If he bothers me again, I'll destroy him.
-Hey, girl, are you okay?
-I might leave tonight,
but I'm leaving with my dignity.

Fucking hell. This again.
Enough with this skirt.

I'm always ready.
Are you ready to put me on-air?
Of course.
That's not what I heard.
What's this about a special edition
of the news in my time slot?
As if the news 
could ever compete with Divina.
VIOLENCE SPREADS AROUND THE COUNTRY
You go live in 15 minutes. I promise.
I turned down a prime time show
to be in this shitty Greek circus
because you guaranteed 
I was going to be a national star.
And you are.
That's not what the viewers say!
Either you put me on-air in ten minutes,
or you can go to hell!
PRODUCTION

Are you okay?
I don't know.
It's been a hard day.
This job
I thought you liked it.
What?
Do you think I like being a gofer?
Or getting yelled at all the time?
This show
The Olympian gods
You know none of this makes sense, right?
You don't.
Nina, yesterday you said 
you were tired of being the good girl.
Miss Goody Two-Shoes in college.

The government has declared
a state of emergency.
The situation has spread 
throughout many Brazilian cities.
There is no official explanation 
for what is happening.
The aggressors are not technically alive.
There are reports of people,
dead and hurt, attacking each other.
The police advise that everybody
seek shelter immediate--
[high-pitched droning]
No, no. Please, no.
[snarling]
Go away!

Good morning.
Stop staring, teacher. 
All of this here belongs to someone.
It does. Me.

-Chill. I didn't mean anything.
Where's the egg?
Madonna ate the last one yesterday.
I had written my fucking name on it.
[tense music plays]
Marcos! Marcos!
Come on, man!
-[Madonna] What the fuck?
-[Marcos] It was mine!
-What are you talking about?
-You ate my egg, you faggot.

Production, I want out.

You jackass.
Get out of my face, asshole!
So, am I a prisoner? Is this a prison?
TK, why are you dressed like this?
Are you trying to get penalized?
-Sorry, but how long have you been awake?
-About half an hour.
-And all this time without a microphone?
-Oh, Jehovah, I forgot!
I will kick your ass, Marcos.
You should've left!
-Not Jessica!
-Hey, guys?
Something is wrong.
-Something is wrong!
-Of course!
-This beast wants to hurt me. 
-What beast, you idiot?
-What, beast isn't in your vocabulary?
-Hey! Listen up!
I'm trying to say something really weird 
is going on here.
What?
Zeus
he didn't wake up today.
[dramatic music plays]
[wet squelching]
[snarls]
Do you think the ratings went down?
-No way, we're a success.
-No.
They're doing it on purpose.
They want to see 
how we react without authority.
Well, I'm scared.
That's what they want.
-Don't fall for that.
-I'm going to the roof.
We're not allowed up there, TK.
Well, if they don't react,
we'll know something's wrong.
[snarls]
[in English] Oh, my god!
It's a new contestant!
[contestants applauding]
[Marcos laughs, cheers]
