Codex 632 (2023) s01e02 Episode Script

1
Who are you? Why
are you following me?
Calm down, professor.
I'm from the Judicial Police.
We monitor the people with whom
Martinho Toscano had connections with.
But was he involved
in any trouble?
We found a voice recorder when
we searched his office. office.
Listen to it.
MARTINHO: "Give the
documents to Tomás Noronha.
"He'll crack the code.
If anything happens
to me, he'll send
everything to the police."
What documents
is he talking about?
We don't know.
But we think it
was they killed him.
TOMÁS: But wasn't he mugged
in Rio de Janeiro?
The coroner puts the time
of death to five in the morning.
But who killed him?
And why?
We don't know.
That's what we're trying to find out
with the help of the Brazilian police.
PHONE RINGS
It's crucial that we know
what the teacher wanted to give him
to see if it's connected
to crime or not.
Does it have to do
with the investigation in Brazil?
If I were you,
I'd be careful,
at least until we know
if it has to do with the research.
What evidence do the police have?
For the time being,
it's just suspicions.
Robberies are common in Brazil.
On the other hand, he wasn't doing well,
I had financial problems.
The documents I wanted to give you
have to do with research?
The police don't know.
If it wasn't a random robbery,
if someone wanted to kill him,
the motive was certainly different.
It's an investigation into
a subject more than 500
years old and, as we've said,
the temperament changed a lot.
He had enemies
that he was aware of?
No, not that I know of.
He's not going to give up
because of that, aren't you, Tomás?
Until I have information
about what happened, I
can't accept your invitation.
- I understand why,
but it's also imperative
to recover our research
and Tomas is the only
one who can do it. to do it.
- What do you want to accept?
- It's not about money.
Tomás, the Foundation has
connections all over the world.
If you help us, you'll have access to
the biggest and best historical collections.
Imagine how far you could
get with so much information.
Thank you, Tomás.
Has the board given permission for
the plenary session in the amphitheater?
We didn't ask. It will be at the
time the tuna was rehearsing.
- That's going to be a mess, Bruno.
- I hope so.
Or do you want to continue glorifying the colonizers
and promoting a romanticized vision of the Discoveries?
RODRIGO: Nothing better than
censorship to put everything in order.
Censorship? It's not censorship.
If you want to be taken
seriously, do things properly.
Come along You're very welcome.
At this age, you're not afraid of of anything,
not the government, the police, or the institutions.
We've also been demonstrations
against tuition fees.
We fought for education
for all, don't compare.
The Cancel Culture trend is to
deny space to historical figures
just because they behaved
that is now reprehensible.
You should go to plenary
to give your opinion.
- And get trounced by the students.
- Thrashed?
The faculty has a long
tradition of democratic debate.
We're all democrats, as long as as
long as we don't disagree with them, right?
There are words you don't say,
books are taken away, you know?
Radical kids think
they're morally superior.
You're mixing them up. Radical kids?
On the contrary,
they're fighting
against a single view of history and
are asking for respect
for the memory of minorities.
A rich white kid like him?
What's wrong with that? At
least he's doing something.
Are you going?
Yes. In fact, I expect
to be in the front row.
- You've always liked
trouble. TOMÁS: Victory.
- See you later.
- See you later.
I thought you'd be you'd
be flying over the Atlantic.
- I've missed the plane.
- You missed the plane?
I missed the plane. Come
here. Forget it, come here.
- Your wife called me.
- Constance?
- How many women do you have?
- What did she want?
It was strange. She wanted to to get something
off her chest, she talked badly about you.
- It was weird.
- Be quiet. Come here.
I'm joking. She said that Toscano's
wife was at your house this morning.
- Come here.
- I won't.
There's a tape. I'm not going.
Damn it.
Tomás, the police have already
been here. Let's get out of here.
- I know the police have been here.
- Then let's get out of here.
Tomás, stop!
They might have missed
something.
What might they have
missed? What could missed?
Just tell me,
and I'll help you look.
I don't know
what I'm looking for.
Have you talked to the
Foundation about this suspicion?
- I've just come from the Foundation.
VICTORIA: What did they say?
- They don't want me to give up.
- I'm going to contradict myself.
If the police tell you that this
dangerous, you'd better give up.
Forget it. You're like a crazy
person looking for who knows what.
I feel exactly the opposite.
The more questions arise,
the more I want to investigate.
HELENA: Shit.
Do you want help?
That's all right. Thank you.
- Are you sure?
- Yes, yes, I can do it.
TOMÁS: Let me
try, if you don't mind.
- It's the door that won't open.
- I'll see. Let me just look here.
I feel like a fool. I
didn't know I had a key.
- Just change the battery.
- Thank you. Don't forget this.
Don't forget this.
Professor, let me at least buy
you a coffee to make up for it.
PHONE RINGS What if you
can't open the car again?
Save me again.
The doctor just called.
The results of have come out.
Will you meet me at the
hospital? I didn't want to be alone.
TOMÁS:"Yes, I'll meet
you, See you soon."
Any changes? The blockage
It's still there and
unfortunately the
problem has worsened.
As much as I want to spare
Margarida from yet another surgery,
we're going to have to intervene.
I advise you to talk to her
and explain what will
happen from now on.
CONSTANCE SIGHS
And did you manage to identify him?
MAN: "No, the guy knew
there were cameras."
(SIGHING) Thank you.
A Portuguese historian
who worked
with Toscano goes to Brazil.
I'd like you to keep an eye on him.
Do you suspect him?
FROES:"No. But I'd like to know
who he's talking to."
I'll keep an eye on him.
"I don't want him to end up
like Toscano."
DIOGO:I've come to give you an answer
about the budget you sent me.
You'll be able to count on
more money than you asked for.
Thank you. I can't thank you enough.
I can't thank you enough.
Why don't you come to dinner with me
tonight?
I can't.
My husband is traveling.
I'm alone with my daughter.
Maybe another time.
And you won't get a babysitter?
TOMÁS:Thank you.
Good morning.
- Good morning.
I'm Tomás de Noronha,
a university professor.
I know that the
Américo Vespúcio
requested some documents
and books for me to consult.
WOMAN:The Foundation staff got in touch with me
because of the work work of Professor Martinho Toscano.
That's right. That's right.
I need to know everything
that has been requested.
I want to see
everything he consulted.
- That's fine. Just a minute.
- Of course, thank you.
And they accuse us of wanting
to rewrite history. But we don't.
All we want
is for history to be written,
without forgetting the people
who lost, who were humiliated.
Of course we have to
respect the facts.
But we cannot glorify
the
colonialists who have always
nurtured
and sowed slavery and racism for centuries.
These statues and symbols are an insult to
our democracy and to the progress of our society.
So, as long as this exists,
there will never be equality.
Never!
Statues are human constructions
that serve to glorify the figures of history.
So, if historiography is not immutable, the
symbols of that regime should not be either.
Civil disobedience is just
behavior when it opposes injustice.
Every day, every day, a statue will be torn down until there
is no other figure left that doesn't deserve to be celebrated.
Mr. Professor, do you
have anything to say?
Defend the perspective
of the colonizers?
We were open to dialog.
VITORIA: Rodrigo! Take it easy.
One day we'll have a committee of
students entering the library to burn books.
You receiving indications of
what to research and teach.
What an exaggeration. I don't
think that no one has anything to fear.
Now, those who
are intellectually
dishonest, they could
have serious problems.
There are subjects that aren't
worth dialogue, we'll never agree.
- No, we won't.
But to a certain extent I
understand your anger.
- Teacher, hello.
- Do you understand?
Excuse me. Do you have of
Professor Tomás de Noronha?
- He's in Brazil.
- I know.
I was supposed to send him
a document that I can't read.
- Do you have a point?
- Yes.
It's 91
- 91
- 54
33
Thank you. Thank you.
You shouldn't have given him the number.
I didn't give him Tomas's
number, I gave him mine.
I can read documents too.
There's a lot I know how to
do, Rodrigo. You have no idea.
Hello.
Professor Toscano left
some documents with me.
Pinzón?
Cabral, Cantino?
There you go Is that
the list of requisitions?
- Yes, I printed it out.
- Can I see it?
Which books have to do
with the discovery of Brazil
by Álvares Cabral?
- Let me see, excuse me.
Here. The "Cosmographiae
by Waldseemüller shows one
of the first maps
where Brazil appears and here below
the "Paesi",
by Montalboddo, was the first book in
which the discovery of Brazil was
the discovery of Brazil.
- These two?
- Yes.
And the other books?
As far as I know, they're not related.
- What year is the Paesi from?
- The Paesi is from 1507.
But here it appears
as being from 1508.
- You've made a mistake.
- Can I see it?
It's in the rare works section.
But how did the professor
consult it? On microfilm?
He consulted the original.
- I want to see the original, then.
- All right, then.
Thank you very much.
Dad, at last!
How's Rio de Janeiro?
TOMÁS: "It's hot just the
way we like it. How are you?"
I'm fine, I came for dinner
grandparents' house.
- Put Mom on.
MARGARET: "Mom's not here."
"He had a work dinner. Do you
want me to give him a message?"
That's all right,
I'll call her later.
WOMAN: "Daisy, come to dinner!"
MARGARET: "Grandma's calling to
the table. Have you had dinner yet?"
It's very early here.
It's not dinner time yet.
You go, otherwise the
food will get cold. Go on.
Professor Tomás?
I've come to see if you need
anything else before we close.
No. That's all for today.
That's all for today.
Thank you.
Have a good night.
And then full-time mom.
I spent a period of my life
not knowing what I wanted.
Sometimes.
And what is it that are
you passionate about?
No.
Congratulations
on your speech in plenary.
- Everyone. Heads up.
- I said what you wrote.
Let's spread our action
to the whole country.
Tomorrow, in Madeira, there will
be an attack on the Columbus statue.
And we're going to start a campaign to remove from libraries
books that promote a fascist fascist version of Portugal's history.
You know I'm counting on you,
as always.
CELL PHONE NOTIFICATION
Sorry, one second. I'll be right back.

Professor Toscano's
research for many years.
receive his correspondence.
LOURENÇO: He's told me
about you, more than once.
I'm glad it's Tomás
trying to finish his work.
The envelope got lost
in our mail distribution.
It had been sent from
Portugal by Professor
Toscano a few days
before he died, to the care of
our consul, but unfortunately
only now have we found it.
When you got it back
was it already open?
I think that's why that
we made the mistake.
The professor asked
us to take care of
the documents until he returned to Brazil.
I'm going to walk a bit.

inform Mr. Moliarti.
He can call me.

If you want company
No, I don't.
It doesn't have to be today, but I can give you my
address and you can come over whenever you want.
Here's the thing
There's something I'd like
to make clear.
If you need help, you can
turn to to any of my colleagues.
- It doesn't have to be me.
- What's the problem?
I'm not 18 anymore, I'm
not a graduate student.
I'm married.
Almost there.
CONSTANCE: The police
can get your computer.
The important thing is
the documents from Brazil.
- Order a coffee, please.
- I need you to be quiet.
At this hour?
You won't be able to sleep.
I need to mentally review everything I consulted
in Brazil to understand what could be important.
