Camila!
I need to see Camila.
Camila's not here.
I know she's inside.
Well, Camila's not here,
and the bar is closed.
Excuse me, I need to talk to
[grunts]
My man, what you need
is to get out of my face.
[grunts]
[bubbling]
Camila disappeared.
The cop is still alive too.
[sighs]
What happened to you last night?
Nothing, Grandma. I just need a shower.
What do you mean, nothing?
You were out the whole night.
I was so worried I couldn't sleep.
I got stuck at work.
Sorry, I should've called.
You really should have told me, you know?
I mean it,
you have to tell me what's going on.
Let me take a shower.
I told you everything's okay.
I'm only here to help you.
And if I'm not helping, tell me,
I'll go back to my place.
No, Grandma, it's not that. Hey!
[footsteps receding]
[sighs]
You still got that ID?
Why don't we call Inês to testify.
I thought about it, but Ivo won't let us.
Screw what Ivo says.
[suspenseful music playing]
[echoing] Is something wrong?
Are you okay?
[man] Thank you so much for coming.
I know a visit like this is unusual.
Just like you, I want to get
to the bottom of this as soon as possible.
Great.
So I've been told
you guys are investigating a new case
that has to do with some body
they found in the forest.
I don't understand what's going on.
Dr. Afonso, the EPD will investigate
anything that could be connected
to the dispute over Cedar's Forest.
What dispute?
All that land is mine.
None of these people
have a right to be there.
With my development,
that place is gonna end up
so much more secure and protected, Ivo.
[sighs] If we can prove
everything is all right,
you got nothing to worry about, right?
Look the lab report on the fish.
There was nothing.
I'd never do anything
to harm my own property.
How did you get access to this?
Ivo, what we need is more guys
with your skills
and not inside of a precinct.
Think about everything you could do
if you worked somewhere
where you aren't taken for granted.
Imagine it, Ivo,
you could be a real politician.
How about that, huh?
I knocked on her door but no one answered.
Go back. Try it again.
Look, pal, I told you
Camila hasn't been here since yesterday.
[jet engine roaring]
[sniffs]
[sniffing]
[pants]
Camila! Camila!
Wake up, wake up, wake up,
Camila.
Camila.
- I'll use the little shovel.
- I'll take the dinosaur.
- What are we gonna play?
- Let's go in the sand.
Okay. I'm gonna build a really big castle.
[Januária chuckles] Thank you
for bringing Melissa over.
[woman]
You don't need to thank me, Januária.
It's been so hard trying to get Luna
to go back to a normal life again.
Hmm. Doesn't surprise me.
- To go through trauma like that.
- Oh, yeah.
It takes time to recover from that.
[bird chirps]
[chirps]
I don't know what happened.
I brought him to the bottom of the sea,
and I I tried to get him, you know
[Inês] But he didn't die.
I don't think he's got anything to do
with Manaus' death.
You saying you couldn't kill him
or you didn't want to kill him, Camila?
Inês, I already told you,
he survived.
If this man survived, then it's because
there's something very different in him.
I'm gonna find out what.
[Camila] Wait. Let me bring him here.
Do it tonight.
[Tutu] Inês
police are outside waiting to talk to you.
Go ahead, go ahead.
[man] Please.
Eric.
[snaps]
Thank you for coming, Mrs. Inês.
My name is Márcia. This is Eric.
It's a pleasure, Márcia.
And please, call me Inês.
I know him already.
Follow me, please. This way.
Inês da Luz. Shall we begin?
How did you get the body
out of the morgue?
Let's start from the beginning,
one thing at a time.
How well did you know Manaus?
He was almost like a son.
And no, I didn't take his body
out of the morgue, of course.
But I'd really like to have it.
Manaus deserves to have a real burial
like anyone else.
[Eric] When you left the morgue,
the body stayed?
You didn't notice anything strange,
nobody suspicious?
No.
Do you know anyone
who might have interest in Manaus' death?
Anybody, a neighbor?
No.
When's the last time
you were in contact with him?
[Inês] About three months ago.
That's a long time for someone
who thought of Manaus like a son?
[echoing] You mean to say that you talk
to your mother every day, Márcia?
Can you tell us where you were
last Monday night?
I was working.
My employees can confirm that.
And Camila can confirm.
- What do you want with me, huh?
- [Márcia] Hey!
What are you trying to pull here?
Eric, outside.
[door opens]
- What the fuck was that?
- It's clear this woman's hiding something.
Who's Camila? How does Inês know you?
- I went to her bar last night.
- The bar? Are you serious? Why?
I want some answers, Márcia.
Oh, yeah? Then why didn't you call me
to come with you?
What are you trying to hide?
I'm not hiding anything.
I just can't sit and wait.
- That's it.
- Pay attention to me!
Remember how hard it was
to get Ivo to let us work this case?
Do you wanna ruin that?
So please slow down.
I'm going to do
all the interrogating from now on.
Who are you two interrogating?
I just want to thank you
once again for your time.
Oh, come on. It's no problem at all.
And I'm very sorry for your loss.
We were just doing our jobs.
[Ivo] What job? What fucking job?
Interrogating the victim's
mother like that?
And there's this. The case is closed.
[Márcia] What is this?
The report we got back from the lab.
The company has
no involvement in the death of the fish.
Ivo, there's a whole body
that's gone missing.
Isn't that enough reason
for an investigation?
It's not our problem.
The morgue or Homicide can go after it.
There's no evidence that the company
or the pregnant girl's ex-fiancé
were ever involved.
Time for this to end.
Eric? Wait, Eric.
I knew he'd bury this investigation
if he could.
- Kicking the door is gonna help?
- And pretending nothing is happening will?
It's not just Gabriela, Márcia.
This forest can't be handed
to someone like that.
Eric, I'm pissed about all this too,
but with no body, or something new
we don't have anything.
Ivo had to come by
right when we were interrogating Inês?
Eric, this Inês girl, she's
What is it?
How'd she know I don't talk to my mother?
[Eric] She didn't know, she just guessed.
But she sounded so certain.
I don't know, Márcia.
[truck starts]
TORÉ VILLAGE
[João] Now that everyone's here together,
let me tell you.
They're going to offer each of you
30% more for your houses
then they were going to.
There's no way
we can refuse that now, guys.
And since we don't have fish.
[João] Exactly. We can't handle
taking care of a place this big anymore.
We're gonna end up losing
the place we love the most for
for greed.
- For an outrageous reason.
- [woman] Yes.
There are no more fish here now.
How are we gonna make our living?
We'll have to accept it.
But look everyone has to say yes
or there's no deal.
I'm not going to sell my house.
But, Ciço, if you don't sell your house,
you will ruin things for all of us.
I'm with Ciço.
I'm not abandoning our home.
Fabiana, why are you making things
difficult? The majority has said yes.
Just because the majority said yes
doesn't mean it's right.
We've never seen anything like this.
What if they poisoned our fish?
It's here. The report.
Negative for water poisoning, Fabiana.
You think they aren't lying?
It's written, read it!
The people who actually fought
to protect our forest
are all dead.
I want to know if any living person
cares about this place we've got?
- What's this?
- Of course everyone here cares, Ciço!
Everyone here loved this place so much
but then look at everything
that's gone wrong.
For God's sakes, Dad.
This eco-resort is the only way
to keep this place that we love alive,
protected.
- [scoffs]
- Hey, Dad. Dad!
- [woman] Ciço.
- [sighs]
[João] Guys, you need to believe in this.
Maybe he'll change his mind.
Yeah, he is! It's the only way
to keep this place alive.
[waves crashing]
[Ciço] What are you doing here?
I just wanna talk to you.
I have nothing to say to you.
Everything that's happening is linked to
what you were saying the other day, right?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Ciço, I saw a dolphin turn into a man,
and a mermaid tried to drown me.
I know this is linked
to what happened to Gabriela.
And I need you to help me.
[sighs]
They live alongside us, Eric,
ever since man became man.
Are you one of them?
I'm just a man who believes in it.
The night of the party,
something else happened, Ciço.
I know it wasn't a fire
that killed Gabriela,
but it also wasn't a person.
What are those things?
Those things are mirrors of us.
Ciço?
You know the way back to town.
[indistinct chatter]
[sighs]
[Ciço] They live alongside us, Eric,
ever since man became man.
- Eric.
- [gasps]
Relax. I need to talk to you, Eric.
But far away from here.
Get in the car.
[truck door opens]
[truck starts]
[bird chirping]
And don't you miss your place?
- Grandma, I wanna go home!
- What's wrong, my love? What happened?
[Januária] Did something happen?
I don't wanna be here anymore.
[Ana] Fine. All right. Let's go. Okay.
We're going.
Sorry, Januária, I'll give you a call
when we get home. See you.
- [Melissa] Let's go.
- [Ana] Calm down.
[Januária] Luna?
Luna?
Luna?
He died.
Who died, my love?
[Januária] Don't be afraid, baby girl.
Death is just a part of life.
The little bird went to Heaven,
he's there with Mommy.
[Camila] Mother of Water, Iara,
Mermaid, there are a lot of names.
But why did you try to kill me?
I was killed by someone I loved.
But when I was brought back to life
by the ocean,
I began taking different men
to their deaths.
It's my curse now.
But you didn't drown.
You were the only one.
Were you the ones who killed Gabriela?
Mm-mm.
I don't know anything.
But trust me, Eric
stay away from Inês.
Nah, I don't trust any of you.
I just wanna help you.
[cell phone ringing]
Hey, Grandma.
Okay, coming home now.
- I need to go.
- Let me try and help you.
Eric, don't show up at Cafofo, okay?
Here, this is my address.
Meet me there tonight, Eric.
She's not gonna stick to the plan.
You have to be quick.
[sniffs]
[spitting]
[spits]
Whoa there.
[Tutu] Good evening.
[sighs]
So what happened?
She found a dead bird in the backyard.
[Eric] What do you mean, a dead bird?
I I don't know. She
She dug a grave to bury the little thing.
She had scrapes all over her hands
and I talked to her.
Eric, she's not doing well.
She reminds me of you
when you were a child.
But what exactly
was wrong with me back then?
[Januária] Ah, it's hard to say,
but you would have these episodes,
you couldn't sleep properly,
you looked disturbed.
But, then, eventually it went away, right?
It did. Once I took you
to a spiritual healer.
Oh, no, for God's sake, Grandma.
- Not this story again.
- Wait a minute.
He had to close off your body
and then the nightmares stopped.
- I think we should take Luna to see him.
- No.
We already talked about this.
What she needs is time.
No. [clicks tongue]
What Luna needs is you.
But I am right here!
You're not!
You're never home,
you barely look at your daughter.
I don't know
what's going on with you, Eric.
Listen, I'm trying to find out
what happened to Gabriela.
That doesn't matter anymore.
Luna is here right now.
Please, she needs you to be here.
[Eric] Luna said
we need to make a decision?
[Gabriela] No, the school's principal.
Are you listening to me?
Yes, I'm listening.
Sorry, I got distracted.
[sighs] You never pay attention
when it's about Luna's school.
[Eric] Of course I pay attention, Gabi.
It's just I know
you're gonna make the best decision.
Yes, that's what I mean.
I always have to decide on things.
Come on, Eric, you could learn
how to take care of things.
What if I wasn't here?
Gabi, don't talk like that.
I help when I can.
I don't need you to help me be her mother.
But what I need is
for you to be her father.
[kissing]
Hi, I I'm looking for Camila.
Camila's not here.
No? Was she here at all today?
It's okay, I'm a friend of hers.
Uh, look, she came by earlier,
but didn't go in.
I saw her leaving with her friend.
A friend?
Yeah. He's tall, big beard.
Okay, thank you.
Ow, Tutu!
[low growl]
[sighs]
[sighs]
[rock music playing on speakers]
[sighs]
Buddy, excuse me.
[clears throat] Bro.
- Hey! Hi.
- Yes?
Have you seen Camila around?
Camila?
Yeah, the singer.
No, sorry.
Hey. I've got a message, man.
Camila is waiting to see you
in the dressing room.
[door slams]
[suspenseful music playing]
[sniffs]
[clatters]
- [door slams]
- [gasps]
[door rattling]
[echoing] You've been
snooping around too much.
There are some things in this world
that aren't ever meant to be found,
you see.
Where's Camila?
Camila can take care of herself.
She learned that
the most difficult way she could.
What are you saying?
I'm not wasting my time with you.
A shadow in your room.
That's how it all started.
You thought it was a monster.
You tried sleeping but you couldn't.
You would call for your mom
and she'd come.
So you, Eric,
you can push it to the side,
but it will never leave your mind.
Come here, come.
Sit here, my love, sit down.
Come. Sit down.
There's no use trying to forget
or trying to sleep.
It feels like someone
is stepping on your chest.
[faintly] stepping on your chest.
You try to sleep, but you can't.
You want to scream,
but your voice won't come out.
[singing lullaby]
[continues singing]
[door creaks]
[man] Father Oxalá, please
come to me, I need your help.
Come to me, answer my call, Father Oxalá.
Come to me, Oxalá.
[indistinct vocalization ]
[man] Come to me
[doorknob rattling]
[loud thud]
[gasps]
["Ye-Mele" playing]
