Episode 4
1
This year, I had the chance
to meet some amazing people,
like the one I'm bringing on now.
He was my greatest find in 1988.
I know you're going to love him.
It's going to be great.
He's a winner and a great person.
Ayrton Senna!
I know you're excited,
but not more than I am.
Isn't he cute?
Ayrton,
becoming the champion in 1988,
was that your Christmas gift?
Becoming the champion in 1988 was a gift.
A gift from God.
It gave me the strength to keep pushing
for more races and victories,
and to try to defend my title in 1989.
Is there anything else
you'd like to get for Christmas?
Well, what I really want,
I can't say on here.
Why not?
It's not for all audiences.
- But I just wish lots of happiness for
- Whisper in my ear.
Whisper in my ear.
Say a few words to them.
I wish
everyone in Brazil lots of happiness.
Especially the children.
And, most importantly,
a lot of love, right?
Merry Christmas, little ones.
Now, for my great find of 1988,
Merry Christmas.
Happy 1989.
Happy 1990.
Happy 1991.
Happy 1992.
Happy 1993.
Speed up, slowpoke! Come on!
I'm going to overtake you.
Go.
Mrs. Neyde, I'm sorry
for dropping by unannounced.
No worries.
- You can call me "Zaza."
- Thank you.
And who are the little ones?
You! Are you the race car driver
of the family? Give me five.
Is your friend staying with us, Beco?
My girlfriend is staying with us, Dad.
I know you from somewhere.
Aren't you that presenter, Angélica?
Angélica rides cabs.
I ride a McLaren.
My car only fits one person.
- Then you can swim.
- Wait!
I like her, Beco!
Just picture the look of joy
on my parents' faces.
I was six years old
and the police brought me home
because I had borrowed their car.
The police officer said
it looked like the car was driving itself
because I was so small
that people outside
couldn't see me behind the wheel.
Who would've guessed
a preppy boy could be so rebellious?
- "Preppy"?
- What's with the neat hair?
Is that your personal style,
or is it a Formula 1 rule?
That's better.
Stop.
It looks better.
Sometimes being Xuxa can be tiring.
It's nice to be Beco's girlfriend
for a change.
It's nice to be Xu's boyfriend.
What are you doing?
I am
memorizing your curves.
You better memorize them.
What do you feel when you're there?
- Driving?
- Yes.
Everything.
Me, the car, the track
They all become one.
And I feel
everything under control.
And at the same time,
it's all unpredictable.
There's always a sense of danger.
And getting close to the limit
feels amazing.
Please, look. It cannot be.
Come on.
There, look.
And there you go.
I've had it! You've got to be kidding me!
I WISH I WAS THERE.
I'M ROOTING FOR YOU!
I WISH I WAS THERE.
I'M ROOTING FOR YOU! XUXA

SENNA: CLOSE TO PERFECTION
- Go easy on her, Beco.
- Stay in your lane, you motormouth.
- Let's make a toast.
- Not now, Galvão.
Because now I want to dance.
- She wants to dance.
- She wants to dance, go dance.
Come on.
Come on.
So, this is like your dressing room?
I guess so.
Cool.
Is that you?
Vivi and I.
That's so cute!
Look at that!
My first love fax.
- You kept it?
- Of course.
What time do you have to go?
Soon.
- I wish I could stay to watch the race.
- Stay then.
You know what I want?
Just the two of us.
Away from all of this.
Out in the wilderness.
- In a house full of little pets.
- Full of little ones?
I said "little pets."
I heard "little ones."
"Little pets," "little ones"?
Listen, you're already thinking
about little ones?
Well
in the future, who knows?
I see.
Are you nervous about New York?
No. Hardly at all.
Come here, Beco.
I want to tell you something.
From what I gather,
there are no races while I'm in New York.
I'd love for you
to come and see me on stage.
I would love to.
Really?
Here comes Senna, easily leading the race.
Prost is right there in second,
21 seconds behind Senna.
Senna arrives with extreme
With this result, now Prost's lead
Today, he's making up for lost ground
with a provisional victory here in Italy.
Senna's engine fails
with only eight laps to go in the race.
Talk about bad luck!
That's exactly what Prost wanted.
That's bad luck.
retired after having issues that made
You're done, Senna!
I miss you.
I'll arrive three days before the show.
But I promise I'll have time
for us to enjoy New York, okay?
I'm really happy
we'll get to spend time together.
it's so beautiful.
I'm sure it's beautiful.
I want to take you
to those places we talked about.
Are you arriving on Wednesday?
Beco?
Beco, can you hear me?
Xu, uh
- I'm sorry, can I call you later?
- Sure.
Okay. Kisses.
You were perfect.
Yes!
It's from him.
It looks like he can't come.
XU, I WISH I COULD BE THERE.
YOU'RE A STAR! LOVE, BECO
How about a picture
to capture this moment?
Please.
Ayrton, does McLaren
have a favorite driver?
If you win here and he doesn't score,
it will all be decided in Australia.
- Prost is really strong there
- Congratulations on the interview.
In Monza? Prost told everyone
I'm talking about the Imola agreement.
"Imola Pact" was what you wrote
in the magazine, right?
You should fact-check before publishing.
- What is your version of the agreement?
- You've already picked a side.
I didn't pick a side.
I'm only doing my job.
You're not doing a good one.
Wow, that son of a bitch.
Oh, right.
Come on, then
I'm tired of this bullshit!
Asshole!
One month before
the first direct presidential elections
after the military regime,
the leader in the polls
is Fernando Collor de Mello
from the National Reconstruction Party.
Oh, poor thing! Did she fall asleep?
and Lula, from the Workers' Party,
for a spot in the second round.
For this news and much more
Prost has no chance.
It'll be like last year. Senna will win.
Coming up, the excitement
of the Suzuka Formula 1 Grand Prix!
Once again, the championship
could be decided here in Suzuka.
But this year, Prost has the upper hand.
He needs to win today, right?
He needs to win
since Beco has fewer points than Prost.
If Beco doesn't win,
Prost will be champion.
Ayrton has secured another pole position,
his 12th of the year, folks.
But let's wait for the race to start!
Last year, Ayrton had issues at the start,
but then he had an amazing comeback
and won the race.
- And he won the championship.
- Yes.
Prost starts in the lead.
Senna right behind him in second.
Alain Prost has taken the lead.
Ayrton studies the track
and waits for the right moment.
Prost has been pushing the pace
to force a mistake
or another mechanical failure for Senna
because he doesn't need to win.
He just needs Ayrton to drop out.
Senna was seven tenths faster on that lap,
cutting into Prost's lead!
Every tenth of a second counts
in the race for the title!
Senna is waiting for a gap!
Yes, in fact, he's studying his adversary.
hasn't presented itself yet
for Senna to attempt to overtake.
Here he comes!
There's less than a second between them!
It's a close call!
It's a showdown between giants
here at the Japanese Grand Prix!
The race is reaching its decisive climax.
He hasn't yet found an opportunity
to try to overtake the Frenchman.
Maybe now he'll make his move.
Senna is trying to find a gap.
He's waiting for a mistake.
Senna tries to pressure him,
but Prost uses all his experience
to hold back Senna.
Yes, folks, the Frenchman is resilient.
He looks for the yellow helmet
in the rearview mirror.
He's doing his best to protect himself.
We're 40 laps in,
and Ayrton's still waiting for his chance.
He can't wait forever, right?
Yeah, because all this time
behind Prost can wear out his tires.
- And that could be an issue at the end.
- Come on, Beco.
And Prost benefits from this crash.
Now Alain Prost could get the title.
Prost leaves his car.
But Senna asks for the car to be pushed!
Come on!
Senna will try to rejoin.
There's been a collision. Senna
Ayrton Senna rejoins
after the collision with Prost!
This is the 48th lap,
and Senna speeds up his McLaren!
Senna asked to be pushed back on track
for the win he must claim at all costs!
Prost walks back towards the pits.
He doesn't look happy at all
following his forced retirement.
This is sure to cause a stir at McLaren.
Senna's cutting the chicane.
What will the FIA do?
He's risking a penalty.
Ayrton rejoins in second place,
just behind Nannini!
There's a five-second gap,
and only four laps to close it.
It's a near-impossible task
for Ayrton to win the title.
But nothing is impossible
for the Brazilian driver.
The finish of the Grand Prix
in Suzuka is intense!
Ayrton Senna will have to step
on the gas to win.
He's closing on Nannini
with grit and determination.
He's giving everything he can
because victory is the only choice
for Ayrton Senna.
Ayrton Senna fights against time!
Right now, at the chicane!
Nannini brakes, Ayrton Senna overtakes!
With determination, there he goes!
- On the way to his second title!
- Nice, Beco!
When everyone had lost hope,
Senna returned to the track,
took the lead, and stayed in
a championship that seemed all but lost!
And, as usual, Senna is back in the race.
What a fantastic
Crazy.
Here he comes for the win!
Go for it, Ayrton!
Into the final corner
with precision and control!
Ayrton Senna from Brazil!
He's gave it his all!
With all his determination and drive!
Brazilian flags everywhere here in Suzuka!
Everyone's standing! A heroic feat
Senna finishes in the lead,
but surely they'll be reviewing
the latest update
is that Senna will receive a penalty.
Let's see what happens.
It's been over 45 minutes,
and the podium still hasn't happened.
There's definitely something
happening behind the scenes
with the race director.
They'll come up with
Senna should've been giving
an interview by now.
The marshals followed
the proper procedure.
The car started,
Senna rejoined the track and won the race.
Where do the regulations say
any of this is against the rules?
I thought Uncle Beco had won.
He did, son.
- But they stole it.
- Easy, Milton.
Let's go to bed, son.
I've seen five-second penalties,
but losing points or being disqualified
That was excessive,
especially considering he had to do that.
What could he do?
Return to oncoming traffic?
If he did, it could be much worse.
Colliding with another car.
It's not fair, Reginaldo.
Alain, over here. Alain
Xuxa, it took us months
to produce this special.
What do you want? We fire 300 people?
To break a contract with a sponsor?
Is that it?
SENNA IS DISQUALIFIED
AND PROST IS THE FORMULA 1 CHAMPION
Listen to me.
You can't have it all at once.
Okay. And now the collar.
You have to put it up.
Guys, it'll fall. It has to be more
May I come in?
Sure.
Let's go.
They are beautiful.
I thought we could go
to Angra this weekend.
What do you think?
We can take the helicopter
and head straight there.
I have rehearsal this weekend.
What's going on, Xu?
We haven't seen each other for two months.
Next month, I go on tour
I know it's not easy.
But I think we can do it.
- You're never here.
- But I'm here now.
What?
Are you acting like this
because of New York?
- It was very important to me.
- I know.
But that's not it, Beco.
That's not all.
I wasn't in Suzuka with you either.
Yes, but it's not a big deal!
It's all good!
- We won't make it.
- Xuxa! Two minutes.
You're saying we won't make it.
But now I have all the time in the world.
You don't have time, Beco.
And neither do I.
