not a dealer.

Friends come to my club, they wanna have fun, I give them drugs.

- Is he going to prison? - For the moment.

This is crazy.

He was caught red-handed in possession of narcotics with intent to resell.

- You sell drugs? - I'm not a dealer! I don't sell drugs!

- Shut it, Oscar! - Inspector, you have to believe him.

Inspector, I will pay whatever it costs for bail.

I'm afraid bail is not permitted for drug trafficking offenses.

No. Come on. Please, Inspector. You've got to believe me.

No. Inspector!

Dad, please talk to her.

Please, Inspector. Let's talk this over. Inspector!

Fuck.

Hey.

Here. Have some water.

It may be awhile.

Hey...

What's going to happen to my brother?

For the moment, he'll be transferred to a detention center.

- To a detention center? - Yeah.

He doesn't deal drugs. He's just an idiot.

My dad will never get over this.

I'm really sorry. I was just doin' my job.

It wasn't personal.

If you need anything, let me know.

I have to go.

Thanks.

[Tomás sighing]

Mateus is sleeping now.

Liana's exhausted.

It's hard taking care of twins.

Only one.

Tomás.

Liana is really upset.

Can't you at least try to be a bit more understanding?

[sighs] Understanding?

You think this is easy for me?

Anyone think about me?

I think you've been very brave, Tomás.

So why are you looking at me like that?

Huh?

Like you're gonna lecture me?

Fuck's sake.

Giving birth in the middle of nowhere.

It's crazy!

Seeing both of them...

born in a fucking barn!

I know this is very difficult.

For both of you.

I have a son...

[sighs]

My first child...

and I can't be happy.

[Sílvia] Stop. Tomás, no.

Stop. Give that to me.

- It's my last one. - You've had enough to drink for tonight.

Your wife needs you.

And she needs you sober. Mm?

Tomás...

- When are you coming to Rio? - Hm.

Listen, I have to get back to work tomorrow.

I left Inácio with Vicente but he has to get back to work too.

Are you still seeing your doctor friend?

Yes, I am.

Don't worry. You can trust him. He won't say anything.

[sighs deeply]

[Sílvia] Have you told Mom and Dad?

No. I'll give them a call when I'm better.

Tomás.

This situation...

is also quite complicated for me.

I just hope that this whole thing will end well for everyone.

[Mateus cooing]

Tomás?

[relieved sigh]

Good morning.

Morning.

- Hm. - Sílvia gone yet?

Yeah.

She sends her love.

He's beautiful.

This little guy's feeling better today. You were asleep.

I didn't wanna disturb you.

- [groans] - Here.

My breasts are still hurting.

It feels like there are stones inside.

[Tomás] Sílvia said the feeling should improve.

How did it go?

It went well.

They were...

very happy.

[Tomás clears throat]

Their life is just beginning.

- [phone ringing] - Ah.

Our lives too, right?

It's my father.

I'll take it in the other room. Call me if you need me.

Okay?

[phone continues ringing]

- [wind gusting] - [hummingbird humming]

[pensive music playing]

- Now? But Dad, the thing is... - [music fades out]

I'm not in Rio at the moment.

What's going on?

Okay.

But right now,

I can't go to the police station.

- Just tell me what's wrong? - Oscar, César's son, he's been arrested.

So what?

You know criminal law isn't our specialty.

[Jonas] Tomás, César is one of our most important clients.

I've told you what I plan to do.

If anything happens, I'll keep you informed, okay?

Listen, Dad.

Don't get involved with these people, okay?

- It's drug trafficking. - How do you know that?

I never mentioned drug trafficking?

Uh. It doesn't matter, Dad. I told you already.

If you continue to work with these people, I will no longer work for the company.

- Understood? - Okay, okay, okay, I get it.

Do you have a TV?

It's on the news now.

[reporter] The famous nightclub has been shut down, and its owner arrested,

after ecstasy was found on the premises.

Pivô was a hugely successful nightclub,

bustling night after night with young clients.

Police received an anonymous tip-off about the drugs.

No further information is available.

Who's the rat?

- I don't know. What do you think? - Who? Kiko? Who else?

What about the girl from the other night?

- Patricia? - Yeah.

- She must be pissed with me. - You think so?

- She's not the only one. - That's precisely why I'm calling.

I need a fuckin' lawyer!

- This stress is not good for his heart. - Forget him! I spoke to the bastard!

I told you that coward Rosenthal refused to take the case.

Neither the father nor the son.

- Does Tomás know about what happened? - Stop.

Débora, does Tomás know anything about me and about Liana?

Listen to me Oscar, Liana and Tomás have nothing to...

Does he know anything about it?

Hey! Don't you touch me!

- He doesn't know! - You swear?

- He knows nothing. - Swear?

[César] Those Rosenthals,

do they really think they're the only lawyers in the city?

I got you a new one.

You're gonna be fine, okay?

The transfer to the detention center has been authorized.

[Débora] What? Now?

[inspector] Oscar, come with us please.

Off you go.

Can I hug him?

- I'll come visit. - Yeah.

You'll be okay.

All right?

- Yeah. - Mm.

Bye, Dad.

Hello?

[Inácio] Hey, Mom! I'm in here.

Hey! [chuckles]

Are you okay?

Oh, sweetie, I got a call from your teacher today.

She was so nice.

She said that that song you did at the show was amazing.

It was hilarious.

At the end of the song, I tripped on stage.

Ah, Inácio. Don't say that.

I'm sure that's not why she liked your song.

I know. I'm just kidding around.

You and Liana are so different.

In what way?

I mean, she doesn't talk to me like I'm some kind of helpless child.

I do not treat you like a child.

Come on, Mom. Be honest. I'm not a kid anymore.

It felt so good not to have Nina.

I don't need a babysitter.

And tonight, I'm gonna sleep over at Pedro's, all right?

[gentle guitar music playing]

Oh, yeah. I really liked your boyfriend.

What boyfriend? What are you talk...

Vicente is a good friend.

I like your good friend, then.

Thank you, guys. As soon as I hear anything, I will let you know.

- Thank you, Débora. - Thanks, I appreciate it.

[Débora sniffs]

PIVÔ NIGHTCLUB

[Débora] Patricia?

Hey.

Hi.

Are you okay? What are you doing here?

The only reason I'm here is to make sure that asshole's club gets shut down.

- Ah, you're the one who ratted on Oscar? - I didn't have to.

He took care of that by himself.

Why so much hate for my brother?

- You're Oscar's sister? - Yes.

It must be hard to have a brother like that.

I just went through the worst experience in my life,

all thanks to that scumbag brother of yours.

And that's not all.

How convenient that just that night, the cameras weren't working.

Coincidence you think?

I'm really sorry about what you went through,

but you are making things up.

I don't have to make things up.

It's so easy for people like you.

You hire a lawyer, and he takes care of your mess.

What about me?

You took everything.

I can't even look at myself in the mirror because of your family.

I just need you to get the fuck outta my life.

And I hope that no-good brother of yours rots in jail. It's what he deserves.

[Vicente] So...

I hope you don't mind,

I borrowed one of your sweaters because I don't have any pajamas.

You don't have any pajamas at my place because when you are here,

you're supposed to be naked.

Well, if that's the case, then why can't I stay the night?

You can always sleep with me, but you can't sleep over.

To each his own house.

- Okay, so what about weekends? - We can do that.

Oh yeah? And what about... holidays?

- Is that all right? - You don't know when to stop, do you?

- I won't stop until I have it all. - [scoffs]

I like you.

I like you a lot.

But we have to agree on how we do this.

We can negotiate a holiday here and there.

Agreed but I'm cold.

- So, what about my pajamas, sweetheart? - What?

What is it with you and your pajamas?

You're trying to get inside my wardrobe and I won't have it.

A small shelf?

[laughs] I'll give you a shelf, here in the bathroom.

A small teeny-weeny shelf for essentials.

- Essentials? - Uh-huh.

- Toothbrush? Razor? - No. There'll be no razors in this house.

- So what is essential then? - Hm.

- What do I really need? - Hm...

A few kisses.

- A few more kisses. - [moaning]

Never-ending kisses.

Maybe a few French kisses...

Ahh. Only if you agree, of course.

[whispering] Mateus!

Mateus, it's your papa.

My son, Mateus.

Can you hear me, Mateus?

Don't wake him, Tomás. He didn't sleep well last night.

[Tomás] Don't you think he looks a bit like my father?

The old man will have quite the shock when he learns he has a grandson!

- Mm! Did he call you? - Yeah, earlier.

But I didn't mention anything about Mateus. I know how he'll react.

If I tell him, he'll be over here straight away with Olinda.

And I know you don't want that.

Mm.

He called to talk to me about César's son,

that scumbag Oscar.

Did you hear?

He's been arrested.

Arrested?

Yeah. Justice wasn't denied. It was only delayed.

Débora will be devastated.

She'll get used to being without him. What can we do?

She'll get used to it.

Just like you did with losing Lucas. Hm?

What we went through was crazy.

But that's behind us now.

From now on, we're going to have a beautiful life.

A perfect life!

The life we've dreamed of! [chuckles]

We have a son, my love!

A son!

It's no longer a dream, it's a reality!

I wanna forget about all that's happened, and take our son to see the world!

I can teach him to ride a bike,

and we can go cycling all together.

[slamming loudly]

[tires screeching]

You didn't pick up your little brother?

[Liana] Wait a little longer. I have class.

Sure, don't worry. I'll get a ride with Oscar.

[snorting, exhaling]

[Oscar] Yeah! Faster!

- [Norma] I asked you to pick him up. - It wasn't my fault.

[tires screeching]

- [horn honking] - Watch out! Shit! Fuck! Watch out!

[Mateus crying]

[melancholy music playing]

[Mateus continues crying]

[Tomás] Liana? Are you hungry?

I was thinking I could make us some pasta for lunch.

Liana?

Liana?

[ominous music playing]

[phone ringing]

[phone continues ringing]

[sighs] Fuck!

[Mateus cooing]

[doorbell ringing]

[doorbell ringing]

[Mateus coos]

[breathing deeply]

Betina?

Sergio?

[Mateus crying softly]

[doorbell ringing]

Betina?

[somber music playing]

Betina?

Sergio?

[Mateus crying]

[Marcos crying in distance]

[crying loudly]

[Sergio] I think she's gone, Betina.

Okay.

Betina!

Sergio!

Sergio!

Open!

Open the door please!

Betina, open the door!

Let me in!

Let me in, or I'm gonna call the police!

No.

Relax.

Open the door, Betina!

[Marcos continues crying]

I...

wanted...

I wanted to see Marcos. I need to see Marcos.

Because...

Mateus...

He really misses his brother.

I'm begging you.

[Mateus coos]

[door unlocks]

[music fades out]

[phone ringing]

Hello? Who is it?

Tomás? It's Nelson.

I just wanted to let you know that everything went well.

Hm. Yeah, thanks.

I saw it on TV.

Once we caught him red-handed, he was screwed.

He had a whole fuckin' stash of ecstasy at the club.

[Tomás] Good.

And my boss, she didn't go easy on him.

Good.

The son-of-a-bitch deserves it.

[Nelson] So, do you want to know any of the details or what?

No. No need for any details.

By the way, I made the deposit to your account today.

Thanks.

[call disconnects]

You never said you had twins.

Why did you choose to give away one of the children?

Tomás...

He believes that...

he cannot raise two children.

We will give Marcos a good life.

I promise you that.

[babies cooing]

[Sergio] You should take your son and go home now.

I can see that they miss each other.

Don't you see it?

- I'll call your husband to bring you home. - No!

[tense music playing]

We don't wanna know the reasons why you decided to give up your child.

It's none of our business.

But your husband came here and he gave the child to us.

He's ours now.

- He's mine. - [music fades out]

- He's my son. - [Betina] How can you say that?

You asked me to take Marcos.

Get out of my house.

Leave!

[Marcos crying softly]

I can see he's hungry.

[Betina shushing]

I'll get the bottle.

Shh...

[melancholy music playing]

My milk is for him, Betina.

You didn't want your baby.

We have prepared a home for Marcos.

I want my baby back right now.

How dare you play with people's emotions like that, Liana.

[crying] How can you be so cruel?

He's my son, Betina.

He's mine.

[Betina] You're the one who came to us.

We didn't ask for anything!

- You gave us Marcos! [sobbing] - [dark music playing]

You can't do this to us, Liana!

No!

We love Marcos so much.

He's my baby.

[Sergio] Betina, there's no point in fighting this.

- [Betina sobbing] - The law will always be on her side.

- [Betina] No. - [Sergio] I know it hurts.

[Betina] No.

[music fades out]

- Hey. - Hi, Sílvia. It's me again.

Did Liana call you?

No, and I've had no sign of her.

Calm down, Tomás. I'm sure she'll be back soon.

Where could she be?

What if something happened to her? Should I call the police?

There's no need for the police. I'm sure she's fine.

Breathe, Tomás.

[sighs] Sílvia, she's disappeared with Mateus. She's taken my son!

Don't worry, I'm sure she'll be back soon.

Hang on, she's here. She just arrived. I'll call you later, okay?

[Sílvia] Okay.

[engine turning off]

Where have you been?

To find my son.

[Tomás sighs]

[shushing]

I'm keeping both of them, Tomás.

Why did you do this, Liana?

Because these are my sons.

Because they're brothers.
