- [fast rock music playing]
- [car horn honking]
What's taking so long?
My van is leaving the station now!
They do this every day.
- We'll be there soon.
- We'll be there soon.
- [toaster dings]
- Ah.
[inhales sharply] Mmm.
I swear to God, my book's killing me.
I think I should just quit.
- Writer's block is ruining my life.
- Mm.
You've quit your book
four times this month.
[sniffs]
Um, wait a second.
Why do you smell just like Henrique?
He left his cologne here,
so I put some on.
Should I have just thrown it away?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- [car horn honking]
- [all] We'll be there soon.
Hey, guys, I haven't seen Jéssica.
Is she awake?
[sighs] Give me five gallons of coffee.
Princess here kept me up all night
watching her stupid musical club TV show.
Its name is Glee, and it's amazing.
It's not my fault you only watch shows
about murder and crime.
- [car horn honking]
- [all] We'll be there soon.
[ringing incoming message tone]
- [ominous music playing]
- [cell phone beeps]
[Camila] Come on, Bruna.
What's wrong with musicals?
They're always so fun.
[Bruna] Nothing more infuriating
than when some weirdos
start singing songs for no good reason.
[music intensifies]
Making my way downtown ♪
Walking fast, faces pass ♪
And I'm homebound ♪
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way ♪
Making a way through the crowd ♪
BACK TO 15
BACK TO 18
Now I need you ♪
For the record, I hate you all.
I wanna vomit. Thanks for that, guys.
- Aw! We love you right back, Grumpy.
- [chuckling]
- [kisses] See you later.
- See ya.
- [kisses]
- I've gotta run too. I have things to do.
Yeah? Oh, we could help you out.
[ominous guitar music playing]
- [whooshing]
- [mysterious music playing]
[echoing] Smells like chewing gum.
Feeling helpful today, aren't we?
- [cell phone ringing]
- I'm just like that.
[chuckles]
[inhales sharply]
I need some more time. Then we're settled.
My past'll stay in the past.
[terminates call]
Jéssica's mysterious.
Know anything about her?
I know something really weird
is going on with her.
I'm off.
[whimsical indie music playing]
[sniffs]
Camila.
- Hey, Professor.
- Everything okay?
Uh-huh. [chuckles]
I'm getting anxious waiting for
the next draft of The Witches' Saga.
It'll be soon.
- Or not.
- Why is that?
[sighs]
I'm just all over the place.
My week's been a mess.
And what if you put that mess on paper?
- I fucking wish. It's pointless.
- Camila.
Sorry, sir.
It's just, like,
I can't find my flow.
Camila, you just have to
follow your heart.
What are you so afraid of?
[pensive music playing]
Professor, I
That wasn't a rhetorical question.
What are you afraid of?
Figuring that out
might help unblock some stuff.
Hey.
I saw this today and thought of you.
Here, take a look.
- What is it, study abroad?
- No.
It's an artists residency. In Europe.
The humanities department is desperate
to get one of our students into it. Uh
Witches have brooms, right?
Why not fly it to bigger things?
- [upbeat ska music playing]
- Ugh!
[sighs]
"Eccrine glands are the main source
of sweat in the human body,
and can be found
virtually all over the skin."
"These sweat-producing factories
are important"
[exhales deeply]
[music fades]
TEEN CONNECTION
READY, SET, GO
[intriguing music playing]
"Henrique declares,
'I'm single and ready to mingle'."
[grunts]
- Sup, girl!
- [yells]
Rock stars always mean trouble.
- Hello, Lúcia.
- Believe me, I know the drill.
Been there, done that, so listen to me.
There was a time
when I had a fling with a rock god.
He got famous, then bam!
I got dumped.
Here's a fun fact. The song was
gonna be "Lúcia."
Not "Carla." [snaps fingers]
Ah, interesting.
You can still win the breakup though.
You need the upper hand here, Carol.
But it's not a competition.
But everything is.
We live in a dog-eat-dog world, girl.
- [percussive dance music playing]
- Take it from someone who knows.
[swallows]
You gotta get laid first.
That's the way to win.
How much have you smashed? How much? Hmm?
Um, well
well, I've gotta make some copies,
so I should run off now.
But I really appreciate the advice, okay?
It's what I'm here for.
And when you're out clubbing,
maybe I could be, you know, your wingman?
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm your gal.
- Uh-huh.
- [sighs]
[humming a tune]
Oh, Lúcia ♪
Yeah, Carla does sound better.
[clicks tongue]
[mysterious music playing]
[sighs] What kind of 2009 person
doesn't have Orkut or even Facebook?
Same with Twitter, MySpace,
Last. fm, Blogger, Tumblr, Flickr.
Jéssica is impossible to find online.
I spent all night trying
to find something, to no avail.
[sighs] Coffee with energy drink.
- Not even a sedative could knock me out.
- Ugh!
Since I'm gonna die anyway, why waste time
doing something stupid like
sleeping, right?
You're being insane.
You don't need to worry.
You're not gonna die.
You're in every future that I've seen,
very much alive.
I'm not dumb, Anita.
But okay.
I didn't find anything
on Jéssica. However,
Denis Ferreira was
Photoblog's chief programmer.
This guy could be our key
to understanding the time travel.
[Fabrício] Wait, time travel?
You're not buying into
Joel's geeky nonsense, right Anita?
No. Of course not.
- We're working on a multimedia project.
- Yeah, that.
- "Photography As Real Time Travel."
- "Photography As Real Time Travel."
Joel's been a big help.
I think we're done for the day, right?
- Yeah, sure.
- Okay.
Wrap up your research in here,
and we'll compare notes later.
Yeah. Good teamwork.
- For sure.
- See you.
[Fabrício chuckles softly]
Come on.
[sighs]
Urgh!
Are you following me for fun?
No, for business. I wanted to see
if you'd like this cake cup. Fresh batch.
I'll give you a deal. How's seven bucks?
For that? Inflation's gone wild, huh?
- Did you make it?
- [laughs]
No, no. Dom's the chef,
and I'm the head of sales.
It's kind of like a Walter White
and Jesse Pinkman type thing.
[chuckles softly] Thank you,
but, uh, I'm just not hungry.
Sure, some other time, then. Besides,
there's something I wanted to talk about.
It's about us kissing.
I don't want you to,
like, expect anything.
What? Get real, Fabrício.
I also kissed Whisky. Don't you remember?
- I'm aware.
- Ani
Oh my God, is that a cake cup?
Oh, I can't get enough of these.
Are you selling it? How much?
Because it's you, Filipa,
why not consider this one on the house?
- [Filipa] Oh?
- You deserve it.
[Filipa] Well, thank you.
Hey, Anita, I was going to class.
Are you coming?
Uh, no, I can't, sorry.
I have something urgent.
Oh, but remember
today's project is graded.
I was hoping we could be partners.
Can you partner with
someone not in your class?
Because I'm super into art and stuff.
I could help.
Support the arts a little bit.
I've got time.
- [Filipa] Oh yeah?
- Sure.
Oh, cool, that should work.
See you later, Anita. Ciao.
Ciao.
[mockingly] See you later, Anita. Ciao.
Ciao.
[sighs]
"Because it's you,
the cake is on the house." Douchebag.
[gentle music playing]
What, is this some kind of apology?
It's me asking to talk.
[deactivation tone]
I don't have time.
- I know I was stupid, okay?
- You were.
- You have every right to be pissed.
- Yup.
My friends are assholes. You know
Don't blame them for your actions.
Wait, wait, wait.
What can I do to earn your trust back?
What if I scream out that I love Twilight?
If you go screaming anything
while we're in here,
Glauber will cut off your head.
Yeah, but then
would you forgive me, at least?
What, if Glauber murdered you? [chuckles]
Uh who knows.
Hey, library! I love Twilight!
- [students] Sh!
- My God!
What the hell?
I catch you yelling in here again,
I'll smash your face in
with Crime and Punishment. You dig?
I dig.
- God!
- [Camila] I'm sorry. I
I didn't think you'd be that ballsy.
[upbeat rock music playing]
[sighs]
Want me like this?
You just have to lie back
and enjoy the ride.
[upbeat rock music continues]
[music fades]
- Hmm.
- Hmm.
Hmm, interesting work,
Filipa.
[both chuckle]
Mm. [chuckles]
Good job. You are gonna get
an A for that for sure.
Yeah.
I loved helping you.
Feel like I stepped outta my comfort zone.
This was different, fun.
I, uh, was wondering
if we should keep this going.
Find a show, you know,
like at a gallery or museum.
- We could chat
- Oh, Fabrício.
You only helped me out
to rile up Anita. Admit it.
Um, excuse me?
No. Hold on, Filipa. No. Okay?
Sure, I'm just, just friends
with Filipa I mean, Anita.
That's what I was trying to say.
Anyway, if you ever wanna
get a drink, talk
[laughs] Not happening.
Listen up. Let me give you my two cents.
Playing games is for children.
And it'll leave you all alone.
[ominous guitar music playing]
Hey, anyone here?
One second!
I'm busy.
[sighs]
Um, I I've been waiting
to get a copy made for anatomy.
My professor dropped it off earlier.
Hey, the copier isn't going anywhere.
And I'm on a roll here.
I'm not gonna stop playing until I lose.
I've won five in a row.
Hey!
Make that one more!
Who's next?
Playing to ten?
Sure.
You really want that copy, huh?
[percussive dance music playing]
One-zero. This will be easy.
Two.
Go.
Yeah! [laughs]
[groans]
I'm sorry.
- [forced] Don't worry, I'm fine.
- [chuckles]
[whooshing]
[echoing breath]
[echoing breath]
I win!
- [music fades]
- [breathing deeply]
[exhales sharply]
- Well played.
- [percussive dance music resumes]
How about those copies?
Mm-hmm.
[music fades]
[dog barking]
[ominous guitar music playing]
- Bruna?
- Anita.
I came back home, uh, to study.
Uh, I came to study,
seeing as the house was empty.
And I saw her things here. Wild, right?
I'm not a snoop, but she's been
acting strange, don't you think?
Since she got here.
I know, right?
I'm suspicious of her as well.
Look at this.
She's got, like, a million photos
with a group of girls
she's never mentioned.
- It's almost like
- Like she was living another life.
I know.
About a week ago,
she had 27 going-out dresses.
And she only has five now.
Preppy girls don't get rid
of their clothes.
Exhibit B. Two days ago, she swapped
her lavender soap for the star anise.
Wait a sec, Bruna.
Why do you know
what kind of soap she uses?
Because I'm being thorough
with my investigation here.
[Anita] Hmm.
Hold up. If I didn't know you any better,
I'd say it sounds like
you might just have
a crush on her.
Mm.
[mischievous music playing]
So do you "like" like her?
Of course not, Anita.
She's way too sketchy.
Yeah. Yeah, she's kinda sketchy, for sure.
Like, just the other day, she hit me up
to ask for this girl in my class's number.
What girl? Was it Filipa?
Mm.
- I pranked you.
- [sighs] Anita.
I just want peace.
She messes with my peace.
Yeah, I can see
you're not at peace right now.
- [door closes]
- [Jéssica ] I've almost got it.
- [both gasp]
- You don't need to tell me again
What are you two doing?
Anita likes to brush my hair sometimes.
It's normal.
Super normal. [giggles]
Doesn't she look lovely? [giggles]
[uncertainly] Yeah.
- [gasps]
- [whispers] Anita.
- [door closes]
- Let's follow her.
Oh yeah. Good idea.
[jaunty music playing]
COPIES HERE
Oh! Hey, man. You okay?
Uh
- How are you doing? You okay?
- Yeah.
So your copies are ready.
I've got 'em right here. Uh
It's these ones here, right?
"Scientific Works Published
in Scientific Magazines."
- Yeah.
- Right.
Pretty cool title.
- Uh
- You can pay me later.
Mm. Thanks.
[sighs]
[both chuckle]
[clears throat]
Um uh
Yeah. So what do we do now?
- [music ends]
- What d'you mean?
I just don't really know the etiquette
for when you hook up with a rando.
I mean that nicely!
What's the norm? Should I add you
on Facebook, get your number?
I'm not on Facebook. Do you want my cell?
Is it bad if I don't?
- It's fine.
- It's nothing against you though, okay?
I just don't want this to become a thing.
I've gotta make copies here, after all.
I'm a pretty laid-back guy.
All you gotta do is stop by,
if you ever feel like you wanna hang out.
Seriously?
Seriously.
[upbeat indie music playing]
- That works.
- Sounds good.
One sec.
- Oh my God. Thank you.
- [chuckles]
So that Spark guy
- Mmm.
- Is he your boyfriend?
We're figuring things out,
me and that Spark guy.
We're in an open relationship.
Obviously, we like each other.
But he has his life.
And I have my own life.
And that gives us some freedom
to both spread our wings.
To try new things.
Yeah, I get it.
- Mmm.
- But I think I'd go crazy.
Oh, sure. Aren't you Don Juan though?
Right? That's why they call you Dom?
I hooked up with two girls the first week,
and now everyone thinks I'm a player.
Believe me, I'm not that kind of guy.
I've hardly dated before.
It's been a long time since I was in love.
[romantic music playing]
This is actually pretty good, you know?
I'm glad.
It's to die for.
I wanted to do culinary studies.
Baking's my life.
My parents would totally flip
if they found out that I skipped calc
to learn how to make sponge cake.
- Oh, for sure.
- [both chuckle]
I did the opposite.
I'm studying my passion,
but lately I've been starting to hate it.
I feel so blocked when I try
to sit down and write anything.
Can I read some of it?
Really? [chuckles]
I think I have a better idea.
Okay, so, let me see if I'm following.
The main witch, Gaia,
is meeting her archenemy.
Yes. He's Ravel,
and he's known for hunting witches.
Mm-hmm. Mm. Mm-hmm.
[Camila] Shall we begin?
Just a second.
[heavy metal playing on earphones]
[mouths]
[footsteps approaching]
[chuckles]
To get into the character.
Love it. Alright now
[Dom clears throat]
"I've never had
so much trouble tracking someone."
"But you
you're different
from all the other witches."
I'm not afraid of you.
Why keep running, then?
- I'm not running, Ravel. On the contrary.
- [romantic music playing]
I fight against what you represent.
I fight against the idea
that witches don't belong in this world.
I fight so that I don't have to hide.
I fight to find those
who will cherish my power and accept me.
And, Ravel, if you aren't able
to recognize the strength of my power,
that's on you.
[both gasp]
Sorry about that.
[both chuckle]
I felt Ravel felt like
the moment called for a kiss.
Gaia's speech really spoke to him,
you know?
God, I get it now.
It's obvious. The book's a romance!
Sorry, I
I've got
I've got to write all this down,
but let's just
but let's be in touch later,
because it was awesome.
But, anyway, thanks. See ya. [laughs]
[music fades]
The hell are you in my jacket for?
[inhales deeply]
[mysterious music playing]
[breathing deeply]
It's weird.
Why is she hiding all that money?
Don't know why she needs it.
The girl's got a million credit cards.
Maybe she's some kind of gambling addict.
I've seen it before, actually.
Isn't that the weird guy from the party?
[gasps] It is.
After you, madam.
- Wanna follow her?
- Yeah, come on.
So? Where's my cash?
[music intensifies]
Thank you. [chuckles]
[rumbling]
[electrical crackling]
[whooshing]
Take it already. Please.
I promise, this will be the last one.
I swear. Just one more.
[Camila] Jesus, Carol.
It's just a passport photo. Relax.
Anita?
I skip one art project in college in 2009,
and now I'm stuck here taking photos
of you?
- [gasps]
- [Camila] Where'd that shade come from?
Look, we all know
I'm more photogenic than Carol,
but maybe don't drag her so hard.
Wow, Anita.
I didn't mean to insult your work.
- Sorry.
- Carol, I didn't mean it like that.
Mm.
Jesus!
[gasps]
You've gotta see this.
Do you remember Jéssica?
- Jéssica. The one from college?
- Of course.
Uh-huh, look here.
A magazine featured her
on its cover. My God!
Oh, what a goddamn snake!
She's got a house in Ibiza?
- The girl must be loaded.
- [laughs]
I can't believe you time traveled
to fix your stupid life.
Did you say time travel?
I get it. She took out that cash
and bet it all.
It makes sense.
- You can't fool me, Jéssica.
- [chuckles softly]
Wait, what?
"Intimate photos leaked at university."
[Camila] What does it say?
Tea's meant to be spilled, girl.
Wait, wow.
So that's it. I've got it all wrong.
[Camila] Did either of you know?
Not me.
She never mentioned anything like this.
I didn't have any idea that she
- [gasps]
- [clock ticking]
- [whooshing]
- [electrical crackling]
[pensive music playing]
What are you doing here?
[Anita] Uh
Uh, Jéssica, I already know everything.
What?
Why you thought you had to come back.
You must have wanted
to deal with things differently.
What are you talking about?
You're trying to change the past,
aren't you?
It's impossible to change the past!
[sobs]
Hey, is everything okay?
What happened, Jéssica?
[Bruna] Let's find someplace more private.
Yeah, that's for the best.
It's gonna be alright.
I'm not sure.
- Why is she crying?
- We'll find out.
[Coach Lúcia] Carol!
[quirky music playing]
Yes, attagirl. Coach Lúcia saves the day.
[music fades]
Are you okay, Cami?
Yeah.
ARTIST SCHOLARSHIP
- Ah!
- [Camila] I'm gonna apply.
[Bruna] Stay calm, Jéssica.
We're almost there.
- [unsettling music playing]
- [Jéssica sobbing]
What's going on?
I don't know. Wanna go?
Mm-hmm.
- Yep.
- [music fades]
Everything okay?
- More or less.
- [Rafa] The bathroom's closed.
- I've gotta pee. Let me in.
- Everything's clogged.
- Really? Every toilet?
- Exactly, yes.
Rafa
[melancholy music playing]
[Jéssica sobs]
Drink it.
BATHROOM AND CHANGING ROOM
Last semester, I, um had some issues
when I was at my old college.
[breathing shakily]
It was mostly great, at first.
I was dating this girl.
She was amazing.
But her brother was
not.
He, um
went to her room and took her computer.
He found pics I sent her.
Before long, he'd leaked them
to the whole campus.
[sniffles]
I tried to stay strong, I thought.
"Fuck it." "Why should I have to hide?"
"I don't care."
But those boys
they just kept staring.
Anywhere I went on that campus,
I could feel their eyes.
- [sorrowful music playing]
- Like I was a piece of meat.
The men
made it so I couldn't breathe.
You all know how men can be.
I changed majors, schools, my appearance.
I tried to start fresh.
I just wanted to pretend
that it never happened.
But no.
'Cause of that fucking prick.
Anderson, that guy from our party.
That prick's cousin
goes to my old college.
He'd shown him my photos.
I thought he just wanted to harass me.
But he wanted a thousand bucks.
If I didn't pay, he'd leak my photos here.
But he says that he wants more now.
I had to sell a bunch of my clothes
because I needed cash.
The girls from the dental school
bought them up. They're my best clients.
[all chuckle softly]
Those dental girls do
have really good style.
[chuckling]
[sniffles]
You're strong, Jéssica.
None of this was your fault.
And we're all here for you.
[inhales deeply]
I can visit the dean's office,
and we'll get the school to intervene.
[Camila] Good idea.
Jesus. You've been through a lot.
- But we can end this.
- No more.
No, Anita. They won't do anything.
I already tried that route
at my old school.
And no one helped.
- It's gonna be just like before.
- No, it won't.
It won't because you've got
all of us in your corner.
You're not alone, Jéssica.
It's all different now.
Look at all your friends sitting here.
We've got your back.
Whatever happens, we're here.
Yes. You can count on us.
Okay?
[breathing shakily]
Where's that asshole
that's soon to be dead now?
[pounding rock music playing]
Hey, you asshole!
- [Anderson grunts]
- [students gasp]
Fuck was that about?
[unzips bag]
This where you keep the photos?
- What photos? I don't know what you mean.
- Don't play dumb.
Now open this laptop.
Delete every picture,
or we're gonna make your li
[students exclaim]
[Rafa] Jéssica! [laughs]
- [Jéssica grunts angrily]
- Whoa, don't mess with Jéssica.
Just wanted to make sure.
You're gonna pay for that, bitch!
This dirty son of a bitch
tried to blackmail our roommate
with private photos
he acquired of her without her consent.
Mark my words. If you or anybody else
even dreams about sharing those photos,
I'll put your blood into a blender
and slurp it up.
[scoffs] You really think
I'm scared of you?
Who said she's gonna do it alone?
- [woman 1] That's over.
- [woman 2] Yeah!
[woman 1] No more.
[chuckles]
[scoffs]
Take this shit back!
Go to hell!
[students cheering]
[music fades]
Guys, did you see Jéssica
when she destroyed that guy's laptop?
[all] Mm-hmm!
That was so cool.
You stood up to him like a champion.
He's not messing with you anytime soon.
- Yup.
- [Camila] Mm-hmm.
Bruna, thanks.
I mean it.
Thanks, everyone!
[chuckling]
You're the best. I finally feel like
I can move on with my life. I'm free.
We're always gonna be there for you, okay?
[chuckles softly]
[quietly] 'Cause I need you [hums]
[Filipa] And I miss you ♪
And now I wonder ♪
[all] If I could fall ♪
Into the sky ♪
Do you think time ♪
Would pass me by? ♪
'Cause you know
I'd walk a thousand miles ♪
If I could just see you ♪

[mimicking piano]
Bruna, aren't you gonna complain about
weirdos all singing for no good reason?
Well, I guess I'll let it slide this time.
- [laughter]
- [incoming message alert]
Hey, I didn't know
Luiza was back in Brazil.
I thought she'd been at school in Canada.
Me too, but do you think
we should tell Bruna?
- [Camila] We shouldn't, right?
- [incoming message alert]
[inhales deeply]
- [Camila chuckles]
- [Bruna] Could you pass me some? Thanks.
[Bruna] I totally forgot
I even had this pan.
- Maybe the sink ate it.
- [Bruna] Ooh, I like the way you think.
And now I wonder ♪
If I could fall ♪
So? Did you find out
anything helpful about Jéssica?
I'm positive she's not the one
who's been time traveling, Joel.
She's just trying to write a better future
for herself, but in the way we all are.
My suspicions got us nowhere.
I guess it's a good thing
that I followed our other lead.
In my hand right here is
Denis Ferreira's address.
Look here.
Let's go find out everything
this guy knows about time travel.
To end this once and for all. Let's go.
Don't wanna let you know ♪
I, I drown in your memory ♪
I, I don't ♪
