PETROBRAS PRESENTS

Ladies and gentlemen, we're on
final approach

to Juscelino Kubitcshek
International Airport.

Please return your seat to the
upright position,

fasten your seat belts, and
close your tray tables.

Thank you.

Dr. Olavo Bilac, please refer
to one of our flight attendants

before disembarking.

Thank you.

- Dr. Olavo Bilac?
- Yes.

You must disembark through the rear door,

there will be a security detail...

I'll call back.

It's okay, sir.

It's okay, I'm here.

Don't be afraid.

What do you mean, Laura?

I'm not afraid.

You know I've never been.

It's okay, I'm here.

Excuse me, sir.

Excuse me.

Attention, passengers, we had
to stop our landing

due to windy conditions.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Quite a scare, huh?

Dr. Olavo, it's a pleasure to
meet you in person.

Raimundo de Oliveira, congressional aide,

also press liaison for Sigma Propaganda,

one of the companies accused
by the murderer.

In fact, I'm glad they found the body

of that poor young lady, right?

Doctor, when will you release your report?

You're famous now, worldwide, actually,

so it's time for you to serve your country.

What do you mean?

All you have to do is say that
it's her body.

My work is not politically motivated.

I read you lost your wife recently.

I did.

And...

that you yourself performed the autopsy

of your wife.

I don't believe it!

Oh, it's so good to see you again!

You look just like dad.

Glasses and everything!

I bet getting me on this case
was your idea, wasn't it?

A little.

You know your sister, don't you?

Now let's go home, you need some rest.

The flight from L.A. is too long, 16 hours?

The flight is okay,

the layover in São Paulo is the worst part.

Here's a little something for you.

For me? That's so nice!

Thank you.

Martins, I found this for you.

Oh, this book is
incredible, really amazing!

I let a friend borrow mine,
never got it back.

I would have done the same, to be honest.

Olavinho, I love it, it's beautiful!

I'll place it next to that
wonderful armchair

you sent us.

Our porch is so cozy, you'll see.

Maria, I'm not staying at your house.

It would remind me of Laura,

we stayed there so many times.

I'm sorry.

Is that okay?

That's fine, that's okay,

But let's get dinner, right?

I'm not hungry.

I even...

Martins?

Let's go to the Coroner's Office?

Maybe I can get it all sorted today.

Okay.

Tobias, we're on our way.

- Get it all ready.
- Okay, I'll be waiting.

Everyone is here.

Tobias is in charge of the case.

He was the one who exhumed the body.

Time of death?

Time of death is consistent
with her disappearance.

That's how it goes here in Brasília,

most murders occur during the rainy season,

when the city is all green.

The bodies are thrown in the woods.

In August, when humidity drops

and the landscape changes,

bodies start turning up all over the place.

CORONER'S OFFICE POLICE

Dr. Olavo?

Just one question, just one, just one.

Dr. Olavo?

Let's roll, let's do it now.

According to the Coroner's Office,

medical examiner Olavo Bilac

will start working on his report tonight.

He won't even rest after the long flight

from Los Angeles to Brasília.

JANE DOE

DNA OF THE HUMAN REMAINS

ATTRIBUTED TO EUGÊNIA CÂMARA

I collected samples from her mother.

The DNA is not a match.

Where did you start?

We gathered all the remains,

the material is at the lab for you.

I think we have enough.

Not quite. Right, doctor?

Olavo, make yourself at home.

How long do you need?

I don't know.

Probably not very long.

Okay, I'll go home and get Maria

so we can go out to dinner later.

Tobias...

Make sure he gets all he needs.

- See you soon.
- See you.

Do you need anything else, doctor?

No, no.

AUTOPSY REPORT

According to reports
pertaining to this inquiry,

as well as witnesses,

it is safe to state that the
suspect, Augusto dos Anjos,

single, cinematographer,

born in São Paulo on March 31, 1974,

kidnapped, tortured, and killed

his co-worker Eugênia Câmara.

The probable cause is the jealousy

that the suspect felt towards the victim,

whose reckless lifestyle led
to passional displays,

as stated and confirmed by the witnesses.

AUGUSTO DOS ANJOS ARRESTED AT
HOME THIS AFTERNOON

WHERE IS EUGÊNIA?

Martins?

Martins, is that you?

Laura?

Olavinho?

Olavinho?

Wake up, Olavinho!

Wake up.

You should go to my
place and get some rest.

No, no, no way.

We should go out to eat.

We've been invited to dinner.

There's a great shower over there.

Take a shower, it will wake you up,

and wear a tie,

it's a fancy dinner to
honor Senator Romero.

I really don't know how he can work

with all this chaos,

paperwork everywhere,

I don't understand.

He must be really good at what he does

in order to get anything done here.

A lot of commotion outside the
Coroner's Office

as Dr. Bilac leaves.

He may have already identified the body.

Any information you can give us?

Dr. Bilac?

Do you have any idea how...

Any new information?

We'll have the report tomorrow at noon.

Please. At noon.

Dr. Olavo!

Please talk to us.

According to Dr. Martins Fontes,

the report will be revealed
tomorrow at noon,

which will determine the fate
of Augusto dos Anjos,

who allegedly killed Eugênia Câmara.

Cacilda Becker reporting for Candango News.

Thank you, Cacilda.

We have Mr. Rui Barbosa here with us today,

he's Augusto dos Anjos's defense lawyer.

Mr. Rui Barbosa, thank you for coming.

Will you be pursuing a new habeas corpus

for your client?

Yes, absolutely.

As I'm certain that the report will confirm

that the body found is not Eugênia Câmara.

Therefore, my client can't be
accused of murder.

He must be released immediately,

and he'll be out on bail as he's tried

for the remaining counts, I'm sure of that.

EUGÊNIA CÂMARA SECRETS BEHIND THE SCANDAL

There, the one with Martins is our Olavo,

the most important man in town, excuse me.

Dr. Olavo!

I'm so glad you came.

How are you, Martins? Maria, looking great.

We're happy to have you with us tonight.

How do you like our weather so far?

It's a lot like L.A., warm during the day,

a little chilly at night.
Desert-like weather.

Mr. Gonçalves Dias is looking forward

to meeting you.

This way, please.

Mr. Gonçalves Dias is the chairman

of Sigma Propaganda, this is his house.

Mr. Gonçalves Dias.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

I really admire your work, Dr.
Olavo. I really do.

We need to talk. Let's go inside.

It's really her, isn't it?

She was raped, wasn't she?

I heard she was beaten to death.

How about your wife,

is it true that she died from
a car accident,

and you were driving?

No, she died alone. Her parachute failed.

Our society columnist, Humberto de Campos.

How are you?

His wife was a skydiver.

This one... I shouldn't even introduce you,

because it's his party that's
raising this mess

against us.

But he's very nice!

Congressman Machado de Assis.

Hello.

Senator Joaquim Manuel de Macedo,

he's with our party.

Doctor?

What gives? We're waiting for your report.

So is our party.

Absolutely.

The outstanding journalist
Gregório de Matos.

- Excuse me one second.
- Hello.

The ambassador of Senegal, Mr.
Jean-Paul Sartre,

Coroner Olavo Bilac.

Pleased to meet you.

Congresswoman, what a pleasure!

- Good night.
- Senator.

The prettiest congresswoman in Brazil.

- So kind.
- Senator, it's an honor.

Come on in.

Where's the man?

He's here.

Listen, senator,

is it true that...

I'm about to receive a
congressional subpoena?

Good evening.

Stay put, I'll make it go away.

Don't worry, Gonçalves.

Martins.

How are you? Martins.

Dr. Bilac.

Congresswoman Georgesand Romero.

- How are you?
- Hi.

Senator Romero.

Hello.

So... Professor...

is your report ready?

Well... I'm still...

still working on it,

it's still not conclusive.

Right.

Well?

I hope at least dinner is ready.

More than ready. Shall we?

Let's go eat, sweetheart.

I'm not hungry yet, dad.

Excuse me.

Martins, the senator needs to have a word.

What about you?

Are you hungry?

I'm not hungry at all.

A drink, maybe, is better.

Come with me, then.

We've been having the worst draught

in recent history.

I need to drink lots of water, nonstop.

Were you married for many years?

Excuse me...

Hello, how are you? All good?

- Is your grandfather here?
- Yes.

Let me go say hello to him.

I think they're bluffing
when they say that.

Mr. Chairman!

Senator.

You wanted to see me, senator?

You had to bring in an honest
doctor, damn it.

My apologies, senator,

but I informed your aide

that the orders from above

were to bring in someone
completely unbiased.

This is why I hate tropical weather.

Hot weather is horrible, it
makes people dumb,

unable to think straight.

This country is turning into a land

of intellectual pygmies, no
one can think straight.

Who told you I wanted an unbiased doctor?

Raimundo, escort Martins
to the dining room.

Your wife must be looking for you.

Excuse me.

Don't worry.

He's in good hands.

Let's go. Let's eat.

She's dead. That's it.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Sorry, I meant to say you don't need...

to spend your whole life waiting, like me,

the divorcée.

A divorce is so much worse. So much.

Your life is defined.

Her death paved the way to your future.

You're alone.

Alone forever, there's no one,

there's no hope.

She appeared to me on the plane,

and at the lab.

Laura, my deceased wife.

She...

On the plane, she rescued me,
I was panicking.

At the lab, she...

I saw her on the video, then she left,

it wasn't her anymore,

it was Eugênia.

They were one.

I think I...

I think I should go.

I'll drive you.

Off goes Georgina. Let's go.

Brasília by night.

Eugênia is alive.

Why don't you just get it over with?

That body is Eugênia, why
don't you face the truth?

Those who oppose the government, my dad,

try to take advantage of that scandal.

What do you want?

Do you want a reward?

Just say it.

My dad's guards are following us.

PARKING HOURLY AND MONTHLY

Georgina!

Georgina! Please, Georgina.

Georgina, please, we'll get in
trouble for it.

Turn it down... turn it down.

Are you thinking about her?

Eugênia?

Yeah.

Eugênia.

Do you know what her nickname was?

Genie.

Do you know why?

Because she was all-knowing.

Genie.

Genie.

Eugênia.

Genie.

Eugênia.

Perfect. I'm sending it right up.

Okay? Thank you.

Please...

You must be Dr. Olavo, from
the Coroner's Office.

Please, fill out your details

and give it back tomorrow,
it's just a formality.

There's an envelope here for you,

and two messages.

Francisca said she'll be here
tomorrow morning,

eight o'clock sharp.

I'm here if you need anything.

Keys?

Sure, the keys.

Thank you, doctor, I apologize.

Hello?

Perfect. I'm sending it right up.

Thank you.

MARTINS FONTES PICK UP AT 8:00 AM

PHONE MESSAGES

Hello?

Hello, good evening.

Who is this?

It's me.

Who's speaking?

It's me.

Who?

Laura?

May I come up?

Of course.

I'm waiting for you.

Hold on, mister.

Who are you?

Who sent you up here?

You did, mister.

Why did you say your name was Laura?

I didn't day that, you did.

Listen, you don't need to stay.

I'll pay you.

Hold on.

How much?

Whatever.

Whatever you can pay is fine.

One more thing.

Could I sleep on your couch?

I live too far, it's late for
me to get home.

Okay.

I know this girl.

Mister?

Mister?

Do you have a bible I can borrow?

Yeah.

I'll be right down.

Thanks.

Dr. Olavo!

Up here, please.

Give me a moment, Tobias.

Dr. Olavo...

Dr. Martins is waiting in the car.

Thank you, doctor.

How are you?

Did you receive an envelope yesterday?

Yes, yes, with pictures of your daughter.

She's alive, doctor, I'm sure.

I know that Dr. Martins is upset with me,

but the body found is not Eugênia.

I know, things are not falling into place.

They got blood samples from you...

Twice, doctor.

That's how I know my daughter isn't dead.

I'm positive, doctor.

She must be in hiding, running away.

- Running away?
- Yes, from the senator's men.

From the almighty Sílvio Romero.

She started working for him

after she finished her doctorate.

- In economics?
- Yes.

Economics.

She's always liked studying,
since kindergarten.

She had the highest score on
the application test

to work for the Cabinet.

Since she was a dedicated and
competent employee,

she was asked to work with the
Budget Committee

presided by the senator.

She worked so hard, Doctor.

She even worked weekends.

She even passed up a chance to do a movie.

Yeah, a film, with her boyfriend, Augusto.

Meanwhile, in the Budget Committee,

she eventually realized that
she was helping them

commit fraud.

She had to alter numbers
approved by Congress

to favor companies and people
connected to the senator.

It's all in here.

Take a look, doctor.

Then, she started asking
questions, many questions.

She's very smart, you know?

The senator tried to get her in on it.

First, with lies, then, he
offered her bribes.

She left the Committee,

promised she wouldn't talk,

and took a leave of absence.

Two days later,

she was invited to a party.

She never came back.

Well, I have to go.

Have you ever saved anything of hers,

a baby tooth, a lock of hair?

If you find anything, please
come see me. Okay?

Francisca doesn't give up.

How did she locate you?

Easy for someone who fought dictatorship.

She's annoying, but I respect her.

She's a brave woman.

You can see that Tobias is
with the opposition.

The country is sinking into corruption.

Take Senator Romero, for example.

There you go again talking about him.

Do you think that Augusto dos Anjos

is innocent too?

No way! He's a crook, a junkie.

He did kill his girlfriend.

She was no angel, her mother
doesn't have a clue.

But, truth is, Romero lined his pockets.

And where's proof of this so-called truth?

The congressional
investigation will get it.

Investigation...

Investigation...

Tobias, you're gullible.

You believe in congressional
investigations.

If they ever got proof of anything,

half the Congress would be sitting in jail.

Oh, God!

- Hello?
- Dr. Olavo?

- Oh, God!
- Yes.

Eugênia speaking, Eugênia Câmara.

- Where are you?
- I can't tell you yet.

- Brasília?
- I can't tell you yet.

Where?

I need to speak to you. I'm afraid, doctor.

I need to speak to you.

Tell me where to find you.

I can't tell you, it's too risky.

I really need to speak to you.

Eugênia...

Eugênia, listen...

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

It's almost time.

So, is the report ready?

Since yesterday.

HUMAN REMAINS REPORT CONCLUSION

NOT A MATCH TO EUGÊNIA CÂMARA

Not a match to Eugênia Câmara?

Fuck! Are you insane? You can't do that!

It's not her.

Those remains are not Eugênia Câmara.

You know damn well. I can't
sign a phony report.

If you love your sister,
you'll sign this right here.

It's a match to Eugênia Câmara.

She's alive.

I think you've been listening
to that annoying lady.

Can't you see it's a mother

who can't cope with the loss
of her daughter?

No, no, no, she's right.

Eugênia is alive.

I've just spoken to her.

Don't you know how important this is to me?

Maybe you will never know.

But I beg you, for God's sake,

please sign this report right now.

I'm sorry, my man, I can't do it.

I can't sign this.

Not now.

I need more time.

Fine...

24 hours.

Let's tell the press that we're waiting

for test results from the university lab.

Let's go, we're late.

Therefore, we have no
choice but to transfer

for tomorrow, same place, same time,

today's press conference.

- Dr. Martins?
- Yes.

- Dr. Martins?
- Yes.

Why bring a medical examiner
all the way from L.A.?

I was ordered to bring someone
completely unbiased,

with no ulterior motives.

Dr. Olavo, did you perform the
autopsy of your wife?

Was it a parachute accident, doctor?

My apologies, thank you, see you tomorrow.

Dr. Olavo...

Olavo, this is Gregório de Matos,

an old friend and a good partner.

How was your night? Some friends await us.

Just a second. Yeah, take him to lunch.

Take them to the car.

Hello.

Yes.

Of course I have a report ready.

But... he said no.

He...

promised to sign it tomorrow.

Okay.

Okay.

Eugênia and Congresswoman Georgesand

have always been considered

the most beautiful women in Congress.

As far as I'm concerned,
in all of Brasília.

They're gorgeous, powerful.

Rumor has it the two of them...

Well, Eugênia has always been a lobbyist

for large corporations and banks.

She was irresistible.

And vanished.

Without a trace.

Not a letter, not a document.

Augusto dos Anjos got mixed up with

accusing congressmen and senators

of all kinds of crimes.

An outrage.

Budget fraud, kickbacks, fake biddings,

bribery in exchange for votes,
for nominations,

all sorts of absurd accusations

to cover up his crime.

The true story is very simple.

He killed Eugênia out of jealousy.

Well, she was beautiful, very pretty.

Of course Augusto dos Anjos
couldn't handle seeing

his girlfriend banging ten men.

He killed her.

He was with her

on the last night she was seen in Brasília.

In order to evade justice,

he came up with this tale
about budget fraud.

But they weren't married.

No, that's why he lost it when he saw her

gangbanging at the party and
decided to kill her.

That was the last time she was
seen anywhere.

Without this report, things will get ugly.

Congressmen are shitting their pants.

And the Executive.

I think even more than in Congress.

I told you, I told you.

Waiter, bring me a beer.

It's just a matter of identifying the body.

Isn't that right?

How hard is it to identify
remains in this day and age?

This guy is stalling.

He's a foreigner, I don't trust him.

He's hiding something.

Dr. Olavo!

Good to see you, thank you, Gregório.

Please. Have a seat.

Dr. Olavo, I don't know if
you've met everyone.

Next to my dear Gregório, Mr. Paula Ney.

Emílio de Menezes.

João do Rio.

And the renowned journalist Coelho Neto,

the most read columnist in Brasília.

Dr. Olavo, forgive me, but I have to leave,

my TV show airs in 20 minutes.

But I can't go without asking you,

why haven't you signed the report?

Because...

I still...

There are certain things that
need to be examined.

Dr. Olavo, she was gorgeous, wasn't she?

Wasn't your show about to air?

Have you seen her photos?

The sex tape? She had a hot ass,

just gorgeous, wasn't she?

A body... flawless body.

Flawless.

I know because I saw her play tennis once.

Coelho was pretending to be a
serious reporter

and didn't stick around.

He obviously banged her.

He kept publishing the notes
she asked him to

when she was a lobbyist.

I mean, if he didn't bang her,
he was an idiot.

Coelho was in love. Actually, still is.

I remember when she was
dating the minister.

Secretly dating.

Coelho found out, located them in New York,

when the president spoke at
the UN, I was there myself.

Coelho got so hurt, so hurt,

and still wouldn't stop
publishing her notes.

Rumor has it he was at
the famous sex party.

Famous party.

She even won a contest there,
right, Raimundo?

She was a lady, she was a lady.

Was it ten or eleven?

- That banged her?
- Yeah.

I don't know.

But I know Augusto dos Anjos was there

waiting for her.

He was coked out of his mind,
drowning in alcohol.

I think they left together.

She was never seen after that.

Doctor, you have a call.

- Hello?
- Olavo?

Yes, who is it?

It's me, Georgesand.

Oh, you.

My driver, Lima, is at the restaurant,

he'll bring you here, where I am.

I really need to talk to you.

Dr. Olavo,

will you leave us with this cliffhanger?

This inconclusive report indefinitely?

He just sneaked out.

And didn't even open his mouth to eat.

Not even to eat.

It's all sorted, it's all sorted.

Machado de Assis was at Dias's party

talking to the chairman.

The guy who picked Olavo up.

Isn't he Georgesand's driver?

- He is.
- Son of a bitch!

I told you!

Where is she?

Where are you taking me?

Sobradinho.

Haven't you been here before?

Of course I have.

You have to, everyone comes here.

It's where the money is, right?

I'm not here for that.

Alright, then.

I apologize.

I know why you're here.

You came because of that...

everyone knows.

But the dead body is really her, right?

I don't understand why you're stalling.

Sign the report already.

Or are you expecting some kind
of compensation?

Am I right?

Who do you work for?

Relax, doctor.

I work for Congresswoman Georgesand.

I also work for the senator.

I've worked for the family
ever since I was a kid.

Don't worry, you can trust me.

I know that Georgina really liked you.

Why don't you repay

by helping her father out of this mess?

There's nothing I can do, I'm
not a politician.

I'm here to do my job, my duty as a doctor.

That's my point.

You should listen to me and
put an end to it.

No, no, no, I don't need to know

anything other than the case files.

But I'll tell you things the
case files don't show.

It all started because Georgina
has a habit of helping people.

You're too inflexible, dad.

It's legit, it's for the blind...

She wanted to help an
institute for the blind

that missed the deadline to
apply for federal support.

It's easier than you
think, right, Raimundo?

Senator, the operation is
wonderfully simple.

Raimundo had the idea.

He conceived the idea
of amending the budget

after congressional approval.

With these figures we can...

They could do it. After all,
it was to help the blind.

The next day, Raimundo shows up

suggesting other organizations, those NGOs.

Elderly from Ceará,

handicapped from Rondônia,

each congressman had a pet organization.

It's completely safe to do it.

You know I really hate tropical weather.

I'm not built for this weather either.

One day, Raimundo shows up

with the owner of Sigma.

Mr. Gonçalves Dias, you met him.

He had a scheme to finance campaigns

using slush funds, you know?

The senator agreed to help him

in exchange for a donation "to the blind."

Gonçalves, don't worry, I'll deny it,

I'll deny my own existence.

Many top executives followed
Mr. Gonçalves's steps.

Everyone wanted to donate to the blind!

The business was solid, everyone was happy,

then this Eugênia Câmara came along.

She was nominated for a position

in the Budget Committee.

A friend of the senator

used to approve everything.

She was different.

From the very beginning, she
refused to sign off

release of funds, it was a shitshow!

Georgina talked to Eugênia directly.

They became good friends.

I've been so out of time, too much work.

But I've noticed you...

Eugênia had a friend, Augusto dos Anjos,

who wanted to make a film.

Will you be in it?

- No!
- No?

No!

You're gorgeous!

- No, stop it!
- You're gorgeous.

Stop, Georgina. No... No way, forget it.

But do you have any idea of the amount?

Georgina reached out to the owner of Sigma,

who said he'd finance it.

And he didn't make any film,
he snorted all the money.

I think it's just another
indie film that will go nowhere,

but it doesn't matter.

Eugênia was done with
him, they had a fight.

But the guy was in love, jealous,

and killed her.

You have no idea how hard this
has been on Georgina.

If you care about her at all,
you'll sign this report

saying that the remains are Eugênia's.

Senator Antonio Manuel de Macedo...

Joaquim Manuel de Macedo.

Sorry. Joaquim Manuel de Macedo,

it's a pleasure to have you.

We still don't have the final report

from the Coroner's Office.

Whatever the report, Augusto dos Anjos

has a hearing tomorrow.

He accused my colleagues

of stealing from the country's budget.

- Come in, please.
- Hello.

Olavo, this is Francisca.

Please, have a seat.

I asked you to come here to
hear an important detail.

Francisca will tell you.

Eugênia is not my daughter.

I raised her since she was born,

but she's not my daughter.

That's why you can't finish your work.

Take this.

This is a lock of her hair.

And this is her birth certificate,

the name of her mother is there.

Excuse me.

Our show today will talk about

political and administrative
corruption in Brazil.

I had to see you again.

What do you make of the
current political scenario?

I wanted you to know that I believe in you.

I believe in your work.

What about your father?

Forget him.

I want you to have total independence.

I also want to say goodbye.

I'm flying to Miami today,

I don't want to be in the investigation.

Come with me.

To Miami?

I can't.

Sign this report saying it's her already,

so we can leave this place.

I'm bringing cash with me.

Part of it, there's more there,

it's waiting for you, come on.

If she's alive, I'm sure...

If she were alive, she
would have turned up.

She's afraid.

She's in hiding.

I'm sure about that.

An endless cycle of quid pro quo.

Corruption is not a novelty.

It dates back to the empire.

The current scenario is much more extreme,

much more exposed,

but it encompasses things

that are unprecedented to us.

What we take from this crisis,

which, in my opinion,
will save the country,

it establishes a protagonist
and an antagonist,

the essence of theatre.

Paula Ney, tell us how the readers

of Time Magazine are being informed

about our current political situation.

They're being informed via e-mail.

I'm kidding.

Since the empire...

I have science on my side.

I'm sure. I won't change my mind.

The patriarch of independence...

Tell us, do you think
corruption in Latin America

is endemic?

Is it a culture impossible to eradicate?

Please get my bag on the back seat.

Open it, there's a gift for you.

GLOBAL AIRLINES

Come with me.

Leave it all behind, Eugênia, Laura,

all these people, starting with my dad.

I'm not going to Miami, you know that.

Good night.

Dr. Olavo, could you please?

Messages coming nonstop for you today.

It's hectic.

You're the man of the hour!

Keys?

Keys, of course.

Please, doctor.

URGENT

URGENT

I've never left Brasília.

I was hiding at a friend's ranch.

But now, I want to get out of here.

Do you know what I'm gonna do?

No, what are you gonna do?

Have you read Ratzel?

He was a Jewish philosopher... no, poet.

He said that if you desire something,

it's not a dream.

What do you desire?

What do I desire?

I want to study more.

I dream about a post-doctorate in Berkeley.

Or maybe in Florida, in Miami.

Berkeley, Berkeley.

I want to finish my thesis

about Brazil's economic dependency

and its social issues.

But I don't want to stay.

Like me.

I want to return.

I will return.

Olavo?

You know what I was thinking?

Our vacations.

We can't reschedule.

No need to reschedule,

we could split our time,

Spend half the time in Brasília,

half the time in Rio.

Your sister won't get upset.

Maria expects us

at her housewarming party.

Olavo, but it's Rio!

I know, all you can think of
is hang-gliding.

Flying off Gávea, can you imagine?

Taking off over the big blue sea,

and the forest...

I wanna fly, Olavo, I wanna fly!

No, I can't, I have to get up
early tomorrow,

I have an early dive.

Olavo!

Tomorrow, I'll have a surprise.

Tomorrow, I'll do a freefall.

Laura?

Eugênia?

Where are you?

You vanished!

What the hell? I need to talk to you ASAP!

Okay.

I'll go meet you.

Tell me where to find you.

No, no, no...

Stay put, I'll send a car.

And don't you vanish, damn it!

Fine. I'll be waiting.

Alright.

Let's do this, Martins.

You should go, Martins.

MACHADO DE ASSIS AND AUGUSTO DOS ANJOS

TO BE HEARD BY CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION

Esteemed congressmen,

the accusation against me is
meant to attack my party,

not this humble representative
of the workers in this country.

The ulterior motive is to
taint the public service

that my party has stood for
since it was established.

My financial, fiscal, and
phone records are available,

help yourselves to any information.

I'll prove my innocence. You'll see.

Each and every one of you will
see me prove my innocence.

Politicians...

Could you get me a cab, please?

To this address.

Riacho Fundo, doctor?

It's a long way, but he knows
where it is, hold on.

I can drive him.

Just a moment, let me get the car.

Riacho Fundo.

- Where is he?
- He got in a cab.

I need the key to room 510.

Throw it in there.

This is for you.

And this is for you.

For me? Thank you.

And this is yours.

Thank you!

And this is mine, look how cute.

Right here.

Is it Ze Maria?

No, it's not! It's him! My friend!

This way. Come on in!

- Should I wait, sir?
- Yes, please.

This. Is this yours?

Josefine, please make some coffee.

I asked if this is yours.

No, mister. I don't wear it.

Were you at my hotel last night?

Did you spend the night there?

No, I didn't go to work last night.

I didn't need to, so I took the night off.

I went out to spend the money you gave me.

- Is he here?
- Who?

Get going. Go.

That's Ze Maria.

Get out of here!

Doctor, I came to pick you up.

You look like you need some coffee.

Your luggage is in the car.

You can't miss this flight.

Let's go.

Yeah, I met Eugênia.

But it was only once, at a party.

They hired a group of girls,
so we went to this mansion.

It was all a setup, you know?

Eugênia was being set up.

She got there with that boyfriend of hers,

he was so wasted.

She realized something was up
and decided to leave.

But when she was leaving, they grabbed her,

the security guards surrounded her.

I stayed with her until
after everyone left,

until the end of the party.

Poor girl...

I called a cab and got her home.

But she wouldn't stop crying.

She wouldn't say anything, she
wouldn't even curse.

I felt sorry for her.

And the boyfriend?

Well, he took off.

He was really high, and really drunk too.

I think a friend of his took
him home or something.

And I saw his face,

he couldn't care less when he
saw it was a trap.

But... from that to killing Eugênia...

I don't think he did.

He didn't look like a killer.

He really didn't.

Have you seen her after that night?

No, she went MIA.

But, if she was killed,

I'm sure that guy didn't do it.

Okay, doctor, here's the deal.

They're waiting for you in there.

You'll sign the report they
prepared for you.

You sister has been kidnapped,

she's being held in one of the suites,

along with Tobias, your
bother-in-law's assistant.

They have pictures of the two, naked,

and they'll leak them

if you don't sign the damn report already,

stating that the deceased is
who she is, damn it!

Hold it, doctor.

I'll take you to Dr. Martins.

And you, just crouch here and wait.

Okay?

You ruined my life, you son of a bitch.

You selfish prick!

Let go of me!

Your science is clueless, you idiot!

Let go of me, damn it!

Let go.

Look...

Look what you've done to your sister!

If you don't sign the report right now,

these photos will be on the evening news.

Maria has to be released first.

I'll sign the report

when Dr. Martins and Maria are out of here.

Have you heard?

Have you heard?

He'll sign when we let them go.

And I want negatives, tapes, everything.

Tell them!

He wants the negatives and the tapes.

Bring Dr. Fontes, by himself.

Dr. Fontes.

Nicely done, doctor.

You're on a roll, don't show weakness now.

I don't get one thing, doctor.

Why didn't you agree sooner?

You would have gotten a pile of cash

and have the senator as a friend.

Not to mention Georgina.

You had it so easy, man.

The tapes.

Set his package on the desk.

This is hers, the hair.

It's Eugênia's.

Francisca gave it to me yesterday.

Now we can find out the truth.

Making accusations is easy.

It's like throwing a stone
tainted with evil.

It's also a game of all or nothing.

I must say, ladies and gentlemen,

that this stone almost hit me.

Not as a person,

because my life is my
testimony, it's my shield.

But what did the thrower have in mind?

Hitting the institution to which I belong,

the Senate.

A plan put forward by insane troublemakers,

such as the one accusing me in
this investigation.

A liar...

a killer...

a despicable criminal.

Excuse me.

I must say that...

I'm proud that the truth has prevailed.

You know me well,

you know that my life

as a public servant has always been about

standing up for ethics and
morals in this country.

Thank you very much.

If she calls, tell her that I...

Your briefcase, doctor.

God bless you.

Let's go, kid.

I'm an artist.

I may have flaws, addictions...

but I'm not a thief.

I'm not a killer.

Unlike the ones being accused here,

based on documents Eugênia trusted me with,

and the police took away from me.

This is it.

Let's name names.

Name the sharks, the crocodiles,

this is the Brazilian jungle, everyone.

Because these congressmen, these senators,

this criminal organization acts like this.

Money to the blind?

Who wouldn't want to see that?

Money to the orphans?
Who's being abandoned?

Everything, absolutely everything,

is about money.

Money.

"My land has money where money sings.

Let's go to money, where I'm
friends with money."

"World, world, wide money world..."

I'm a Brazilian artist, not a
thief, not a killer.

I'm a Brazilian artist.

Sir?

Thank you.
