THIS PROGRAM IS BASED ON ACTUAL EVENTS.

CHARACTERS AND EVENTS
WERE ADAPTED FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT.

Hey, Verena, I parked your car
behind the building. Thank you.

Okay.

Well, I want this day to end soon.

- Was it rough?
- It was.

Yeah... I haven't brought you
Maria Tereza.

No, it's fine. I'm toast at Internal
Affairs anyway. It doesn't matter.

Regina has put the house up for rent.

She's living with Beta at the ranch.

Can I stay here?

Yes. Come on in.

Where did all the mud come from?

Good question.

Mud... a viscous substance.

The sludge of decomposing organic matter.

Teeming with evil and dishonor.

Where it comes from, I don't know.

But I do know it was a sea of mud,
and I was bogged down in it.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

You invited me to this pagode

And warned me
"There's no poor people in here"

You even asked me to tread lightly

Because I've got some color
I'm a bit dark

Here we can really find
The cream of the crop

Doctors, gentlemen, even magnates

With all the drinking and the talking

I came to a conclusion

If you cry out, "Stop thief!"

There won't be a soul left, brother

If you cry out, "Stop thief!"

There won't be a soul left

If you cry out, "Stop thief!"

There won't be a soul left, brother

If you cry out, "Stop thief!"

There won't be a soul left

- Hello.
- Hi, Eva. Any news?

Huh? News?

Good morning, Eva. Any news?

It's 6:30 a.m., Ricardo!

And I didn't get a report
on yesterday's activities.

Any contact? Any activity at the clinic?

I'll check and get back to you.

Hi, Eva.

Have they found Maria Tereza?
Did they check her son's rehab?

I talked to one of the agents.

Maria Tereza hasn't been
to the clinic or to her house.

Okay. Any news, call me on this number.

DAD

Hey, buddy. I didn't call the pharmacy.

Oh, it's mine. Hi. Thank you.

Thank you.

Verena, we have to talk about today.

- I'm late. I have to get changed.
- I'll go to the Internal Affairs Office.

We'll tell them I took the documents,
and you knew nothing about it.

Terrible idea. Forget that.

You... You can't pay for something I did.

This doesn't help at all.

I'm going to get changed, excuse me.

Ruffo, Operation Jet Wash is over.

Hi, Dad. I'm on the treadmill.

The fourth time. Why won't you pick up
when I call, Ricardo?

I'm on the treadmill, Dad.

Listen, I've been talking
to Tom Carvalho's lawyer.

Tom has a cool head for now,
but that guy is a ticking time bomb.

What would you do if you were locked up
and a plea deal was your only way out?

I'm not locked up and never will be.

Listen, I want to know
about that pair of Feds,

about their trial. Did you sort that out?

Everything is under control.

Control? What control, Ricardo?

I did what had to be done.

Today, Internal Affairs
gave their final verdict.

There's plenty of evidence.

They'll be convicted, I'm sure of it.

I hereby declare open the investigative
activities of the Internal Affairs Office,

concerning Agents Verena Cardoni
and Luiz Carlos Guilhome. Agents...

Forensics found no evidence
that the photos were doctored.

We never claimed that the pictures
had been doctored.

The pictures indicate that both you
and the investigative material

were at the same location.

That is sufficient evidence
for both your dismissals.

What I don't understand is why
we have to stop being Ruffo's friends.

Stop being so stubborn!

I can help!

I don't know why you insist
on acting alone. You're not alone.

Those two are done.
Curitiba is not a threat anymore.

Everything is sorted out,
now let me work out.

We remained friends with the family.
We kept on visiting his house.

He has a wife, Regina.
He has a daughter, Beta.

Regina is my friend.

Whenever we had time,
we dropped by their house.

Good afternoon.

I'm here to make a statement.

- Your name isn't on the list.
- I don't work with lists.

You can't go in! Federal Police only!

Twenty years as a Fed, lady.
No area is restricted to me.

Security. Security!

I really don't see myself
or Guilhome as the enemy.

I think you're shutting down
the operation.

And whoever is behind this
must be thrilled.

Deputies, the evidence against you
is robust and irrefutable.

All that's left is to fill out our report
and your resignation papers.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

Inspector, I'd like to present
new evidence concerning this case.

But what is this, Agent?

Please.

This is terribly wrong,
and I must say something.

Ruffo! Ruffo!

I have key evidence to present.

Please, Deputy, sit down.

Agent, show us the evidence
that you have brought.

I did what had to be done.

Stop being so stubborn! I can help!

I don't know why you insist
on acting alone. You're not alone.

Those two are done.
Curitiba is not a threat anymore.

Everything is sorted out,
now let me work out.

I know, the wiretap was illegal.

But fuck it!

In order to get out of the mud,
anything goes. Anything.

I thought Ricardo
was more careful than that.

So did we, right? Anyway...

I'm glad everything worked out.

Water under the bridge, right, Dimas?

Now it's just getting started.

With this recording,
Rigo will authorize the arrest.

Yes, it's just getting started.

Yes, man. Regina has had enough, you know?

But maybe it's best for you
to give her some time, right?

Yes.

I'm crashing here.

That's my bed.

Verena doesn't say anything
because she's being polite.

I know when I'm being a nuisance.

She's a woman, she's got her things...
Likes to be alone...

- Does he know about the recording?
- No. First thing tomorrow morning.

Ricardo just took things
to a whole new level.

That extra bedroom you have at your place.

Any chance that I can...?

Back at my place? You can. Yes, you can.

You just can't right now because...

I have a problem there,
I'm fixing it, right?

- Fixing what?
- Water damage.

Oh, boy...

My neighbor is taking care of it.

- Complicated... He's complicated.
- Oh, boy.

I don't know, I thought it wasn't a good
idea to talk about Roberval.

- What's up, Sheriff? Everything okay?
- Hey, good evening.

Are we out of beer?

No, there's beer. Everyone brought some.

Except you.

- Help yourself.
- Come on. I'm feeling thirsty.

How are you?

Let's go.

Nice to meet you.
I'm Renata, Cláudio's wife.

- Verena. How are you?
- Fine.

I went to pick up Cláudio the other day,
and I saw you saying goodbye to him.

Well, this is Guilhome, my partner.

You've already talked to Ruffo. Vander...

- How are you?
- Hi.

- Would you like anything to drink?
- No, I don't drink.

Oh... You're a prosecutor as well,
aren't you?

- I am.
- Right, Dimas mentioned it.

I was working in São Paulo,
then Cláudio moved here, and I came along.

- Bad move.
- What? Curitiba or Cláudio?

- Forget about it.
- A toast!

Guilhome.

Guilhome?

To the Feds.

Who would have thought?

Arresting Ricardo Bretch...

That would have been unthinkable
not that long ago.

Arresting him is one thing.
Dismantling their operation is another.

We'll have our hands full.

I'm here.

You can't handle all of it.

- I'd like to work with you.
- Oh, Renata...

Why not?

Because things will get messy.

What's the big deal, Cláudio?

For me? None.

But I think it's weird
to push it on Dimas.

"Push it"?

What if he doesn't want this?

He'd be embarrassed to say it
because you're my wife.

Ask in a way that leaves him at ease.

Oh, I don't know how to do
these things, baby. You know that.

- You do know how to do it.
- I'll show you what I can do, okay?

Okay.

Control? What control, Ricardo?

I did what had to be done.

Stop being so stubborn!

I can help!

I don't know why you insist
on acting alone. You're not alone.

Those two are done.
Curitiba is not a threat anymore.

Everything is sorted out,
now let me work out.

We could order Ricardo's arrest
on grounds of obstruction of justice.

Right? The Miller and Bretch operation
yielded excellent material.

Excellent and hard to crack,

but Guilhome is mapping out
the offshore accounts.

Now, Ricardo commissioned a dossier
to disqualify our task force

and raise suspicions about our work...

This area code is for Salvador, right?
It's the area code for Ricardo's phone.

What's this number?
Does he use more than one line?

It's a Miller and Bretch direct line.
That's "Mr. R2."

I don't remember authorizing any wiretaps

for a Salvador number
on the Ricardo Bretch case.

- It was for another case.
- What do you mean?

I thought it was from one case
and put it into another.

You included this number
in a different case?

- Were you misleading me?
- Ricardo wanted to get me fired...

Deputy, wait a minute.

You were just facing disciplinary measures
for using illegal methods

and you're trying this on me?

The operation is on hold.
Soon the contractors...

Do you have any familiarity whatsoever
with criminal procedure?

It's a process, Deputy.

Each step of the operation
will be scrutinized.

Wait a minute.

You were suspended
when this request was filed.

Who are you covering for?

Deputy, I can find this out
with a phone call.

Just an agent. He did it by accident.

By accident or was he protecting you?

- He has a clean record. He would never...
- Name?

Vander Santana.

Who will report the agent's mistake
to the superintendent?

- Me or you?
- I will.

I'll inform the judge
about this "mistake."

We're shutting the wire down.

Will you bring Ricardo in for questioning?

Have a good day, Deputy.

Verena and Ruffo. Ruffo and Verena.

I taught her everything she knows
about police work.

I taught her the right things...

and the not-so-right things.

At first,
she was able to tell them apart,

but over time, things get blurry.

Verena Cardoni.

So, are we arresting Ricardo Bretch?

No.

Rigo figured everything out.

The Salvador area code
caught his attention.

He also realized it couldn't have been me.

- I'm sorry.
- But it wasn't you. It was me.

- To help me, right?
- Because I wanted to.

Man, that woman back there...

That huge ass... Damn, she's fucking hot!

- She smells like, man...
- Jesus Christ...

Hey, what's up, man? We're screwed.

We're screwed. Get that shit out of here.

HIGHWAY POLICE

Are these boxes empty?

No.

Do you have an invoice for them?

I know I made a mistake.
It won't happen again.

I'm sorry.

No one's going to buy that, Vander.
You were protecting Verena.

Roberval, I was alone
and had so much work to do.

Verena and Guilhome were suspended.
It happens.

You'll be given a formal warning.

May I go?

And Verena is doing to you
the same thing Ruffo did to her.

What the fuck is this?

What the fuck is this?

Seized by the highway patrol.

What about the money
for bribing them, where is it?

Well, I paid the first ones.

I had to bribe the other ones
with merchandise.

- Merchandise?
- Yes.

All of it?

The Brazilian Highway Police are cruel.
If we were in Paraguay, we'd be fine.

Goddamn it... Fuck this.

Fuck!

What a show of incompetence, huh?

You used to be much better at this.

You lost everything, Ibrahim?

Well... Not everything, right?
We're still here.

That's good, right?

Wonderful. Amazing.

A little issue with the highway police.

It will take a little longer
than I thought.

Longer?

Do you know how old I'll be in June?

102?

Then you'll be 107, right, honey?

I actually stopped counting,
because it's a bit depressing.

But everything's fine.

She's older.

What the hell?
Are you going to advertise it?

Nonsense. I'm just kidding.

Advertise it!

You look great. Don't be silly!

You'll have to do the wire transfer.

The what?

The wire transfer.
I can't take any more of this.

- I'm not doing it.
- Yes, you are.

I'll get the worst of it.
The ankle monitor is enough. No.

- Yes, Luz.
- He'll know it was me.

Of course not!
You'll do it little by little.

We'll take a little at a time.
He won't even notice. Get it?

- The shit's going to hit the fan.
- Trust me.

This is going to turn to shit.

So far they have 43 offshore accounts
where they keep the money.

Forty-three, but what comes out of one
doesn't go into another.

- Where does it go?
- It disappears. No way to track it.

Perhaps they stagger the amounts,

or there are other offshore accounts
not on our list.

But we follow the trail,
and then it's gone.

We need to understand the cash flow.

The cash flow is impossible to track.

Right, we need Ricardo's computer.

- No, we need Ricardo.
- Yes.

- Why won't you pick up when I call?
- I'm on the treadmill, Dad.

I've been talking
to Tom Carvalho's lawyer.

Tom has a cool head for now,
but that guy is a ticking time bomb.

Tom will end up talking.

Anyone would talk
to get out of that place.

The guy will eventually break.

Put yourself in their shoes, Ricardo.

What would you do if you were locked up
and a plea deal was your only way out?

Put yourself in their shoes, Ricardo.

What would you do if you were locked up
and a plea deal was your only way out?

Put yourself in their shoes, Ricardo.

What would you do if you were locked up
and a plea deal was your only way out?

- Hello.
- Hello.

Renata. It's Verena.

Is Cláudio there?

Verena? Hi. Cláudio?

He is. Come on up, Verena.

I'm running late.
I'll come up some other time, okay?

Could you ask him to come down, please?

Oh, okay. I will. Bye.

Verena, what's up?

Has something happened?

- I want to let JPR go.
- What?

We have to shake the jailbirds
to get to Ricardo.

Send them a clear message.

Releasing a whistleblower is quite clear.

- It sure is.
- They have to talk.

They know enough to get to Ricardo.
Club 13.

- Twelve plus Ricardo.
- Shake them up, release JPR. That's it.

And how do you plan
on letting JPR go, exactly?

I'm toast on the 13th.

Rigo doesn't even want to hear my name.

I thought that maybe you could go
talk to him and suggest the idea.

What about the racketeering case?

I don't know, Cláudio.
Come up with something.

Dimas won't agree to it.

I wouldn't be asking you
if I had any other option, I swear.

Okay.

- I'll deal with Dimas.
- Okay.

I'll make it happen.

Thank you.

Verena, I...

I didn't know if I was supposed
to bring Renata to you house.

- I wanted to talk to you beforehand, but...
- It's perfectly okay.

I wanted to explain how things happened.

Things happened, Cláudio. Period.

Renata.

Hi, I'm sorry, I just let myself in.

- Are you looking for Cláudio?
- No...

Cláudio doesn't know I'm here.

You want to talk?

Yes, I do.

Well, Dimas...

I left a great team in São Paulo
to move here for Cláudio's sake.

Yes, I know.

I can't just sit around while you guys
are in the eye of the storm.

I really want to be a part of this.

Right...

Look, Renata, I'd love to...

but I can't go behind Cláudio's back.

Do you think it would be weird
to work with a couple?

No, it's not that. I just think you
should talk to him first, you know?

The two of you.

And then,
if that's okay, we'll talk again.

I don't want to mess things up.

Just a... It's Júlia.

Hi. So, it's... I'll be there
at 3:30 p.m., all right?

Wait for me in the lobby. Talk to him.

How's the fever?

- Rigo?
- Hey.

Have a look at this.

The DA's office has reviewed the case,
collected the evidence

and is ready to move against JPR
and his family.

I don't think there's enough reason
to keep him detained.

His release is not a threat
to these legal proceedings.

In fact, it even looks promising.

What looks promising?

Releasing JPR.

We'd be sending a message
to the other contractors.

They need to believe that, if they talk,
they'll be released.

It would put some pressure
on Ricardo Bretch.

- Have you been talking to Deputy Verena?
- No.

This came from the DA's office?

DA's office. From me.

Why?

The deputy was intent
on arresting Ricardo,

but an agent made a mistake
that compromised the recording.

It's a shame,
because the recording was very clear.

An agent? Which agent?

That's none of your concern.

I'll take a look at this.

256... QRW... 33.

Son of a bitch!

What?

He's got 35 million.

- I'll transfer just a tiny bit.
- How much?

Twenty.

Done.

We're going to fuck it up.

$20,000... a drop in the ocean.

It seemed meaningless, but to us,
it was the key to everything.

Whoa...

What's up, Guilhome?

That offshore account, Del Este...

a withdrawal was flagged.

$20,000.

What is 20 grand to Ricardo?

It's what his wife racks up
on her credit card every month.

And it gets better...

The money was transferred
to a Brazilian account.

- Whose?
- That's what I want to know now.

- I'll take care of this.
- I'll forward it to you.

We won't unravel
Ricardo's scheme like this.

Oh, but we will. There'll come a time
when things will fall into place.

Ricardo is light-years ahead of us.

We have to figure out the account holder
who received the 20 grand from Del Este.

JPR?

You're showering at home today.

Move.

I'm leaving.

Do you have any messages for Sandra
or the kids?

What is up with you?

You're my daughter's godfather.

That's right.

Someday you'll understand.

We made sense of this world.

And I believed in it.

And I'm the problem?

How will you live out there, João Pedro?

Isn't it dangerous?

Can I shower with this thing?

No one's ever died from it.

Flávio will take you to the airport.

If you need to talk to your wife,
borrow his phone.

Have a good trip.

What's up?

Tell me.

- It's nothing.
- Tell me, Vander.

Letting this guy go, just like that?

I don't like it either, but they do
far worse, funneling millions...

Oh, it's a competition?

Released on a plea bargain
after blowing the whistle

on the largest corruption scheme
in the country,

João Pedro Rangel,
former CEO of Petrobrasil,

left the Federal Police HQ in Curitiba
and arrived in Rio de Janeiro.

Recognized by some of the passengers,

the whistleblower was harassed
upon leaving the airplane.

Wow, that's awful.

Thief, scoundrel!

Film the criminal, do it! Thief!

Son of a bitch!

Go back to prison!

CLINIC - ALBERTO

Hello.

Mrs. Maria Tereza, I'm calling
from the Maria Efigênia Clinic.

Is Alberto all right?

Yes, he's fine.

We're just calling to let you know

that the monthly bill payments
have been cancelled.

Cancelled?

Yes, cancelled.

I'd like to know if you're going
to rectify the situation

or if you are picking up your son.

No, I'll pick him up.

Just tell me one thing...

does he know that he has to leave?

- Not yet. We will...
- No. Don't say anything.

Let me tell him myself.

Okay, thank you.

Listen up, love, the logic here is simple.

It's a quota system, do you understand me?

Ibrahim is the money man,

Pepê is the state-owned CEO.

And you...

You have a big chance
of being the contractor.

You're the richest guy,
the one with the most connections.

You are the one with the most to offer.

Fuck, Tom, you're the man.

You're the man right now.

Well, but would you snitch
on those closest to you?

Fuck, even my mother.
But Ibrahim didn't even leave me that.

What are you feeling? What's up?

It worked.

What's happening?

Fleeting turbulence.

They'll settle down.

He's not feeling well!

Someone has to call a doctor.

- I can't take it.
- What's wrong?

Lie down.

Is there a doctor here?
He's having a heart attack!

Calm down, the doctor's coming.

What am I supposed to do if a big shot
croaks under my command?

Come with me, Verena.

They have nothing on us.
We aren't the ones who made the rules.

We build.

Each and every one of us here
is a builder.

Airports, power plants, stadiums...

The ones who destroy are the guilty ones.

We aren't guilty of anything.

Vander, get in there
and take Tom's blanket.

Guantanamo?

It's more like a country club.

I'm sorry, Deputy, but I won't do that.

Guilhome, go and take it.

They kill people
by denying social services.

They kill the poor
by not providing basic plumbing.

They kill people
in this endless urban war.

And then they play the victim,

as if Brazil's problem
was having too much justice.

It's a dirty game, but it's their game.

It shouldn't be ours.

Verena was being too tough.

But it was my fault.

I was the first one
to set a bad example.

Lorival, wake up!

Here, look! Give this to Tom.

Tom. Hey, Tom!

What's your problem, Cláudio?

- What do you mean?
- JPR was released, and I wasn't informed!

- Verena used me.
- Right, Verena used you.

She came looking for me with this idea
and asked me to talk to Rigo.

She said she wasn't welcome at the 13th,
that Rigo had caught her red-handed,

and that Ricardo's wiretap was illegal,
but Rigo told me it wasn't her,

it was an agent.
Anyway... I didn't get all of it.

- But it was a play by Verena.
- And it didn't occur to you to clue me in?

Dimas, she came by my place at ten p.m.
She called me, and I went downstairs.

Renata picked it up
and was on my case, asking questions...

- That's your problem!
- Okay, Dimas,

I did what I felt I had to do.

Oh, so everything's fine, right?

Every man for himself?

Good to know.

Here to ask me out to lunch?

Why did you convince me to release JPR?

Why didn't you go straight to Rigo?

I told you. Rigo wouldn't see me.

I don't have a lot of time for lunch.
I have to go.

Rigo told me one of your agents
slipped the wiretap into another case.

Oh, he told you?

- It must be true then, right?
- Was it Vander?

Maybe. I don't know.

Did you use me, Verena?

It might have worked.

It didn't.

At least Rigo doesn't think
it was my idea.

Boys' night!

- How's it going?
- What's up?

Man, the less I sleep, the less I sleep.
Are you like that, too?

Yeah...

Hi.

- Ruffo, Jorge.
- Hello.

- Jorge, Ruffo.
- Jorge, nice to meet you.

Ruffo is a deputy for the Federal Police.

No. Former deputy. Former.

- Jorge is a pilot.
- Dangerous stuff.

His route brings him through Curitiba.

Does it? I think it's dangerous.
Those things weren't meant to fly.

Drink it up.

Thank you.

Yes!

Well, a royal canasta.

Stella...

Little sisters playing cards...
That's lovely!

Boys!

- Good, now we can play doubles.
- Has the madam been shopping?

Many fancy stores.

Japanese food...

Come be my partner.
I'm getting my ass kicked by Stella.

Are you playing with mixed canastas?

Did you get it sorted?

I had some credit there.
Old friendships, right?

Nothing spectacular,
but we're in the game.

Back in business.

Come on...

Whisky, shopping, Japanese food...

Do you have money to spare, Stella?

Have you by any chance been messing around
with money that you shouldn't...

Or did you get a sugar daddy?
A millionaire Italian baron?

Jealousy, at this point, Ibrahim?

Go on, Luz. Your turn.

Where did you get the money, Stella?

Luz?

- I wouldn't mess with your money.
- No, right?

"But then my sister told me to..."

So?

It wasn't much.

How much?

How much?

Twenty grand.

What about the water damage? Is it fixed?

What water damage?

The damage in the spare room. It's fixed.

Great. Because that, sometimes,
can be a pain.

Hey. What's up, Vander?

Wait a second.

Go on.

Luz...

Maria...

Damiani...

Caligari.

Caligari.

Thank you.

Luz Maria and Stella Maris.

A country music duo?

Luz Maria is Stella Maris' sister.

- The sisters from Londrina?
- That's it.

Ibrahim's wife and sister-in-law.

Bingo.

The Del Este offshore account.

It was in Ricardo's things.

None of the accounts showed any movement.
Only that one.

I tracked where the 20,000 ended up.

In Luz Maria's account.

Ricardo and Ibrahim...

Together.

I'll die a happy man now.
