Fame, beauty and fortune.
Have you ever stopped to think about how this
could destroy someone's life?
Well,
it almost destroyed mine.
I shouldn't
feel any sympathy for someone
who tried to kill me, but
I don't hold grudges.
I just can't.
Not even after what they put me through.
But now, the nightmare's finally over.
My biggest hater,
my one true enemy,
Sofia Fernandes
who stalked me,
threatened me, wanted to destroy me.
Who took Viviane's life, my right hand.
Well...
In the end,
she took her own life.
Sofia,
she jumped out of the window of her hideout.
Honestly, from the very bottom of my heart,
I hope she finds peace.
Because a person must be
in such deep despair to end their own life.
Me? I could never do that.
Never.
I love life.
I have a thirst for living,
because I have so much faith in God.
He, He, He can do anything!
He lights my path,
and from here on,
I'll keep celebrating the miracle that is life.
And always being grateful.
I'm so grateful. I truly am.
Today's mantra is: life,
surprise me!
SCARS OF BEAUTY
Here, my love,
a piece of the cake I made. Eat that.
-My girl? Look at me. -You've got to eat.
We need to stay strong for what's coming.
There's nothing coming.
The image of Mariana
dead...
It's something I'll never be able to forget.
She didn't deserve to go through that.
I lost control.
I can't do this anymore.
I'm done.
Sweetie,
I'm sorry, but it's too late to turn back now.
We're already infiltrated in there.
Mariana sacrificed herself for me.
I should be the one buried in there.
-Doesn't that hurt you? -It does,
but I won't it turn into fear,
because I've already lost my daughter.
Our Becca.
This isn't just your decision anymore.
You're not the only one who gets to decide
if we continue or not.
Everyone here wants the same thing.
Justice.
Lola won't be the only one to pay.
Rog, Benjamin, and Átila will too.
I'm really afraid of losing you all.
No one is losing anyone here.
-They will lose everything. -Those bastards...
They're out there profiting, they're killing,
they've been doing so much harm for so long.
What they did to Mariana... My God.
-This has to stop. -We're going to stop them.
We just need some time to expose all their dirt,
-right? -We've managed to get
Becca's file that they've been hiding all these years.
There must be more skeletons in the closet.
We're going to find them all.
I want to see those people crash and burn.
I want a front-row seat to watch justice being served.
Justice for our Becca, my love.
For your mother.
And now, justice for Mariana too.
We're in this together. No one messes with this family.
Pom-pom!
My love, what a nice surprise!
Come here, come here, my love.
So,
what's up? Tell me.
Lola, what was that video about?
Are you using Sofia's death to promote yourself?
Well,
Gabriel... I have to give an explanation to my followers.
And, you know,
even after everything she did to me.
You might not believe it, but I was really shaken up.
I can't get it. Why did she do that?
I've always tried to understand that girl.
I never could.
Do you think it was suicide?
She didn't leave a note, anything...
Let's turn the page on this.
She knew her days were numbered,
the police would show up there.
Think about it.
She had nothing but her clothes, she had no ID.
She knew. She was ready to meet the devil.
If she did jump from that building,
she had already met him.
Boring!
Julia?
-What's with the face? -It's just personal issues.
Don't worry.
I can't imagine what you're going through.
Sofia's death really hit me hard.
After so many years apart,
we finally reconnect, and then she takes her own life.
It's tragic.
Yeah,
life throws things our way that we may never understand.
I thought about going to the funeral.
Thought about it, but
I didn't go.
Take your time.
I was going to grab a coffee. Do you want?
Hey, Julia.
Aren't you going to introduce me?
Of course.
Gabriel, meet Alec, our financial manager at LolaLand.
Alec, this is Gabriel, Lola's son.
-Nice to meet you. -I've heard so much about you that
it feels like I already know you.
Are you back in Rio for good?
I'm investigating a case, I work for the police.
So that's why you're still here? Got it.
If you want to go out,
maybe grab a drink, hit some parties,
and meet some girls.
I mean, if you're single.
Thanks.
Shall we get to work? It's time to work.
Lola must be waiting for you.
Bye, Gabriel.
Nice to meet you.
Do you need me?
Take a seat.
This is a matter of life and death.
You're scaring me, Lola.
I'm fed up with being taken for a fool.
Átila, Tomás, Carol... They're exploiting my talent,
my body, and my trust. I'm done with it.
-What did they do? -They're still looking into
the money from the machines' fraud.
Even worse, they still have their suspicions about me.
Did you bring what I asked?
I did.
Are you sure?
-It's a risky move... -Fortune favors the bold, my love.
I'm aiming for Everest, and I'm reaching the summit, understood?
You can go now.
Wait. One more thing.
I need to make a withdrawal.
Okay.
-How much? -One million.
A million reais?
And what's the problem?
It's just that it's a very high amount.
It's not easy, especially now that you...
You'll find a way, cutie.
You're charming, elegant, sincere... Okay?
Go.
You can go.
I see transformation, look at that, blessed one.
New paths.
I started.
I started dancing.
Well, I started, but I'm not good at it,
and my husband is against it, so...
Then, lie.
Lie?
-Lie? -Lie to him.
Don't be afraid to be happy, go for it.
Close your eyes and focus.
Concentrate to draw the next card.
Focus, visualize. Are you ready?
Alright, open your eyes, blessed one.
The king. A romantic soul,
the kind who makes every woman feel like a queen.
Is it Rog? Is it Rog?
Well, if it's not...
Get ready, a Romeo is coming into your life.
It'll be hard to resist the handsome guy.
My dance teacher, Javier,
he's so handsome, and...
I have to admit,
I felt something for him, you know?
Gisela,
why so much guilt
with all the mediocre men out there?
A king is a blessing, my dear.
This man will seduce you, promise you the world,
but he will give it you.
You deserve to be loved.
Is this some kind of joke?
I've never been more serious.
I want to buy your share of LolaLand, dear father-in-law.
It's like a child to me.
I watched it be born, grow, and thrive.
It's only natural.
A mother wanting to cherish her creation on her own.
I'm not interested in selling.
Look, I know that if you hadn't invested in my project,
I wouldn't have succeeded.
And I'll always be grateful.
But I...
I feel like I need to fly solo, you know?
And it's for the good of the family too, right?
All this atmosphere of distrust towards me.
I think it's driving us apart.
I love you so much, dear father-in-law.
Sure.
Look...
it's a good offer.
Check it out.
Take a look.
And since when do you have so much money?
I work hard, don't I?
Well... I've always been good with saving since I was a kid.
I've been poor all my life.
We struggled.
So, I had to save coins
to buy my hair creams.
Looks like you saved a lot of coins.
Well,
the offer's on the table.
Think about it kindly,
okay?
Excuse me.
Let's celebrate,
my dear Zuckerberg!
Can I ask what we're celebrating?
The wonderful luck of having been born
as me, Lola!
How much I love myself.
I really admire myself.
Look, if I hadn't been born as me,
I'd be envious of myself.
No, but I'm just so happy
that everything is going well, girl.
Everything is going well, it will keep going that way.
Amen.
You didn't say anything about my stories.
Didn't you see them?
No.
Were you jealous
that I made the content by myself? Tell me.
I haven't checked my phone at all today.
Because I told everything about the death of that witch.
I did... I told everything.
I talked about the stalking,
I talked about the suicide.
I told the whole truth.
Well,
almost the whole truth.
I didn't mention how happy I am
that that bandit has died,
but that stays between us.
Got it?
I'm finally free, everyone!
I freed myself from a burden.
That girl, she's really bad, you know?
What a bitter girl.
So jealous and poorly dressed.
Come here, by the way, come here. Stand up.
No, no, no, seriously.
Zuckerberg,
this little punk-rock look from the suburbs isn't working.
It's just not it, see? You look like you're mourning.
I didn't put much effort into today. I woke up feeling off.
-Is it hormones? -Yeah.
Geez, being a woman is tough, isn't it?
But let's fix that hair, okay?
Let's put on some lipstick and tie up that shirt.
Let's brighten up that face.
I haven't worked my magic on you yet.
Look,
to be by my side, you have to look fabulous, okay?
I'm not going to pressure you.
Let me add just a little more for you.
To that little devil...
Who will never mess with my life again.
What?
Lola wants to buy your share of LolaLand?
I can't believe this... How do you never know anything?
Well, she's always had this dream,
but it's impossible. It's a fortune for her.
We know where she's getting that money from.
You know, Tomás? Why? Are you a prophet now?
No, I'm not a prophet, but I'm not blind either. Am I right?
Look, Lola's about to trip over herself,
in the meantime, let's focus on what matters.
I have a real plan for the clinic.
I'm listening.
Nowadays, many plastic surgeons work with machines
and injectables.
Let's combine quality
and tradition of the Argentos with the world of aesthetics.
We're going to modernize.
That's the best answer we can give to Lola.
Tomás, my father won't get into a dispute with Lola.
Weren't you against all this nonsense?
Yes, but we're going to invest
in selection and training. It's another level, standard.
Different from the pink fast-food she created.
Thanks, he won't get involved in this.
I still speak for myself.
I'll think about your idea, Tomás.
Okay. Thank you.
Excuse me.
You too.
Honey?
-Hey. -You're early, what a miracle!
Wait. Didn't you like it?
I did, I did. Of course. You've been out of sight lately.
Working so hard. Let it keep here. Where are you going?
Well, I...
-I have plans with... -Hey, are you ready?
I am.
Are you going out? Any plans?
Movies...
-To the movies. -Yes, to the movies.
-Yep. -Okay.
-Shall we? -Let's go.
-Great. -Kisses, beautiful thing.
-Bye. -We'll talk later.
Bye.
Just this week,
three patients told me they go to LolaLand.
Three.
Not to mention who don't admit it,
but I know they've been there, they end up with the same face.
Let me help you.
Do you think I'm a dinosaur?
You're the most respected surgeon in the country, Átila.
The most elegant, too.
I never thought I'd even consider something like this.
Turning my clinic into an assembly line.
It's not like that.
I think it's worth considering what Tomás said.
It's a trend.
But why, for God's sake?
The procedures last less than a year.
Financially, it could be interesting.
I see...
You think I'm a dinosaur.
A very hot dinosaur.
I don't know.
First Viviane, now Sofia.
She had dirty secrets with one,
was enemies with the other. Now they're dead.
You're completely paranoid, man.
Lola's crazy, but she wouldn't do something like that.
Alright.
Let me answer this.
Here, look!
Boy!
Hi, Andrea.
I thought you were avoiding me.
Plans for today?
Actually, yes, my God.
I have an unavoidable commitment.
Unavoidable. Look, I'll make it up to you
next time with a special foot massage,
my beautiful thing.
What do you think?
I'm going to charge you.
-Bye. -Bye.
-Okay. -Gisela?
-I'll wait for you downstairs. -Alright.
Are you accepting my invitation to the bar?
I'm sorry, but I have to go home.
What a shame.
Are you enjoying the classes? You seemed tense.
I don't know if I have a talent for dancing.
You might not know, but I do.
You have talent.
Impressive that you haven't danced before.
It's just that there are so many mirrors here,
and I hate seeing myself.
You're so beautiful.
So... I've got to
head down now.
See you later.
Here.
This was Mariana's favorite.
She used to get mad when I used it.
Alec.
Things here feels so her.
Sofia, stop.
It's not your fault. Mariana was killed by Lola.
I think she's plotting something.
She made an offer for LolaLand.
Then she asked for extra money.
-One million. -One million?
With a million, she can't buy LolaLand.
Exactly.
There must be another deal. I'll figure it out.
-We must keep an eye on her. -I know.
Thanks.
Don't worry.
I need to talk to you.
Can it wait till tomorrow?
I just took my sleeping pills.
Do you want one too?
Lola, what's this story about wanting to buy LolaLand?
You left me hanging in front of my dad.
-You should've told me. -I don't waste my collagen.
You weren't going to support me anyway.
Lola, you're in the spotlight, Lola.
This is not the time to stir up trouble.
You say that
because you believe your dad
is going to leave you everything when he's gone.
Lolaland doesn't interest me, baby.
Well, it should interest you.
It makes more money than the Átila Argento Clinic.
And it's going to end up in
Tomás's hands, the wise fairy.
My dad wouldn't do that.
You trust him that much?
Too bad he doesn't trust you.
But don't worry, I'm handling things,
taking care of us both.
Good night, baby.
Can you turn off the light, please?
SOFIA FERNANDES 02-11-1998 – 23-10-2024
Excuse me.
The address.
Did this woman pay for the funeral?
Yes.
She was the only one who showed up here.
Thank you.
Nara?
-What's up? -Good morning.
You're Sofia's adoptive mother, right?
-Yes. -Nara?
-Yes. -Nice to meet you, Gabriel.
I'm a friend of your daughter's. I met her
when we were kids,
and
she meant a lot to me. A lot.
If you don't mind me asking,
I'd like to know something.
How did you adopt her? How did that happen?
The girl was on the streets, so I took her in.
Sofia was full of traumas.
She was already broken.
Sorry to ask, but...
Do you really believe she
killed herself?
Did she have enemies or anything like that?
Her worst enemy was herself.
And...
If you really are her friend, let her rest in peace.
Alright?
-Excuse me. -Just a second, I...
I know it's all very recent, but...
If you remember anything,
-Okay. -get in touch.
-Alright. Nice to meet you. -Okay.
-You too. -Take care.
What movie did the girls watch last night?
A comedy. A romantic comedy.
Really good.
It's about a woman
who gets divorce and has to reinvent herself.
She was very strong.
I didn't really like the movie, honey.
Good morning!
-Stop. -Good morning, my little family!
Good morning!
Really?
My dear father-in-law,
have you had a chance to think about my offer?
I'm about to take it off the table. Tic tac, tic...
-What's she talking about? -She wants to buy
-my share of Lolaland. -Geez.
-Did you know about this? -Check it out.
I'm curious about where you plan to get the money for that.
-I looked into Viviane's assets. -You looked into it?
I did.
No sign of the fortune diverted for the machines.
Tomasito, tomasito.
If Viviane managed to fool me,
imagine you, who's not from the hood,
who is all fancy and posh...
That was great.
Actually, my biggest surprise
was finding out her salary.
A lot of money, don't you think?
Not that I owe you any explanation,
but Viviane earns just a bit more than she used to
as a security guard for the Argento family. See?
Maybe, my dear father-in-law, who was the first to hire her,
can answer that.
Why did Viviane earn so much from doctor Átila?
Lola, this conversation isn't about me.
It's about the money you claim you have to buy Lolaland.
My God, Nara.
How did he get your address?
At the cemetery.
He thinks Sofia's dead, and he's suffering.
Better this way.
Why don't you tell him everything? The truth.
I can't, Nara.
Gabriel is Lola's son.
-He will hate me. -He's a cop.
He could be your ally against these people.
He's stubborn. You can bet that,
sooner or later, he'll figure it out.
You need to clip Tomás's wings.
How does he come in full of himself
wanting to know Viviane's salary?
He'll end up finding out what we don't want.
It's not Tomás who needs boundaries.
It's your wife.
You don't need to stress about this.
Then, look into your own wife while I handle my part.
What are you planning?
I'm buying out her share in Lolaland.
She'll never agree to that.
Let her find out about our new project.
She'll sell it for a song.
What are you talking about?
I decided to add machines and injectables to the clinic.
No, you're not going to give Tomás that kind of power.
Business, Benjamin.
Damn it...
And you're going to be in charge of it.
I don't understand what you want.
You want to compete with Lola, is that it?
No.
I want to get rid of her once and for all.
Can I count on you?
Sure.
Of course, you can.
My love,
doctor Átila is plotting against Lola,
and his stupid son is in on it too.
Stay alert, keep your eyes open.
What's that smell?
Don't you dare complain about sage. It's a miracle herb.
Forgive me, sage, forgive me.
I've always loved you, adored you.
Open my paths, my paths of light.
-Open... -Open the way,
clear the path, break the curses.
Now, sit down, blessed one.
-Really? Alright. -Sit.
What a pretty card.
-Is it me? -Looks like it. Let's find out.
Wait, wait, Elvirinha, no bad news, please.
You took a risky move, didn't you?
Yeah,
so what?
What goes around comes around. Someone is plotting against you.
Átila. It has to be Átila.
Let me see.
Átila is pushing...
-a man against you. -Benjamin.
No, no. Of course,
Átila wants his son to turn against me.
To switch sides.
-Help me, Elvirinha. Help me. -Sit down, breathe, sit down...
-and draw a card. -Alright.
Ace of gold.
I like gold.
You have to stop fighting a lost battle.
You need to reinvent your weapons.
What's over is over.
Weapons,
battle... Help me out.
Right. Tell me all the words.
The train of opportunity is coming.
If you know how to connect and recognize the signs,
you'll catch that train. Trust me!
I trust you! I trust you.
LOLALAND
I love that...
-Come in! -Excuse me.
So?
-Did you get the money? -Lola, it's impossible to move
a million without anyone noticing.
Argento's finance team is all over it.
-So, what now? -There's no way, Lola.
-What? -We could try to break it down
-into installments, but... -No. Get out, just go.
I'll handle it.
Since you clearly can't.
Go, go, get lost. Get lost.
My goodness...
Everything's on me.
Heitor, my dear, how are you? It's Lola Argento.
Listen, I need access to my safe, and
I'd love it if you could look after me as you always do.
Sure.
I heard it.
His name's Heitor.
Heitor?
Okay.
-Perhaps he's a loan shark? -No.
Lola isn't one to deal with loan sharks.
We must keep an eye on what she does from now on.
-Yeah... -Okay.
I'd bet my hand her next stop will be that safe.
Don't do that, for heaven's sake.
Thank you
for everything.
It would've been harder without you.
-I miss you, Sofia. -Alec...
-Am I interrupting? -No.
We were having coffee. Want some?
-Thanks. -Hot coffee.
Work talk. Yeah.
Interesting. I wouldn't miss it.
Well, if you'll excuse me.
Looks like I caught you two in the act.
We were talking about work. Nothing important.
Good. You deserve better, Julia, seriously....
Sometimes too much tension can turn into passion, okay?
I'd rather die, girl. Not a chance.
He's good-looking, but he's got no charm.
The worst part is I still think about Gabriel.
Really?
Yeah.
It breaks my heart seeing him
down because of that woman, Sofia.
I want to call him, I want to...
reach out.
Do you think I'm being stupid? Foolish?
I don't know, Carol.
-What about our lunch? -Girl...
Lola needs me.
I deserve this.
-Bye. -Bye. Good luck.
I'll give you some money later, okay?
I don't like it when you come unannounced.
I know someone who looks gorgeous in lingerie.
Andrea, what? Are you mad at me?
-I told you I had dinner planned... -Dinner?
You've never invited me out.
It's always here.
Because I love being here at your place.
It's lovely.
I love relaxing here, just hanging out with you.
Yeah, I know exactly how you like to relax.
-Do you think I'm stupid? -No.
-No, I think you're hot. -I'm serious, Rog.
If you want to be with me,
you have to commit.
No shame in going out or kissing in public.
No, no. Come on, I would walk
-with you all over. -Yeah?
Then why don't you?
Well...
Listen, I've been wanting to tell you this for a while now.
It's been stuck in my throat. I hate lying.
-I'm married. -What?
I should have suspected, right?
I know nothing about you.
That's not true. I've been honest with you.
I didn't want to drag you into my problems.
Andrea, look at me. Please, look at me.
My wife has severe depression,
tried to take her life when I asked for the divorce.
I'm paying for the best treatment I can,
all the divorce papers are ready, but...
Her family is dangerous.
She has a brother who's a cop, the wrong kind of cop.
I'm terrified she'll send someone after me.
-How about this? -Whatever you want.
We should break up. It's best for both of us.
I'm crazy about you.
-Leave, Rog. -No.
Go, Rog.
But...
Don't bother looking for me again.
You don't need to walk me out anymore, thanks.
I need to know what that witch came here for.
Who's that with her?
I have no idea.
-But I have to know. -Sofia, Sofia, it's too risky...
Sofia!
It was an accident.
Rest up, you little devil.
Nice and close to your mother, and far from me.
I'm sorry for that.
-Sofia. -Alec.
The chief.
I saw him on TV. He's the one who ruled Mari's death a suicide
and he was also investigating Viviane's death.
Did Lola buy off the police?
Again?
Alec...
I have an idea.
Come in, Nara.
You want the truth?
I'll tell you.
Sofia didn't put any bomb in Lola's car.
And I can guarantee my daughter didn't jump from that building.
She was murdered, Gabriel.
