DECEMBER 31S
- [people cheering in distance]
- [soft music playing on record player]
[beeps]
[woman] The 31st of December.
Eleven hours, 57 minutes.
The year I lived two different lives
[sniffles]
is coming to an end
[soft music increases volume]
I fell in love with two men
[laughs bitterly]
and one of them is dead.
It's all my fault.
My God, It's all my fault.

LADY VOYEUR
THREE MONTHS EARLIER
[beeps]
[woman] Wednesday.
First of October.
I am now 28 years old.
It's 9:30.
It's my birthday,
but I don't want to see anyone.
Not up close, at least.
[intriguing music playing]
I like it like that,
to watch without being seen.
And ever since Cléo's moved in,
I've seen the most interesting things.
[keyboard clacking]
Cléo's building has
a pathetic security system,
even a child could hack into it.
They should hire me.
[music intensifies]
All right. Where is he?
Ah, there you are.
I don't know this one.
Must be a new client.
[chuckles]
Interesting.
Kind of mysterious.
He looks like he's a big shot, too.
There's something off about this guy.
He's looking at her coldly.
[exhales]
Jeez.
[music continues]
I miss Friday's client.
FRIDAY
[music fades]
[sensual piano music playing]
That Friday client is so hot.
[laughs]
FRIDAYSEPTEMBER24.MOV
[sensual music intensifies]
I can't get him out of my head.
FRIDAYSEPTEMBER17.MOV
FRIDAYSEPTEMBER03.MOV
FRIDAYSEPTEMBER20.MOV
Total opposite of this guy.
[music fades]
[woman] Huh.
So, he's leaving?
Without doing anything?
Even she's disappointed, that poor girl
[soft melancholy music playing]
At least he paid, right?
[beeps]
ENCRYPTING FILES
[music continues]
[doorbell rings]
[music fades]
- [groans] Go away
- [doorbell rings]
- [sighs]
- [doorbell continues ringing]
[woman 2] Good morning, sunshine.
- [chuckles]
- Early bird as always.
[woman 2] Come on, Miranda.
If I didn't bring you breakfast,
you wouldn't eat in the morning.
I'm meeting Otto later
and I'll need energy, you know?
I can only handle a man like that
if I'm running on a full tank.
No, not "man". He's more
I think he's like
a Greek God,
or a monument or something.
He's way too hot. Ugh.
- Miranda, he's like a sex machine.
- A sex machine?
[Rita] I really mean it!
The other day,
he put whipped cream all over my body.
- Ew, that's so gross.
- He licked it all off me.
Then he pushed me
on top of the washing machine.
And did I run away?
No, darling. I just let him
do me on the washing machine.
The thing was shaking like blah!
- And I was all [shrieks happily]
- Rita, for the love of God.
- It's too early for that.
- [laughs]
Ugh, you're obsessed.
[Rita laughs] Come on, Miranda,
don't be so silly.
I haven't met the guy,
so I don't like him yet.
Miranda, you're such a prude.
C'mon. Why don't you like him?
He doesn't have Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter, none of it.
- No.
- Nothing. That's suspicious, Rita.
No, he's just not online He's a shy dude!
Or married.
[scoffs]
You two don't go out in public.
Plus, you don't take pictures.
He doesn't know your friends.
I haven't even met him yet!
Right. Okay. You know what?
Whatever.
I've never met a guy like this. Seriously.
He's so sure of himself.
You'd never guess what he did yesterday.
Oh God, what did he do?
- Miranda
- Hmm?
He put a blindfold over my eyes.
Tied up my arms.
And he bit me all over my love handles.
All over them.
That was hot as fuck.
And you need a guy like that.
I don't know, Rita.
It's not a matter of needing it.
- These things are supposed to just happen.
- Yeah, they do.
But they won't if
you're always sitting at home. Right?
You can't just watch your
life pass you by, Miranda.
[cellphone chimes]
@CléoXXXSTARTED A LIVE VIDEO
Hey, guys.
Did you turn on notifications
for the neighbor's livestream?
I've got something to show you all!
I've just got it this morning.
- [Rita] Hmm.
- [giggles] It's an amazing gift.
Very special. Yes.
[Miranda] She has a more exciting life
than us both combined.
[Cléo exhales]
- [Rita] Speak for yourself.
- I can't tell you who gave me it
but I can say that it's a man.
who's really into toys.
[laughs]
Are you there, doctor?
[suspenseful music playing
Do you have the results?
I got it here.
DNA TEST REPOR
THE ALLEGED FATHER HAS 0% CHANCE
OF BEING THE BIOLOGICAL FATHER
0.000% CHANCE
[footsteps approaching]
Talk to you later, then. I have to go now.
Don't forget about our arrangement, okay?
I can discuss it with you later then.
- Sweetheart!
- Hi, dad.
So? How are you feeling?
I have to wear this but it's fine.
"Fine"?
You're fine because
I took you to the doctor.
You wouldn't be fine
if it was up to your dad.
Now, go get dressed.
- You're not skipping school.
- Okay, Mom.
[man] Diana!
Don't talk to her like that.
Dad, is there any food here? I'm starving.
Okay, I'll have Glória
prepare something for you.
Okay.
Does it hurt?
It's not that bad.
- [man] From one to 10?
- Six.
- [Or so. chuckles]
- Okay.
[cars zooming]
[melancholy music playing]
Nana.
Mmm. Nana.
And Jorginho?
Where's your mom?
Why didn't she come?
Mom couldn't be here, Nana. But
she sends her best.
Where is she?
Let's not worry about that, Nana.
Look what I brought you.
- [muttering]
- [gasps, laughs]
You love these. Look at that.
No!
Get away from me.
No, it's okay, Nana.
These are just pencils.
Who are you?
[tense music playing]
- No, no!
- It's
I'm Miranda, it's Miranda.
I'm your granddaughter.
- [Nana] Don't touch me!
- Nana? Nana, calm down.
- No! Let me go. Let me go!
- Calm down.
[Miranda on recording] Huntington's.
For most people, it's just a name.
To me, it's a curse.
[Nana yelling faintly]
[Miranda] She had another episode.
[doctor] So, have you taken the tests?
I told you, I don't wanna know.
Miranda, we've been over this.
It can start in your 30s.
Even earlier sometimes,
for certain people.
It needs to be checked.
I have a 50% chance of having the disease.
I mean, we already know that. Don't we?
That's more than enough for me.
[cellphone beeps]
[Miranda] Hallucinations, paranoia,
memory loss.
I'm scared to know if I have the disease.
Scared to forget who I am, who I was.
These recordings are for me,
in case I forget.
They're the crumbs
to find my way back to myself.
I need to remember everything,
even if I'd rather forget about the past.
[Nana] Jorginho?
Where's your mom?
Why didn't she come?
[tense music playing]
[woman murmuring indistinctly]
Holy Mary, mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death. Amen.
Holy Mary, mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death. Amen.
Holy Mary, mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
- and at the hour of death. Amen.
- [woman 2 sobbing]
[tense music continues]
Mom is dead.
And it's all your fault.
[tense music fades]
[dog yapping]
- Hi, neighbor! [laughs]
- Hi, Cléo!
Oh, Barbie! Are you so cute!
It's amazing how much my dog likes you.
And she doesn't
get along with anyone else.
She's picky you know! [laughs]
- Here, let me help you.
- Thank you.
Hey, uh, is everything okay
with your computer now?
Oh! Of course! The computer's great.
I have no idea where that virus came from.
You gorgeous little thing,
you're really a lifesaver.
You know? Thank you very much.
Of course. [chuckles]
- It's no problem at all.
- [cellphone beeps]
[Miranda] Oh, Cléo
You have no idea
how you saved all my Fridays,
He always gets there
at 11:00 p.m. sharp.
[chuckles] I'm waiting.
[soft sensual music playing]
But we're always ready 30 minutes before.
Heart racing, full of excitement.
[Miranda sighs] Amazing.
Things are different with him.
Everything is.
It's like I can smell it,
taste it.
[exhales]
And touch it.
[breathes shakily]
[sensual music continues]
[gasps softly]

[doorbell rings]
Hey!
- Cléo?
- Am I interrupting?
No!
- No, you're not.
- [Cléo laughs]
What's going on?
Is your computer okay?
No, it's not that.
I actually wanna ask you a favor.
A client invited me to spend the weekend.
You know, at his fancy hotel penthouse.
I can't lose this client.
He's handsome, a millionaire.
Owner of a luxury hotel chain. [laughs]
So, I wanted to know
if you could keep Barbie company.
It's only for two days!
Oh. Yes.
She could stay here at your house,
but look at her face.
Whenever I leave, she gets
a little depressed without me.
If you don't mind staying over
at my place, with her toys
- You get me?
- Yeah, sure.
[chuckles] Take her, she loves you.
I'd appreciate if you take her out
a few times and walk her to the park,
so she can go potty.
Here's the keys.

That's okay.
In fact, you're sexier than her.
Me? [laughs]
Oh

I'll pay.
Whatever you'd like.
And I have a proposal for you.
[breathes shakily]
What if we pretend
you're not a prostitute?
And I'm not a client?
I'm just the man of your dreams.

Is there anything I can do for you?
We have all night.
I want you to make me forget everything.
I want to forget my name.
[intense sensual music playing]
[music stops]
[money rustling]
[man] Is that enough?
I wanna see you again.
[beeps]
[Miranda] Eighth of October
Something really insane just happened.
The best sex of my life just happened.
[laughs, sighs]
It's possible I may forget
everything else in my lifetime.
But I won't forget him.
[laughs]
It's not even Friday.
[laughs]
[doorbell rings]
[man 2] Hi, is Cléo here?
We have an appointment. [chuckles]
- She's traveling. She's not home.
- Oh. I get it.
But you know how it is
I already paid,
I don't want to lose my money.
- You understand?
- No. I'm Cléo's neighbor.
I'm here to take care
of her dog, so you can go.
- Slow down.
- She's not home.
- Let's get to know each other.
- [Miranda] Can you leave? Please?
[tense music playing]
- Come here. I have something you'll like.
- What don't you understand?
- [Miranda] Go away. Help!
- Go ahead and just scream!
- That's just how I like it.
- [Miranda] Don't touch me!
- Wait. You know you want it.
- Get away from me!
- [Miranda whimpers]
- [man 2] I know what you like.
Just let me give it to you. Come here!
- [objects clattering]
- Hey!
[sickening crunch]
[Miranda panting]
[breathing heavily]
It's okay. Shh. Calm down.
- I was It was self-defense.
- Calm down. Calm down.
It's okay.
[man] Are you okay?
He has no pulse.
[tense music playing]
He's dead.
[music intensifies]
[thud]
- [glass shattering]
- Mom?
No! That wasn't my fault.
[sobbing]He was the one who attacked me!
[girl] And It's all your fault.
[hyperventilating]
I'm not a murderer, I'm not.
- I'm nothing like that!
- Calm down.
My God, what did I do?
[man] Calm down.
[sobbing]
[man] Please.
No one's gonna believe me.
No one's gonna believe me.
I do.
[Miranda sobs]
I saw it.
I'm here.
We have to find a way to fix this.
Look, when I got here,
no one was at the front desk.
Only we know he was here.
Cléo gives out the gate's access code
so her clients
don't have to give identification at all.
We need to erase his tracks.
As if he'd never been here.
Why are you helping me?
Because I know you're innocent.
[tense music playing]
My truck's in the garage.
Help me with him.
I'll take the body and get rid of it.
All right.
But I need to do something.
There we go. I've erased everything.
He's never been here. And neither have we.
- How do you know how to do all this?
- It's what I do.
Watch without being seen.
Find breaches in the system.
What's your name?
Fernando Couto.
And yours?
Miranda.
Wait, wait.
Someone in the elevator.
Let's see where he's stopping.
Okay. All clear now.
[tense music continues]
[Miranda] Be careful.
I know.
Now go and wait upstairs for me.
Stay there until I come back.
Please be calm.
[music continues]
WORKS AT PRADO - SÃO PAULO - SINGLE
LOVE YOU!! PERFECT BROTHER AND UNCLE
[Miranda] There's nothing
wrong with this guy.
He has a family. A life.
He's got a lot to lose.
[knocking on door]
It's done.
I'm turning myself in.
What?
I'm gonna do it.
What do you mean?
I'm turning myself into the police.
You can't go to the police.
Miranda, even if it
was self-defense, you killed him.
I saw everything.
I didn't call the police.
And I've hidden the body.
I'm your accomplice.
If you confess, I'll go to jail too!
This isn't the first time
I've been an accomplice to a crime.
We're in this together.
[sobbing]
My sister's husband is a fucking asshole.
He makes me so angry, I can't take it.
Me
Heitor, He's my sister's husband,
and Bernardo, we were close friends.
Bernardo drowned one night.
I found him in the pool.
It was Heitor who killed him.
Back then, I chose to believe
it had been an accident.
I covered for him.
But his case is nothing
like what just happened to you.
I never told anyone
about what I knew, but
I feel so guilty now.
I can't go back and undo what's been done.
But I need to save
my sister and niece from him.
My brother-in-law is Heitor Prado.
He owns a huge company.
He has plenty of hotels.
And a fortune.
He's very influential in
the international hospitality business.
But I suspect that it all might be
a cover-up for something illegal.
Illegal?
He might be involved in
an international sex trafficking scheme.
Fernando, are you sure?
Cléo was helping me out.
Some of her friends have gone missing
and we were worried
it might have to do with him.
Well, I wanna do something.
Tell me, how can I help?
Do what you do best.
We need to hack Heitor's computer,
and find out what happened to these women.
The hotel's IT system
has lots of problems.
[Heitor] Hi, Armando.
[Fernando] It's been driving him crazy.
No one can fix it.
That's where you come in.
I think I'm regretting
bringing you here, Miranda.
I don't want you to get hurt.
[tense music playing]
[Fernando] Who knows
what Heitor is capable of.
He's very cunning.
We need to be very careful.
Hi, Heitor. How are you?
Hey.
And you? Who are you?
Miranda.
[tense music swells]
[music fades]
THREE MONTHS LATER
[soft music playing on record player]
I fell in love with two men
[laughs bitterly]
and one of them is dead.
It's all my fault.
My God, it's all my fault.
