Aren't you going to invite me in?
Your life must really suck if,
after all this time, you've got to make up
all these ridiculous stories about me.
How did you find me?
The real ones always spot the fakes.
Your little act isn't fooling anyone, sweetie.
I got what I wanted.
My revenge by ruining your party.
No, keep your claws to yourself,
because I come in peace.
That horror show you pulled at my party?
It was incredibly tacky... but what can I say?
It's over.
I'm not wasting my energy holding a grudge against you.
I need to know one thing...
Who helped you sabotage my party?
-I did it all by myself. -What did you gain, Sofia?
Why all the hate?
You killed Rubem and blamed my mother.
Of course, Cléo turned you against me.
You know? I should sue you for slander!
But
you're the only family I have left,
and I want to help you,
okay?
I know I've
hurt you a lot.
Is it too late for me to make things right?
How much do you want?
To leave this place
and never look back.
One hundred?
So, is one hundred grand enough?
Enough to forget I even exist?
Maybe even
fix that nasty scar of yours.
A hundred and fifty.
A hundred and fifty?
Deal.
SCARS OF BEAUTY
Do you
want some drama? I mean, some real fucking drama?
Guess who I was with.
Who?
-I found the brat, Benja. -Who? Did you find Sofia?
The spitting image!
-And? -You should have seen
the hole she was in. It looked like she hadn't eaten in days.
You know what she said? She wants revenge.
-Her mother messed with her head. -This is serious, Lola.
We must do something about her.
-She can't mess with our lives. -All sorted out.
I've offered her some cash to calm her down.
-I don't know. Do you think it's over? -Okay?
I'm not afraid of her, my love.
I'm really not. I'm doing this for us, alright?
This way, she'll leave us alone
and let our family have some peace.
Okay?
How much are you paying her?
We're giving her 300 thousand... in cash, right?
I'll cover half, and you take care of the other half. Deal?
Do you think you can get
that cash by early next week?
Come here...
-See? -Somebody
give this girl an Oscar already.
Stanislavski never fails.
-Now let's see Boozeovsky. Boozeovsky. -Sure!
Here!
-More. -I hear your cry, Meryl Streep!
-Thank you, thank you so much. -Okay.
Why is this celebration for?
-What did I miss? -We fooled Lola.
A victory for the Paixão family!
What? Did Lola find you?
Viviane stopped by Abigail's house to ask about me.
And since Abigail is a friend of the beast,
I mean of this beast here...
Am I right?
I take my time to pay for the snacks
I might owe you. But I'm a loyal friend.
-Yeah... -That's right.
I don't understand what all the excitement is about.
Lola coming after you is the end of the line.
Lola didn't come after me.
She came after Sofia.
Nice to meet you,
I'm Sofia.
Let me see that.
my makeup skills paid off this time.
-A masterpiece! -She's not any woman,
she's a Swiss army knife. You're too much...
I'm not, I'm exactly enough.
-Excesses ends up overflowing. -Don't you get the danger?
Lola deserved it.
She was Rog's secretary
and helped cover everything up. That bitch.
So you told them, Sofia.
And dragged your friend into this?
Don't worry, I insisted on helping.
Do you know how much the madame's going to pay?
-A hundred and fifty grand. -Guys,
-sure she's not bluffing? -No, I know Lola.
She thinks money buys everything. She'll pay.
-Come on. Let's celebrate! -No, I'm good.
-Let's celebrate! -Hey, hey...
-I'll grab another one... -Let's make a toast! Abigail!
Girl, I want to get back into makeup.
-There's still demand. -You should.
-There's demand. -There is.
CIVIL POLICE
POLICE INQUIRY
Are you camping out over here?
You've been buried in that case for hours.
Can I make a copy?
DID YOU MAKE IT TO RIBEIRÃO PRETO SAFELY, POM-POM?
You're back!
Good to see you, Ramona.
Mrs. Lola didn't say anything.
-I haven't set up your room yet. -Don't worry.
-But I will... -What's going on?
I don't get it. What are you doing here?
I decided to stay longer.
-Just like that? Out of nowhere? -It's for work.
I'm working on a case with some new developments in Rio,
-they told me to stay. -Couldn't you have told me?
I was worried, I sent you messages, you didn't reply.
I wanted to surprise you.
Didn't you like it?
Of course I did, my dear.
All I ever want is to have you close to me, always.
But I'm not staying here, okay?
-I'll stay in our old apartment. -It smells like death.
Where I was happy with dad.
Okay, my son.
I won't say another word about it.
Can you at least have lunch with your mom?
Of course.
Maybe Julia could join us.
No,
you two should enjoy each other's company.
She has a lot of work to do.
-Right? -Yeah.
Go live your life. Come. Come with mama.
Tell me more about this investigation...
Is it about international trafficking?
I can't talk about it, it's confidential.
Confidential...
I really wish I had stepped in
to stop you from pursuing this cursed career.
It's never too late to change your mind, Pom-pom.
You're right.
I could ask Viviane for some advice.
After all, she was a cop.
-Do you know why she quit? -I have no idea.
It's been a long time.
Maybe because the job's miserable. And the salary low.
Okay and...
She used to be my dad's partner, right?
I just find it...
I don't know... a bit strange.
How did she end up being your manager?
It's outside her field.
What's going on with you, Gabriel? Come on!
Now you're obsessed with Viviane?
Well, I hired her because she's trustworthy.
Simple as that.
I'm sure
you asked her to keep an eye on Sofia,
track her down, find out where she is.
Are you interrogating me?
Seriously, Gabriel? No,
that's not what happened. I didn't ask her anything.
And honestly, I couldn't care less about Sofia, my love.
What she does doesn't affect me at all.
Let's talk about something fun, shall we?
So, how are the ladies? Tell me!
I'm single. Is that what you're asking?
It's not like there aren't any options.
Hey, take me to the mall!
I love going out with you.
The women can't help but stare, checking you out.
And me, a goddess of beauty, by your side, making them wonder
"Is she his sister or his girlfriend?
Sister or girlfriend?"
Hey you.
Is Lola around?
She's having lunch with Gabriel.
I thought that kid had already gone away.
He changed his mind.
You look tired, Julia.
Lola's overworking you, isn't she?
Nah, I'm used to it.
-It's all good. -If you ever need anything, let me know.
I owe you one for everything you've done.
Don't worry.
It's my job.
Julia,
when can I take you out for dinner?
No Lola and no dull work talk.
I'd rather not.
Because I'm married to Lola? We're in an open relationship,
-she wouldn't mind. -But I would.
Why? Can I know?
Are you
some kind of goody-goody?
Or are you too jealous?
A bit of both.
Listen...
Why do I feel like you're not telling everything?
And I love that.
Hey, Ju.
I've got surgery at the clinic now.
Do you want a ride to LolaLand?
Perfect timing.
Excuse me.
Shall we?
Is it just me, or is my uncle hitting on you?
Just drop it, Carol...
No way, Ju... He can't get away with that.
If he's being inappropriate, stand up to him.
Do it. I've got your back.
Thank you.
I'm exhausted, you know?
Things are pretty wild at LolaLand.
Yeah? More people complaining about the machine?
It's getting hard to defend Lola.
My grandpa's got a hunch about her now.
Why?
What's he worried about?
If these machines are inspected. This isn't normal.
Glitches like that only happen with pirated machines.
LOLALAND
-Go get that woman! -We'll solve it.
Lola, get out! Lola, get out!
-It can't be like this, look! -Calm down, people, calm down!
-Scammer! -Calm down!
-Look what you've done.
-I can see it. -Calm down. Look.
I'm with you, Lolovers.
I'm open to discussion, everything's going to be okay.
Will this bring my face back?
If you were so in love with it, why did you come here?
No, smart girl, that's the result of the laser,
-from the laser healing. -Liar.
-Are you calling me a liar? -I am.
Yeah, you're a liar. Liar.
This cheap machine left me in pain.
Mrs. Arinete, calm down. No need for that tone.
We'll sort this out together.
Everything will be okay, and you will be compensated.
Understood? I'll refer you
to the best plastic surgeon
-in Rio... My husband. -I don't want any of that.
I've reached out for help many times, but no one has responded.
I'm going to sue you.
-That's right! -Sue me?
-I'm in! -Who do you think you are?
Lola the scammer, destined for jail!
Lola the scammer,
-destined for jail! -That's enough. Enough.
Look, I'm done with this circus, okay? Enough.
That's it. Where's the empathy?
Security, please. Get these troublemakers out.
-Go to jail! -Take the thing off...
-Pay me, Lola. -I will, I will, I will...
Scammer!
You'll pay.
You're going to pay. You're going to pay, Lola, okay?
Ok. Let's go.
See...
Unfortunately,
not every procedure is successful.
Every body reacts... I hate this.
These envious women won't tear down my Olympus.
-Calm down, Lola. -Calm down? Calm down?
-My image is everything I've got. -I know,
a video will help calm things down.
-Okay? -Alright.
-Okay? -Let's do this, turn it on.
It's on.
Unfortunately, I've received
many complaints about Pelvis Perfect.
As a professional, I want to assure you
that we will investigate everything... What the hell?
Today's not my day,
is it? No one respects anything.
I need to talk to you. Right now.
Okay.
Zucka,
-please. -Okay. I'll just turn this off.
Done.
There it is, the paperwork of the machines.
Did you manage to modify them?
I did, but he could find out if he investigates it.
But he will.
Then we're going to need help.
Our financial manager can't handle it.
Fire her, fire that idiot,
because you know we need someone
who can cover the tracks, do you understand?
If that old man discovers the embezzlement.
I'm screwed. And so are you...
-He won't find out. -He won't find out.
-I'll find a way. -He won't. He won't.
But he could find out if he investigates it.
But he will.
Then we're going to need help.
Our financial manager can't handle it.
Fire her.
I'll take this folder home
and hide it well. The old man can't find it.
Did I scare you?
No.
Did you come to see your mom? It's not a good time.
No, I'm here to see you. How about a drink?
Are you always this persistent?
Is that good or bad?
-I'm confused. -It depends.
Where are we going?
I'll show you.
And then your mom kicked everyone out.
It was crazy!
And I thought I had a hectic job.
Why did you cancel the trip?
That excuse didn't convince me.
Multiple reasons.
The party, that whole Sofia situation...
I need to figure that out.
Got it.
-And Lola? She didn't ask you... -What?
She didn't ask you to track down who sent that doll?
No? Why?
Because I know my mom very well.
She won't rest until she finds out who did that.
She probably sent Viviane after it,
and with her...
-Yeah... -I don't stand a chance.
She doesn't like me either.
But I do.
I've had feelings for you since the first time I saw you.
That's one of the reasons I stayed. You.
-Stop it. -I mean it!
-Don't say that... No. -It's true.
I was in a cab on my way to the airport,
-I remembered what you said. -Yeah.
I saw there was no reason to leave.
-Tell me more about you. -Me?
-Yeah. -What? I...
I'm not that interesting.
My life's ordinary. I'm just an ordinary
from a simple family. A small-town girl. That's it.
Well... any family is normal compared to mine.
That's true.
How about boyfriends? Do you have one?
An ex.
We broke up not too long ago.
And do you still like him?
-That's a tough question. -Nah...
-What's this? -Let's dance then.
Would you rather dance? Let's go...
My God...
Stop...
I really like you, Julia.
I gotta go. I'll talk to you later.
But...
Damn it, Benja.
It's definitely strange that she won't show you the receipts.
-Damn! -The one who handles paperwork
and administrative stuff
is Viviane, bro.
Lola doesn't know about it, she doesn't handle contracts. You think?
And do you believe in Easter Bunny too? Come on.
They're always together, touching each other.
You know, right?
You know Lola well enough, don't you?
You really think Lola would pull something like that?
Buying second-hand machines,
used cartridges,
pocketing the cash?
And worse, behind your back.
If your dad finds out, bro, he might think you're in on it.
You need to focus and
-hit your target. -What target, man?
The leadership of the Átila Argento Clinic...
Hey...
What you've always dreamed of.
Or are you really going to hand it over to that Tomás?
Your dad is counting on you, something he's not done before.
Now isn't the time to abandon him because of Lola's mistakes.
Wake up, man.
Wake up.
CHECKING IF YOU GAVE ME THE RIGHT NUMBER
-STOP BEING SILLY -MADE IT HOME OKAY?
YES
YES, GOOD NIGHT
-Tomás. -Sorry, I got a little distracted.
I heard about what happened at LolaLand,
I think it would be wise to conduct an audit.
If you're open, I can take the lead on this.
I don't believe Benjamin's objective enough
to handle this effectively.
You're right.
You run this clinic like it's your own.
Márcia would be proud, and so am I.
Well, excuse me.
Give a round of applause for the best dancer I know.
Javier Nunes!
Is Javier going to be our teacher?
Yes! And there's more... he'll be my partner
for the Brazilian Latin Dance Championship!
We make a great team, don't we?
-Absolutely. -This year, I'm taking
the trophy home with me.
Or my name's not Andrea Reis.
It's yours!
We rocked it, right?
Thank you.
Well...
-Nice to meet you. -Likewise!
-Bye-bye. -Bye-bye.
Thank you, girls.
-See you next week, okay? -Yeah.
Hey, hey, come here.
-Come here. -Are you here to dance?
I'm here to see you.
I sent you a message, and you didn't reply. What's up?
Is it because of that guy?
Javier's my ex.
We lived together when I moved to São Paulo.
Now he's like a brother to me.
What's going on, Rog? Are you jealous?
I like you, Andrea.
When I like someone, I don't give up that easily.
I want to make you an amazing surprise. So?
So you like me, and I'm supposed to feel the same way?
I'll reply to your message.
Reply to my message? What...
Have you really given up painting, sweetie?
You were so dedicated.
You even set up a studio!
I know, dad, but I... I've lost interest.
I don't have mom's talent.
You don't need Ana's talent.
You have your own.
Gisela, therapy could help you find out what makes you happy.
No, no, no. Invest in your looks.
That'll boost your self-esteem.
Always up.
My love, do you think my face is looking better?
You're beautiful, sweetie, beautiful.
I support whatever decision you make.
-Okay? -Am I
lucky or what, my darlings?
Look at this... look at this beautiful family!
-Here's my hubby! -Lola...
Let me show off
-my wonderful sister-in-law! -Wait a minute, Lola!
Hey, say hi to the Lolovers, wise fairy!
And now, him...
My amazing father-in-law!
The top of the tops, the nose wizard!
Átila Argento!
Come on!
I told you I don't like this exposure, Lola.
Sorry.
Sorry. It's just that intimacy really boosts engagement.
People can't get enough of it.
They love seeing wealthy's breakfast.
Their lunch, and dinner, you know?
Okay, I'm done. I've turned it off.
It's over. I don't want more trouble.
Where's what I asked for?
Well...
Viviane still hasn't handed it over to me.
She's been dragging her feet.
We're not waiting for your manager anymore.
I'm conducting an audit at LolaLand.
We'll check the equipment
and all the accounting
thoroughly.
An audit?
Why? Are you suspicious of me? Is that it?
Should I be?
It's best to be thorough with these things.
I suggested a reliable audit to Dr. Átila.
I doubt Benjamin will object to it. He has no reason to, right?
It'll be good for LolaLand, my love.
My dad's just taking care of the business.
It's more than just business.
It's my family.
I'm doing the audit for the family.
To keep the Argento name just like it always has been.
Clean.
Wait! You have those papers, you said!
-I'll hit you! -Isn't that a firm hand?
-Lola, calm down. -Calm down?
-Calm down. -Look at how you talk.
That's what you do... you always take your dad's side.
I was completely betrayed, totally exposed.
Who does he think he is?
-What? -Leaving me like this?
-What's this? -Damn it!
-Lola, calm down. -Calm down? How?
I'm gonna drop dead. Let's see how you'll manage.
-I don't know... -By the way,
where's the money?
-What money? -The one I promised to give
-to Sofia. -I have nothing to do with her.
No? Funny, I thought that you and Rog
had operated on Rebecca Paixão.
What does it have to do?
Sofia was adopted by the Paixão family.
If we don't shut that girl up, she'll keep
digging into our lives.
One day, you know what will happen?
She'll find out that you ordered to take Rebecca's heart.
So do your job and I'll handle mine, alright?
I want 150 cash in my hand.
Okay.
Nothing like a day after another.
Be happy.
ÁTILA ARGENTO PLASTIC SURGERY CLINIC
Marcelo?
-Did you call me, Grandpa? -I did, my love.
I need you to monitor the post-op for doctor Marcelo.
It's a structured rhinoplasty.
Keep an eye
-on the patient for a few hours. -I'll do this.
Grandpa?
I'm worried about aunt Gisela.
So am I.
I try to get closer, but always feel I'm in the way.
-It's not your fault. -It is.
-No. -Yes, that's right.
Ever since Ana died,
I haven't known how to deal with Gisela.
She's always been so fragile, lost, convinced she's incapable.
Of course, Grandpa. She lost her mom and her sister.
And Rog only makes things worse.
It's a lot.
Talk to her, sweetheart.
Yes, you're a woman, you're young.
She might feel comfortable opening up to you.
You're right.
3RD POLICE PRECINCT
I looked into my dad's death case.
Cléo confessed. She claimed self-defense, but...
My mom never saw anything between them.
Well, I'm with your mom on this one.
It's really hard to believe Rubem would harass the maid.
Do you remember her?
Viviane... she was your dad's partner.
But she left the force and disappeared without saying bye.
And she quitted her career just like that?
She was working on a big case at the time, you know?
Rumor had it she got paid off to walk away.
What case?
It was about a model who died after getting lipo...
Her name was...
Rebecca Paixão.
Huge scandal.
Powerful people were involved.
Anyway, man, I gotta get back to work.
One more thing, Gilberto.
Wasn't there some story
about Cléo changing her statement in jail?
If so, I didn't hear about it,
it didn't make it into the file.
So, it's probably just a rumor.
See you, buddy.
Hey.
Come in.
-Thanks for coming. -It's all good.
-Sit. -Okay.
-I know you must hate me... -Sofia...
You know you can count on me.
What's going on?
I need your help.
With what?
To save Lola.
-To save Lola? -Yeah, look.
What do you mean?
She's involved in a dirty scheme.
She needs someone to get her out of it.
I'm out. No, you're crazy, Sofia.
Alec, this is our chance. Look, you help Lola,
gain her trust,
become her financial manager,
and then we make our move, the big move.
This is risky, Sofia.
Lola almost caught you.
Viviane might recognize me too.
No, you were just a kid.
You don't even share the same last name as Rebecca.
This isn't just about Lola.
We could bring down Benjamin, the doctor who did her surgery.
I overheard them talking.
Do you remember the day of the transplant?
The ambulance carrying her heart got into an accident?
The worst day of my life.
Benjamin planned it all.
He and Rog paid to make sure that heart never reached Rebecca.
What?
I want to see you in a week.
Don't forget to schedule your check-up with Marlene.
Right? Don't take long. I miss you so much.
Thank you, Lola.
So what? Planning to buzz around me like a fly?
Lola, it's an injustice what Átila is doing to you, you know?
I want you to know that you can count on me for anything, okay?
I'm on your side.
I was thinking of recommending someone to you...
Talk to Viviane.
I would, but she doesn't like me.
-Anyway, never mind. -Wait, wait a second, girl.
Didn't you season it? Now fry it.
Who is this person?
A company I worked for
went through something similar...
An injustice?
They hired this young guy, the wizard of numbers.
He took care of everything,
leaving no trace behind, which was essential.
He set an offshore account that cleared the company's name.
Anyway, he's skilled at managing money,
laundering it, processing it effectively.
Wait, hold on.
Did you lose respect for your boss? What's this about?
You've got a lot of nerve, girl.
Sorry, Lola, I just wanted to help you.
Call this wizard of numbers. I want to talk to him.
LOLALAND
And you are?
Alexander Silva.
Don't you think you're a bit young for this, kid?
It might not seem so, but I've been at this for some time.
-I brought you my resume. -No, no, no!
I prefer face-to-face
so I can catch the cat in the act. Got it?
How can I help you?
Well, my financial manager made a mess and got fired.
Now, my father-in-law, rightly so,
wants to conduct an audit of Lolaland.
What's the problem?
He wants to review the paperwork for machine purchases,
but I don't understand any of it.
I typically keep things straightforward,
what if there's something missing?
That's why I need someone I can trust...
Someone who can help me
clean things up if necessary, got it?
Ensure everything runs smoothly.
That's not easy,
-nor cheap. -Money is not a problem.
What I don't know is if I can trust you.
When it comes to handling money, trust is essential.
If you don't trust me, best not to proceed.
-A pleasure. -Hold on, hold on.
No need to take offense.
I like you.
You know how to hold your ground.
You know your worth.
Come in.
Gabriel?
Your mom is in her office. Want me to call her?
No, I didn't come to talk to Lola... I found this.
I thought you'd like to see. You and my dad.
Your dad was an excellent cop.
You must have been really exceptional too.
Getting into the police is hard. You've done a lot.
What made you walk away from your career?
Low payment, high risk.
I started working for the Argentos, it was far better.
Yeah, right.
Then my mom referred you to them.
What do you mean?
It was through Lola you met Átila, wasn't it?
No,
I met your mom after that.
After? It's just that...
Weird, I remember seeing you at my dad's funeral.
Gabriel, your dad was my friend.
You know that.
I do.
How long did you work as security for the Argentos
-before working here? -One year.
Then your mom opened Lolaland, and I joined her.
But
why all these questions?
Nothing. I'm just... Just curious. That's all.
Excuse me, Mr. Benjamin's courier
has arrived with Mrs Lola's money.
I'll take care of it. We can continue this later.
I'm from Joanópolis. But my house caught fire.
Then, my mom and I came to Rio, to my cousin Lola's house.
Sofia?
Did you bring the cash?
Lola wants you far away from her.
Don't you remember me?
I do,
but I'd rather forget.
Get away. What the hell?
It's me,
Gabriel.
I had so much I wanted to say when I saw you, but
Lola paid me to disappear.
So, it was cash Viviane handed you, right?
-Why would Lola do that? -You should ask her.
-Let me go! -Talk to me.
Are you crazy? I won't talk to you. I'll call the police.
Girl, Lola is a goldmine.
There's more where that came from. It's nothing for her.
You know what I think? I will quit that pathetic bar.
Hey, Mariana, is that can empty?
-Check it out. -I don't know.
You can use it.
-Put here? -There.
There's more here.
Well...
Gabriel came looking for me.
-I mean, for you. -Gabriel?
What did he say?
I slipped away when I saw he was asking about you.
He was definitely eager to see you.
He really likes you, girl.
I still think you should come clean with him.
No, no, it's not the right time for that.
Come on, just tell him that his mom killed his dad.
-Bring him to your side. -How will I prove that?
Tell me? It's my word against hers.
She told Gabriel
that my mom lied to me, Mariana.
Alright, let me ask you.
What if your mom isn't innocent, after all?
She confessed to the crime, didn't she?
Are you listening to yourself?
Even you, my friend, are starting to doubt me.
Now, imagine saying all of this to Gabriel.
He'll hate me forever. No way.
No, Mariana, I've come too far
to back down now. Those people are going to pay for everything.
Pom-pom!
So glad you came to see mommy.
-Hey... -Stop!
What's going on?
Why did you lie about Sofia?
-Did I lie? -You said you didn't know about her.
-And I don't. -You don't?
Then explain this...
