[dog barking in distance]

[sentimental music playing]

[gasps]

[laughs]

- Inácio? - What's up?

I've got some good news and I've got some bad news.

- Oh yeah? - Mm-hmm.

- [laughs] I'm listening. - So, the good news first.

Remember I was feeling a little queasy? Well, I'm okay now.

Mm... And the bad news? Let me guess, I'm cooking tonight?

[both laugh]

That too.

The bad news is... that... you're going to have to move your studio.

And why would you want me to move my studio?

- I'll explain. - Tell me.

I'm pregnant, Inácio!

I'm pregnant!

[both laughing]

Unbelievable!

[she laughs]

- You're not joking? - Seriously, I'm pregnant!

[she laughs again]

[he laughs]

Pregnant? I'm not in the mood for your jokes, Inácio.

[Inácio] We've been using an app, Mom.

You did what?

Are-are you telling me the two of you used an app

- to manage your family planning? - [Inácio] C'mon! Granny Silvia,

- aren't you happy for us? - Bia's pregnant.

[sighs] That's not what I meant.

Of course I'm happy! Give me a moment, I just got the news.

- Let me talk to them. - I'm...

How is Bia?

Bia is doing fine. Don't worry.

In fact, she's ecstatic.

I'll put on Vicente.

Oh my God.

Congratulations!

You can count on Granddad Vicente!

[Inácio] Thank you, Granddad!

Vicente... I'll try to be...

as good a father as you.

[Vicente] You're going to be an amazing father, Inácio.

Give Bia a big hug from us.

[Inácio chuckles] She hugs you right back.

Can you believe it? It's such wonderful news!

I know, but... he's having a baby.

[takes deep breath]

Don't be afraid, darling.

- It's just... - Don't worry.

Listen, my darling Silvia.

You will be the best grandmother in the world.

[she laughs]

DESPERATE LIES

You're a hypocrite.

Was it because of her that you wouldn't let me visit?

[quiet, tense music plays]

I trusted you.

I thought you were protecting me.

Protecting your children.

I loved you.

You wanted to be free,

while I was in prison, because of you.

All these years, I've stayed faithful.

What is it you don't understand?

Why are you looking for revenge?

Move on with your life.

You keep talking about truth. What truth are you talking about?

The one truth that matters.

Oscar and I did not have an affair.

I don't want to talk about it ever again, okay?

You won't talk about it, because you know that's where it all started.

Hmm?

It all started with you, Liana.

With you.

If you hadn't... gone out.

If you hadn't

thrown yourself all over him.

If you hadn't been drinking and taking drugs,

if you hadn't seduced that fool, none of this would've happened.

You're disgusting.

Disgusting!

You have to face reality. It's the only way to find peace.

Reality?

Tomás, the pain that I endured was unbearable.

I don't wish to share that.

That's because you're guilty!

Huh?

And I am innocent.

I will not be silenced.

If you won't do it for me, do it for the children.

Tomás? Do it for Marcos, do it for Mateus.

The press are constantly hounding the kids.

Please, it's too much stress. It will destroy Mateus.

Mateus will understand.

Today, things are different.

People can say whatever they want. Mateus knows that.

In any case, I don't have time for this.

My schedule's full. I'm a busy man.

I've got better things to do.

And just to let you know, in a short while,

my record will be cleared.

Then I'll concentrate on my real vocation.

My political career.

So the more people that follow me and hear my story,

the more who listen to me, who talk to me,

the more powerful I become.

You're insane.

[Cláudia] That's it! I have had enough of this nonsense! Get outta here!

You'll regret this.

Regret what?

Huh? Regret what?

Huh? Marrying you?

And staying with you after what you did?

I accepted your betrayal!

I accepted your wishes and I accepted your desires!

You and I are linked for eternity. You got that?

And that's why you will never be free of me.

Never.

Watch me.

You'll see.

[Tomás] Oh yeah?

You can never leave me!

Liana!

Liana!

You'll never be free, you hear?

Fuck.

What do you mean, "linked for eternity"?

What about me?

Cláudia!

Cláudia.

You...

[exhales]

You are you.

You understand?

You are my partner.

That's it.

Liana is...

[exhales]

She's... She's the devil.

[Tomás] I did the best that I could.

I tried very hard.

[muffled background music playing]

But it was just too difficult.

I just had to...

Débora, stop watching this stuff.

I can't believe my brother's murderer is giving interviews.

What does your dad think?

- He's going crazy! - [Eudora clicks tongue]

It's hard to believe.

- Eudora. - Mm?

That thing you said earlier.

What about it?

Well, I'm really glad that you like me.

Yeah?

Nice.

I was gonna give up.

- What's that? - What?

["Preparada" by Duda Beat playing]

[music fades out]

[birds chirping]

[Tomás] Marcos is not my biological son.

My ex-wife cheated on me.

Oh, the guy's nuts.

He posts every day.

- What? - A new video every day.

[sighs] Mateus can't lie to Marcos like this much longer.

Júlia, do not get involved.

They really have to take care of this themselves.

- Just stay out of it. Okay? - I know.

- I know. - Take care.

[Júlia exhales]

- See ya. - Mm-hm.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

Hey, Jules. Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Has Mateus stopped coming to school?

How would I know, Pam?

Why don't you just ask him yourself?

Go to hell.

Hey...

What's up with her?

- She's crazy. - What happened?

Don't know.

[car door closes]

[Liana sighs]

[she sighs again]

[somber music playing]

[Norma] I have a gift for you, Liana.

Remember?

It belonged to Lucas.

That way,

your brother will always be close to you.

It will bring you comfort.

He will always be with you.

Really? Last time you said you didn't wanna see me.

Mm.

Hmm.

All right. I'll be there.

It's okay, she has a sleepover with a friend.

Yeah. Okay. I'll be there. See you later.

Tomás thinks that I'm afraid of him.

He thinks he can intimidate me. [scoffs]

You need to be careful, Liana.

[liquid pouring]

When he was in prison,

it felt like I was in prison too.

I don't know.

- [pitcher clinks] - Like I was guilty of some crime myself.

[quiet laugh]

Like I was being made to pay.

I don't know.

But now, I just wanna take care of my boys and my home.

And me.

Take care of myself.

I'm happy you came to see me.

Me too.

It's in the past now.

I promise.

Eh... Well, that's worth celebrating.

You know, Liana, you're an incredible woman.

Hmm.

You mean an incredible troublemaker.

[both laugh]

Yeah.

We all have a story to tell, right?

Some more than others. Hm?

Well, I'm tired of my story.

So, when can we celebrate?

- Hm? - Whenever.

How about tonight?

[romantic music playing]

To freedom.

Are you going someplace?

I'm taking Ana to see her mother in São Paulo.

João Cabral de Melo Neto.

It's one of my favorite books.

With one of my favorite poems.

It seems to me that you've always lived

Free, wrapped in a cage

In that cage of yours

Your caged dress

"Woman in a Caged Dress."

[Liana] Is he talking about me?

[Dante] It's about me too.

It's about how I feel...

whenever I'm with you.

[Liana] How does it end?

[Dante] In desire.

[Liana] And what about us? How does it end?

[Dante] We haven't even started yet.

♪ Save your love in my pocket ♪

♪ No wasting moments ♪

♪ Slow is the motion ♪

♪ And there's no time to waste ♪

♪ I know it's my life ♪

♪ And I have lain ♪

♪ Just for this game ♪

That was a wonderful night.

If you like, tomorrow we can...

Liana, tomorrow... I'm traveling.

[exhales]

I forgot.

Will you be gone for long?

I don't know yet.

You see, Ana really misses her mother.

And then, like I told you, there's this job offer.

Head office, they've offered me a position in São Paulo.

It's a really good opportunity for me, but I still need time to think about it.

The school here, they've hired a substitute.

Are you moving out there?

Mm, probably.

At least for a while.

I was thinking of going back to university.

I stopped studying after Ana's accident.

Huh... I don't know.

It's a lot of changes.

Change is good.

Yeah.

And, um... I've no reason to stay here.

Or do I?

[sentimental music playing]

There's no cage.

None for either of us.

I want you to be happy.

You're free.

I wish you a happy life.

And don't forget...

No more cages, right?

[Liana] Mm.

[Liana inhales]

[Dante sighs]

Dante, I wanted to say...

Safe travels.

[door closes]

[door unlocking]

[door slams]

- Hey. Someone here? - Mom.

I told you she was spending the night in Rio, remember?

Oh yeah.

What about Júlia? I haven't seen her in a while.

She'll be over one of these days.

Listen, Mateus, um... I've been feeling kinda weird.

Ever since I saw Júlia,

I've been having these really strange thoughts.

I remember when we were young at the waterfall.

I couldn't swim or I was drowning, and you were there too.

You were shouting.

And I remember Dad was there too,

but he took a long time to come get me.

Was it just a dream?

It didn't happen like that.

I thought he was gonna let me drown.

That's not it.

Dad saved you from drowning.

I saw him jump in after you, Marcos.

He pulled you out.

Don't worry, people don't always recall events exactly like they happened.

Our mind... plays tricks.

But the memory feels so real.

You're just confused, that's all.

We went to the waterfall with some kids from school,

and Robson, this asshole, pushed you under.

Why did he do it?

Because he's an asshole.

He doesn't like us.

In any case, when we were kids at the waterfall,

it was Dad that saved you.

That's what happened.

Well, I get that, but how come he never calls us?

It's like he doesn't exist.

Of course he exists, bro.

Don't be ridiculous.

[door opens]

- [phone rings] - [Congressman laughs]

[man] That's excellent.

I've been following your story online, Tomás.

- [Tomás] Mm-hmm. - Is it all true?

Yes, I've been chosen.

Until I converted, I was living in disgrace.

Hm. I'm impressed.

I consider myself to be...

to be living proof that everyone deserves a second chance.

Tomás has been of great help to the party.

- He's an excellent orator. - Huh!

He could speak with your constituents.

- I'm sure he'll be appreciated. - [Tomás] Hm!

Of course.

[melancholy music playing]

[Mateus] Hi.

How are you?

May I speak with Júlia?

She's very upset, Mateus.

It's important.

She's busy studying right now.

Listen. I know things are complicated at home for you,

but you really need to be more considerate.

- I know. - Good.

It's okay, Mom.

C'mon.

You okay?

[sighs]

[dog barking in distance]

I'm scared, Júlia.

Marcos is getting his memory back.

Then you have to stop lying.

I won't pretend to be his girlfriend.

Understood?

Will you come with me, please?

Your brother's no idiot.

And I don't wanna get hurt.

[Mateus clicks tongue]

I love you, Júlia.

Don't count on me.

You made your bed, Mateus. Now you sleep in it.

[Júlia exhales, sniffs]

- I'll be off then. - Okay.

Mom.

My baby.

Mom, I really like Mateus, I miss him.

And it's so hard on Marcos. I don't know what to do, Mom. I...

Listen, Júlia.

For the moment, you need to take care of yourself.

Okay?

You have to stay strong, all right?

What Mateus is doing is wrong.

Hmm?

Hmm?

- [Inácio] Here we go. - [Bia laughs]

[beeps]

[rapid thumping]

[Bia and Olinda laugh]

What is it? Is it your new song?

It's the heartbeat of your great-grandson.

[Bia] Or great-granddaughter.

- We don't know yet. - [Inácio] Yeah.

[Bia] I'm just six weeks in. [giggles]

Well, Inácio. We didn't know you wanted children.

Please, be happy.

Inácio, we're just worried, that's all.

Will the baby have health problems? Have you seen a doctor?

We came here to tell you about the baby, and you're not even happy for us?

- Oh... [falters] - [Jonas sighs]

Our child will be born and surrounded by love. That's what's important, right?

Bia, there's no need to get all annoyed. Obviously, we are very happy for you.

But we cannot forget what happened when Inácio was born.

Inácio, make sure the child has a check-up, okay?

Go see... a specialist.

- Make sure everything is okay. - A check-up for what?

- It's best for everyone. - Relax.

Understood.

We'll have all the tests done. I'll take care of it.

No need to worry.

[Vicente] This doesn't mean that your child will have the same disease.

And even if the child does,

it doesn't mean the symptoms will be as serious as yours.

Your disease is very rare.

Vicente, I cannot imagine my child going through what I did.

And I just can't imagine Bia suffering like my mom did.

[sighs]

[Vicente] Inácio.

You are the most important person in the world for your mother.

She cannot even imagine a single day without you.

[both laugh]

Your baby is a true gift to both of you, Inácio.

My advice? Breathe in, calm down and enjoy this special time with Bia.

Hmm. I think becoming a father hasn't quite sunk in yet.

You know, my own father wasn't a big part of my life.

And I wanna be the best father for my child.

And yet... I'm not convinced I can do it.

Inácio, trust me,

you are going to be a wonderful father for your son or your daughter.

I'm telling you,

you'll make a great dad.

[soft music playing]

[city traffic sounds]

[Dante] Listen, I'm serious. You don't have to do this.

- Dante, relax. It's okay. You can stay. - Okay? No!

No, you're not staying in a hotel.

You're staying here like you've always done.

Yeah, but this time I'll be staying a little longer.

I don't wanna bother you.

[scoffs]

Actually, I'm glad that you'll be staying.

Things haven't been easy.

- Yeah? - I really need this vacation with Ana.

- Enjoy it. - Mm...

- I've missed her so much. - Mm. She missed you.

And what about this new job, it's perfect!

We'll be able to get to see each other.

And now we can have a real shared custody.

Yeah, it's perfect.

- Yeah. - For sure.

- Ana is such a happy child. - Yeah.

You've raised her well, Dante.

A toast. To new beginnings.

[quiet, hopeful music playing]

To reunions.

[music becomes tense]

[Robson] Hey, Marcos.

Are you busy? Can I come in so we can talk?

I'm Robson, your friend from school.

Do you remember me?

Hi, Robson.

Mateus told me about you.

The nice things only, I bet.

Well, not really.

He said you were an asshole.

You tried to drown me at the waterfall.

Mateus just likes to exaggerate shit.

It's his thing.

Anyway, are you allowed to have visitors?

Has anyone come to see you from school?

Just Júlia.

Cool, so you remember her?

We were dating, right?

[laughs]

You and Júlia?

I get it. She's hot.

But... she's with Mateus.

Well, at least they were dating last time I heard.

You still look pretty confused.

Did you get your memory back?

Wanna come in?

Do you know my father?

Everyone knows your father.

That guy's on the internet practically every day.

- You didn't know? - No.

No?

Listen, I don't wanna get into any trouble, but...

Don't you have a cellphone?

You can catch him online.

No. I mean, it's just...

Sometimes I forget stuff, you know?

Okay. Let me show you something.

- Look. Your dad. - [Tomás] Liana was expecting twins.

A dream come true,

but which quickly became a nightmare.

[tense music playing]

All because of a very rare case of heteropaternal superfecundation.

What should have been a dream come true

[echoing] turned into a living hell.

- [young Mateus] Dad! Dad! - [Tomás]You could've died, and Mateus too!

- [Marcos] Who's my father? - [Liana] He only wanted one.

- [Tomás] I've suffered my whole life! - [Jonas] He's Oscar Oliveira's son!

[Débora] I will love you like my own for my entire life.

- You look just like my brother. - [Jonas] Oscar is a scumbag.

- [Tomás] Marcos is not your grandson. - [young Mateus] ...drowning!

- Not my biological son. - [young Mateus] Help him!

[Liana] You may not be his father, but he's your son! Don't stop loving him!

[Mateus] Marcos, we'll get through this together.

- Marcos! - [Marcos] I hate this feeling!

[Tomás] Marcos is not your grandson.

[Marcos] I hate you! I hate my father! I hate you!

[Liana] I can't live without you.

[Marcos vomiting]

What are you doing here?

- Fuck you. None of your business. - What the hell! This is my house!

Marcos.

Marcos, are you there?

- [door opens] - [Mateus gasps]

[chair clatters]

What's wrong with you?

[Marcos breathes heavily]

- Ah! Marcos! - You lied to me!

Stop! Marcos, stop!

- Ah! Ah! - Why did you do it?

[both grunting]

[painful grunt]

Are you crazy?

Why was Robson here?

What did he say?

Marcos?

Marcos?

Marcos!

What did that asshole say to you? Marcos?

- Hold on! Stop! Stop, Marcos! - Fuck you!

- [Mateus] Ah! - You son of a bitch!

Piece of shit!

- Fuck you! You piece of shit! - Stop! Please!

- Stop! Marcos, stop! - Son of a bitch!

- Why did you do it? - Stop it!

- You piece of shit! - Marcos!

- Let him go! Stop it! - Fuck you!

Stop it!

- Get off him! - Leave me alone!

It's not her fault!

Were you just gonna keep lying to me?

It was all my fault! We were going to tell you, Marcos!

Oh yeah? When? Do you think I'm a fuckin' idiot?

Marcos, we wanted to wait a while.

Until you were feeling better...

You were still so fragile...

Don't you touch me!

I can't take it anymore!

Tomás hates me. He's not even my father!

He was gonna let me drown.

You don't know what you're saying.

- Calm down. Come inside. - Chill. Listen to her.

Let's all go back...

Leave me alone!

I don't wanna talk anymore! I know everything! I remember!

You betrayed me.

That's not true, Marcos.

You're my brother!

Go away.

Just leave.

[exhales]

[Liana] Mateus. Mateus!

Wait! Stay!

Don't go!

Mateus!

[exhales]

[Liana] Marcos?

[rapid footsteps approaching]

Sweetie?

Can we talk? Just listen.

Mom, I just want my life back.

Even if my life's a mess.

[Marcos sighs]

We just didn't want you to suffer. That's why he lied to you.

- And you let him do it. - It was a mistake.

You lied about everything.

Why didn't you tell me who my father was?

I wish I'd had the courage to tell you the whole story.

Marc...

[somber music plays]

[door opens]

[door slams]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[Liana] I've been trying to reach you for hours!

[sighs] Where have you been, Mateus?

Are you okay?

Terrible. I had a fight with Júlia, with my brother, with everyone.

He's never gonna forgive me.

Give him time.

He needs to rest.

And you need to relax.

I don't know why I made up all those lies.

Mateus. Don't. Leave him be.

[rattles doorknob]

Mateus.

[rattling stops]

[birds chirping]

Where's my phone?

Did you hide that too?

Did you need to lock the door?

Don't worry. You'll have it to yourself soon.

Why? Where are you going?

Away from here.

Anywhere.

I'm gonna be 18 soon.

I'll do what I want.

You can keep the room, you can keep Júlia, and you can keep Mom.

I think it's over now with Júlia.

What happened?

Isn't she your girlfriend?

Just call her.

She won't answer.

Here. We got into a big fight.

I messed up and I have to fix it.

[Sílvia] If you wanna be certain, you have to do the test.

We could just wait.

Until after the baby is born.

Is there any known cure?

None.

We'll love this child no matter what.

- [Sílvia] Mm-hmm. - Just like you loved Inácio.

You were the best mom ever.

Mm-hmm. Well, I think I'll be the best grandmother ever.

Because I know what it took to raise this kid.

[laughing]

You're the best mother in the world.

Thank you.

Well, after Bia, of course!

[all laugh]

Ma...

About these tests...

If you were our doctor, what would you advise us to do?

I'd say take one day at a time.

Inácio, I can't think of anyone else in this world

- who is better placed to raise this child. - [emotional music plays]

Think about it.

You'll understand exactly what your child needs.

Much better than I could.

It's too early to start thinking about all of that.

She doesn't even wanna know if it's a boy or a girl.

- Neither do I! - [Bia] Mm? [laughs]

[phone vibrates]

Sorry, it's Liana.

[Inácio] Sure.

[phone beeps]

[Sílvia] Hey!

Did you hear?

Bia's expecting.

Oh my God, Silvia!

Congratulations. I'm so happy for you. It's unbelievable.

[Sílvia] I wanted to call and tell you earlier, but you know how it is.

I'm still coming to grips with the whole idea.

I admire Inácio so much, Silvia. So much.

[somber music playing]

[shuddering sigh]

[Sílvia] What's wrong?

Are you okay? Are you crying?

[shaky breath]

Liana?

Liana? Are you still there?

Silvia, Marcos...

He got his memory back.

All of it.

Tomás, Oscar, everything.

All the bad memories came flooding back.

[music intensifies]

[doorbell rings]

Hey.

Come in.

- Júlia? - You said he wouldn't be here.

- I lied. It runs in the family. - [she exhales]

I had nothing to do with this!

It's true, Júlia. This was my idea.

- What? - Make up.

Will you stop meddling with my life?

This has nothing to do with you. It's between me and Mateus.

He was just trying to help me.

- Will you stay out of this? - Is this a joke?

- I'm outta here. - Wait!

I'm the one that's leaving.

Hi, Júlia.

Nice to see you.

Mom, did you know that Marcos is leaving?

So what?

- And where are you going? - [Marcos] Anywhere except here.

- You can't even find the gate. - I don't care! It's my life.

- I think I should leave. - Stay here, Júlia.

I have something to say to you all.

I know you're angry, and you've every reason to be.

What we did, we did out of love, but we messed up.

We lied. I lied.

I was afraid and ashamed.

It's the same old story.

You chose to lie, Mom.

You can't change that.

You should have told us about the affair.

It would have been better for everyone.

I didn't want you to know what happened.

You're full of shit.

- Stop it, Marcos. - Just listen to me!

Then you can do whatever you want!

- It's over. - I'm not done!

I'm exhausted!

I'm tired of it all!

You have no idea how hard this was.

The guilt, the shame and constant lying.

- What lie are you gonna tell us now, Mom? - Some secret we don't know about?

Well, yes.

I tried to keep it a secret.

All my life, I've kept this secret.

And that was a mistake.

The truth is, I didn't have an affair with Oscar.

I didn't tell you the truth, because the bastard raped me.

[somber music plays]

[music intensifies]

[breathes heavily]

[music continues]
