She's the one in charge of my social media.
I don't want to get in your way.
Lola was excited for you to get here.
Lola's always excited.
I hate it when you call me Lola, Pom-pom!
I hate it when you call me Pom-pom.
You know what I was thinking?
We could do some mommy and son content, me and Pom-pom.
My baby boy. Show off our special bond.
No, I'm terrible at that. I'd just get in Julia's way.
Listen, have we met before? Because...
you look familiar, like we've crossed paths...
I don't know... I'm not even from Rio. I'm from Iguape.
Lola's from São Paulo, right? She's from Joanópolis.
Please, I changed my citizenship ages ago!
I haven't set foot in that place in ages!
If I was poor back then, I honestly don't remember!
SCARS OF BEAUTY
I picked out a room for you right next to mine!
I had delivered all the way from New York
a super fancy quilt. You're going to love it!
But I'm not staying here this time.
-What? -I'm staying in our apartment.
What? Isn't it rented out?
-No. The tenant moved out. -No, Gabriel.
I can't believe you'd rather stay in that damn apartment,
filled with bad memories, than be with me at my house.
I was happy with my dad there. I want to stay there.
-I miss him. -Of course.
Everything for Rubem, right? Nothing for Lola.
Look, Gabriel, I already have to accept
the fact that you live far away. Now you come to Rio
and won't stay at my house? What an insult!
What did I do to you? Tell me what I did wrong,
-go on. -Don't be dramatic.
-What? -It's not of you,
-it's Carol. -Carol is in the past!
-And Átila. -Don't live in the past.
There's Átila, Benjamin, Tomás. The whole gang.
-I don't want to stay here. -They all bark but never bite.
What about you?
How did you forgive Benjamin after the video?
Son, that's marriage.
Drama, forgiveness. Drama, forgiveness.
-Men being men. -I'm a man, I'm not like that.
Because you were raised by me.
I gave you love, I taught you values...
So different from the Argentos.
They have some heavy karma going on.
One more reason for me not to stay here.
-Fine, Gabriel. -Okay?
Mothers can take anything.
Even ingratitude. One of these days, I might just die.
They're going to bury me...
Then you'll know what it's like to live with no mother. Got it?
You'll regret what you've done to me.
Okay, Lola. Fine, I'll stay.
My God!
My beautiful boy!
You came from here... straight from my little Lola!
Busy working?
Tell me,
have you noticed how handsome my son is?
He is nice.
You like him, don't you?
I know how it goes.
Women go crazy when they see a hot, single, straight guy.
Yeah, not easy to find.
But, darling...
personal life and work don't mix, okay?
Don't touch, it's art.
Don't worry.
Has Benjamin approved the video?
Nope, he's still depressed. Such a drag.
And my father-in-law? Who knows where he's gone.
You know what?
Let's just post the video, love love.
Lola doesn't wait.
Lola makes things happen.
Let's go...
Go ahead, post it.
Excuse me...
-Ramona. -I made the avocado smoothie
-you like. -Thanks, leave it there.
Mrs. Ana's recipe.
Ramona?
Did you watch the video?
-What video? -Okay... So you watched it.
Imagine if my mother were alive. How embarrassing.
Excuse me.
-Ramona. Good morning! -Good morning.
-Hey... -Did you find out
who was the son of a bitch that leaked the video?
The traced IP is from another country. This was done by a pro.
Damn, who's trying to screw me over like this?
-I'm about to lose it! -You've already lost it.
First the whip, and now you're Lola's little lapdog.
Look at this. Look.
I'm sure we'll come out of this stronger than we were.
Right? Right?
Anitta liked the post!
Does that mean we have a new Lolover?
You think so?
Lola!
At least he's out of bed.
Delete that crap!
Look, here comes the mutt. Zucka, go outside,
-I'll handle them. -Delete that crap!
I told you I needed to talk to my dad.
-Delete it! -You exposed Benjamin.
You went too far, he looks ridiculous.
What's ridiculous is you letting your friend get filmed.
I told you I needed my dad's approval.
-Is it that hard to listen? -It is.
It costs me my time, my looks, my name.
I could be working on my brand, but no. Why?
Because I was taking care of you!
-Look... -What do I get in return?
-Betrayal! -Lola...
Look, I'm done.
I'm tired of this unresolved thing between you.
Hold your horses, everyone knows where you came from. Hold on!
-Give me the phone. -No.
-Give it to me. -Stop!
-Grab her! -Take it.
-Are you holding me? -Give me that!
-Password? -I'm a woman!
-Password? Tell me! -Cowards!
You're hurting a woman!
-What's the password? -Password?
-I changed it. -What's the new one?
I changed it. It's "go to hell - one, two, three"
-Okay. -Respect!
-I'll get it. -You...
-What's this? -Break it!
-My phone! -Break that!
-What's going on? -Get out.
That's none of your business.
-Are you okay? -It's fine.
Go back inside. I can handle them!
I want to punch you, but I won't give you the pleasure.
-Listen up, little brat! -Calm down.
-Go inside. -This is your fault!
See the mess you made?
-My fault? -This is your fault!
-My fault? -Respect your stepdad, kid!
Relax, Benjamin. Calm down. You too, Lola.
Hey.
-What's with that face? -What?
Did something happen?
No.
Everything's fine.
Sure.
What's going on?
I'm a little confused...
I ran into someone I haven't seen in a long time.
Someone?
I bet it's a guy.
A childhood crush.
Sounds silly, right?
But he was the first guy I really liked.
If he makes you feel this way, it's not silly.
He's so handsome now...
different.
Yet he still has that same vibe, you know?
I never expected to feel this way again...
Who would've thought?
Modern girl on the outside, hopeless romantic on the inside.
Gabriel is in the past.
I love Alec.
He's the man of my life.
Sure, yeah.
Look, either way, there's always a spot at the bar.
If you want to quit your job
and hide from the hottie ghost, you're welcome.
-See you! -See you!
-What? -Okay, the steps are done...
-Alright. -Come...
-Careful, please. -Right this way.
-You... you really... -Careful here.
My God.
-What is happening? -Here, right this way.
Where is it? Let's go.
My eyes still here? Yeah...
My goodness!
You never fail to surprise me, girl!
It'll look great...
in your office, my love.
Is that me?
Yeah.
It's exactly how I see you.
Very expressive.
But my face is a bit uneven... Isn't it?
You know, I work with facial harmonization.
So, I have a very sharp, trained eye because of it.
You didn't like it?
You're an Argento. By blood. By roots.
Your mother was a... top painter.
Look at this painting. Just look at it.
Do you really think I can hang this
in my office?
-No... -Tell me...
You can't hang it...
-in your office. -Right.
I...
Well, you're right. It isn't perfect, is it?
-It's not. -No.
Because, well... I didn't have much time.
I didn't have much time, so...
You know, like Van Gogh... He created his masterpieces
and only gained fame after he passed away.
See? See, love? You're ahead of your time.
Well, I can fix it. Just a little touch-up...
-A touch-up on the side. -No. It's not a touch-up issue.
It's a total redo, honey.
Alright? Try a new one.
A new painting, okay?
I know you can do it, my beautiful painter.
Just a second.
-Doctor Átila? -Thank you.
What is this?
Gisela?
-Gisela, stop it! What happened? -What happened?
What happened, sweetie? Stop it, sweetie.
Calm down. Calm down, calm down, my love.
-Calm down. -Calm down.
Hey...
-Calm down. -I want to die. Please!
-No. -I want to die, like my mom. Please.
-Don't say that. -What happened, miss Gisela?
What happened is I made a painting.
I made a painting for Rog. He didn't like it.
The painting is horrible. He was right, dad.
It's alright. Calm down.
-It'll pass. -It hurts so bad.
-Breathe. -It hurts!
Son of a bitch!
Rog!
-What did you do to my daughter? -Dear father-in-law,
I tried to be honest with her.
-That's all. -Shut up.
You're a shitty surgeon,
but I don't keep reminding you of that.
-You're being unfair to me. -She's your wife.
Work it out with her.
If this happens again, you'll have to deal with me.
Excuse me.
Right there. Right there.
Any news about my Pelvis Perfect?
The machine arrived in Brazil. We have until tomorrow to pay.
-Excuse me. -Look who it is.
The missing Zucka.
Sorry, Lola.
I saw your husband was upset, so I went out for lunch.
You're so discreet. Why didn't you answer my calls?
You called me?
Yes, I did.
It was from an unknown number. I've got a new phone,
the old one got completely destroyed.
-What do you mean? -You didn't know?
It slipped out of my hand, walked around,
kept banging itself against the wall...
Don't ask stupid questions.
And don't forget, you're still on trial, sweetie. Got it?
From good to bad, that's me.
I'm sorry.
But I've got a quick way you can make it up to me.
You know I want to buy the Pelvis Perfect.
Aren't you friends with Carol?
That's great... So, talk to her.
She has a lot of influence over her granddad.
Okay, I'll talk to her.
It'll give you extra credit on your test.
Hey!
You've been trapped in Lola's dungeon, right?
Your aunt... Seriously... Geez...
Didn't I tell you she's the devil in pink heels?
-Will you give it up? -I can't, I need the job.
Actually, I need your help
-to win Lola's trust. -What do you mean?
-Pelvis Perfect. -No.
Your granddad doesn't approve the purchase.
I can't believe she asked you to convince me.
I can't believe it.
Carol, I don't understand the resistance.
The machine helps with menopause,
prevents several diseases.
-I know. -So?
But she wants to promote the cosmetic benefits.
She only cares about money. She's always been like this.
Carol, don't you think
your personal issues with Lola
are affecting your professionalism?
If you're looking for Carol, she's not here.
No, I'm not looking for Carol, I'm here for you.
This is an apology.
Your father-in-law and you
denied my surgery out of prejudice.
Do you think a gift will make up for that?
Look, Andrea,
after that, I went after you.
I spoke to your friend, Bel.
She mentioned you moved up your trip, but...
the truth is, I couldn't tell you what I wanted.
I was going to do your surgery against Átila's wishes.
I never
forgot what happened, and now,
out of nowhere, you've in my life again.
-I need to prepare for my class. -Look.
I respect what you're feeling.
How about we grab a coffee?
Maybe some wine later?
Hey, what's up with you and that phone?
And you complain about me!
PEDRO, 30
Mom's online?
There's no way there's not a single
decent guy in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
Check this one out.
"I liked your hair better when it was long".
And this guy? "I live with my mom!"
-No. -He never wears a shirt.
-Always bare-chested! -Poor guy.
-Yeah... -Should we start
a clothing drive for him?
-Let's do it. -But he's cute.
Only you could make me laugh.
Why?
What's up?
My ex-fiancé is back.
Yeah. I met him.
-Really? -At your house, with Lola.
-Did he ask about me? -No.
No?
No, it was too quick. There wasn't enough time.
CADU, 29 PERFECT MATCH – YOU & CADU
Perfect match!
-I gotta go. -He's handsome.
Let's see if he's worth it.
Go.
Have fun! He doesn't need to be worth it.
Go get him!
I don't need you to drive me home. You're free to go.
Have a good rest, doctor.
Hey.
Everything ready for tonight.
I'll be there in 30.
Good evening. I brought a pie to celebrate.
I finally got a job.
-I didn't know you were coming. -I wanted to surprise you.
My love!
Give it to me.
No, don't do that! Dessert before dinner?
-Come on! -Honey?
Relax, I'll have salad for dessert.
I'm glad you're here.
I'll put it in the fridge.
It's really hot today.
Wow, I missed this food, guys.
The food's always here, you need to show up.
And how's the new job? Tell me.
It's okay. It's okay.
I'm still on trial, though, I need to prove to myself.
What are you doing? Where?
I'm managing the social media for a company.
Excuse me, guys. I need to take this.
Hey, Nara.
How's it going?
Okay, tomorrow at nine.
Can you send me the address?
Lola's phone mirroring is busted, okay?
-She's got a new one. -Do I need to do it again?
No.
It's not a good idea.
Viviane is all over me.
Come on, Alec...
I don't want things to be this way.
I miss you.
I miss you too.
What about that rich guy, Sofia?
Does he still get to you?
Haven't you ever had a childhood crush?
I did, and I still do.
I'm not giving up on you, okay?
That's good.
I'm not giving up on you either.
I'm sorry,
are we interrupting?
Not at all. How's it going?
This is Cadu.
Hey, what's up?
And you?
Are you sticking around?
My mom insisted. I didn't have a choice.
If you want, I can...
-Me? -Yeah...
No, no, it's all good with me.
I doubt you'll last here long without clashing with Lola.
I might be at a hotel by tomorrow.
We're going to my bedroom.
What's up?
Thanks.
Alright.
-Here. The money. -Thanks.
-Wish I could give more,
but I'm running out of cash.
Lying to that woman was kind of fun.
But
this game of yours...
A fake name could land you in jail,
and jail isn't where you belong.
Your mom wouldn't want that.
Tell me about her.
Did she talk about me?
Cléo only had one topic.
You.
I miss her so much, you know?
I keep thinking that our lives would've been so different
if she hadn't died in the prison.
We would've been so much happier
if we hadn't come here to that criminal's home.
Be careful with that woman.
Think about your mom.
How she wanted you to be happy.
I'm doing this for her, Nara.
I'm not one to offer advice or moral lectures,
but...
I thought I was clever once too.
Look where that got me.
No one wants to hire an ex-con.
I'll give you Mariana's number, she's my friend.
She'll get you a job as a kitchen assistant.
Don't worry.
-Let me see. -Look at that, look!
Let's go.
What's this?
-Where are you going? -Come with me.
With you?
-For God's sake! -Let's go!
Technology, right?
Is anybody home?
-Hey... -Hey.
Who are you?
I'm Sofia's mom. And I know my daughter.
She's been different since you showed up.
What's that got to do with me?
What did you put in her head?
-What? -You should ask her.
Listen, my kids mean the world to me.
They're my everything. I feel...
Sofia's in danger.
Look...
our hearts are about to burst in our chests. Please.
I'm Cléo's friend, from prison.
And she died in the riot,
it was not an accident.
It was Lola.
Lola ordered Sofia's mom to be killed.
What a nice life.
Just sitting around while you mess things up...
What have I done now?
I told you to shut up, remember?
Before you lecture him,
could you help me out, father-in-law?
I'm trapped here.
-Thanks. -I tried to warn you,
but you disappeared without telling anyone.
-This isn't about me. -The video worked.
Okay? Brazil forgave me.
You should congratulate me, I got out of the mess on my own,
I didn't need anyone's help.
-Well, except Lola's. -Sure.
It's incredible. You never trust me.
At the first chance, you replaced me with Tomás.
Because Tomás is a serious doctor, unlike you.
You know what? I'm done.
Fuck this shit.
Keep your golden boy, I'll make my way without you.
-You're just upset. -What?
I've thought about this a thousand times.
I'm done with it, I'm gonna make it without you, dad.
More family drama?
I think you could go easier on Benja, and on me too, no?
After everything I've been through...
you're refusing a machine that that honors the sacred feminine.
-Not this again, Lola. -Yeah...
Grandpa, actually, I did some research,
and Pelvis Perfect is about more than aesthetics.
Maybe we should give it a shot and...
buy the machine.
How's it going?
Good.
It's hot today.
Let me help you. Here you go.
I'm sorry.
I bet all this nervousness comes from working for Lola.
Your mom is hilarious.
You can be honest. I know what kind of mom I have.
She's intense, right?
Hard to figure out sometimes.
You're mysterious too.
-Me? -Yeah, you.
How long have you lived in Rio?
I feel like we've bumped into each other before.
It's your impression... I don't go out very often.
Same here.
How about we catch a movie sometime?
I don't think we should mix things up.
Excuse me.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
So tell me...
about your family, are they from Rio?
My friends are my family,
-it's a sensitive topic for me. -I understand.
But what about São Paulo? Tell me, how was it?
-Was everything alright? -Amazing.
I used my time to focus on and made some extra money.
I'm a workaholic.
Carol keeps telling me I should work less.
My friends say the same.
They keep telling me to work less so I can have more time
to find a boyfriend.
But to be honest, I feel detached.
Alone in life.
Alone in life?
I doubt you were ever alone in São Paulo.
I said alone in life.
Not dead.
What about you? Doesn't your wife mind
you coming home so late?
No, actually... actually, I'm not married.
You're not? What's that ring on your finger?
Márcia, Carol's mom... she...
she disappeared.
She was kidnapped
a long time ago.
It's a tough subject, but
I'll tell you everything
when the time is right,
I promise.
Okay?
Okay.
ÁTILA ARGENTO PLASTIC SURGERY CLINIC
Don't worry. I'm packing my things,
you won't have to look at my face anymore.
You can hand the clinic over to Tomás like you've always wanted.
I want to give you a chance, Benjamin.
You're my son, my only son.
You can make mistakes, argue with me, offend me,
but you're my son.
I don't want to see you away from here.
This clinic is yours.
Listen to your father.
Watch out for people like Rog.
And control your wife.
Get ready, Lolovers,
the big day has arrived!
And we're ready!
Look at my girls!
We're all here today!
Today's the grand opening of the sensation,
the one and only,
the Pelvis Perfect!
To kick things off, let's welcome
the big giveaway winner, Mrs... Over here!
Mrs. Arinete! Wonderful!
Thank you.
-Thank you. -Tell us, tell us more.
Are you excited to give your little Lola a little makeover?
-Yes... So excited! -Yeah?
I got divorced last year.
Now, at 61, I'm hooking up with a 30-year-old guy.
That's so hot!
Am I going to be a virgin again?
But who's really out here trying to be a virgin again?
You never know...
Don't worry, honey. Look...
with our Pelvis Perfect...
you, darling, are gonna trade a 30-year-old for 5 20-year-olds!
-I can't handle that, no way. -Yes, you can!
Yes, you can! Yes, you can!
-Yes, you can! -What an adventure!
So, let's go? Hold on.
-Come here. -Let's go.
Come here so the Lolovers can see you!
Three, two, one...
go!
-Lola, Lola, Lola! -Me, me, me!
-Lola, Lola, Lola!
-Me, me, me!
Girls!
The little Lolas in town are freaking out.
Excuse me.
Mrs. Lola, Mr. Rog is here.
Rog?
Tell him to come in.
-Excuse, I need to make a call. -Relax your little Lola, Julia. Jesus!
Hello, hello.
I've already heard the new machine is a hit.
What are you doing here, Rog? Suck the joy out of us?
My goodness!
Is that how you greet your favorite brother-in-law?
I forgot to introduce you.
This is my media manager, Julia.
-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you too.
My loves, you can go now.
Rog came to ask for a loan
and he's too shy to do it in front of you.
Excuse me.
You used to be nicer to me, Lola.
Speak up or leave.
I want to take some photos of your Pelvis Perfect
to offer the service at my clinic.
I have no intention of renting it out.
I'll send my clients your way and take a 40 percent cut.
The line's already long,
and I don't need you. Twenty-five percent tops.
Take it or leave it.
I'll take it.
Hey, girl, I've been looking for you.
-I have nothing to say to you. -What's with the attitude?
You come to my office, go to the House of Yes,
and now you pretend you don't know me?
I don't want Lola to know I went to your party.
You don't? Why?
Because I'm embarrassed.
Lucky for you, I don't like your boss,
you better stay sharp.
Alright, my turn. A dream?
A dream?
That's difficult.
Let me think.
To become a better doctor every day,
raise my daughter,
and when the time comes, take over my father-in-law's clinic.
That's three, isn't it? But it's fine.
Your turn now. You can tell me three too...
Well...
I want to grow my studio.
Get my art recognized...
That's for sure!
And,
I don't know... I want to find my prince charming.
Did I hear that right?
Prince charming?
Weren't you the one that was detached?
That's until I find someone worth attaching to, right?
Another drink?
No.
I mean,
I can't.
We've been here for a long time...
-I lost track of time... -Really?
I've got surgery in the morning.
That's a shame.
But next time I...
I'll accept.
Consider it an invitation.
And thank you...
for lunch, for the drink,
for the company,
and for all the conversation. I...
I loved it.
Me too.
Wake up, sleeping beauty
Rog's got a present for his lady,
the most beautiful thing in my life.
I don't want to argue, Rog.
Whoa, who said anything about arguing? Here.
Here, this is for you.
Jesus...
-Come on. -Look at this.
Look at this.
Look!
-Look. -Where did you find these?
They don't sell these in Brazil.
They were super expensive.
But I'd pay double, even triple, just to see that smile.
-You're so beautiful. -My love...
But... sometimes you're really mean to me.
-You don't love me? -That's ridiculous.
What? Of course I love you.
I love you so much. But...
I just don't want you to get hurt.
-That's all. -Well, I'm already hurt.
I wish I could be more affectionate...
Sometimes I mess up, you know?
I don't know, life...
life made me tough. I...
Honey,
I love you just the way you are.
Because you are amazing. You...
are so generous, I...
I want to make sure you never give up on your dream.
Never give up on it because...
In my family, no one ever did anything like this for me.
They never encouraged me. Right?
Ever.
Don't let your dad get in your head. Don't let him.
It's just you and me. Together...
forever.
-Forever? -Forever.
Forever.
My beautiful thing!
Look, I even had your name engraved on this...
-On the paintbrush! -On the paintbrush.
-I can't believe it! -Right?
-You put my name on it! -Your name.
Look...
At the beginning... the G...
-and the A. -I love you!
I love you so much too... You are...
I'm completely in love with you.
-Thank you, my love. -Right?
Well, if you compare this price,
-and this, you'll see... -Yes.
-It's... -Yeah.
-Worth it, right? -Let's give it a try.
What?
What's that smell?
I can't smell anything...
Marlene!
My love,
the whole clinic smells like roast beef.
I swear, just from the smell, I've gained five pounds.
I'm sorry, Miss Lola.
I told you not to heat food in the microwave.
-Will I eat it cold, Miss Lola? -Have a salad, okay?
No smell, and it's fitness. Especially at this hour, right?
Trust me, okay?
You're fighting the wrong person.
Can you elaborate?
Julia isn't trustworthy.
I saw her talking to Rog.
They were discussing the House of Yes.
I wish you were here with me.
-I miss you too. -Really?
I love it when you say that.
Beautiful!
Where's your friend?
-Not here... -Really?
-I'll call you back. -Kisses.
Kisses.
Lola?
Only you could get me to come all the way to Lapa, girl!
This neighborhood is full of bandits. It suits you.
You think you're pretty clever?
Did you think you could pull one over on me?
That I wouldn't catch you?
What have I done?
Don't play innocent with me. I'll rip that mask off you.
I know everything. Got it?
I know you asked for Rog to get breast implants.
I know about the House of Yes.
I don't know how you fooled Carol, poor thing.
-Calm down. -Calm down? No, I'm totally calm.
Look at me, I'm chill.
The one who should be nervous is you.
You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into.
I have an idea.
I know you really well.
I did all of this...
to get closer to you.
Stop your crying.
Why are you stalking me?
Speak up.
You're...
the person I admire the most in the world.
I envy you.
You came from nothing, just like me.
Look where you've gotten, Lola.
Look at who you are. You're what I've always wanted to be.
You're stunning.
Talented, smart...
Stop buttering me up.
-It was you. -What?
Of course it was you.
You're the one who recorded and leaked
-Benjamin's video, you bitch! -No, no, I didn't do that!
No way, the place is monitored...
-I was frisked. -Enough! Enough!
Listen, you need to explain yourself properly
because I didn't come here to hear lies.
Okay.
You want the truth, right?
Alright, here it is.
Rog invited me to the party.
I thought it was a good opportunity.
But when he...
got closer to me,
I felt so disgusted.
I ran to the restroom, where I bumped into you.
Do you remember I lent you a lipstick?
I don't know if you'll recall,
but I froze.
I was caught off guard.
I'd never seen you up close like that.
You're clever, aren't you?
Fearless.
You schemed to get here, Julia.
I did.
Yes, I admit it.
But if I had knocked on your door,
I doubt you would have opened it for me.
You wouldn't have answered.
Lola...
I'm sorry.
-Stop it. -I'm sorry. Please.
Stop being so clingy!
You know, at your age...
I was just like you.
Ambitious, bold.
-You're hired. -What?
I don't usually give second chances.
But I...
I don't know, I...
I like your spirit. I really do.
You've got guts.
But listen up.
Just learn one thing.
If you try to deceive me,
I will end you.
Got it?
