ABSOLUTE
Well,
I've called you here because something serious has happened.
And when things get this serious,
what do we need?
The support of those we love
and the people we trust, right?
You were all at my birthday party,
and you knew about the tribute video.
You all knew what was going to happen.
You all saw what happened.
It breaks my heart to say this,
but the person spreading these lies about me
is someone from here,
-from the Lolaland family. -No, Mrs. Lola...
Silence! I'm not done yet.
You all
know how generous I am,
don't you?
I'm giving whoever betrayed me
a chance to come forward.
So?
Going once,
going twice...
Mrs. Lola, no one here means you any harm. We love you.
Marlene, I wish I could believe that, I really do...
But it's impossible!
The enemy is among us.
And worse, it's one of you... I'm sure of it.
No one's going to step up?
Alright then.
Unfortunately,
I'm going to have to cut everyone's bonus this month.
-No! -My God...
Guys, I really hate that I have to do this,
but I see no other choice.
You can count on it.
I'm going to find out who betrayed me.
Mark my words.
SCARS OF BEAUTY
Let's work! I'm not down. We've got rounds ahead.
That's the spirit!
That's how you do it, you'll always be an inspiration.
Don't give me that toxic positivity,
because you're also a suspect.
-You're quite suspicious. -Me?
-I'd not do a thing against you. -You've lied to me before.
Are you in cahoots with that little devil of Sofia?
-I... -Spill it out!
-Lola, I... I... -Say it without blinking.
Look me in the eye and say it.
-I don't even know who Sofia is. -Don't lie to me.
I'm not lying to you.
I swear I'm not lying to you.
Get out of my office.
Go, go, go!
Find something else to do.
Move. Get lost. Get out.
Thirsty?
Geez... Do you show up every time I drink water?
-Is Lola in there? -She's really upset.
She's been avoiding me since the party...
She's in a meeting with Viviane.
Do you want to wait?
No... I...
I want a drink.
Are you in?
You did a great job scolding your little darling.
I'm not in the mood for jealousy.
I'm not jealous, Lola.
Since she came into your life, everything started to go wrong.
You know why everything's going wrong?
Because you don't do anything right. It's your fault.
By the way, did you find the bastard who sent the link
-with the virus to the DJ? -No.
I hired a top hacker who worked with me in the police,
he didn't find it.
Since when do top hackers
work at that dingy police station you came from, Vivi?
I want the best in Brazil, world, and galaxy.
-Do I have to teach you? -Watch it.
-I don't like how you're talking. -Really?
Are you hurt?
Wake up.
That little devil is after me.
If I go down, you're going down with me.
Search the whole city. Dig through every nook and cranny.
Hire the best professionals. No, not the best. The worst.
We need people who can play dirty.
I want that witch in my hands.
Are you really going back to Ribeirão Preto?
My life is there, right?
But I'll clear some things up before I go.
What things?
What happened at the party. The video with photos, the doll.
That was all a message for my mom, but
also for me.
What do you mean?
Sofia.
That's the name of the person who did that.
A girl I knew when I was a kid. The daughter of my mom's cousin.
-Were you two friends? -We were more than friends.
She was my first love.
Do you still think about her?
Crazy, right?
We had this unreal connection,
even though we were just kids.
And what happened?
Her mom killed my dad.
Tragic.
After that, Sofia was gone. I never saw her again.
When I got older,
I tried to find her in her hometown, but
she wasn't there.
She really left a mark on you, right?
More than I left on her, it seems.
Well, only Sofia can answer that.
I have to go.
Excuse me.
Damn it.
Lola,
stop running away. Let's have a serious talk.
What is it?
Relationship talk? I'm not interested, okay?
But if you want something else, you know...
I'm so stressed.
I really need
to blow off some steam,
Everyone's talking about your video.
-They called you a murderer... -So what?
If they called you impotent, does it mean you are?
Though you have been turning me down.
It was that Sofia girl, right?
The daughter of the cousin you put behind bars...
No, I didn't put her in jail.
She killed my husband.
-She slept with him. -Lola,
are you still playing this game with me, love?
I know it was you who killed Rubem.
-Admit it. -A thousand times no.
I loved my husband.
Who was investigating the case you were involved in...
It was a coincidence. What can I do?
-Coincidence. -Okay.
What's the problem?
I see.
You're afraid I'm what?
A black widow?
A woman who goes around killing her husbands?
Watch out, okay?
Watch out, you might be next.
I don't see what's so funny.
-That's delicious. -If that girl's back,
she's after us, wanting revenge.
My dad's finally giving me a shot, after all.
I'm not letting your crap ruin everything.
Hey...
Sorry, I'm late.
I got caught up in a meeting with the bosses.
With the bosses?
I got promoted...
To senior financial consultant. I'm the only one under thirty.
I never doubted you.
You're a genius, Alec.
I'm really proud of you.
And how are you?
Well...
Lola's losing it.
Now she knows that the girl she abused hasn't forgotten it.
Sofia, I asked about you, not about Lola.
I thought you called so we'd move past that stupid argument.
I brought wine for us to celebrate.
You're the most important person in my life.
That's why I don't want you to get hurt.
But you're right.
It's not fair to you.
This has to come from me.
It's better if we end things.
Are you sure this is what you want?
Sofia, we're happy together. I love you.
You were right.
All I can think of is Lola's revenge.
It's taking over my mind, driving me crazy.
I have no room for anything else.
So you're giving up love for revenge?
Okay.
Don't think it's easy for me.
But it's what I need to do.
I know I did the right thing, but...
But it's hard.
It's hard. That's why doing the wrong thing is easier.
Yeah...
You still don't realize you like Gabriel, do you?
What, Mariana? Are you trying to confuse
me more than I already am?
For God's sake! I love Alec.
I love his smile, I love his way of being.
I love everything we've built together.
-And Gabriel? -Gabriel's in the past.
He said he still thinks about me.
I mean, about Sofia.
Why don't you tell him the truth?
Are you crazy?
He's Lola's son. What do you want me to say?
"Hey, Gabriel, how's it going? Hi, I'm Sofia.
By the way, I forged an ID to get revenge on your mom."
Mariana...
I still don't understand why you sent her the doll..
Same here. I didn't think it through.
I did what my heart told me.
I wanted to see Lola's face, the desperation,
hate, anger, all that monster made me suffer.
I want her to never have a peaceful day in her life.
To never sleep again.
Now she knows it's me who's haunting her...
The mistreated and humiliated girl,
who lost her mother because of her.
Be careful.
You're smart, but Lola's a snake.
She'll come after you.
She won't because she doesn't know where I am.
Last time she saw me was at the orphanage,
but I managed to escape with Lino and Elvira.
She has no idea where I could be.
If I were in the computer, we could just search, but...
What's her full name?
-Sofia Fernandes. -Sofia Fernandes?
Sofia Fernandes. Sofia Fernandes.
Sofia Fernandes...
Found her.
Is this the girl?
She was admitted on September 22nd,
but there's no exit date.
Does it say if she was adopted?
The record's incomplete.
The place was a mess when Mrs. Wilminha was in charge.
Thank God I wasn't here then. I came after that.
Wilminha?
The former director, retired now.
Do you know where I can find her?
Only driver and cashier jobs open.
-Yeah? -Geez...
-It's open! -Come in!
-Hi. -Sweetheart!
What a nice surprise!
Your mom's making the little pasties you love.
Alec's at work, which is the best for him.
He's heartbroken. Poor guy.
I didn't come to talk to Alec.
So, you're here for Lino? We have nothing to discuss.
Come on, for God's sake.
This should cover the rent for the past three months.
-Thank you... -No one wants your money.
-What? -We don't want it.
-What's this about? -What?
You don't have to do this.
This is my first payment, I want to help.
Payment? From that "Lolo-land"?
The place you only joined to get revenge on that devil?
-What kind of payment is that? -I won't argue...
Doesn't seem like it. My son told me everything...
That you caused a scene and sent her the doll.
You've lost it. Let me tell you something.
Anything cooked with hatred always leaves a bitter taste.
-You just don't understand. -No, no, no.
I don't understand, I don't agree.
Hate is the worst feeling there is.
Remember the officer I gave Rebecca's phone to?
Viviane? Of course.
Who vanished in the middle of the investigation.
-What about her? -Yes.
Viviane left the police to work for Lola.
She was paid off to bury Rebecca's case.
Lola married a famous surgeon,
Benjamin Argento,
who works with a Doctor named Rog.
Lola was his
secretary years ago.
What are you talking about, Sofia?
The people who killed my mom
and the ones responsible for Becca's death
are all connected.
They're free,
rich, and unpunished.
They've united
and paid off the police to escape justice.
Do you understand me now?
Do you see why, one way or another, I want justice?
These enzymes are going to make it better.
In a week... No, not a week,
ten days at most.
You'll be looking great, you'll see. Come on.
Why don't we just get plastic surgery already?
I mean, why not change everything all at once, right?
I...
I want to look beautiful for you.
Hey, hey... I think you're beautiful.
Look at me, the most beautiful lady!
What's this about?
But if you want to get surgery, let's do it.
I want to see you happy...
That's what matters... Seeing you happy, your smile.
I'm just so tired.
Tired of what?
You spend your days at home, sleeping, painting.
Do you want to switch places with me?
Let's go. Let's fix that pretty face.
Everyone's worried about you.
Be careful. What are they going to say next?
That Rog doesn't take care of his own wife?
Look here.
I do take care of you.
Look. Look here, my love.
Smile for me, that's it.
Here...
No. No. No.
Don't cry.
Don't cry, please.
For God's sake, don't cry.
Just relax, relax. I'm here with you.
Rog's going to take care of you... Breathe, that's it.
Just like I taught you, breathe, okay?
Rog's going to look after you.
Rog won't let anyone hurt you, okay?
Rog takes care of you.
Trust me, baby.
Trust me.
Do you believe in me?
Tears is nothing
when you find your love.
What is love?
Love is me
-and... You. -You.
Love is...
-Me. -Me.
-and... You. -You.
Now more than ever, I need your support.
You can see it, can't you?
They're trying to tear down Lola's world.
But we won't let them! Together, we're unstoppable!
-We... -I want to talk to the owner.
What? Does my guardian angel never catch a break?
-This looks like a fight. -Get out!
-Let's see. -Get out!
-Stop. -Call someone,
I want to talk to the owner.
-Calm down... -Get out.
Now. I want to talk to the owner of this place!
-Mrs. Arinete. -I want to.
-Calm down. -My God.
Marlene, what's happening?
Mrs. Arinete is here for her second Pelvis Perfect's session,
-but she's complaining. -Of course I am.
Yes. I'm in pain, I'm burnt, I'm raw.
The machine heated up without a warning.
No, honey... It's normal to feel a little...
-discomfort. -Normal? Normal?
Look at this. Look.
Do you think this is normal? Look closely.
-Are you looking? -Let me take you to my office...
Don't touch me! Don't touch me!
I'm going to sue you! I will...
-And you too... -Me?
I'm suing this entire dump!
I'll be asking for damages if I can't use my... you know what.
Dump!
Damn it.
Don't you think you should go after her?
No, I don't. I tried to talk. She wouldn't listen.
I can't stand rude, grumpy people... I don't care.
Just a second!
Andrea...
I need to know what's going on,
what I did wrong for you to stop answering me.
If you think you did nothing wrong,
you can leave, Tomás. And we stop wasting our time.
Is this about Lola's party?
I... never thought you'd want to go to an event
hosted by one of the most insufferable people I've met.
-Are you serious? -I am.
Because in my mind, I'm protecting you from them.
Tomás, behind these doors, you kiss, desire me, charm me.
Yet, in front of others, you act like you don't know me?
-No. That's not it. -I'm out.
I'm not that person. Look, I really like you.
When I'm around you, I feel happy, I feel good, lighter.
I really like you.
Do you know what's going on?
I've been through this so many times.
I'm tired.
If you really wanted me,
that day at the party, you would have stayed with me.
I got all flustered. I got nervous when I saw you.
Carol was right there.
Tomás, just go away.
And don't worry, I won't tell your daughter
-how well you know me. -That's not it.
Carol thinks that her mom,
-might still be alive... -Enough.
I don't want to hear about your ex or your trauma.
You know what you should do?
Hire a therapist.
They can help you.
Can we just end this? I can't do this anymore.
Okay.
If that's what you want,
I respect that.
Okay.
And close the door.
Can we talk now,
-or will you run away? -No...
I'm in my beauty moment
-right now, Gabriel. -Can you at least
-take off the mask to talk? -No!
I need to take care of myself.
Do you understand?
I can't stop thinking about that party... that damn party.
Sorry.
I'm sorry. You have nothing to do with this.
Come here, come here.
Lay down here with mommy.
Turn this off for me. Here.
That's it.
Hey, mom... That doll...
Why did Sofia do that to you?
How should I know what's going on in her crazy head?
I guess Scarface turned sadistic or something.
But calling you a murderer is extreme.
Why would she call you that? I can't stop thinking about it.
Alright, Gabriel, I think you want to talk.
You want me to tell you the truth,
-is that it? -Of course...
Fine, I'll tell you.
Do you remember when Sofia ran away from home like a lunatic?
I remember asking, you didn't tell me.
To protect you, my son. You were so little.
So, Sofia went to jail to visit her mom.
Then Cléo, trying to play innocent, fabricated a lie.
She said I killed your dad. Can you believe that?
-You? -Yeah...
She didn't want to admit to the girl that she was a killer,
so she invented this nonsensical story.
And who do you think the girl believed?
Her mom, right?
She grew up hating me,
convinced it was all my fault.
So
that's why she's never looked for me?
Yeah.
I think that girl is angry with you.
Why did you never look for her to tell you were innocent?
Where am I supposed to find that girl?
Is there a lost-and-found for criminals? No, right?
Listen, you'd better not go looking for her.
Okay?
Who knows who she's mixed up with?
-Probably with a thug. -I'm not scared.
No, but I am, Pom-pom...
I'm scared of losing you,
my little one.
I think you should go back to Ribeirão Preto.
What?
You were the one who wanted me here...
But that was before the psycho started lurking around.
I already bought your ticket,
okay? Look at me.
You're going to do this for your mom.
Got it?
Let's go.
Ms. Julia.
Sorry to interrupt, Lola.
But it's urgent.
Spill it, Julia.
Spill it.
Mrs. Arinete, the winner of the
-Pelvis Perfect giveaway. -What about her?
Lolaland is a dump,
a total dump!
And Lola is just a flashy diva.
-Forget it. -I'm going to sue that witch!
Only two things go viral on the internet,
pretty people and funny people.
Mrs. Arinete is neither.
Yeah, but it's going viral. You really should respond.
Grandpa, you're happy?
Yeah...
I discovered this type of music a while ago, I'm into it.
-Well... -Isn't that how you say it?
Hey...
What's with that face?
There's no escaping this. What if that woman sues us?
Alright, Benjamin, you win.
You and your standard employee
have ruined my Saturday!
Have you seen what they're saying
about you on the internet?
It's just slander, dear father-in-law.
You can relax. Forget about it, okay?
-Forget about it. -Yeah?
It sounds pretty serious to me.
As usual, you're against me, aren't you, feminist?
-Where's the sisterhood? -What's the problem in Lolaland?
Is it the team?
The machines? The management?
Do you think I'm the problem too, dear father-in-law?
Right?
I'll tell you, I need to take a salt bath,
his is getting overwhelming.
Lola, answer, don't play the victim.
I'm not playing the victim. I am an idiot.
Do you know how much
Lolaland made last month?
Four times more than the month before.
You know how much ended up in my pocket?
-A miserable 40 percent. -What's that got to do with it?
I'm busting my ass, and no one here seems to recognize it.
Enough is enough.
I'm done. I'm just...
Tired.
Tired of carrying stones for the pharaoh to build pyramids.
It's simple. If there are complaints, there's a problem.
We want to know what happened.
All I want is to solve the problems.
Guys, this is my name.
It's my image.
I was just talking to Julia, wasn't I?
Look...
father-in-law... I'll look into everything thoroughly.
I'll talk to the suppliers,
I'll check on Pelvis Perfect, and everything will be fine.
I want to see the purchase documentation for the machine.
Send it to my email. We'll analyze it together now.
But of course...
I'll... send it on Monday, and it will all be resolved.
It can't wait.
Viviane is the one who handles this, you know?
I'm not the type to exploit employees on their days off.
Today is Saturday. You know how justice works.
It always protects the employee,
putting the employer at a disadvantage.
Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
I'll have it by Monday.
And cancel all the appointments
with Pelvis Perfect.
Let me see that picture again.
That scar...
It has to be her.
A nun was there,
saying she would take the girl to her family.
She even had documents.
They turned out to be fake. I only realized that later.
A nun took the girl?
Nun my foot! She had her nails all painted.
I suspect
she and her accomplice were a couple of crooks.
They ran off with the girl in a Beetle.
My employee saw it.
It was a blue Beetle.
A blue Beetle...
Lino, I can't stop thinking about what she told me.
Me neither. I don't know what to think.
I'm so angry. Just overwhelmed with rage.
Look at me.
Let's not focus on those kinds of feelings.
Why not?
You know why.
I won't leave Sofia alone in this. I won't.
The most precious thing in my life, besides Hamlet,
is you all, my family.
I'd do anything for Sofia. Anything.
Anything.
And I'll do anything to keep Sofia away from that Lola.
Where are you, Viviane?
Look, things went south with Átila.
He's trying to play Sherlock Holmes
and is on my case. Call me back ASAP.
What's this? Will you give me a heart attack?
I want to know the truth. What are you up to?
Me? Nothing.
I'm just curious. And you? What are you up to?
You think I didn't notice
how you got nervous when my dad asked about
-Pelvis Perfect paperwork? -You should worry about
more important things.
Like me... your cute wife.
Beautiful, perfumed.
I'm serious.
You don't like the fruit anymore?
-I'm not buying that... -But you bought it, years ago.
And the exchange policy was 30 days,
so you can't return me now.
What do you want? A little whip action?
Do you? What about some finger play?
-Look... -Some finger play?
I've always had your back.
-Look. -I've defended you
to my family, to Rog,
to my dad, to everyone. How many times?
But if you're scheming behind my back, Lola...
-What are you going to do? What? -Behind my back?
Don't come at me with your alpha male nonsense.
I can handle your old man,
but a husband who turns me down and pretends to be tough?
That's not going to fly.
Andrea?
What a coincidence!
We met at Lola's party, remember me? That's me.
-Of course, of course. -Look!
Do you live nearby?
No, I was just passing by and saw you here.
At this time?
Okay, I confess. I confess. You...
mentioned at the party that you worked and lived around
so I
wanted to see you again. How about a drink? We could...
-So, Roger... -It's Rog.
-Rog... -Yeah, Rog...
-Sorry. -No worries.
So, Rog, I have a class now,
and then I have so many other things to do.
And tomorrow?
Tomorrow?
Tomorrow I...
Look, I'm sorry, but we don't even know each other.
But we will.
I'm sure we'll get to know each other really well.
You'll give me your number...
I'm sure... Come on, go ahead.
What?
What's going on?
-Bye. -Bye.
I liked that.
Hi, dad.
Hey, my love.
Going to the swimming pool?
-Great. Such a beautiful day! -I don't think so.
My face is still a bit marked,
it's a bit swollen.
You look beautiful.
You say that because you're my dad.
No, that's not true.
You've always been beautiful. You, your mom and your sister.
The most beautiful women I've ever seen.
I'm worried about you.
What happened at the party?
You know you're sick, sweetie.
Sick?
Since when is taking care of my appearance
-considered a sickness? -When it's excessive.
When it affects your mental health.
When it leads to body dysmorphia.
What?
-Yep. -You're overreacting, dad.
Rog is taking care of me.
Rog is just feeding your obsession.
Obsession? Rog loves me... There's no obsession at all.
He's the only one here who really cares about me.
I want to be alone. Can you please leave my room?
Not this one...
I'm glad you're here so I can say goodbye.
Time went by so quickly! Your mom must be really upset.
It's the first time she wants me to stay away.
Because of... Sofia?
Did you talk to Lola about her?
I did, but it just left me more confused.
-I won't upset you with it. -No, come on.
I want to know.
Sure?
Sofia's mom told her that Lola killed my dad,
that she was unjustly imprisoned.
Do you think that could be true?
Of course not, but
she was a kid. She believed her mom. Obviously.
Every story has two sides, doesn't it?
Yeah...
All I want to know is where Sofia is,
how she's doing.
You know?
I have no idea where to look for her.
I don't know how to start.
At least this trip wasn't a total waste.
I met you.
Julia, if you want, I...
I'll stay in Rio.
What?
Yeah.
Well, because...
you feel something for me too... Don't you?
Cut it out, Gabriel.
Seriously.
Your life is in Ribeirão Preto.
Julia!
Can't you hear me?
Just keep walking. Keep walking, but slowly.
Have you heard the voice of the sea in a seashell?
RIO+TAXIS
ELECTRONIC TICKET SDU - RAO
Every story has two sides, doesn't it?
Turn around, please. I'm going to Barra da Tijuca.
POLICE INQUIRY
THE COMPLAINANTS RESIDE
AT 892 BRAQUE STREET, CACHAMBI, RIO DE JANEIRO
They're free,
rich, and unpunished.
Do you understand me now?
Do you see why, one way or another, I want justice?
My love?
Is everything okay?
I had a bad feeling.
I'll help you.
Kick it this way.
Aren't you going to invite me in?
-It's another! -Your turn, go.
Calm down, son. Take it slow.
-Five, ten. -Five, ten. Jump ten.
-Jump ten... -Ten, ten, ten.
-Ten or five. -One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven.
-Pay ten? Pay ten!
When you stop at a house where you have to pay...
-Here, look. -Seven, no way.
-Two. -One, two, three, four,
-five, six, seven. -Look...
I won't take long.
I want to know about Sofia Fernandes. Where is she?
What are you talking about?
I went to the orphanage. I know you took the girl.
Let's be honest, Elvira. We took her, yes.
Kidnapped.
You broke the law.
You can call it whatever you want.
The problem is she didn't want to stay with us.
-She ran away. -Really?
She took off... we haven't seen her since.
-Right. -Wait a minute. This isn't a mad house!
This isn't a mad house!
Lino, get this woman out of my house. Now.
Lino? Get out of my house! Lino, get her out of my house!
-Enough. -Get out of my house.
-Get out. -Now!
Let me do my job so nobody gets hurt.
Get out of my way, both of you.
-Go, go, go. -Calm down.
Calm down.
-That bitch. -I hid
-the photos. -I saw.
This is our bedroom, alright?
I will find her. Sooner or later.
Who killed my daughter? Did you find out?
Or did they pay you off to leave the police?
Let go of me! I'm not afraid of her!
Shoot, you miserable!
-Shoot! -Elvira, stop.
-Let me go. Shoot! -Let her go.
-Babe, let her go. -You witch!
You witch!
Sit down, calm down, calm down.
Take it easy.
Got a minute?
Lady, I'm not looking for any trouble.
Neither am I.
As soon as I mentioned that I was a court officer,
they erupted into chaos. I couldn't say a thing.
-You here to evict the Paixão? -No, not at all.
I'm looking for Sofia, do you know her?
She's their adopted daughter.
Never heard of her.
What a shame.
She has an inheritance waiting for her,
and they're my only connection.
An inheritance?
Yeah.
She left this neighborhood not long ago,
but she grew up here.
She used to
play ball and destroy my rose bushes. Troublemaker.
Are you sure this is the right girl?
Yeah, that's definitely her.
They took her in when she was a kid.
Where I can find her?
-Hey, Elvira. -So, so...
-No. -Viviane...
-Calm down. -Viviane's looking for you.
-Speak slowly. -Viviane
-was here looking for you. -Viviane?
-Yep. -What did she want?
She found out that we
took you from the orphanage.
So, what are you going to do now, girl?
-Good afternoon. -Good afternoon.
I need access to the file on an old homicide case.
The victim's name is Rubem Carvalho.
Are you
sure this is the right place?
Absolutely.
The neighbor spoke to her mother.
I'm going to apartment number 400, Sofia Fernandes.
No, no, no!
I really want to surprise her.
You know how it is...
I haven't seen my niece in ages.
Can you help me?
Four hundred,
four hundred and thirty...
Jesus, what is that smell?
Four hundred...
It's been a while, Sofia.
Did you miss your auntie, my love?
