Original subtitles

- [Ana] I don't like him that much. - [Dante] What?

When did you become so picky?

- He just arrived, didn't he? - [phone chimes]

SEPTEMBER

Ana, I have to take this. It's important, okay?

Sure.

1 YEAR EARLIER

Hello?

Hmm? Yeah, I sent it.

- I swear. - [Ana grunts]

Yeah, that's it. Perfect.

I really loved the first part.

My concern is the second part. Yeah.

When we start to compare both authors.

Well, I find it weaker.

If it's a comparative study between both authors,

then we need to clarify what differentiates them.

Yeah, exactly.

No, but I mean... I understand what you're saying.

Yeah. You're right, but identifying the similarities between them,

that's the hard part.

We really need to develop this idea.

- [Ana] Dad! - Ana? Baby!

- [glass shatters] - Ana! Ana! Ana?

[gasps] Oh my God. What happened? [yelps]

[somber music playing]

[Dante, softly] Hey, sweetheart.

- You're gonna be fine. - [moans]

Everything will be all right.

Daddy's here, okay? Hey.

- Don't worry. - [Ana sniffles]

Just a minute. I'll be back, okay?

Relax. Get some rest.

[monitor beeping]

The flexor tendons and the median nerves are seriously damaged.

We'll have to operate immediately, but she's in good hands.

We'll take good care of her.

However, the mobility and sensitivity in her hand will be affected.

She'll need to start seeing a physical therapist.

I'll get you some names.

[Dante sighs]

DESPERATE LIES

[somber music fades slowly]

Have I changed that much?

No.

I'm surprised.

[Tomás] I guess I've aged.

And I've lost a bit of weight.

But I'm alive.

[Liana sighs]

[tender music playing]

I'm a free man.

- [Liana] Mm. - Aren't you happy? Hmm?

[Liana sighs, exclaims]

I'm so happy you're here.

Why didn't you tell me?

You never answered any of my letters.

Why?

I wanted to surprise you.

[Tomás breathing heavily]

[Liana] Tomás.

You just missed the boys. They've just left.

[music fades]

I'll call them.

They'll be so happy to see you.

Wait a second. Wait!

First, we need to talk.

I've missed you, Liana.

[Liana] Hmm.

All these years, I've been thinking about you.

About you and me...

together. [chuckles softly]

Hmm?

[Liana breathing shakily]

[whispers] You're beautiful.

[Liana gasps]

[breathing heavily]

No. Wait, Tomás.

- Not now. - Come here.

- Darling... - Oh, that's it.

You said that you wanted us to talk first.

- Hm? - Not now, please!

Come on.

No, Tomás.

Tomás, wait, wait...

Stop.

Come here. Come on.

- Tomás! - Bend over.

Tomás.

Tomás, wait. Listen to me!

- Relax. - You said you wanted to talk.

- Wait. Stop. - Stay there.

That's it.

Stop!

Stop! I said no!

Why not?

You're my wife, right?

I'm not sure anymore!

You stopped speaking to me!

You wouldn't let me visit you. You abandoned me.

You hardly ever wrote to me.

You never answered my letters.

Why?

Have you forgotten... why I was in prison?

No.

No, what happened haunts me to this day.

Every night, every single day, every minute, every breath I take...

it consumes me.

You wouldn't let your kids come to see you.

You allowed no one to see you. Not even me and your sister.

You chose to be alone!

[Tomás sighs]

All you ever talked about was the Bible and faith.

It felt like you were accusing me.

I've changed.

I had no choice.

There was no other way.

But I'm here now.

I'm back, and I'm gonna make things right.

I found my true path.

[sighs]

What do you wanna do?

Are you going back to the office?

[Tomás sighs]

There's no point. No one would hire a convicted lawyer.

But I will return.

I will rise again. My voice will be heard.

I don't understand.

There's only one way, Liana.

I've chosen my path.

Do you know what it is?

Of course you don't.

You only know deceit.

Your entire life, Liana, is a sprawling web of lies and deceit.

And everyone is trapped inside.

You and the children. You even trapped my sister.

But not me.

Because you see, Liana? I've paid for my sins.

And I have committed those sins because of you.

- Because of me? - [Tomás] Yes, because of you.

Your pride,

your selfishness

drove me crazy.

When did it begin?

Hmm?

And who was the first to commit sin?

I lost my mind, and I destroyed my life.

And it's all your fault. Because of you, Oscar's dead.

I wasn't alone in this, Tomás.

We made our choices together.

It was your choice to stay.

And we chose to have a family.

Do you know, Liana, where I found peace?

In the truth.

[scoffs]

It'll set you free.

It was the truth that set me free.

AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE

My mom taught me.

Hey, Marcos. What's up?

Going somewhere?

Nah. I think I'll just head back.

I'll come with you.

- No, stay here. It's cool. - It's okay. I gotta be somewhere.

I need to study.

And don't forget the slam.

You better be ready. We won't go easy on you.

- Hey! - I'm just sayin'.

- I've been practicing, okay? - That so?

- Really? - Wait and see.

- Okay! What do you think? - I'm serious. I've been practicing.

I'm just teasing you.

You'll see. I'm gonna nail it.

- This is for you. - For me?

Yeah.

Hmm!

- Bye. See you later. - Later.

- Marcos! - Ciao, Mateus.

- See you at the slam. - Hey, wait up!

When I was in prison, I had two choices before me.

I could either fight against my calling or I could embrace the fact

that I am one of the chosen few.

I've accepted the calling.

Everyone deserves the truth.

My mission now is to reveal this truth to everyone.

What are you saying?

- Tell me! [sighs] - [Tomás] Liana...

You are... my blessing and my curse.

You are my punishment.

You are my ordeal and my provocation.

You are my sin.

Do you understand?

Heteropaternal superfecundation?

[sighs]

You see, Liana? This was all a sign.

- I can't believe what I'm hearing. - This was a sign from God.

It is He, who guided me from the darkness.

It is He who showed me the light and put me on the path of redemption.

It is He who saved my soul, who turns my sins to glory.

This madness that forced me to take the life of another human being...

Tomás.

...with the help of God, it will become my salvation.

Stop it, Tomás!

- Have you gone mad? - Huh?

- No, no. - You're insane!

[Tomás laughs] No, Liana!

No!

I... opened my heart to Divine Truth.

I will start my life all over again.

What about our life?

Why dig up the past?

You want to make us suffer? Your children?

- And you? - No, you!

Suffering?

You have no idea! No idea at all how I have suffered!

[Liana sighs]

And now it is your time to be punished.

Blood is truth, Liana.

I will be a father to him, with God as my witness.

Of course you should be a father to Mateus.

- Mm-hm. - And to Marcos!

- [Tomás] Marcos? - Come on.

Marcos will learn the truth about his real father!

That would kill him.

He loves you! He doesn't deserve that.

- Please have mercy! - Liana!

- All this time, he's waited for you. - Liana.

- At night, he cried himself to sleep. - Liana? Liana!

He... missed you so much more than Mateus ever did.

- And you know that! - Liana? Liana? I understand.

I know all that!

So, everything that has happened.

- Tomás! - Whether it be good or bad.

Will be...

judged by Him.

Do you know what our biggest mistake was?

- We lied. - Don't do this!

Don't do this! Tomás, don't!

I'm begging you. Please don't.

Marcos loves you so much.

He and Mateus, they love each other.

They adore each other.

Mateus will not accept this! He will reject you!

- He will hate you! I'm done talking. - [Tomás] Everyone shall be judged.

[Liana] I'm begging you! Think about the boys.

Don't involve Marcos and Mateus in all of this!

That's all I'm asking you!

[tense music playing]

Dad?

You've been released?

[Marcos gasps]

Mom? Why didn't you tell us?

Your father wanted to surprise everyone.

My son, come! Give your father a hug.

- Hmm? - [scoffs]

- Hm? - [Marcos and Liana] Mateus?

[Marcos] Mateus, wait!

What the hell are you doing?

You gotta wake up, Marcos.

That guy never gave a damn about us, and now he just turns up like that?

- What are you talking about? - [scoffs]

It's fuckin' weird!

[Marcos] He was in prison, Mateus!

Dad, I missed you.

Why were you arguing?

- Come inside, we'll talk. - Young man.

It's so good to see you.

Come here.

Come and give me a hug.

Huh?

[chuckles]

Your father is here now. I'm back, my son. Hmm?

Dad, I know you're gonna love living up here in the mountains with us.

You must be tired.

You should go lie down. Try and get some rest.

I won't be staying.

You're not staying?

Where are you going?

Back to Rio.

I need to rebuild my life.

I, um... need to make a... brand-new start.

Without lies.

What lies?

My son, I promise that sometime soon, we'll have a talk.

A very serious talk.

Dad, we've really missed you.

- Tomás! - I won't make the same mistakes again.

I understand the situation.

Don't worry. Hmm?

Well, I'm off, then.

My parents are waiting.

Ah. By the way.

I've only ever wanted what's best for you.

Keep well.

Goodbye, son.

Dad, wait! Can we... take a photo of us together?

- Let's do it. - [Marcos] What? A family photo?

What do you think?

Hmm.

Let's do it.

[Tomás sighs]

[cell phone chimes]

- Okay. - [Liana] I'll walk you out.

Bye, Dad.

Tomás. Wait a second!

For Marcos, this was really important.

- Hm. - Thanks for not spoiling it.

And for Mateus? It wasn't important?

Is that it?

- Seriously? - See how he acted?

- What did you expect? - You saw him.

You suddenly turn up, all cold and... distant.

They don't recognize you, and neither do I.

All this time, I was hoping we'd get back together.

- Hm. - I was loyal to our agreement.

It must have been difficult for you to be loyal.

Hmm?

Well, that's what we had agreed.

And I believed that once you were back, we'd start over.

Start fresh and leave the past behind.

Get our family back together again.

I was loyal to that idea.

That family doesn't exist, Liana.

It never has. It's all a lie.

That's not true.

You have two sons who love you.

They love you each in their own way. They're inside that house waiting for you.

Sure, and I'm happy for them.

I love them too.

Love is a beautiful feeling, Liana.

I wish no ill on anyone.

I just want what is mine.

I want my son.

That will destroy him, Tomás.

[Tomás sighs]

We all deserve the truth.

[sighs]

But... there is a time for everything.

I'm willing to wait.

[somber music continues]

[sighs]

[door opens]

[door closes]

Mom, I sent you the photo.

I can't believe that he's back.

Me too. It was quite the surprise.

Huh?

Were you surprised or scared?

[Marcos] That doesn't matter, Mateus.

What matters is that he's back.

He's not living here, is he?

Listen, your father... he needs some time to himself.

He's... confused.

He just wants what's best for you.

I didn't even recognize him.

He's changed.

Well, he looks like you.

He's changed, I'm telling you.

[crickets chirping]

Are they still in love?

I suppose so.

They spent a lot of time apart, though.

What did he mean when he said he only wants what's best for us?

No idea.

That he wanted to protect us?

Without lies?

What does he mean?

How the hell would I know?

Uh, maybe this is about Oscar. We never got the whole story.

- No one ever told us what... - Let it go, Mateus.

Chill out, will you?

Our dad is back.

Can't you be happy?

I know I am.

[Mateus sighs]

TO SÍLVIA: TOMÁS IS BACK, BUT HE DOESN'T WANT TO LIVE WITH US.

[birds singing]

So, how did it go at home when you saw Mateus and Marcos?

Mom, my home is here now.

Yes, of course.

You and Liana have all the time in the world

to iron out whatever issues you have.

Olinda.

It's a good idea to take a break, dear. What?

- What do you want me to say, Jonas? - Olinda.

[Olinda] You said the same yourself.

I'm just stating the obvious, and we've all known it for years now.

- My Sílvia! - [Olinda] My darling, what a surprise.

[tender music playing]

- Tomás? - Hm?

Are you guys getting a divorce?

Is that why you're not at home with your wife and with your kids?

Kid.

I have one son.

Why do you look so surprised? You already knew.

You're the one who helped her.

I respected the decision you two made together.

Well, the thing is... I've changed.

I'm a lucky man to have both my children with me.

[laughs]

Ah, Tomás, I've missed you so much.

Did your brother tell you about all his new...

- Well, uh... - plans?

No. I'd actually love to find out what all these new plans are about.

I offered him his old job.

I told him he could work on whatever case he wanted,

but he has his own ideas.

A future career in politics.

- Politics? - Now you know.

He'll begin working with a congressman, an old friend of mine.

Then once his record is cleared, he'll be able to launch his own campaign.

Tomás was an important leader in prison.

That will count in the future.

So this is your plan?

And the truth will set you free.

[tense music playing]

[music fades]

[Débora] Bye! Thank you.

[Débora] Hello?

[Nelson] Hey! Well, look who's here!

- [Débora] Hey! - [Nelson] It's been a while.

You're looking good.

[Débora] I'm telling you, India is a magical place.

I could have stayed there forever.

The only reason that I came back

is because Dad asked me to help out here.

- You? Here? - Yeah.

Débora, you're welcome anytime.

[both laugh]

Don't worry, you can trust me to have your back.

Relax, Nelson. We both know you're making good money here.

[laughs]

Yeah. Well, you know me.

Jeez, I've missed you.

Yeah, me too.

I've... missed it all.

Am I interrupting?

[Débora] Hey! Eudora!

It's good to see you! All good?

- Mm-hm. - So, how are you?

I'm doing better.

Things were bad.

- You missed me? - Absolutely.

It wasn't much fun here. That's why I left.

So come back. Hmm?

- Hm? - You know that my brother loved you.

He used to say, "Eudora is the soul of the bar."

And he was right.

Come work with me.

Hey, Ed? A couple of beers. We should talk.

- Gotcha. - [group laughs]

[upbeat pop playing]

We're here. Watch your step.

We're on the third floor.

- It's spacious and really bright. - Relax, Bia.

And you know what else? It's close to your mom!

Uh, is that a good idea?

[both laugh]

Hi Bia, welcome!

Hi, Jorge! This is Inácio.

- Hey. - Hi, Inácio.

Jorge.

- Come inside. - Follow me.

- Thanks, Jorge. [chuckles] - Go right in.

Great, thank you.

This is Francisco, the owner of the apartment.

- Hello. Pleased to meet you. - Welcome. Make yourself at home.

- Hello. - Hello.

The apartment's beautiful. Much better than the photos.

[Inácio] Ah.

Uh-huh. The flooring is new? I can still smell it.

The tenant redid it last week. Is the smell a problem?

No, not at all. Everything's fine.

Inácio? I think this would be perfect to set up your studio.

- In here? - Yeah. Uh-huh.

- Okay. - Yeah.

[Inácio chuckles]

So? What do you think?

I think... we should sign the lease.

- [squeals] - [laughs]

A five-month deposit?

You never mentioned that before.

It's just to make sure you can pay the rent.

It's common practice.

And what makes you think that we can't pay the rent?

Listen, you're a young couple, and all you have is your salary.

And let's face it, that just covers the monthly rent.

I work too.

You get pocket money or welfare?

Hah! Okay! Look! I get it!

So what? You don't think you should rent the apartment to me and Inácio

because you're worried he can't pay?

Relax, we can work this out.

I'm sorry, but I have the right to have these guarantees.

Wait, wait, wait. Wait a minute. Relax. It's okay, Bia.

Excuse me. What's your name again?

- Francisco. - Francisco.

Francisco, I've been working since I've been 20.

I make a living as a musician.

As an artist.

Yes, I'm self-employed, and I'm pretty well off. [chuckles]

Yes, I'm blind.

But this doesn't limit me in any way, shape, or form.

And you, Francisco, you have eyes, but you can't see shit.

And because of that, Francisco, you just lost two tenants.

Have a nice day.

- Come on. - Let's go.

[gentle music playing]

[birds singing]

Ugh. I'd really like to draw, but that thing gets in the way.

[Liana] You find that the brace impedes you?

[Ana] Yeah.

It's perfectly normal to find it difficult to adapt,

but this will help a lot.

Because of the accident, your hand looks like this.

And you can only move like this.

Your hand can no longer do this movement.

The brace will help you maintain your hand in this position.

It will help improve your mobility, and improve your strength.

I promise that you'll get used to it.

[laughs] Okay.

This finger goes... here.

It has to feel comfortable, okay? Not too tight and not too loose.

Just tight enough so that you can feel supported.

- Okay? - Yeah.

I have something else that might help.

This strange-looking thing is used to transform regular pencils

into larger ones that you can grasp with your hand.

It makes it much easier to hold and manipulate.

Let's try. Take it.

Squeeze it.

Yeah, it feels much better now.

See if you can draw...

- You already made a perfect circle! - Not exactly perfect. [laughs]

Yes, it is!

[laughs]

Ah... what a beautiful drawing, Ana.

[laughs]

You think it looks beautiful?

- It's terrible. - No, it's not.

- It looks awful. - I think it's beautiful.

This is your way of drawing, Ana. It's your unique style.

Having your own voice is the most beautiful thing in the world.

- You see? - Wanna keep this?

Thanks very much, Liana.

And don't forget to use this, okay?

- Ready? Go get your stuff, okay? - Okay.

[Liana] Hmm.

[Dante sighs, chuckles]

I noticed

we haven't seen you around lately.

I've been busy with the children here at work.

I'm so lucky.

I can't imagine my life without them.

[sighs] Liana,

I hope you don't mind me asking, but are you okay?

Tomás has been released.

He came by to see us yesterday.

[Dante sighs]

Is he here now?

No, he left.

I don't think he's coming back.

- I'll wait to see what happens next. - Hmm.

Listen. It's not easy. I know what it feels like.

So, if... you need a friend,

someone to talk to... I'm here for you, okay?

Just call me.

I'd like to repay you for everything that you've done for Ana, alright?

It's the least I can do.

It means a lot to me.

[Dante sighs]

- Thank you, Dante. - [Dante] Yeah, sure.

Hey, guys!

Hey.

[exhales]

Ana? Ready?

Yeah.

Ciao, Liana. See you soon.

- Bye. - Bye, Liana.

Why were you and Dante hugging?

It was weird.

He was thanking me because Ana started drawing again.

He was happy, and so was I. Why?

What if Dad saw you?

Your dad isn't here.

Why did Dad leave? Is it because of Dante?

This has nothing to do with Dante! Understood?

What you saw there was a show of affection between friends.

That's it!

What about Dad? You didn't show him any affection.

If you'd made an effort, I'm sure Dad would've stayed.

I'll not be held responsible for other people's decisions!

I don't know what your father wants. I don't know why he left!

[César] That murderer has been released, and you didn't tell me about it?

Tomás has good lawyers. You know the Rosenthals.

You don't think I've got good fuckin' lawyers?

This is not acceptable! I'll sue them.

- Right. Okay. - I'll sue those fuckers!

Come on, call your lawyers. Tell them you want to sue!

Just stay calm.

I'm not gonna have a fuckin' heart attack, Débora!

I'll make him pay.

That son of a bitch killed my son.

He killed my son!

[Mateus] Where'd he go?

Your father has left with your granddad.

They won't be back until this evening.

- Would you like some juice? - No. Thank you.

Uh... does your mother know that you're here?

No. This is between our dad and us.

We wanna know why Dad doesn't want to live with us.

Because your father wants to stay with us.

Because of everything that's happened.

Yes... because your father will need a lot of time to readapt.

Hasn't your mother explained to you why your father left?

- Mom! - I didn't say anything.

[Marcos] Gran, I know you want to see your son

but we want him to stay at home.

Well, why don't you come and live with us, then?

- There's room for everyone. - Mom!

Sílvia, I'm just looking out for my son, that's all.

[Marcos] Gran, we just wanna understand.

Dad came back, then they had a fight.

Then he said something about lies.

- What lies? - Is this about Oscar?

- [Sílvia] Listen, boys. Um... - [Olinda clears throat]

This is something that you need to discuss with your mom and your dad.

Why did Dad kill Oscar?

Mom said that he was a criminal.

And I get that. But... So what?

They got into a fight.

They had this argument, and Dad lost his mind.

He lost his mind?

That's what your mother says? That he lost his mind?

- [Sílvia] Stop it. - [Olinda] That's true!

He did lose his mind. Did she tell you why?

Do you want to know why?

[Sílvia] You don't know why. You don't know anything!

So stop it!

I know the reason why! I won't be quiet anymore!

Liana is responsible for everything that happened!

Your mother had an affair with Oscar.

- [Sílvia] Not true! - Your father caught them.

- [Sílvia] Don't listen. - He killed your mom's lover!

- That's what! - [Sílvia] No!

What?

- Honestly, Mother! - [Olinda] What?

- Will you just shut up! - [Olinda] Whose side are you on, Sílvia?

- On the side of truth. - [Olinda] Rubbish!

[Sílvia] Boys.

Your grandmother, she...

she really has no idea what she's talking about.

Listen to me.

Please, go home now and speak with your mother.

She had lots of time to tell us, though. She said nothing.

Um... I wanna talk with my dad.

[Sílvia] Well, your father isn't here.

And if your mother decided to say nothing,

it's because she had good reason.

Life hasn't been easy for her. She's suffered a lot!

Are you listening?

She has suffered a lot!

But she succeeded in raising both of you!

And you should be old enough to understand that.

So I'm asking you again.

Please go home and speak with your mother.

- [sighs] - [Marcos] I'm leaving. Come on.

Let's go.

I'm leaving.

- [Mateus] Marcos, wait up. - [Marcos] Come on. Let's go.

[Mateus] Marcos, wait.

Wait for me.

- Jonas! - Congressman.

[both laugh]

- How are you? - Fine, thanks.

Jonas, your son's going to join my team.

I like his ideas for rehabilitating ex-prisoners

and helping them to get back onto their feet.

It's shocking how easily we tend to forget about these people.

- True. - I'm delighted.

I had the feeling that you and Tomás would get along together.

My son is a good man, Congressman.

He has paid a high price for defending his family.

Thank you, Father.

Thank you, Congressman, for your words.

- My pleasure. - Thank you also to your entire party.

I promise you all that I'll work hard to ensure our reelection.

I'll do my very best.

In the future,

once I've paid back my debt to society,

then I intend to run for election.

It's true that I have... made mistakes.

But in a country where impunity is rife, I have been transformed.

And my mission,

until I breathe my last breath,

is to be faithful to our party, and...

to our country.

And to help me on my mission,

I know I can count on the person who guided me

on this path.

She's a dear, dear friend, a real friend, in this, our journey of transformation.

Claudia Aguilar. Claudia!

Your time has come, Tomás!

- Congratulations! - Keep filming.

For the past six years, I have waited patiently

for this day.

Everything that I say

can easily be summed up in one single word.

And that word is truth.

Because in the end,

it is only truth

that can set us free.

What? Is Olinda crazy? Has she gone mad?

She has no right to say that!

She knows nothing! How can she say such a thing?

She has no idea what happened with me and Oscar!

Liana, I know that.

I couldn't believe it. I was shocked.

It was like she was having a psychotic episode

to protect her darling little boy.

But what really gets to me is Tomás.

He's a totally different person.

Sílvia, the boys lied to me. They didn't go to school.

Liana, you have to talk to them.

You have to talk to the boys and tell them the truth.

Thank God Tomás wasn't there when they came over.

The other day, he promised that he wouldn't say anything yet.

We can't trust anything Tomás says.

Okay, I'll talk to you later. Ciao.

[sighs deeply]

[exhales slowly]

Feeling nervous?

Yep.

[Pâmela] You got this. Don't sweat it.

[Dante sighs]

[Júlia breathing deeply]

[intense, rhythmic music playing]

[Júlia] In a world filled with likes I stand behind the mics

No filter

You who know me offline

Stand with me in real time

I'm scared of being me

'Cause being me could mean losing you

Abandoned.

True, we could be two, but where are you?

Lost

Don't tell me I'm your princess

When you talk to me You treat me like royalty

Scared of rejection But I won't beg for your affection.

I'm not looking for attention

I'm lookin' for a good man Not scared to hold my hand.

You may have good intentions

But my voice is my invention.

In this direction, I see my reflection.

I am woman

I am free

And no one will take it from me

[crowd cheers]

[sounds dampen]

[cell phone chimes]

What does she want?

Ten messages from Julia.

WHERE ARE YOU? DID YOU QUIT?

The Slam session! Damn. I completely forgot about it.

[huffs] I better call.

- [cell phone rings] - [sighs]

- Hey, Mateus. - Julia, let me explain, okay?

Listen, if you didn't wanna do the session, then why sign up?

Julia, something weird just happened.

Can we meet up and talk?

I can't do this on the phone.

I need to see you.

I'm not joking. I'm serious.

Okay. Well, you wanna come over?

I'm making lunch.

Sounds good. I'll be there soon.

Let's go see Julia.

- No. No, no. I'm going home. - Come on, Marcos!

- I said no! - Drop it! - Please, c'mon!

Marcos, listen. She's really pissed with me.

Then after we can go home and talk to Mom together, okay?

Please.

ROSENTHAL RELEASED FROM PRISON.

[Marcos] Dad's release made the headlines.

"Jailed for murder."

Hmm.

Why are you reading that stuff?

We never knew why they got into that fight. Now we do.

Our mom was at home,

with her lover.

[Mateus] And that's a reason to kill someone?

You always take sides with Dad.

You're being a bit sexist, Marcos.

- This is none of your business. - What the fuck?

Forget it. I'm going home.

- [Mateus] Stay. - We should never have come!

[Júlia] Relax Marcos, I won't say another word, okay?

Stay, Marcos. Come on.

[Marcos] Guess who's calling?

- Mom? - Exactly.

I'll talk to her. Give it to me.

- No! - Marcos?

- I'm leaving. - [Sérgio] Hi!

[Júlia] You're here!

- You're having friends over. - [Sérgio] Hello!

- Hello. [laughs] - Yeah.

- Hey, Mom. Missed you. - [Marcos] Hello.

[Júlia] You're back early.

[sounds distort]

I want you to meet my friends.

- Guys. My parents, Sergio and Betina. - Hello.

- Hi, I'm Mateus. - Marcos.

- They're twins. - Twins, really?

- Yeah. - [chuckles]

Marcos and Mateus?

Uh, you're Liana's children?

- Yeah. Why? - Yeah.

Marcos?

- [sobs] Wow, you look so handsome. - [both laugh]

I'm glad you think I'm handsome, but... he's your son-in-law.

- [Júlia laughs] - C'mon. [chuckles]

- [Marcos] It's true! - Such a small world!

- [Mateus] Do you know our mother? - Yes! [chuckles]

Well... We got to know her when she was pregnant with you.

But we kinda lost contact.

Yeah, that sounds like our mother. She's always driving people away.

- Don't say that. - Marcos.

That's how she destroyed our family.

[Betina] No, you shouldn't say that.

She did everything to keep you together.

You must be mistaken. That's definitely not my mother.

[Tomás] The truth will set you free.

THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.

[Marcos] Our mother had a lover.

But... our father killed him.

- Hey, bro! What the hell are you doing? - [Marcos] Shut up!

I'm telling the truth so she understands.

- [Sérgio] Relax. Calm down. - Stop it!

I'm giving her the whole story, that's all.

- Shh! Calm down! - Fuck's sake!

Relax, 'kay?

Marcos, maybe you're right.

I don't know what happened between your parents.

But I know Tomás.

He... was a cold man.

Things were complicated.

[Mateus] You knew our father?

What do you know?

[sternly] Betina.

[sighs]

Liana decided to go against the wishes of her husband.

She came to see us.

You were still very young.

Wait. Hang on a minute.

Mom...

Mom, is this the woman you told me about?

- Is that what you're saying? - Who?

- What woman? - Nobody, Mateus.

- I know nothing, okay? - You just said "the woman." Who is it?

Is that it? They have a right to know, Mom!

- Tell them! - What are you talking about?

[Betina] When you were born, your father only wanted to keep one child.

He brought Marcos to us to be adopted.

But then Liana, she came to see us, with Mateus.

She took you back.

[door opens]

[tense music playing]

Where were you?

I called you. I sent you messages. You never answered.

You lied to me and just disappeared.

Why didn't you say anything to me, Mom?

I don't know what Olinda said.

I don't know what she told you.

But your grandmother knows nothing about my life.

We know Marcos was put up for adoption, Mom.

Why did you do it?
