[theme music playing]
[muffled banging]
[woman] Help!
[tires squealing]
[Nelson on phone] Hello, Verô?
Brandão is about to strike again.
[Nelson] Have you lost your mind?
Are you on your own?
If you don't help me,
Brandão's going to kill again.
Do you understand?
Tell me you've tracked his IMEI, please.
[Nelson] I have.
They are ten minutes away.
Take the highway. Hurry.
[accelerates]
[woman] Somebody help me!
[banging]
Let me out of here!
Motherfucker!
Let me out!
["Temporal" by Art Popular plays on radio]
[woman] Please!
[banging, yelling]
[woman] Somebody!
[Nelson] Turn left.
You're right behind them.
[Nelson] You're 300 yards from them.
Go, Verô, go!
[sighs]
[cicadas chirping]
[woman yelling] Let me out!
[banging]
[woman] Let me out, you motherfucker!
Motherfucker, let me out!
[loud banging]
[woman panting]
[grunts]
[grunts]
[trunk closes]
Just tell me if I'm close to them.
Do I…
- Do I turn right or left? I don't know.
- [Nelson] Hello?
The signal is weak… left!
- [Verônica] Nelson, can you hear me?
- [Nelson] …hear… Verô…
- [static crackling]
- …signal is weak. I can't hear you.
I can't believe this is happening!
[sighs, breathes heavily]
[static crackles]
[woman yelling on earpiece]
[woman gasps, whimpers]
- [chains rattling]
- [woman groans]
Fuck!
[woman screaming]
[chains creaking]
[woman moans]
[muffled scream]
[sighs]
[woman gasps and moans]
[whispering] Verônica?
[Janete] Can you hear me, Verônica?
Can you hear me? Are you there?
Are you there? I'm in the basement.
[groans]
Are you there?
Are you there? I'm in the basement.
[muffled sobbing]
[whispers] Verônica… No, no!
No, not that way!
Verônica?
[woman whimpering]
[Janete] No, not that way!
Verônica, where are you? I can't see
[transmission fades]
No!
No, damn it!
Ah!
Where are you?
[panting]
[Janete] Where are you? Verônica!
We've escaped!
I don't see anyone! Where are you?
[gunshot]
[gun cocks, fires]
Stop!
Stop!
[panting]
Your new friend, Little Bird?
It was her fault!
She made me do it! I didn't
[gunshot]
[gunshot]
[panting]
[cocks rifle]
No, Love…
[Janete] No…
[Verônica sobbing]
[Janete] Love, please. Love, no…
[sobbing hysterically]
Am I dead?
[scoffs]
I wish the morgue was this nice.
[Paulo] Are you awake?
- How long?
- She's just woken up.
[sighs]
How are you feeling? Are you in pain?
We were worried about you.
Carvana told me
you took his car yesterday.
I tried to reach you all night.
What happened?
I can't remember.
[Paulo] You got home
in the middle of the night
all banged up and confused…
and refused to go to the ER.
I guess someone tried to carjack me.
Judging by the number of bullet holes,
they tried to kill you.
They tried to kill her.
The target might have been Carvana.
It's too soon to draw any conclusions,
but I have good people looking into it.
Good thing the car was bulletproof.
We should let Verônica rest a little.
[electric saw whirring]
[birds chirping]
[keys jangling]
- [exhales]
- [dialing]
[Janete] Verônica…
Verônica, can you hear me?
Can you hear me? Are you there?
Verônica? Verônica!
Verônica… Verônica…
No, not that way! This way!
Verônica, where are you? We've escaped…
- There's no one here. Shut up!
- Verônica…
Where are you?
[Lila] Mom!
Where are you?
Mom!
- Hi!
- Mom!
[dog barks]
You're home early.
- I missed you.
- Mom,
- were you in the nightmare room?
- What nightmare room?
There's no such thing.
- Rafa, go have a shower. You too.
- Can we go in?
- No, go have a shower.
- I'll go first.
What were you doing in the nightmare room?
Verô, we're still partners, right?
We've always talked and shared everything
with one another.
Why is that changing now?
- It's not.
- It is. You've changed.
Ever since that woman killed herself
you've shut yourself off from me,
from the kids.
If you really are my partner,
don't pressure me.
I'm not, it's just…
The boat is sinking.
I'm inviting you to row with me,
like we've always done.
I'm super focused on my work.
I know I can't…
I'm overwhelmed.
I can't…
I'm… [laughs nervously]
Why did you take Carvana's car?
I couldn't find my keys
and he lent me his car.
Then some bad guys decided to check
if it was bulletproof?
- You were gone for four hours.
- I passed out.
I can't remember anything!
[doorbell rings]
Are you expecting anyone?
Hi, Paulo.
I baked you guys a loaf of bread.
Come in.
Excuse me.
[Paulo] Get some, buddy. Here.
I had no idea about the cell reception.
You entered this dead zone
nearly 20 miles wide.
- I was so close!
- Close to dying, Verônica.
- How's the bread?
- Delicious.
Don't talk while chewing.
- I'll make some coffee.
- I can do that. [clears throat]
Did you get what I asked for?
After all that,
I don't know why I'm helping you.
Anyway…
That's in front of the station.
The bullets weren't meant for Carvana.
They were meant for me.
They've deleted all the data
from the cameras on the route.
But I've found a video
from the street of the shooting.
- Is it here?
- I've sent it to your e-mail.
But Verô…
these people are pros.
It was a police job. I can tell. I'm sure.
Does Brandão know about you?
I don't know.
[Nelson] Be careful, Verô.
[indistinct chatter on TV]
[keys jangling]
[door opens]
Won't you talk to me?
[kisses]
[sighs]
Who were you going to call?
Me? I didn't call anyone.
No, you didn't.
But you considered calling.
Don't be silly, Love.
Tell me.
Don't lie to me.
[clicks]
[Cláudio] Sit down.
Who were you going to call?
I don't know.
You don't know?
[Cláudio chuckles]
Tell me.
- Tell me.
- Nice.
Your sister?
And why didn't you call?
Huh?
I was afraid.
Afraid of what?
That she might not be okay.
Why not?
[sobs]
Someone…
Someone might have hurt her.
I don't get it.
Who would want to hurt your stupid sister?
Me?
- Do you think I…
- [sniffles]
…hurt your sister?
Do you think I harmed her?
Do you think I killed your sister?
[door opens]
[dialing]
Take it.
It's ringing.
- [Janice] Hello?
- Nice?
[Janice] Janete?
Are you okay?
I am.
It's just that…
I… [sobs]
- I was worried about you.
- Listen, I can't talk now.
I'm helping Mom out.
- Nice, I wanted to
- I can't talk now.
[hangs up]
[sniffles]
I didn't want to shoot that girl.
I was going to let her go, as always.
But you disobeyed me.
I'm sorry.
FIND OUT WHAT THIS DRAWING MEANS
- [door opening]
- [Paulo] Hey! How are you feeling?
I'm taking the kids.
Eat something.
Turn this off for a bit.
Watch a movie or a show or something.
Get some rest.
[birds chirping]
[camera clicks]
[car horns honking]
[man] Move!
[Verônica] Janete!
Janete?
- Janete?
- [knocks on door]
Are you okay?
Did he lock you inside?
Janete.
Please, I need to talk to you.
I swear… I tried everything to help you.
I followed you.
There's a camera.
Go away.
[Verônica] I don't see any camera.
Inside, filming me.
Go away, please. Go!
Janete, I'm sorry. I…
I got really close, but I lost the signal.
I couldn't find you.
I heard everything. I know he killed her.
Do you still have the earrings?
Get him to confess. Get him to talk.
[sighing]
Janete, look at me.
Look at me. Look at this.
They tried to kill me too.
Your husband won't stop.
Your life is at risk. Do you hear me?
My husband killed that woman
because I misbehaved.
It's my fault.
No, Janete.
Janete!
[urinating]
Did you think you could catch him
on your own?
- Without backup?
- I didn't have time to think.
I used a tracking device and a wire.
- Should I let him kill again?
- Verônica,
you went too far this time.
I can't trust anyone
at the station anymore,
except for Nelson.
I heard everything, Prata.
I heard him kill the woman.
It was horrible. I heard…
the gunshots, the screams.
I felt her despair.
I failed Janete.
You're worried about Janete?
Look at yourself!
Who did this to you?
I think they were professional hitmen.
- Was it Brandão?
- I don't know.
He was on his way to the bus station,
but someone might have his back.
Hold on.
Are you implying that Carvana and Anita…
Carvana lent you his bulletproof car.
He saved you.
He did it because he knew
what was going to happen.
If he knew it, why didn't he stop it?
Maybe he couldn't.
Don't you remember the audio?
"Brandão is a key player for them."
Who are they?
Is it a gang, a death squad, a militia?
Who the fuck are they?
All I know
is that someone tried to kill you.
Verônica, someone tried to kill you!
Isn't it better to step back
and leave this alone?
[Cláudio snoring]
[continues snoring]
[birds chirping]
[Lima] Hi, Verô, is everything okay?
I'm still going strong.
Don't worry.
We'll catch the bastards
who did this to you.
Thanks.
You have eight lives left.
We missed you around here.
You know the screenshot you sent me?
The license plate is fake,
but come see something.
It wasn't easy to enhance the image,
but I did it.
Now, imagine this
on a bag full of candy
on September 27th.
- Saints Cosmas and Damian's Day?
- Bingo! [laughs]
When I was a kid,
I'd stuff myself with candy that day.
- Can you use it to track the car?
- The sticker? Impossible.
Car has probably been torched by now.
They're not dumb.
[sighs]
Are you all better?
[laughs] Isn't it crazy?
I could swear I had looked for my car keys
in this drawer.
They were here.
At least you won't need my car anymore.
The files have been piling up.
Can you upload them to the system?
And…
Do me a favor, would you?
Can you fix something for me?
- Wow!
- [Verônica] There.
[sighs] Thank you.
- You're a lifesaver.
- Can I go now?
[knocks]
- Excuse me. Are you busy?
- I was on my way out.
- Stay. It's about you.
- [Verônica] Me?
I put Anita on the case.
- What case?
- Yours.
The shots were meant for Carvana.
His investigation of the Parque do Carmo
murders bothered some big shots.
[gunfire]
[tires squealing]
We got our hands on some audio
of them planning the attack.
Here are the transcripts.
Thanks for letting me know,
but I'd rather not get involved.
I trust you guys.
I have to go. I have files to upload.
[Verônica typing]
[Verônica] It's over. You've won.
- He's going to rot in jail.
- [Tânia] Thanks.
PLEASE, PICK UP. IT'S URGENT.
HE'S BEEN FOLLOWING ME.
[sobs]Thank you.
Thank you.
[exhales]
You know what I've been thinking about?
Your last few days at home. Remember?
Remember how lost you felt?
Exactly the way I feel now.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[keys rattle]
[Cláudio sighs]
[inhales sharply]
[Cláudio imitates bird]
[continues whistling]
[inhales sharply]
Mmm.
[moans]
Hold on, Cláudio.
- You can do that later.
- No, let me finish it.
You can finish that later.
[groans]
You know what I was thinking?
I was watching you from the window,
thinking of us.
Just the two of us, together.
Both of us naked.
[sighs]
- Your sweaty body.
- Hold on, Cláudio.
Really sweaty.
Hold on, Cláudio.
[gasping]
[Cláudio moaning]
- Stop it, Cláudio.
- Just a bit.
- Stop it, Cláudio.
- Just a bit.
Bend over the table, like this.
- [Cláudio groans]
- [Janete] No, stop it!
- I'm asking you.
- Come here.
Maybe you should face me.
Yeah, that's it…
- Stop it, Cláudio.
- Say it, "Stop it, Cláudio."
- Stop it.
- Say it, "Stop it, Cláudio."
[yells] Stop it!
[retching]
[coughing]
[Paulo] What a surprise!
Your kids' swimming class on a weekday?
Is our truce over?
Not at all. I'm glad you're here.
- [Lila] Hi.
- My goodness!
[laughs]
- Who's this beauty?
- You look great!
- Thanks.
- Sweetheart! [laughs]
- You have to go.
- Okay.
[door opens]
Chief Júlio Torres.
Don't be shy, Chief.
Your bad reputation precedes you.
No, Lila. You have to make an "S"
with your arm.
I can't do it. You know that.
I do it too fast.
- [Rafa] Lila, I've told you
- Hey!
Look at this, you guys.
Where's Cupcake?
[timer ticking]
[cocks gun]
[clicks]
[Rafa] Cupcake!
Mom, have you seen Cupcake?
Check my bedroom.
[timer ticking]
[Lila] Cup!
Lila!
- [screams]
- [timer rings]
Wake up, please!
Please, wake up!
[sobbing]
[Verônica] Sweetie…
