NoFilter (2023) s01e07 Episode Script

She's Dead, But Is She Alright?

1
Gosh, that's crazy!
- I agree.
- Nothing to say.
Gustavo, this time,
I must agree with Ms. Vera.
Because I locked her in my van?
Just locking her in would be fine.
The problem was that she missed
her judo belt ceremony.
Is it my fault she slept in the back seat?
That's true, Ms. Vera blew it.
Of course she did!
It's a universal rule of transport.
If you wanna be woken up by the driver,
you sleep in the front seat.
- True.
- Yeah.
But she didn't get the black belt?
I don't know, I haven't talked to her.
I went to her house. She didn't answer.
Isn't it weird
that she didn't post anything?
She hasn't posted
since she fought with Anitta's fans.
Ms. Vera doesn't like Anitta?
She loves her!
But don't you know Ms. Vera?
- She loves a fight.
- Yeah.
Do you think she is okay?
Of course, Sandrinha.
Ms. Vera's a drama queen.
In no time, she'll show up
like a homing pigeon.
- Right.
- Have you heard?
- What?
- Heard what?
- About Ms. Vera. Didn't you say Ms. Vera?
- There she is. What did she do this time?
No, guys, seriously.
We were running errands
on the other street, and I heard
that Ms. Vera is
on the wrong side of the grass.
The wrong side?
- Yeah.
- What?
I can't believe it!
- Damn! You know what?
- What?
Did I make a mistake? Yes.
But she takes the van
from the other street? My competitor?
- That's not it.
- Guys, no. It's betrayal.
- Honey, it's not
- Not even Judas did that.
- That's not it.
- Whatever, Marcely!
Ms. Vera died!
She passed away. She's gone. It's over.
And the funeral will be later today.
Ms. Vera died?
No!
Hey, honey.
- It's all right. Calm down, okay?
- Easy, honey.
She was so young! God!
- Well, she wasn't too young.
- That's an exaggeration.
I'm feeling bad. I think I'm gonna faint.
- Oh my!
- Gustavo!
- What? Get him water!
- Cold water, please!
#NOFILTER
What a tragedy. God, it's so sad.
Ms. Vera was such a happy person,
so eloquent.
Ararinhas is moved.
Everyone is posting photos
with the deceased.
But you haven't posted anything yet.
Why should I, Romualdo?
Is there Internet in Heaven?
Well, in case she's gone to
She might have gone to
There's no way of knowing,
but, just in case, I left my message.

#COMEBACKASABUTTERFLY
How could it be?
Come on, Valzinha, don't be so sad.
- Oh, Romualdo
- Mumu is here.
Life goes by so fast, Romualdo.
It really does.
For some people
it's faster than for others.
And we only know how fast it will be
after it happens.
All I know is
that Ms. Vera lived a good life.
She enjoyed life. That's her legacy.
- It's true.
- Yeah
That's what I always say,
we have to do
what we like before it's too late.
- You, for example.
- What about me?
You're always working,
worried about the girls.
Even when we get busy, it's scheduled.
Romualdo, I hate to agree with you,
but you're right this time.
Sure, I'm always right.
You should listen to me.
- The other day
- You know what?
I'll talk to Ademar and ask for a day off.
Today I'll only do what gives me pleasure.
I'll enjoy life!
- That's it, Val!
- And I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna do this for Ms. Vera!
That's what I'm talking about!
Wow, this death thing brings engagement.
Look at Ms. Vera's profile.
She got 100 followers because she died.
Are you saying she died to get followers?
No, not for that reason. But it helped.
- You're clueless.
- Relax.
Honey, relax.
He reacts this way when he's sad.
Gu, it's gonna be okay, we're with you.
How about we pay a tribute to Ms. Vera?
Will that bring her back?
I love it!
Guys, why don't we do a livestream
commenting on Ms. Vera's posts?
With her Christmas in Penedo,
we'll have content until May.
Stop taking advantage
of Ms. Vera's success, Sandrinha!
Honey, in this case, Gu is right.
It's a tribute to Ms. Vera.
It's time for her to shine, not you.
Okay. I didn't say a word.
If we're gonna do something,
it has to be something big.
Like those Oscar tributes.
I love tributes.
I never know anyone, but I always cry.
Like an In Memoriam video.
Is that how you say it?
Right. And we can make something
to eat at the funeral and a wreath.
So you take care of that,
and I'll make the video.
Just the other day,
I made a video, it's so beautiful,
a tribute to myself.
I'm even afraid to ask.
Why did you make
an In Memoriam tribute to yourself?
Because I dreamed of death, Gustavo!
So I made a video with my best moments
to make it easier for you.
So you don't pick a bad picture of me.
Crying, for example.
I look ugly when I cry.
I'm gonna be mad up there
and come down to haunt you!
You wanna see?
No.
Okay, it should be a surprise.
No spoilers, but I always
get emotional when I watch it.
- Are you crying already?
- Yeah.
- How are you, Max?
- What's up?
Do you wanna help us
make a tribute to Ms. Vera's wake?
Sorry, guys, I'm not going to the wake.
Why not?
Why won't you go?
Are you gonna slight her?
Ms. Vera was always there for you.
That's exactly why
I decided to say goodbye to her
my own way, you know?
- Right.
- It's more
Something more Buddhist, kind of hippie.
I follow a monk on TikTok,
Cucai of Guaratiba.
- He's wonderful.
- That's not it. It's just that
In wakes, people are always crying,
they're sad, it's such a heavy atmosphere.
How can I tell you this?
It's because we're together
due to someone is dead.
Guys, everything has an end.
Everything has an end.
That's what life is about, right?
A beginning, a middle, and an end.
And I think we should celebrate
Ms. Vera's existence.
She was an enlightened person.
Her positivity, she was always very happy.
Max, listen, thank you,
but we don't wanna hear
your positive crap.
We're all sad.
That's why I'm not going to the wake.
I'd rather celebrate her life my way.
- Excuse me.
- Okay.
Guys, that's ridiculous. Totally wrong.
Honey,
I know it's hard for you,
but taking your anger out on people
isn't cool.
Try to calm down.
Excuse me, Cely.
How can you ask me to calm down?
I'll teach you the basics of bolero.
It's quite simple, two steps to each side.
Just follow me.
One, two, back to the right,
three, and four.
Do it together now.
- The hand on the scapula.
- Okay.
And three and four. No swinging.
- Don't need to do it.
- Wait!
- No spinning?
- No.
Let me show you, Mumu.
- Don't do it.
- Watch me.
Hand on the scapula, and two to one side
Then turn back around.
Hold onto her.
- Right.
- And do the sexy pose.
I bring her thigh up against my body
and put my head on her chest.
Jesus.
- Okay?
- All right. I got it. It's
Congratulations, Val,
you're a great dancer.
I didn't get that part where you
- Let's try.
- Yeah?
No, I'm talking to him, Romualdo.
It's just that
Go like this.
There are other possible moves.
Here. And then
And do the sexy pose.
Does it have to be that sexy?
Is it on? I wanna say it already
'cause I'm too emotional.
It's hard for me to talk about Vera.
What can I say about her?
Vera has always valued my work here
at the Homeowners' Association.
She knew how to recognize
my effort for this community.
A loyal customer. Great consumer!
One of the few people I sold on credit to.
I remember when Ms. Vera came to work
as a manicurist here at the barbershop.
Ms. Vera was part of our trio,
right, Lohana?
We were always together at parties,
dancing forró, funk, and zouk.
She had no sense of rhythm,
she danced weirdly,
but she'd make it happen.
- And she hung out with young boys.
- Mm-hmm. She had a young spirit.
Yeah, just the spirit.
These are Ms. Vera's audio messages.
She loved bad-mouthing other people.
You know?
She was naughty.
She used to say,
"Sebastiana, you're amazing."
Vera's words.
Is it over? 'Cause I said her name
and I got emotional again.
Cut, please.
In the end, she died and left a debt.
I'll have to take the loss.
As they say, "C'est la vie."
I had to fire her
because she hurt her clients.
There was a tequila mess,
remember, Lohana?
You two were totally drunk,
doing body shots.
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Huh?
Ms. Vera! If these messages leaked out,
no stone would be left unturned.
Sandrinha, there's a message about you.
Listen.
Cut!
I don't know what to say.
I know, it's amazing.
And that's just the raw stuff.
But you saw that I was able
to capture the essence of people.
- Maybe too much.
- Yeah.
It was supposed to be a tribute,
not to wash dirty laundry in public.
Marcely, Ms. Vera was controversial.
The video can't not be controversial.
Where is Cely No Filter?
Fine, but cut out the bad parts.
Leave only the good ones.
Okay!
The video has to be emotional
and not harm the reputation of Ms. Vera.
"Emotional!" I wrote it down
so I don't forget.
Valzinha
shouldn't it be relaxing?
Exactly.
So why am I in so much pain?
But you'll feel great tomorrow.
Tomorrow? I wanted to feel good right now.
You can't, Romualdo.
If we relax too much,
we won't have the energy
to do 18 miles of the bike route.
What?
Yes.
Ouch! Easy.
Stronger, he likes it.
I'm nervous, Marcely.
I've never served food
at events like this.
Funeral catering is
a tough market to get into.
Not that I want to take advantage
of Ms. Vera's death.
Poor thing. God rest her soul.
But I want to do my best, you know?
The best of me.
You don't have to worry, Mr. Ademar.
Anything will do.
Yeah, Dad. What about
that remaining soda from the last order?
You complained, but you can serve it.
It would be perfect.
Are you crazy? Soda is for parties.
Ms. Vera deserves something solemn.
So let's think about something
she really liked.
Yeah.
I have an idea.
Whoo!
Come on, Romualdo, you're too slow!
Val, we need to talk
about your definition of pleasure.
Feel the breeze, feel the energy.
Hey, don't breathe so loud, Romualdo.
If we keep up that pace,
I won't have the breath to get busy later.
Who talked about getting busy?
I'm still going to the funk party
after Ms. Vera's funeral.
What's that? You never liked funk.
But now I do.
I want to enjoy it all, Romualdo.
Aren't we doing that already?
- Kind of.
- Huh?
Now I get it. I'm leaving, okay?
You managed to turn pleasure into work.
- Me?
- Yeah.
You said we got divorced
because I never change.
- Because I'm lazy.
- I did say that.
Well, I changed.
- At least I'm trying.
- Yeah.
- What about you?
- What about me?
Isn't it time for you to change, huh?
- I'm leaving.
- Wait.
Ouch! Damn it!
That massage ruined my back!
Babe Romualdo!
Wait! Oh, no!
Romualdo! Romualdo! Romualdo!
Thank you for coming.
Hi, thank you for coming.
Do do we know each other?
I don't think so.
I'm Raul, Ms. Vera's nephew.
- Oh.
- That's weird.
She never told me she had a nephew.
My family is from Minas.
I'm the only one who lives in Rio.
And we weren't so close.
You must be a very distant relative.
Ms. Vera never mentioned you.
- Gustavo.
- What?
I'm sorry, Raul. My condolences.
Ms. Vera was very important to us.
Really? I had no idea.
You'd know if you were more present.
- Gustavo.
- I was just thinking out loud.
There were no secrets
between me and Ms. Vera.
She was my best friend.
What about me?
Marcely, I'm in pain, please!
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- Give me a break.
Raul, I hope you enjoy the tribute
we're doing for Ms. Vera.
- Tribute?
- Sure.
She deserves all the best
on her stairway to Heaven, to God.
She was our strength, our comfort.
I'm sorry my family can't see
how dear she was.
Mm-hmm.
But they can! What if I broadcast
the ceremony on an Instagram livestream?
Sure, everyone'll love watching a funeral.
Hey! What are you doing here?
Ms. Vera never liked you. Beat it.
You came in flip-flops? No shame?
Go put on sneakers. Then you come back.
- Gustavo, calm down.
- What nonsense!
- Marcely, I'm in pain!
- Oh God.
- I'm sorry, Raul. He's Let's go.
- My head is spinning.
And that one looks like
he's going to a costume party.
Hi, Sebastiana.
- Hi.
- What's up?
Why are the names of those
who collaborated in different sizes?
The size of the names
equals the value of the contribution.
Oh.
What's this tiny name here?
Don't you know? It's Rubria! My God.
- Mr. Ademar.
- Hi, sweetie.
What is this?
Are we gonna eat De Mar cookies
throughout the funeral?
No.
- Funeral cookies.
- What?
Now the deceased have their own cookies.
I have to go. Excuse me.
Oh, my friend.
Thanks.
Raul was right to choose a sealed coffin.
- Ms. Vera has always been very vain.
- Yes.
But she wasn't in her prime
when she was alive
- She wasn't.
- let alone now.
That's how I want to remember her.
Always happy.
- Always.
- Playful. That laugh
- She laughed like that.
- A wonderful laugh!
- Vera, wake up, my friend!
- She won't.
- Raul, call her. Tell her to wake up.
- Don't do that. Don't.
Gosh, she's not well.
Sandrinha, where are you?
Everyone is here.
So you decided to come?
And your private celebration?
Oh, man!
Marcely, Ms. Vera was everything to me.
She got me just by looking at me.
It'll be okay.
Everything is fine. It will pass.
It would be okay if I celebrate
even while I'm sad, right?
- Yes.
- Yeah.
- It's fine.
- Oh my God!
Marcely, easy with the hugs.
We're at Ms. Vera's wake.
- What?
- Poor thing. He finally got it, Gustavo.
Another reason not to take advantage.
Cry over there with Sebastiana.
- Go there. It's fine.
- Thanks, Gustavo.
Everything will be okay. Go.
God forbid. You know what?
I lost a friend today,
and I have to deal with this madness.
Honey, you don't have to.
- Me? Marce
- No. Wait.
- It's just that
- No.
What about me?
Hurry, Romualdo,
we're late because of you.
It was your fault, you wanted to go again.
I'm all chafed.
Stop saying that. This is a wake, please!
You go first. No one should see us
- Hey!
- Hello!
Did you come together?
- No.
- Yes.
You guys are weird. What's up?
Nobody is up for anything here, Lohana!
- Something happened.
- No.
I am emotional,
and I came out for some air.
May I?
- Yes, of course!
- Sure.
Are you all right?
Not at all, Lohana!
How can I be all right? It's a funeral.
It's a tragedy!
Lolô!
Hi, what's up?
What's up? Are you coming with me
or should we go first?
You can go, I'll be right there.
- See you.
- See you.
- Good to see you.
- Good to see you.
Lohana, what intimacy is this
with the musician?
He's my school friend's brother.
- Chiquinho, don't you remember?
- No.
- Mom, your memory used to be better.
- Really.
- Get some help.
- Let's go, Rubria.
Wasn't Chiquinho that boy
who ate erasers at recess?
Yeah, it was him.
Don't hold my hand!
Go ahead!
- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.
Well
Marcely asked me to come here today
to talk a little about Ms. Vera.
I didn't want to, but you know Marcely.
She insisted, so I said yes.
But I'm not very good with words
or with texts.
So I prefer to sing.
- Sing.
- He will.
Sing with me!
Sandrinha. Finally, you came.
It took more work than I thought,
but the emotion is guaranteed.
Thank you!
- Beautiful, Gu!
- Amazing!
Beautiful!
How lovely!
- I sang!
- It was amazing!
It was great.
MS. VERA

She was naughty.

ARARINHAS CRIES
Oh, Ms. Vera!
RIP Ms. Vera.
- Hi. Sorry, but
- Hey!
Respect the moment, please.
Let's respect Ms. Vera's moment.
For God's sake, people. Let's get up.
She's amazing!
Wow, Sandrinha. That was touching.
I don't know what to
- Thank you. It's
- Thank you.
Now I'm going to Please.
I'll try to make you overcome
what you just watched
with some beautiful words
that I prepared for you.
Hmm
Today
we are here to say goodbye
to this remarkable figure
of Ararinhas.
Rest in peace, Ms. Vera.
Ms. Vera was
a strong woman,
determined.
Ms. Vera, chew with your mouth closed.
You're disturbing a solemn moment.
She was wise
Ms. Vera is here!
She is, Rubria!
Ms. Vera will always be in our hearts.
Oh my God! Ms. Vera?
But what
Enough! What is happening?
Ms. Vera, you are alive!
No, it's an optical illusion!
Of course I'm alive.
You're nuts. It's unbelievable.
You don't listen to what I say!
I told you I was going
to the South American Judo Championship.
You did?
I told everyone!
And then I'm going to spend the week
at the South American Judo Championship.
Right. Vera, our meeting tomorrow
will be at ten o'clock.
Don't be late.
When you meet people on the street,
you start talking and lose track of time.
Excuse me. I have a lot to do.
When I get back
from the South American Judo Championship,
I'll pay you, Mr. Ademar.
Ms. Vera. I'm busy now.
We'll talk about it later.
Today I want a short haircut
because I'm going
to the South American Judo Championship.
You're totally right. So, the usual?
Ms. Vera!
- What's up, Ms. Vera?
- Hi, girls!
- There's a party on Friday.
- I can't go.
I'm going
to the South American Judo Championship.
And get ready,
because there will be free tequila!
I'm not going!
I'm nervous about the South American
Judo Championship next week.
Did you see that, Ms. Vera?
A car going the other way.
It's insane. Then he causes an accident
and doesn't know why.
- Yeah.
- You did say it.
- She said it.
- I remember now.
She really said it.
How was the championship?
I got the gold medal!
But in my defense,
you didn't tell me anything.
Me neither!
Why would I tell you?
You only think about livestreams.
- That's all you care about.
- She's got a point.
From now on, I won't say a word, I swear.
You never pay attention!
- That's Ms. Vera, guys.
- Yep.
Guys, just one thing.
If Ms. Vera didn't die,
who's in the coffin?
That's what I was trying to say.
The woman on the video was not my aunt.
And you only say that now?
Wait a minute. Is your aunt
the Ms. Vera from the other street?
Exactly.
Guys
- She was a bitter woman.
- Hey, guys, wait.
Anyway, Raul just lost his aunt.
This other Ms. Vera had,
or should have, qualities too.
- She deserves respect.
- I have no good memories.
Well, sorry about the mess, Raul.
No problem.
I thought no one would show up.
In fact, this funeral was a lot better
than anything my aunt would ever get.
It was.
Thanks for everything.
My family said they watched
the livestream and will follow you.
Oh! That's great!
Sorry to interrupt. Thanks to the success
of my first presentation,
people called for an encore.
So I'll make a second presentation.
Now, to honor the two Veras.
Ms. Vera, who is very much alive,
and Ms. Vera who passed away.
I'll fly!
Now you sing!
Why the long face, Max?
Ms. Vera is alive! Everything is fine.
Well, that's true. Everything is fine.
You know what?
When I saw Ms. Vera
so alive,
and stuff
I realized some things.
We can't waste our time on BS.
You know?
Yes, you're right.
But what do you mean?
It's just that
I've decided that
I'm breaking up
Guys, it's impossible
not to be touched by this video.
