Sintonia (2019) s04e07 Episode Script

1
Listen to me.
[Scheyla] No.
I'll only leave through the front door.
My children will have a mother.
Even if it's just on visiting days.
Scheyla, listen to me.
[door opens]
I need to hang up, Nando.
[tense music playing]
We'll have four men with rifles outside
to shoot at the guards.
Our sisters on the inside
will be armed too.
I'm getting my wife out of there, bro.
I'll smuggle the weapons in
using their food supply truck.
That's right.
And your wife?
Leave that to me.
[theme music playing]
Now tell me,
how do you feel about
the hearing coming up?
Mr. William said you have good chances.
Justice was on your side before.
I'm sure it will be again.
You have to believe.
The system isn't good to people like me.
Back then,
it was either God or luck that saved me.
And what if it was God?
Why would He abandon you now?
What if He already did?
God is love, but He's also justice.
And I was a criminal, Rita.
Yeah. You were.
But you regret it now.
You chose a new path.
You're a born-again Christian.
I know you have a great future ahead.
And you'll live it in freedom,
with me by your side.
[cell phone buzzes]
An order. Gotta go.
Go on, give me a kiss.
[calm music playing]
[Jaspion] Things are coming together, huh?
[Doni] Yeah, but it still ain't much.
Can't wait for them to blow up.
Here's the strategy.
We'll find our artists,
record them, produce them, sell tickets,
and then promote them.
You know your stuff, huh?
All right. We have MLK, who's awesome.
Nuevo's off the charts too.
Now we need a girl.
For sure, bro.
A girl.

Brother?
Are you there?
I need your help.
You're the only one I can trust.
What's going on?
I'm breaking Scheyla out of prison, Rita.
I know it's a big thing to ask,
but please, help me.
Make her listen to me and trust me.
She won't last long in there,
and I don't know
how much time I've got left.
I'm doing all I can, Rita.
All to break her out of there,
but she has to be on board.
Nando,
look.
I need your help
to get my kids out of Brazil.
It's my only chance
of reuniting with my family.
Nando
You know I love you, right?
You know I love your kids.
I really want your family to be happy.
But think about what you're asking me!
Have you considered
that this could ruin my life?
Huh, Nando?
You're asking me to commit a crime!
I never meant to harm you.
But I promise you.
I won't let
anything happen to you, trust me.
You already did.
You can't control everything, Nando.
You can't. Accept that.
This is for them, Rita.
Stop telling yourself that, Nando!
Just stop!
Fuck.
Think about what you're asking me.
You don't even realize it.
You don't even realize
you're always putting people at risk.
You're always putting
your loved ones at risk, Nando!
I'm sorry, sister.
I'm sorry.
Think about it, Rita. Please.
You're all I've got.

What's up?
Driver's too scared?
He'll keep to his route, bro.
Won't work with us.
He's the only one who can get in, homie.
We could always kidnap him
and swap him with one of ours.
No way, man. Too risky.
We gotta think of something else, okay?

[tense music playing]
This is just the first installment.
Do your job right
and the rest is all yours.
You'll have enough to retire if you want.
Get a new life.
There's a woodworking shop
in there, right?
No, not anymore.
But they're building a sewing workshop.
Are the sewing machines there yet?
They're expecting them soon.
What's the supplier company?
I can find out for you.
Listen to me.
I need the name of the company ASAP.
And I need you to transfer Scheyla
to this workshop.
Bribe whoever you need to.
Some of our sisters will be in on it.
All right? Just relax.
[funk music playing]
- Have a good one.
- Thanks. Love you.
[Heloísa gasps]
You're two lovebirds, huh?
You okay?
- What's going on?
- Look, Heloísa
I never told you this,
but Cleyton is an ex-con.
The date for his hearing is approaching.
Wow.
I had no idea.
You've been dealing with that
all this time? I'm sorry.
I don't even know what to say.
I've never been through
anything like that.
Don't worry about it.
Cleyton thinks it was God or plain luck
that got him out last time.
I think the world is crazy nowadays.
Everything's so confusing.
But to leave it up to God
Do you think it's enough?
I don't know.
I don't know.
The only thing I'm sure of
is that just like man's faith can waver,
man's justice can fail.
[cell phone buzzes]
I have something to take care of.
See you in class.
- Okay.
- Thanks.
- We'll talk later.
- Sure.

[funk music ends]
[tense music playing]
What are you doing outside my school?
Have you lost your mind?
I'm sorry, Rita.
But I need an answer.
You didn't give me time to think!
Scheyla's still there.
I need to do something!
You're out of it, brother.
I work at an institute now, Nando.
I'm at a great point in my life!
I'm working with what I love,
I'm helping people, Nando.
If I do what you're asking me,
I'll be throwing it all away.
Let me tell you.
What I've achieved so far is huge.
Let's focus on Scheyla's due process.
Let's use the justice system in our favor!
You know very well
that justice is blind for us.
Look at Cleyton.
Look at Cleyton.
The system took its time,
but it was fair to him!
Cleyton's free.
And he'll stay free,
'cause I'm fighting for him.
Same goes for Scheyla.
What system, Rita?
I'm the one who got Cleyton out.
It was my money that freed him!
Do you really think he'd be with you
if it were up to a judge?
[pants]
[pants]
I can't believe this.
I can't believe this!
I've been living a lie all this time?
Is that it?
Do you know how much this lie
has affected my life?
If we don't help ourselves,
who's gonna help us?
We can't control everything, Rita,
but we can do our best, you know?
You don't have to resort to crime
to fix a fucking injustice!
You don't have to!
I'm the one who got Formiga out of jail.
And I'd do that a thousand times over.
You owe me nothing, Rita.
Really.
You owe me nothing.
[sighs]
I can't believe this.
Your plan is too risky.
All I need is an answer.
[Doni] Let's color-code the tracks,
it's easier to understand.
- Yo! What's up?
- Hey, man. What's up?
Let me introduce you
to our new partner, Larety.
- Hey there.
- Welcome.
If you ever need help with anything,
this is your go-to guy.

"YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH,
AND THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE"
JOHN 8:32
[eerie music playing]
[steps approaching]
[Sueli] Rita?
Have you missed the house of God?
I've missed you, Sueli.
You look tired.
Come, sit with me.
What happened?
[Rita sighs]
Do you think the truth makes us free?
Or does it imprison us?
Well, Rita, I don't question the Bible.
But I could.
God gave us free will, after all.
We're meant to question things.
I wish I could still believe the lie
that Cleyton was freed by justice.
Man's and God's.
Oh, Sueli
Truth is, one man's justice freed him.
And he doesn't even know it.
But I keep telling him to have faith.
To trust the system.
To believe in God's mercy.
And for what?
Do you think the truth can free him?
My dear, you seem to be drowning in doubt.
I can't be sure of anything.
I'm not sure I'll go to Heaven.
I do bad things
to help those in a living hell.
- Come on, now.
- Me, who's in Law School.
What are you saying, Rita?
Sometimes it's hard to understand
the ways of the Lord.
Yes, He is the God of justice.
But, above all else, God is love.
And He is forgiving.
He doesn't want perfect people
by His side.
He wants good-hearted people.
And that you certainly are.
Look, there are 150 potential clients,
just the ones from the hood.
They're gonna be cool with us.
I'm sending you our video.
DONI
ONE NEW MESSAGE
DONI'S BLOCK PARTY
Damn, bro. You're fired up, huh?
You've no idea, bro.
We gotta sell tickets, turn a profit.
- Got the hang of it, huh?
- I learned from the best.
In fact, I'm headed to the barbershop
to take care of some things.
- Okay.
- And listen, bro.
You need a shower.
[somber music playing]
[Pulga]
They won't suspect a thing at the prison.
Hell yeah, it fits.
Fuckin' A.
All good, bro.
This is it.
Next one.
All right.
[funk music playing]
[kids yelling]
Thank you for coming.
I don't know if you'll thank me
after what I'm about to say.
- I'm not even sure you'll want to listen.
- What's going on?
Listen to what he has to say.
I'm tired of having false hope.
This isn't about you, Scheyla.
It's about your children and your family.
I'm leaving this place, Rita.
Through the front door.
I'm not taking any chances.
If I behave,
my children will have a mother.
You of all people should understand.
Look, Scheyla,
I get it.
But listen to what he has to say.
Give him a chance.
Look, and I can't believe I'm saying this,
but trusting him might be
your only chance.
Only talented artists.
VA Records-certified.
We've got good equipment, that fog thingy
Say "effect"!
I'll headline it.
Yeah, and Doni will be the headliner.
No?
All right, then. Sure. Bye.
Damn, bro. No one's buying in.
Don't give up, we're just starting.
After the first gig, we're set.
And don't call it "fog thingy",
say "special effect" or they'll bail out.
Call this one.
[funk music playing]
That's right.
We've got great artists, good equipment,
only top-notch stuff.
Even a fog machine.
Put me on speaker.
[whispers] Say something!
Hey, bro. What's up? This is MC Doni.
[man] Hey, pleasure talking to you.
Good afternoon.
Well, as I told your agent there,
we can pay 20k for the four of you.
It's just that 20k only covers my fee.
The other ones are newbies.
I'm doing you a favor.
[whispers] What's the name of this place?
[whispers] Night Bomb.
Night Bomb?
Dude, how about this?
You pay us 15k upfront,
and we get 50% of the ticket sales.
[whispers] Nice!
[man] All right. It's a deal.
Okay, then. Deal. Thanks.
Cool, thanks.
Goddamn, homie!
We did it.
What's wrong, man?
You don't look happy.
I'm worried 'cause I don't know the place.
Let's promote the shit out of this.
- Dude, it's gonna work. C'mon.
- Yeah, it's gonna work.

[Nando] Scheyla?
Honey?
I didn't want to drag Rita into this.
But it was the only way
to make you trust me.
Just promise me one thing.
Will our kids have a mother?
They'll have a mother and a father.
We're leaving this hell behind us.
It's you and me
against the world, Scheyla.
You probably regret it, right?
Going on that date with me.
But that's still the best day of my life.
And there are more days like that
ahead of us.
Listen to me now.
The plan's moving forward in there.
I'm the one breaking you out, so relax.
Just follow the instructions
and stay close to Irani.
She's in on it, okay?
Trust me, honey. Please, trust me.
Okay.
Okay.
We'll have our family back.
And we'll keep good memories of the past.
I promise you.
[sniffles]
I love you.
I love you too.
Hey, everyone! What's up?
I'm here to ask y'all
if you're coming to Doni's Party.
Every VA Records artist
will be performing.
See y'all in there, all right?
And whoever engages the most
with this post gets a prize. Peace.
Listen up, I've sent you my video,
use it as a model.
I wanna see all of you promoting it,
we need this to work. Peace.
[Irani] Inmate count.
Will you miss me?
If things go south,
you'll all be in trouble too.
It's almost time.
Whatever you need, it's there.
[door cracks]

[whispers] Time to fly.
Fuck yeah!
Finally!
Fuck yeah!

[cell phone buzzes]
Hey, Ms. Lucrécia.
Calling to ask if I've moved out?
Son, you have to come home.
We need to talk.
What's going on?
I've received an offer
for the grocery store.
[tense music playing]
So? Did you take it?
Oh, son. I just couldn't.
So I asked for more.
And they agreed.
So it's happening?
Your father spent his whole life
building this place.
[voice breaking] It's like
he was still here, you know?
Yeah. It's hard for me too, Mom.
But we don't need the store
to keep Dad's memory alive.
He's always with us.
Besides, he'd be proud of you.
- You're a businesswoman now.
- Oh!
Donizete!
Remember when I knocked over the shelves?
Dad was furious.
[Lucrécia laughs, sniffles]
Do you think I should sell it?
Yeah.
Dad's proud of us, Mom.
He'd want to help your business.
My business is taking shape.
This place was built by you two.
Come now, son. Half of this is yours.
No, Mom.
You can keep it. You deserve it.
Okay?
[melancholic music playing]
[Doni] I love you.
[Lucrécia] I love you, sweetie.
Thank you.
Thank you.
[tense music playing]
It's time, brother.
Let's go.
We gotta be quick.
Can't mess this up, homie.
[Pulga] All right.
[tense music playing]
It's all here like Xavier said.
Okay. These right here, come on.
That's it, bro. We're good to go.
Come on.
Let's move, y'all.

INCOMING CALL
Hi, Rita.
Ms. Laura? How are you doing?
I'm doing fine. And you?
Ms. Laura, I went to visit Scheyla
and I told her I missed the kids.
They're at the daycare now.
Yeah, I thought so.
Actually, I wanted to know
if I could have them tomorrow.
I'll have to ask their mother.
I'll visit her on Saturday and ask her.
Then I'll get back to you, okay?
You don't have to. She says it's okay.
She's cool with it.
She's worried about you.
You know,
raising children is a lot of work.
We should share this responsibility.
All right, dear. I really am tired.
Yeah, I can imagine.
You're a warrior, Ms. Laura.
Thank you.
Of course, my dear.
Bye.

Is our lookout there yet?
We'll know as soon as the truck leaves.
All right. And our men?
Are they at the prison?
All set, bro. We're all set.
This can't go wrong. Got it?
When that truck leaves,
the pilot's taking us in by chopper.
All right, bro. It's gonna work. Let's go.

- My barber's the best.
- Y'all ready for tonight?
- [all] Damn right, let's do this.
Why aren't you drinking? Take a sip.
- Nah, only after work.
- [Larety] Say what?
And take care of your voices.
Go easy on the ice and the smoking.
Oh, come on now.
- All right, c'mon.
- Let's do this.
- [Larety] Stop that.
- [Jaspion] We're just smoking pot.
[Larety] Hey, entrepreneur!
That's what I call hip-hop.
Every day with this now?
[Jaspion] For crying out loud.

5:48 P.M.
[phone rings]
[phone rings]
Thank you. No, of course.
Thank you very much.
Excuse me.
- Everything okay?
- Hey.
[hesitates] I wanted to ask you a favor.
If possible, of course.
Can I come in a bit later tomorrow?
I have to take care of my nephews.
Yeah, of course.
- You caught me at a good time.
- Oh, good.
- Can I show you something?
- Sure.
Oh, they're so beautiful. Who are they?
They're my sons.
- No way.
- Yes. My kids.
They're beautiful. Congratulations!
- You deserve it.
- Thank you.
Roberto and I will pick them up next week.
[Rita] Oh.
Four years for the adoption to go through.
- Four years?
- Crazy, right?
- Lord have mercy.
- Yeah.
This was our dream, Rita. My dream.
To be a father. To have a family.
I'm glad you kept fighting. Really.
In the end, it was worth
every second of waiting.
You'll feel even better next week.
You're right. You're right, Rita.
Justice may be slow, but it prevails.
Think about it.
At another time, this would never happen.
- Oh, certainly.
- Right?
The system has many working pieces,
but we have to learn how to use them.
[melancholic music playing]
Yeah.
Go on, now. Go see your nephews.
Thank you.
Maybe one day your nephews
can meet my kids.
One day.
Go celebrate! Congrats!
Thank you.

I won't ask you to do anything
you don't already do every day, got it?
But one sudden movement, homie

Now hit the gas already.
Damn, y'all. We already have fans!

Guys, we can't lose the audience, okay?
[Larety] Damn right.
If a song doesn't bomb,
move on to the next.
[Doni] That's right.
And don't forget to relax
and enjoy the show.

Wait.

[Pulga] Don't look at me, fool.
Here, MC Doni. Your payment, in cash.
- Thanks, man.
- We do things by the books.
- [Doni] Cool.

What do you mean?
You filled the house
and got half the ticket sales!
[man laughs]
- That was great, man!
- All right.
Very good. Bring more artists over.
- You got it. Peace.
- See ya.
- We did it, bro.
- Yeah.

IRANI
THEY'LL BE AT THE WORKSHOP IN ONE HOUR
Hurry the fuck up!
Gonna keep moving at a snail's pace?
- Finish it!
- [panting]
We've just passed a trial by fire, gang!
That's just what we needed, man.
Damn right.
Now we gotta keep going, just like this.

Don't move! Give me all your money!

FEMALE PENITENTIARY
Relax, sis.
Inmates, you'll help set up the workshop
due to a delay with the delivery.
Gotta work hard today. Come on!
[tense music playing]
- [cell phone buzzing]
- [Rita sighs]
Thank you for coming.
Shouldn't you be with your nephews?
What happened?
Look, I wanted to thank you
for everything you've been doing for me.
I brought you here
'cause you're from the hood.
I think this will help you understand
what I have to say.
[William] Okay. Go ahead.
I'm embarrassed.
I've asked you so many favors
But now it's urgent.
- I've got no one else
- Take it easy.
Take it easy.
You haven't asked me any favors.
You've asked for favors
from the institute. We're good.
Remember my childhood friend?
- Scheyla's husband.
- Yes.
He asked me a favor.
His family's at risk,
and I'm the only one who can help him.
Thing is
it wouldn't be legal.
I don't know what to do. I just don't.
Well, are you asking me
as a friend or as a lawyer?
Because I don't know what to say.
As a friend, maybe I'd be in your place,
asking you the same thing.
But as a lawyer,
you know the risks. Right?
[sighs] Listen, Rita.
I have friends like him.
Exactly like him.
I grew up in the hood, like you.
But sometimes we want to help
and just end up getting screwed.
We're always at risk.
But, for the love of God,
isn't there any other way?
[tense music playing]
Just go, damn it! It's time already!
- Calm the fuck down.
- You do your job right, homie.
- It'll be a short trip.
- Okay.
