I need to... I need to leave.

I need to get out of here.

I need to get out of here.

Where are you going?

I can't stay here.

They can't find me here. It's my only chance.

Tomás, what are you doing?

Look, don't worry. You'll be fine.

My father, he'll take care of everything.

He... He'll find a way. I...

I have to leave now.

- My father will take care of this. - [Liana] Tomás?

- What am I supposed to do? - Stay!

- Tell me! - Stay!

I'll call my father. Don't worry.

You stay here, okay?

- I have to speak to him. - Tomás?

- Shh! He'll know what to do. Shh! - No.

[tense music building]

[panting]

Stop! Stop the car!

Get out of the car right now!

Hands where I can see them.

[Tomás] Okay, take it easy.

[officer 1] Out of the car. Easy. Slowly. Hands on the hood. That's it.

- Hands on the hood. - [officer 2] Seal off the building.

[officer 1] Hands where I can see them.

- [officer 2] Outside. Nobody gets in. - [officer 3] Move it.

[knocking continues]

[officer 4] Step back.

Step aside, ma'am.

[indistinct radio chatter]

[officer on radio] Suspects have been apprehended at the scene.

- Grandma, what's going on? - Look, it's Dad.

[officer 6] Come on. Move it. Take him downtown.

[officer on radio] Secure the entrance.

Watch your head.

They're my kids.

I need to talk to my sons.

Go ahead.

[Mateus] Mom, what's going on?

Everything's okay. All right? We're all fine. [kisses]

- Liana... - Don't worry. Everything's fine.

You'll spend the night with Granny Olinda. Understood?

- What about Dad? - [Liana] Okay? Dad's fine.

I'll call you later, okay?

[indistinct radio chatter]

[crowd clamoring]

DESPERATE LIES

[man] Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

the defendant is guilty of a despicable crime.

DECEMBER

The individual who sits before you...

1 YEAR LATER

...is a very violent man.

A man who has lost control

and who deserves to be punished for his crime.

This man is dangerous.

As you have heard throughout the proceedings of this trial,

the crime he has committed...

is truly abominable because it was entirely premeditated.

It was cold-blooded murder.

Everything had been carefully planned in advance.

The defendant purchased a handgun, then took shooting lessons.

And without any provocation, he shot

and killed an unarmed, innocent man.

[echoing] The victim had no chance to defend himself.

The circumstances, ladies and gentlemen, were in no way simple.

The man is a cold-blooded killer.

- [man 2] The wife... - [man 1]...to be punished...

[man 2]...was trapped with her assailant in her apartment.

In a life-threatening situation.

Ask yourselves, what would you have done?

As human beings, we have one natural instinct.

We protect our loved ones.

Our families.

And this is exactly what the defendant was forced to do.

[echoing] He is being put on trial for protecting his family.

He was protecting his wife, his two sons.

Ladies and gentlemen, this man is no cold-blooded murderer.

This is a loving husband and a father, not a criminal.

[door buzzes open]

[Tomás sighs]

Are you okay? Would you like to take a break?

No. I want to see this guy put away for life.

In the case of the state versus Tomás Rosenthal,

the jury has reached a unanimous decision.

The court has heard the arguments from the public attorney...

as well as arguments from the defense counsel.

On the charges of premeditated murder against the person of Oscar Oliveira,

The court hereby finds Tomás Rosenthal

guilty as charged.

[audience murmuring]

However, the court also takes into consideration

the mitigating circumstances surrounding the events.

The court acknowledges that the defendant was under extreme psychological duress.

He is hereby sentenced to 12 years in a federal correctional facility.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, thank you for...

That's a minimum sentence! This is a disgrace! This isn't justice!

- [Débora] Calm down. - [César] A killer!

- He murdered my son! - Papa, calm down!

- You're a disgrace! - Sir, I must insist on order in the court.

You will please refrain from any further interruptions.

Otherwise, I will have you removed from this courtroom.

Conditions of sentencing are as follows.

Tomás Rosenthal, you have been found guilty of murder,

and will begin your prison sentence immediately.

The accused will serve his time within his current facility.

The sentence will not be deferred.

He will remain in the custody of the state without parole

for the duration of the term.

By the powers invested in me,

I declare this case closed

and judgment confirmed as of December 5, 2017, at 12:50 p.m.

No, Liana.

It's no use. It's over.

- I have to talk to him. - I know, Liana. I know.

- I have to talk to him. - I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

[Liana crying]

[music fades]

Débora. Débora?

How is César?

How do you think he is?

The man who killed his son got a minimum sentence.

How would you feel?

- It's a terrible tragedy. - For me.

Not for you.

Tomás is alive.

My brother is dead.

I warned Oscar that his obsession with the boys would not end well.

But you were completely obsessed too, Liana.

Tomás killed him because he was jealous.

It wasn't like that at all.

You cheated on Tomás.

And you never forgave Oscar.

I never wanna see your face again.

Let her go.

Both of you are suffering.

[Liana sighs]

[unsettling music playing]

[inmate chuckles]

Fresh meat, comin' in.

[guard 1] Against the wall.

[inmates speaking indistinctly]

[guard 2] Over here.

Stop.

Inside.

[door locks]

Have a seat.

ROSENTHAL SENTENCED TO 12 YEARS IN PRISON

[indistinct chatter]

Did you see Tomás got 12 years?

They say the court went easy on him.

Help me understand.

Oscar was Liana's lover, and he was your lover too.

- Ricardo, just drop it, okay? - How did that work?

It's tough on Tomás.

It's tougher on Oscar!

[Ricardo sighs]

[gulls calling]

- You can leave it there. - Okay.

The boys were looking for some game controllers or something.

In the closet, behind the door.

I'm gonna rent the apartment out.

I won't come back until Tomás is released.

Here. Let me take that.

That's everything.

- [gentle music playing] - [Liana sighs]

- Mm. - Call me when you get there?

Of course.

- Thank you, Isaías. - [Isaías] Take care, Miss Liana.

[Sílvia] Drive carefully.

[Liana] Thank you.

Bye.

[crickets chirping]

Thank you, Nina. I'll go and check on the boys.

They're fine, despite the fact their father is a murderer.

Don't you ever say that again.

Don't you ever call him that again, understood?

[Norma sighs]

You guys still awake?

We're waiting for you.

Mom, when's Dad coming home?

I don't really know.

But it will take quite some time.

Why did Dad kill Oscar?

Well, it's like I told you.

They got into a fight.

A fight about us?

Who told you that?

This had nothing to do with you.

This was because... Oscar was a criminal.

- Do you understand? - I'm sorry, Mom.

I know you told us not to talk to him.

You don't have to be sorry.

Everyone believed he was a nice guy. Even I did.

But he wasn't.

Mom, I'd like to visit Dad.

When can we see him?

I'll ask him next time.

In the meantime, the two of you can write him a letter.

I don't want to write.

[Liana] I know this is hard on you.

But I'm still here.

And I love you so much.

You're young, and it's hard for you to understand all of this.

We'll get through it all together.

As a family.

If we stay together, we'll be stronger.

All for one? Hmm?

- Hmm? - [kids chuckle]

Look what I brought back from the apartment.

[gasps]

- The star globe. - Your star globe.

- [gentle music playing] - [Liana chuckles]

- Is there room for me? - [Mateus] Yeah.

- Ooh. - [Mateus] Ooh, ah.

[Liana chuckles]

- Look. - See that?

[Liana sighs]

The three of us.

Don't want my kids to see me here.

- [Liana] Tomás, they're your children. - I said no, Liana.

I don't agree with that.

But I won't argue with you.

Have you told them about what happened?

No.

I haven't told anyone.

[somber music playing]

I burned the paternity test results.

Nobody knows. Not even Débora.

[somber music peaks, fades]

We'll get our lives back when you're released, I promise.

[chuckles]

[laughs]

Yeah, if I don't go crazy in here first.

I'm here for you, Tomás.

Tomás, we're in this together.

We're a family.

Marcos wrote a letter for you.

[Liana sighs]

And Mateus?

Any letter from Mateus?

You know Mateus is so shy.

And Marcos is emotional.

Both your sons love you.

And so do I.

[melancholic music playing]

[inhales sharply]

[Tomás] "I miss the best dad in the world."

[Marcos laughs]

Look at me! [echoing]

Maybe my luck will run out sometime, but until then...

[sounds distort]

- [music fades] - [birds singing]

[crying softly]

[indistinct chatter]

[Tomás grunts]

[inmate] If you want my advice,

to survive inside, you need to find something to do.

And what exactly can I do in this hellhole?

[inmate] Like to read?

- [Tomás] Mm-hmm. - Try reading this.

It's got lots of interesting stories.

[tense music playing]

[tense music fades]

Mom!

- Mom, how is Dad? - Did he like my letter?

He loved your letter, darling.

He said he misses you both so very much.

What exactly did he say?

He asked you to hang in there and to be strong.

And that before you know it, he'll be out, and we'll be together again.

You mean in 12 years?

And where did you hear that?

Grandpa Jonas told us.

But he also told us that Dad would be released earlier.

Yeah, if he behaves well in prison.

It's true.

The time will fly by if we stop focusing on that.

And remember what I told you?

Nobody needs to know anything about this. All right?

Yeah.

All we have to do is imagine that Dad's away on business.

For a long time.

Well, it's better than saying he's a murderer.

[Marcos] Mateus, wait up. Come back.

Mateus?

Wait up. Come on.

- [somber music playing] - [door closes]

[indistinct chatter]

[inmate] Hey, man. This is for you.

HOLY BIBLE

[Cláudia] Dear Tomás,

I wasn't sure if I should write to you or not.

I really don't want to bother you.

What you are going through is already very difficult.

It's just that I'm finding it hard when I think about what happened to you.

I feel I'm somewhat responsible for all this.

Mmm!

[Cláudia] You see, I had an affair with Oscar.

And I became involved in that whole mess he made.

TEST RESULTS

[Cláudia] I know that he went to see you

with the paternity test results from the lab.

I'm the one who got the genetic samples from Mateus and Marcos.

TEST RESULTS: SAVE ON COMPUTER

[Cláudia] I also committed a crime.

Please forgive me.

I swear to you that I've told nobody what I know about the paternity test.

I know it's hard on you.

I don't expect you to answer me, but I want you to know

that not a day goes by that I don't think about you.

And every day, you're in my prayers.

[gentle acoustic guitar music playing]

EACH STORY IS A STORY

JOHN 7

[Mateus] Let's go! Come on!

[gentle Portuguese tune continues]

RIO DE JANEIRO PENITENTIARY COMPLEX

AND YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.

IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU.

They want us to believe in something that isn't true.

POST-GRADUATE DIPLOMA

[sighs] I've done it.

I've done it!

- Well done! - Time for a toast. Cheers!

- Cheers! - Here's to my wonderful mother.

GENETICS IN PEDIATRICS

[Marcos] Grandma!

[Norma laughs] Hey!

Mm! [laughs]

Hey Gran.

[chuckles] My beautiful grandsons.

- Mm. - [chuckles]

- Leaving already? [chuckling] - It's time for school.

A kiss before you go.

Bye.

See you later, Gran.

[breeze blowing gently]

[takes a deep breath]

[unsettling music playing]

[unsettling music fades]

[Jonas] It's so sad to have to see you in here.

But it's so good to hold you in my arms.

I see you're still reading the Bible.

It comforts me.

I'd never imagined you ending up as the religious one.

[Tomás] I never imagined ending up a murderer.

Life is full of surprises.

Do you have any news on my request for parole?

Uh, I've done what I could.

I filed the request, and now we wait.

- Hmm. - But I'm optimistic.

I believe we can get your sentence reduced.

I have the right.

I've been here for six years.

Working, studying.

You must be patient.

I'm sure we can improve your situation here.

Trust me, Tomás.

I go to see the boys as often as I can.

Look how handsome they are.

They've been studying hard at school.

[man 1] Throw her out on the street? Is that what you want?

What do you expect me to do?

- She's my mother! - [man 2] Juvenal. Relax, brother.

Peace and love.

Remember?

Come with me, please.

Who's that guy?

Quevedo.

He killed two people driving under the influence.

- Ah... - He's a loser, just like me.

Or then maybe... he's a saint.

He keeps order in here.

He and I get on well.

You know what?

In prison, a lawyer can be very important.

Someone who knows the law.

Outside, you are also someone important.

When you're out, you don't have to just take care of the small cases.

You can do whatever you want.

Tomás, it belongs to you. To our family.

You understand? Your family.

What about Mateus?

Has he decided what he wants to do?

I'm not sure about Mateus.

But Marcos, he knows what he wants.

He wants to study law, and I'm so proud of him.

Another lawyer in the Rosenthal family.

Visiting hours are over.

- What? Nobody told me that. - I'm telling you.

Time to go. You should leave. I have things to do.

[sighs] But, Tomás...

No. No need, thank you.

[Quevedo] Welcome, my son.

Come join us and pray together.

[birds singing]

This is Gran's last resting place.

With her favorite plants.

[Liana sighs]

[kisses]

Your Gran and I fought a lot, but I really loved her.

She'll be with us forever now.

Here in her garden.

Time heals everything they say.

Every time we come and sit in the garden, we'll remember Grandma Norma.

I mean, we'll remember the absence of Grandma.

- [chuckles sadly] - [Liana sighs]

Remembering those who are absent is the motto of this house.

[Mateus] Mm-hmm.

[sighs]

How are things at the new school?

Hmm?

It's kinda strange.

And... pretty boring, as usual.

They always ask the same questions.

Where are you from? Why did you change schools?

I'm tired of it.

But it has a nice soccer pitch.

Maybe we can start playing again.

In honor of Gran...

She'd like that.

Yeah. She was your biggest fan.

I'm not so sure.

I'm done with soccer.

[somber music playing]

The act of wanting to be... exactly that which we are supposed to be

will bring us far beyond.

What do you think?

- Leminski's cool! - [teacher] What is Leminski trying to say?

[students clamoring]

[teacher] That's exactly the point he's making.

This is the challenge for you this year.

You need to go beyond.

To go beyond, to explore, to discover exactly who you are.

And naturally, I'm here to help you discover your path.

And for that reason,

I've invited some friends and some of your parents to come to our class.

I've asked them to come here and to talk to you and to discuss

about their careers and job opportunities.

- My parents are down. - Yeah.

Sorry, my parents can't make it. They actually have a life.

- Yeah, taking care of you, Robson. - Hey. Come on. Quiet. Thank you, Júlia.

To get things started,

I decided to invite our first guest myself.

A way to welcome your new classmates.

Actually, I jumped at this opportunity.

I've invited their mother as our first speaker. 'Kay?

But why should their mother be the first guest?

[Júlia] What the hell? Why not? They're new.

Chill out, Júlia.

Enough. Quiet. Please. Enough!

Let me speak. Okay?

Liana works in a profession that I have a lot of respect for.

It's also a profession we know little about.

Liana is an occupational therapist.

So Robson, can you tell me what that is? What do you know about it?

- It won't make me rich. - [students laugh]

[teacher] Well, that's something you'll have to ask her.

Okay. Listen up, people.

Liana... she's a... an amazing professional.

And the reason I know this is because she takes care of my daughter.

So you see, I have some knowledge on the subject.

Back to Leminski!

And back to beyond!

Identity... Remember what we said?

It comes from the Latin "identitas."

Which means a person's unique characteristics.

- [guy 1] Come on, guys. - [guy 2] Close him down! Tackle him!

[guy 3] Well done! You know how to play!

- [guy 1] Yeah. Here. - [guy 3] Go!

[guy 1] Pass it. Over there!

Nice.

[guy 2] Watch him! On the wing! Close him down. Don't let him pass.

[guy 3] Damn it!

[guy 1] Pass. Over here.

I got this. With me.

- [guy 4] Dude. Over here. - [guy 5] Yeah, you got it!

- [whistle blows] - [guy 5] I'm open.

[guy 6] Come on, guys. How we doing? This kid's good.

- [girl] See that? - [Júlia] What?

The new guys are always together.

[Júlia] Normal. They're twins.

- Seriously? - Seriously.

[girl] They don't look like each other at all.

Did you notice? [laughing] One's cuter than the other one.

I knew you'd say that. [laughs]

- He is cute. - I can read you.

Don't pretend you didn't notice. Hey!

Hey, Pâmela. Don't leave. I'll score a goal for you.

- Let's see. - What are you talking about?

- You're not even playing. Be serious. - Keep this for me, okay?

[clicks tongue] I swear, this guy's a complete fake. He's ridiculous.

- Leave my cousin in peace. He's a child. - I'm just sayin'.

- Leave him be. - Whatever. He's a hypocrite.

[whistle blows]

- [guy 1] Right. - [guy 2] That's it.

[players speaking indistinctly]

- [guy 3] Over here! - [Mateus grunts]

- Hey! What the hell is that? - [Marcos] What was that?

Relax, man. It was an accident. No harm.

- Come on, let's go. - An accident? That's bullshit.

- Bullshit? Are you calling me a liar? - You're the one who started!

- [Robson] Shut it or play on. - [Mateus] Give me the ball.

- Hey, man. Give me your shirt? - [Mateus] Well, give me the damn ball.

[Marcos] Ready?

- You're playing? - Yeah. Taking over for Giovani.

[laughs] That's it, man!

- Play ball! - [guy 1] Are you serious?

- [guy 2] Come on. - [guy 3] What are you doing?

[indistinct chatter]

[upbeat music playing]

[players shouting indistinctly]

Let's go, come on!

[Pâmela] They're pretty good.

- [Robson] Tackle! Stop him! - Well played!

Well done! [laughs]

- Go, new boys! - [cheering] New boys, new boys!

[girls] New boys, new boys, new boys!

- Pass! - Yours!

[Pâmela] Yes! Yeah! [exclaims]

[girls cheering] New boys! New boys! New boys!

[Robson] Pass, pass, pass! Quick!

Me! Give me the ball. Give it here.

[Marcos] Mateus!

- [Robson] What? - [Marcos] Shoot!

- [Robson] You guys have to... - [cheering]

[both exclaim]

Good goal, bro.

Damn! That was cool.

I missed playing with you, the famous lefty.

- We're back. - Not too shabby, the new boys.

- [Marcos] Thanks for the shirt. - Mm. Thank you, old girl.

- Hi there. I'm Mateus. - Júlia.

- My brother. - [Marcos] Hey.

Hi, I'm Pâmela. Hi.

- Nice to meet you. - [Júlia] You were great.

It's Marcos who's the real star.

Both of you were great. Playing off each other like brothers

- Marcos scored a great goal. - Sure, but you made the assist.

- Team effort. - Mm!

- Team players. - And humble too.

- Yeah. We'll see about that. - [all laugh]

[indistinct chatter]

- [Quevedo] Tomás. - [Tomás] Hmm?

[clears throat]

[Liana] Forgive me.

[echoing] Tomás! Oh! Please.

[Tomás] Are you trying to ruin my life?

[Liana] Am I too heavy for you?

Without you, I am nothing! You won't let me visit you anymore?

I won't accept that.

Tomás! The other baby!

Forgive me.

[gentle instrumental music playing]

[Liana] Please.

[scoffs]

[softly] I'm not God, Liana.

[music peaks, fades]

[sighs]

[exhales]

[birds singing]

[school bell rings]

[Liana] The main objective in occupational therapy

is to grow and strengthen the individual's autonomy,

so that despite their own limitations,

they can enjoy a full life and grow up to be completely independent.

For example, for a person to be able to do regular everyday tasks

or to accomplish what they dream of doing.

Many of the people I work with have sensory

or cognitive psychomotricity difficulties.

What I prefer to say is that we're all unique.

We all have our own stories.

Each of us has our own past, and each of us has our own difficulties.

And within each unique context, we try to live our lives as best we can.

This requires a lot of discipline

and consistency.

The patients need discipline to do the exercises...

Your mom is really amazing. Seriously.

Those two guys keep staring at Júlia.

Which two?

- [Robson] The new guys. - [Pâmela] Not interested.

They're nice.

- They're morons. - Ugh. Chill out.

What's important, I believe, is that you like being with people.

I've met so many fabulous people.

And they inspire me to live my life as best I can.

I hope you enjoyed my presentation.

If you have any questions or would like to talk,

come and see me.

[class cheers]

- [guy] You did great! - [girl] Thank you.

I wanted to say I really loved your presentation, and...

Well, to be honest, I've always wanted to work in the medical field,

and I think this might suit me.

I'm really happy to hear that. Thank you.

It was really interesting.

- Thank you. - Honestly.

- It was really good. Thank you. - Thanks.

- You're very kind. - If I want to learn more, what can I do?

You can come see me at my office.

- For real? - I'd be delighted.

- [guy] That's generous. - We'd love to.

Really?

Dante can put you in contact with me.

- You won't forget? - Perfect.

Of course. But you do realize that you can't all turn up

on her doorstep at the same time.

- [girl] We won't. - [guy] We'll all turn up. Really early.

- Thank you so much. - It was amazing. Thank you.

- Thank you. - [Dante] Okay?

Back to your seats, everyone.

- [girl] No worries. - [guy] That was so interesting.

[Mateus] Hey, I saw you were putting up flyers about Slam?

[Júlia] Mm-hmm.

- That's cool. I really like spoken poetry. - Are you serious?

You should join us.

- We need more people in the club... - You know, he's the poet in the family.

- No! Come on. - For real?

- I'm no poet. Not me. - Yes, you are, bro.

- Don't be modest. - Well, it's just that sometimes...

I don't always get it.

You don't have to get it. You just gotta express it.

Okay? Slam is about life, and the only way to know

if you're good at it is if you slam.

So, should I do it?

Yeah, of course.

Now that the boys are all grown up...

I find that... I don't go out that much.

- Rarely. - [Dante] Hmm.

I was sorry to hear about your mother.

[Liana] Thanks. It was hard.

I was going to eat. Don't let me interrupt your work.

That's fine. Are you hungry?

If you're hungry, I know this really nice little restaurant.

- It's not very far from here. - I'm sorry, I can't.

- That's okay. Sorry, I didn't mean to... - No, I'm sorry.

I didn't wanna impose.

It's all right. We can try when my husband gets back.

- He's... traveling abroad. For his work. - Yeah, sure.

- He'd love to meet you. - Sounds good.

Liana, thanks for coming.

- So, we'll see each other again, I'm sure. - You're welcome.

Of course.

- And, uh... I had a great time. - You were...

- I really did. - Incredible.

[somber music playing]

[heavy, distorted breathing]

[footsteps echoing]

[Liana, echoing] Are you saying I can't come here?

That I can't visit?

That I can't see you anymore?

[Tomás] I feel embarrassed every time you come to see me.

It's embarrassing for you too.

[Liana] No.

Not at all.

Tomás... why are you doing this?

I won't accept this.

How will I know how you are?

- How will you know about our sons? - We can write letters.

Whatever time I have left to spend in this hellhole,

I'll spend it alone.

What?

And what about me?

[Tomás] You'll be alone too.

Just like me.

- [Robson] We should go to the waterfalls. - It's near where you live, right?

- Have you guys been? - A long time ago.

We used to go there all the time when we were kids.

And... I almost drowned there.

- What? - What do you mean drowned?

- At the waterfalls? - Yeah, it was when we were kids.

- Mm. Gotcha. - Dad jumped in and saved you.

- Uh-huh. - Bullshit.

- My foot was stuck. - Bring Daddy. He can take care of you.

- Hey. Drop it, okay? - What's your problem?

- [Robson] I'm not your babysitter. - Our father doesn't live in Brazil.

- He's a lawyer, he works abroad. - [Júlia] Where does he live?

- In... Africa. - In Asia.

- So, Asia or Africa? - Don't you guys know?

- No. He's in Asia. Marcos was right. - That's nice.

- What about the falls? - When do you wanna go?

- Right now! - Are you guys down?

[birds singing]

[door opens]

Hey! [giggles]

Oh!

- Mm! - [Liana chuckles]

I missed you so much.

[Liana] Me too.

This whole thing with Tomás only seeing Dad,

it's not right.

Once I took the boys to go and see him.

They insisted on going, and they pressured me into visiting him.

He didn't want to see them.

And he didn't wanna see me the last time I went.

I don't understand.

[needle buzzing]

[Liana] I don't know what he wants. I don't know what he feels.

I'm not talking about me.

I'm worried about him.

And his children.

I don't understand.

The only reason I can think of is that Tomás must be suffering terribly.

I don't know.

When I read his letters,

I have the impression he's become so distant.

I don't know him anymore.

[needle buzzing]

[Sílvia] Dad says that inside, he's very well respected.

That he's become some kind of leader.

A leader?

He's always quoting from the Bible in his letters.

Scripture.

He talks about faith and truth.

And yet, for so many years, all we have ever done is tell lies.

We agreed to lie in order to have a life with our children.

Our kids lie about their father.

Our lives are built on lies.

[Sílvia] Don't you see what's happening?

You're alone. You're isolated.

I know.

But I do all this to protect the kids, Sílvia.

I do all this because I don't want them to suffer.

I don't want them to learn the truth.

What use is the truth to them?

What good is it if it just makes them suffer?

[needle buzzing]

[tense music playing]

THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE

[Liana] These lies we're living have kept us perfectly happy until now.

As far as I'm concerned, there's no reason to stop. [echoing]
