Thank God you're awake.
Where's my money?
-I want my money! -Ma'am,
there must be a misunderstanding.
The clerk said you came in the other day in a rush.
-Missing a flight. -It was someone pretending
to be me, you idiot.
There's only one Lola. By the way, where were you?
I wasn't feeling well, ma'am.
I want access
to the security footage. Now!
I've looked into it.
We had a system failure
-that day... -This was a professional job?
And your idea of professionalism?
Clearly, it wasn't too hard to pull one over on you. Amateurs!
Anyway, I want a refund. Obviously.
-File the insurance claim. -Ms. Lola...
All documents were in order, the key and fingerprint scan.
I'm afraid insurance doesn't cover this.
What do you mean?
Who's to say it wasn't you who came, took everything,
-and now you're... -And now I'm what?
Are you suggesting I'm scamming you?
-Is that it? -No.
I'll sue all of you!
Bunch of incompetents.
SCARS OF BEAUTY
LOLALAND
-Did you call us? -Did something happen?
It did.
I was betrayed in the lowest way possible.
-What do you mean, Lola? -I was robbed. Cleaned out.
Every penny I invested in Lolaland Products.
It's all gone.
What do you mean?
Which part of "robbed" you didn't get, sweetheart?
Lola, Ernani's expecting his payment.
There's a contract, put up your share of Lolaland as collateral.
Stall that vulture. Okay?
Run the numbers on how much we need this month to cover it.
I'll fix this. I have to. I always do.
And you, it's time to show some effort, darling.
Land some partnerships, get some sponsors. Got it?
I need money coming in, fast.
-Count on me. -I don't care
if the company is canceled, it doesn't matter.
-I'll get on it. -Not just that. You'll take off.
You have this weekend to find solutions.
You both. I want answers by Monday. Now go.
Calm down.
-What? What's wrong? -Jesus...
Honey, I've never been in the same room
with five million dollars before.
-It makes me nervous. -Then relax.
Leave the guests. Just let them be.
I got some ideas spinning around.
Honey, when you say these things,
I can't tell if I should be scared or excited.
-What? -What if we took a little of the money
to have a little fun?
Interesting. Go on.
Well, I'm free...
And you're looking available.
We could, you know,
just grab a bit for some high-class love-love.
-A deluxe love-love? -That's right.
-When you say it like that... -What?
I get goosebumps all over.
Honey...
-A shrimp tower. -Lots of shrimp.
-We could do a bubble bath. -That cider.
-Gosh! -Bubble bath.
-I can feel it nice and cold. -No cider, not the cider.
-Hold on. -Nice!
A little.
Geez!
Wait, wait.
Go, honey!
Beauty...
Beautiful.
Son!
You're here early. A heads-up next time.
We agreed not to touch the money.
We didn't touch it, we were just admiring it.
Admiring it, dad? Lola knows the money's gone.
She's watching closely.
It wasn't me! Your dad tempted me.
-You're an angel. -Me?
I don't know you at all. Listen,
I'm locking this up real tight.
-Okay. -No need for that!
No need to overreact!
Damn...
There goes our love-love...
-What's this? -Stop!
What's this?
Honey!
-Thank you, Ms. Estela. -It was you,
-wasn't it? -What?
-What happened? -You took my money.
You hired some tramp. You found the key in my bag,
-and stole my money! -What are you talking about?
You said you were on my side against your dad.
You betrayed me!
-What? -How did you know about my safe?
-What safe? -Stop answering with questions!
-It had to be you. -Are you admitting
you had a safe? That's where you kept
-the skimmed money. -My money!
That's right. I've been setting aside over the years.
For my retirement, my little savings,
-fruit of my labor. -You're unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
Are you...
-are you sure it wasn't you? -If it were me, Lola,
do you think I'd be asking for money to pay off Arthur?
I don't know if I can believe you...
I don't care if you believe me or not. Keep your son in check.
Gabriel? I've got him! I have bigger things to worry about.
I need to get back what's mine.
-Where does the card go, honey? -Don't insert, just tap it.
-There. -It didn't work...
It opened.
My God!
My God! This place is bigger than my house.
The best suite in Rio,
and it's all ours, honey..
I wanna enjoy every bit of it.
-What? -Check this out...
Come here...
-Come. -Look at this!
Great.
I want all the love, honey.
Right here on the floor!
On the floor? You haven't even seen the bed!
-Let's check it out? Let's go, honey. -Let's go.
-It's like a swimming pool! -Let me see this.
Look at these sheets.
So, fancy!
I can feel it, I'm feeling, I'm buzzing!
-It's like we're on a bus ride. -Must be a rich-people kink.
Honey...
You know your stuff.
That's why you're crazy about me.
Come here. Come here.
Worried about food when you've got a mermaid?
My God...
-Honey! -Call an ambulance.
Call an ambulance, honey. Something's not right, my love!
Damn it.
-Is Gisela still sleeping? -She decided to stay upstairs.
Ramona, Ramona,
I've been waiting for my green juice for half an hour!
I'm the one in charge, Lola.
The priority in this house is still my family.
My God, I'm so offended...
As if I actually wanted to spend time with you guys.
What's going on? Did they argue?
Not your business.
You could get a divorce already.
I could do a lot of things, father-in-law.
Lola's not handling the changes at the clinic well.
When, in fact, we should be the ones bothered
-by the cosmetics she invented. -Really?
She can do what she wants with her own money.
But that's not the case.
Your luck is that I took so much sedative,
I'm still doped up,
because otherwise, I'd slap you in the face, wise fairy.
Enough.
I'm not letting you ruin my day. Bye.
Doctor Átila, the driver didn't come today.
No problem, I'll drive myself.
Are you going to the opera again, father-in-law?
Send my love to the soprano.
I can't believe you stopped dancing, with all that talent.
Javier told me the same thing.
Can you believe he came here
to invite me to join a dance competition? Look at this.
Are you going?
Of course not. No way, Rog would hate it.
Rog. Javier didn't invite Rog, he invited you.
Look, auntie...
Andrea's coming over
to bring some dance clothes I bought.
When she gets here,
you're going downstairs.
You'll tell her you're going back to dancing.
This is not a request, it's an order.
Okay. Go.
Go. Watch out for the rug.
-Hey. -Hey.
What's going on, guys?
What? You went out to dance, and come back like this?
How'd you hurt yourself? Couldn't you send a message?
-We were worried. -I won't get into it.
After dancing, he decided to play a bit of soccer.
Yeah, and it was a great game.
-Right? -Yeah...
No, some guy came up from behind and fouled me.
I'm not twenty anymore. So things went wrong.
-Not wrong, it went awful. -Look at that. Samba, soccer...
What a night, guys?
I need a shower.
Don't use all the hot water, I need to shower.
-Alec? -What?
-Bring me the chair here. -Sofia? Sofia?
Help me up.
-One, two, three, and... -Great.
-Bring me some coffee. -Sweetheart,
did you sleep with Alec? Did you?
-No, we slept in our own beds. -I see.
You know he still likes you, right?
Well, Alec and I have talked about it.
I've reconnected with a great love, Elvira.
Gabriel.
-What Gabriel? -Gabriel.
Gabriel, Lola's son?
You...
you're out of your mind.
-This isn't possible. -I've always liked him.
Now even more now.
But he doesn't even know who you really are. Get real.
Pretending to be someone else, and destroying his mother.
-I don't want to think about it. -Look, you still like Alec.
You're blind. You've always liked him, okay?
Be careful not to realize that too late.
I'm just warning you. Go, go, go. Leave me alone.
I want you to listen to me.
The first time I felt attraction for a man,
I was in college.
It came out of nowhere.
A classmate.
It was different, the way he made me feel.
Of course, I denied it at first.
I wanted to believe it would pass.
And it did.
For a while.
I met Ana.
She was beautiful,
talented, intelligent.
Ana helped me with everything.
We got married,
had kids...
We built a life.
But in bed...
In bed, I would close my eyes and think about my classmate.
Or about a man I had seen on TV.
This is something I've never told anyone.
It wasn't until later that I realized what pleasure was.
I started seeing male escorts.
And that became my life.
My secret life.
You gave yourself permission.
Many never get the opportunity before it's late.
But it was always just about sex.
At a set time and fixed price.
Why are you telling me all this now?
Because with you, it's different.
You awaken emotions in me that I never knew existed.
This partnership of ours,
our connection,
it's love.
Please,
respect my time.
What's this surprise, babe?
-I'm so curious. -Here, look. Here.
Calm down.
Here, like this. Hold on.
Look here.
-What? You don't like it? -I did, but
I thought it was something else.
Rog is taking care of his woman.
A little on this side now, so it doesn't look uneven.
-Okay. Yeah. -Okay? Here. Here.
-Let me put this. Wait. -Okay.
Here. That's it.
And now?
-And now? -We'll do it here now.
-Here? -On the forehead.
-Okay. -Let me do a bit more.
Because I put too much on the other side.
Okay.
There you go.
Take care of my baby
Girl!
On the forehead now.
Okay. Right here.
-Yeah. -My little thing.
Here.
Let me get this here. Better.
Done. That's it, that's it,
that's it.
That's it.
I want more.
-More. A little more here. -No, hold on. It's enough.
-Let me see. Okay. -That's it, that's it.
-Let me stretch your face a bit. -Good.
Let's go here. Look at this marvel.
Andrea, only you would come here to bring me these.
-Don't worry. -Thank you so much.
-Your house is beautiful. -It's my grandpa's, isn't it?
-Come in. I'll show you. -Got it.
Look.
But...
what about Gisela? How is she?
She's not doing well.
She's not well. My aunt's husband is a jerk.
But I'm trying to convince her
-to go back to dance classes. -That's important.
You know...
-What? -I'm going to call her down.
No, Carol. I'm on a schedule, I need to leave.
She'll be happy to see you.
-Carol. Carol. -Just a second, stay there.
Stay there, just a sec.
Right here, more.
That's it. How wonderful!
-Yeah. -Done.
You've got a visitor. I thought you were alone.
-Who? -Andrea. She wants to see you.
My God, how sweet, tell her to come up!
-Andrea, do I know her? -Andrea is my dance teacher.
I bet she came to insist you go back.
No, babe, she's my friend.
Gisela, you don't want to scare her
with that half-finished face of yours.
Right?
How can you let him talk to you like that?
What? Carol, she has a husband.
I know you're alone in the world,
but she has someone to care for her.
-I'm not talking to you. -What?
How long are you putting up with this jerk?
What the hell? Respect me, I'm your uncle.
-Did you see this? -Respect your wife.
Tomás didn't set limits, and she acts like this.
-Respect her! -Look at how you talk to me.
This is a lack of authority.
-Babe, it's over. -No!
-It's over. -She is crazy!
Calm down, I'll talk to her.
Andrea?
I came to drop off some things for Carol, I'm leaving.
-Don't worry about it. -Don't say it.
I'm happy to see you.
You know, I still think about you a lot.
It's like you're everywhere.
When I see someone on the street,
when I watch a movie, I think of you.
Then my head flies.
My head flies, and I think of you.
Even at work, I've been thinking about you, you know?
Andrea, please.
Let's try again.
I really want you.
-And I will talk to Carol. -Did I hear my name?
-Hi, sweetheart. -Hey, dad.
Hi.
I was talking to Andrea
about...
About how much you've improved with your dancing.
Yeah...
Carol is very brave.
She throws herself into what she loves, body and soul.
-Not many people do that. -That's true.
I'm not a coward at all.
I actually owe you an apology, my aunt
won't be able to come down so, I had you stay for nothing.
No problem. Will you walk me to the gate?
-Of course. -Thanks.
Here's your water. Anything else?
-No, no. -I can order food.
No. I'm not hungry or thirsty right now.
I'm just nervous. This...
This apartment, I don't know how you can sleep here.
I was happy here.
You've always been crazy about your dad.
Since you were little.
And me?
What do you think about me?
-What's the game this time? -No game.
I want to know the truth.
I'm your mother,
but, sometimes I feel like you see me
as some kind of monster.
-Why are you saying this? -Because a few days ago
you asked me if I killed your dad.
That's been on my mind. It still hurts, alright?
It wasn't easy to ask that.
But it didn't stop you, did it? No.
And now you're snooping around to find out about Rebecca Paixão?
You went to Átila, to Rog, you thought that wouldn't affect me?
-I don't want to argue, okay? -And why would we argue?
No, it's impressive
how this Sofia, even six feet under
still haunts our relationship.
Dad was investigating Rebecca's case when he died.
Did you know the woman who raised Sofia was Rebecca's mom?
I knew.
I barely talked to her, but Viviane told me.
I want to know why you went looking for that woman?
I keep wondering what she told you.
-I barely talked to her. -That's a lie!
But fine.
Fine. I can't control who you choose to believe.
Just remember that I'm your mother.
This is the word of a total stranger
versus who gave you life.
This is so good! Always wanted to try these.
One of the best street foods in Rio.
It's been in my top five since I was a kid.
Really?
What else is in your top five?
Condensed milk flan.
And Fluminense at Maracanã.
Condensed milk flan,
Fluminense at Maracanã.
What about dating?
Kissing?
They're not in the top five?
-Did I embarrass you? -No.
-I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
Relax.
-Are you single for a long time? -For a while.
And you?
I had an ex-fiancé
who showed up again to haunt me.
Gabriel.
Let's stop talking about ghosts.
-Sure! There's better stuff to do. -Exactly.
You're beautiful.
You too.
How about a walk on the beach?
Only if you tell me your top five.
I think we have more in common than I imagined.
I had a great time.
Until next time.
Bye.
Should we go inside?
Hold on.
I think you're right.
Let's take it easy?
You're playing hard to get.
I don't want to hurt you, Carol.
I'm not made of porcelain.
Shall we go?
Let's save it for another day.
What are you thinking about?
My mom stopped by yesterday.
My visits to Átila and Rog bothered the Argentos.
Did you open up to her?
That I think she's involved in the crimes?
No.
I know it's tough, Gabriel,
but being honest with your mom and asking her directly
could give you the answers.
No, no...
She'll play the victim, throw herself on the floor,
and deny everything.
Yeah.
Your mom is complicated.
What about your family?
Is it as crazy as mine?
Does she know about us? You barely talk about yourself.
What is this? I'm a suspect now?
No.
It's strange.
Not knowing those who are important in your life.
You don't seem like the lone wolf type, you know?
But what if I am?
What if I am a lone wolf in need of comfort?
Are you going to leave me alone?
I'm so grateful you came, Elvirinha.
I know you live far away. Let's stay here, okay?
Don't mention it, dear.
Call me whenever you need.
I'm so anxious, Elvirinha, I'm so anxious.
Actually, I'm lost, right?
Because I'm surrounded by sharks.
I've been scammed, a huge scam.
And I want to know who did it.
Give me your hand.
It was a man.
A man?
Could it have been Benjamin?
No.
Rog?
The detective?
Look closely.
The voice isn't telling me.
The voice isn't telling you?
Such bad vibes.
If the information is half given, I'll pay half.
Not all the dice have been rolled yet.
Review your strategies, the battle is still on.
Call in your allies and be ready.
Victory and defeat don't warn you when they arrive.
I'm shocked.
LOLALAND
Well, you all know I don't
keep secrets from my staff.
I'm going through a really tough time, people.
I've had a huge blow,
and that means I...
Look, to get through this, I really need to count on
my Lolaland family.
You're my family, right?
-Of course. -Yes.
-We need to increase
our sales of procedures and injectables by double.
But we're packed, we can't take on more clients, Lola.
But of course! Listen, Lolaland
is the biggest aesthetic clinic in Rio de Janeiro.
And it's not just for rich people.
It's for the middle class to feel rich too.
And we can't forget our friends from class C,
-and class D. -They don't have money for this.
We'll create new payment plans.
Installments up to ten times, throw in freebies.
Class C loves freebies.
-Operators. Listen up. -Yes?
Call
all the clients who've passed through that door,
especially the insecure ones,
the depressed ones, the LGBTQ+, they love to spend,
let's take advantage of that.
Listen, we need to blow up our revenue this month,
or everyone's out on the street.
Is that what you want?
-No! -Jesus!
You're dismissed.
-Go, girl, are you crazy? -Sorry.
Crazy Marlene...
Keep my schedule blocked for Tuesday morning.
Try to fit in the appointment
for Sulamita, for tomorrow. She's been bugging me
-about this. -Busy schedule?
The price of being famous.
Just get to the point, kid. I'm really busy.
Did you know that Rebecca Paixão died
after being operated on by a famous doctor?
Rebecca... Rebecca...
Geez, such an old story, isn't it?
Yeah, old and unsolved.
That's why I'm taking a closer look at the case.
Why should I care?
Rog was one of the suspects.
As far as I know, you and he do surgeries together.
We've worked
on a few surgeries together, sure.
But I'm not the only one he operates with.
Did you get interrogated back then
-by my dad or Viviane? -Listen.
-Do you have a warrant? -Don't worry, Benjamin.
I came to talk.
People are complaining about me to Lola.
Look, Gabriel, honestly, here between us,
stop bothering me.
Go find your crowd, I have more important things to do.
Go.
Don't bother opening your mouth to give bad news.
I did the math, it's possible to renegotiate
the payment terms for Lolaland Products.
-But you have to pay a fine. -A fine?
Such a big deal, Alec!
It's the fifth time Ernani calls me.
-What am I supposed to say? -Invite him for a drink.
Flirt with him.
I'm sure he's interested in you.
And you, Zuckerberg? Let's go.
-Did you close sponsorships? -I'm trying, Lola.
But after Viviane's death and the mess with Pelvis Perfect.
The brands got scared.
-They're hesitant, of course. -That just means
you're good for nothing. Like the idiot who left.
I'm giving my best.
Benjamin invited me to work at his clinic, you know?
Are you threatening me, girl? What's going on?
Did Benjamin buy you? Is that it?
It was you.
-You helped him steal from me! -I would never do that.
I haven't forgotten how you got into my life,
trying to deceive me! Get out of my office.
Out. Out. Leave.
Both you and your friend.
You're a bunch of idiots! A bunch of idiots!
I heard Gabriel was here. What did he want this time?
That kid's digging into that Rebecca Paixão case.
That insufferable kid.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Isn't it?
Not always.
You, for example, don't really resemble me.
A lot of times you're weak, you hide,
you're afraid to stand up for what you believe in.
I never see you being firm against Lola, for example.
Is that the crap Tomás is feeding you?
Should I believe you're not conspiring with her?
What I want most is to get rid of Lola too.
Good.
What are you waiting for?
-They stole you at the mansion? -Of course not. I'm not stupid.
It was a special safe.
By the way,
that's where I got the money to pay you.
Are you implying I had something to do with this?
I don't know.
-Why? Do you? -No.
Of course not.
I want you to find out who took my money.
Alright, I'll look into it.
Very well. Just one more thing.
The mother of that beggar is causing problems.
Nara?
Do you want her address?
No, no, no. I've got too much on my plate.
I want you to bury this story once and for all.
Six feet under.
Got it?
Arthur's pressuring me, man. He wants his money.
Tell him to be patient.
How do you tell a thug to be patient? Tell me. Are you crazy?
One problem at a time, Rog.
Right now, Gabriel's the one on us.
Did you talk to the guys I told you?
Then relax.
They'll take care of him.
That's it.
Hey, I'm heading out. Anything I should bring,
other than my irresistible urge to kiss you?
Hey, just heard your message.
No, you can come over. I even lit candles for us.
Lola?
Will you invite me in, or will you treat me like a pizza guy?
Come in.
You really dressed up!
Do you always look this put together at home?
-You're expecting someone, is that it? -No,
I was just getting ready to go to the movies.
No harm in having a little fling, Zuckerberg.
Honestly, at your age?
I was all over the place.
Geez.
And that perfume?
Let me smell it.
It's nice...
All perfumed,
made up,
well-dressed.
You're starting to look a lot like me.
I'm kidding.
But I didn't come here to waste your time.
I'm here to apologize.
I was rude earlier.
I've been tense, you know. I spoke without thinking...
Don't worry,
I don't remember.
-It's fine. -That's great.
As a token of my appreciation
for your professionalism...
I thought about it.
I want to invite you to be my partner.
My trusted right hand at Lolaland.
So,
what do you say?
I'm on my way, okay? Last chance.
Beer or wine?
Don't move. Don't move.
-Get off the motorcycle. -Okay.
-It's alright. -Over there.
Take off your helmet.
Don't run. Don't close it.
Open this thing. We'll break in!
Open it.
My son... Excuse me!
My son, Gabriel Carvalho.
I want my son.
My Pom-pom...
They tried to kill my son.
My little Pom-pom...
So perfect.
My love...
Sofia,
they destroyed everything.
They wanted to kill me. I'm sure.
NO PARKING GARAGE
I lost my home.
I can't go back there.
-Drink some water. -Thank you.
You can stay here.
-A shock, but it'll pass. Stay. -I appreciate it.
It won't just pass.
They beat Gabriel up. He's in the hospital.
Damn.
They're cornered, scared.
We need to be more careful now.
They're going to play dirtier.
What the hell? What's this? Are you crazy?
-What? -I'll kill you.
-Put the gun down.
-Are you insane? -My son is beaten up.
-All beaten up. It was you! -It wasn't me.
-It was. Then who was it? -It wasn't. It was Rog.
He said he'd scare him. I thought he was joking.
Then you should've stopped him. You should've do that!
-Put the gun down. -He's my son.
-Let's talk. -The most important thing
-in my life. -Don't do this.
-Put the gun down. Let's talk. -You're scared, right?
You're scared.
If you mess with my son, you mess with me.
I know you, love.
I'm your partner, your love. I know you better than anyone.
You're tough, but you hurt. I know you're hurting, babe.
You know, and still, you decide to leave me alone.
You bulldozed through everyone, Lola.
You made a million big decisions without telling me.
Don't even start with that.
I made you an offer, but you went with your father instead.
I didn't know if I could trust you anymore.
I was scared.
You lied to me so many times, babe.
I started to feel insecure.
You were right. I should've stayed by your side.
Want to know why?
Because my father doesn't value me at all, but you do.
Can you forgive me?
I've hit rock bottom.
My son doesn't deserve to suffer.
Nothing else will happen to Gabriel, okay?
You're trying to take advantage of me, aren't you?
You want to kill the man you love? Is that it?
Are you going to kill the love of your life?
Stop being crazy, Lola.
Give me that gun.
I just keep getting hit.
-In Lolaland I get no peace. -You shouldn't have skimmed
money from the machine. It drew too much attention.
Babe,
we both know it was you.
And look,
it's okay.
-Is it? -We're in this together, okay?
Yeah...
That machine malfunction was just bad luck.
If it hadn't happened, I'd still be taking
your dad's money without him noticing.
Yeah.
You know what? I need money too.
I want in on this scheme.
Now that my dad's giving me a shot,
I can overcharge on clinic machines,
he won't notice a thing.
Are you talking about stealing from him?
Me?
No, not me.
Us,
you and me, together. Like it's always been.
Benja, are you serious?
-I love you, babe. -Babe.
You're the love of my life, Lola.
You're crazy.
Crazy!
WANDA HORTA HOSPITAL
Saint Therese,
watch over my boy,
protect my son,
watch over this little light of mine,
here.
Protect my boy,
this little perfect angel of mine.
Dear Lord, poor thing.
Everything's going to be okay, my son.
It's going to be okay, my little boy.
Son...
You're going to be fine.
My love.
LOLALAND
Good morning, Mrs. Lola.
I tried calling you, but you didn't answer.
What more are you here to steal from me?
You've already taken my ideas, my machine.
You want to kick me out too?
I just keep getting hit.
-In Lolaland I get no peace. -You shouldn't have skimmed
money from the machine. It drew too much attention.
Babe,
we both know it was you.
And look,
it's okay.
-Is it? -We're in this together, okay?
That machine malfunction was just bad luck.
If it hadn't happened,
I'd still be taking
your dad's money without him noticing.
Benjamin,
why did you do this?
I should turn you over to the police.
Calm down.
Benjamin made me say that.
-I never... -You confessed!
No, let me explain!
Please, I...
Look, my son is in the hospital.
I don't care!
Call security.
Security?
You're out of Lolaland.
You can't do this.
Get this woman out of here.
Let go of me! No, this is mine.
This is my home!
Let me go!
Stop!
No!
My empire!
