Come on!
Come.
- Stop! - [horn honking]
- Here, honey. - Listen up!
Stay here. When I yell, you come. Got it, Scheyla?
Okay.
It's over, damn it!
It's over! Get the fuck out!
- Get out, damn it! Beat it! - All right, I'm going.
- Scheyla! Come on! - Hold my hand. Come on!
Hurry!
Get in!
[tires screech]
[tense music continues]
- [tires screech] - [music fades]
Where are we going?
Give me a minute. I'm thinking.
[Scheyla] Luiz Fernando, for God's sake, where are we going?
I said I'm thinking!
Stop, Mom! I'm scared.
No, honey. Mommy's here. Everything's fine.
Dad, will we still go on a plane?
- Yes, son. - [Enzo] Okay.
We will.

Everything's fine.
They're sleeping.
Now what?
You're not getting on that plane.
What do you mean?
You can't, Scheyla.
Where will we go?
Stay here, until things get better.
I'm not staying in this shithole.
Relax. I'll fix this, Scheyla.
How? Again? You're leaving. How am I supposed to handle this?
- Alone with two kids? - Scheyla, listen to me.
I'm thinking. Maybe we'll have to go by sea.
Are you kidding me?
I won't send my kids out to sea!
They're my kids too, Scheyla!
Then learn to honor the promises you make to their mother.
I'm tired.
I'm so damn tired, Luiz Fernando.
[sniffles]
[Doni] The first time I went on stage was at a party here.
I still have the ticket for that show.
I had a stomachache all day.
[chuckles]
The stomachache goes away, but those pre-show butterflies never do.
I thought about your proposal.
And?
I'm in.
[chuckles]
Jaspion has agreed to sell his share.
I'll stay on as artistic director. Secure my kid's future.
mm-hmm.
That's fair.
Then there's the festival.
I want Bang to sponsor VA Festival.
I think it will be good to show we're working together again.
And to show you support the community too, you know?
Of course.
I'll talk to Luan, but…
- Hey, it'll work out. - All right.
- Let's go with VA Festival then. - First of many?
- First of many. - Deal.
[chuckling]
[upbeat music plays]
[Doni] Turn it up here. But this part…
♪ Of all the loves I've ever felt ♪
- Goes in the middle. - ♪ I know this is… ♪
Drag it out, and let the instrumental come in with it, you know? Because…
I'll add an effect to make this part more emotional.
Yeah, because it's about my kid.
[Larety] As always, right?
- Hey, what's up? - [man] Hey, Larety.
- [MLK] All good? - No messing around, okay?
- [Nuevo] Hey, Doni, what's up? - [Doni] Hey, man.
- How are you guys? - Good.
- What are you guys up to? - Working on something.
But we were saying earlier, since you guys are here,
we could do something together again, right?
- It's been ages since we did. - Ages.
- Music to my ears. - For real.
I've only thought of the chorus. The melody.
Go on, drop a beat. It's like…
♪ The victory of the underdogs ♪
- ♪ Yeah ♪ - ♪ Yeah ♪

[Nando] I had to move my family into that hole you found.
What's worse, my buddy got blown up.
If I go now, it'll jeopardize the operation.
And if I go, who's to say my family will be okay?
That I'll be safe?
I'm talking to you, bro. You listening?
[Joel] Yeah. I'm listening, ND.
And you? Are you listening to yourself?
Sounds like you don't know who you are.
After all we did to get here,
there's no turning back.
I'm not going like this, pal. Don't you get it?
Well, think about it.
Everyone loses friends.
Others show up, right?
But your word of honor, you only lose it once.

PSYCHOLOGIST
HI, RITA. JUST REMINDING YOU OF OUR SESSION TOMORROW AT 9:00 A.M.
LET US KNOW IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT.
Seven, one, seven, one…
If you can, in five minutes, come to my office…
Excuse me.
I need to talk to you. I need your help.
I'm looking for alternatives and solutions to our case,
and I believe a settlement is best for all involved.
Oh, Rita, this is getting exhausting.
Beatriz's instructions were clear. We only have one client.
You said I was naive. I may be idealistic, but I'm not naive.
Where I come from, reality hits you early.
Look, I came here full of ideals too.
The sooner you know your place, the better.
I'm trying to find the best solution for our client.
If it can also help the affected workers, why not?
Even better.
Just listen to me, please.
Here's the deal.
If, by the end of my argument, you still think the defense is weak,
I'll go back to my desk, drop it, and we'll stick to the plan.
- [sighs] - [phone locks]
All right, fine.
A settlement with the workers shows goodwill, speeds up the verdict,
and could even clean up the festival's image.
I've spoken to the civil team.
They think it's possible and can help put together a deal with us.
- Plus, I know William very well. - Hmm.
I can help negotiate with him.
So, it's all set then?
Pedro, you're the lead lawyer on the case.
- Exactly. - You can help me find a way in.
Beatriz only trusts you.
Hmm.
She'll only agree if we present this case in the right way.
Together.
- Okay, show me the case law. - Sure, right away.
This is a summary. I can send you the rest by email now.
[pensive music playing]
[dramatic swell]
[upbeat music playing]
[man] Testing, one…
Hello. Two.
One, two. Testing.
One, two.
[upbeat music continues]
- So, craving satisfied? - Mmm!
It's a cheap shot, you know?
What? The ice cream?
You bringing me here to convince me to move to VA.
I wanted to show you the support you'll have here.
When I decided to tell you I was pregnant, that's what I thought.
What?
I've always looked up to you, your friends, and your family.
- I'm the free spirit. - Yeah, I always thought that. [chuckles]
That's what I liked about you.
[chuckles]
But my son deserves to grow up surrounded by people spoiling him,
taking care of him.
It's funny because my dream was to travel the world tattooing,
meeting tons of people.
And now, what I want for my son is the opposite.
Just a bunch of people around him to make him happy.
To make sure he's okay.
I know he'll be well taken care of here.
He will.
Listen.
I always thought you were amazing.
Gorgeous, hardworking.
But, I don't know, this phase we're going through now
showed me you're even more amazing than I thought.
You'll be happy with us, God willing.
[sighs]
[upbeat music playing]
[indistinct whispering]
She's leaving.
Beatriz, sorry to barge in.
I wanted… I mean, we wanted to say something about the festival.
You have until the elevator, I have dinner with a client.
- We did some research, and… - "We"? You two together?
- Yes. - Yes.
It seems like the best move is to settle with the workers.
But didn't you say the criminal case would be unlikely to affect our client?
Yes, but Rita brought some convincing arguments
that settling could help speed up resolving the case,
to the benefit of the client and the festival's image, right?
- Yes. - Okay.
Email me the summary. I'll check it on my cell.
- Bye. - Will do.
Let's review the whole text.
[Rita] Okay.
[chuckles]
Think he'll become an artist too?
[both chuckle]
You used to make music about everything at the corner store.
Dad didn't like it, right?
It wasn't that, son. He was just worried about your future.
Your father… started from the bottom.
He started working very young.
His whole life was work.
Until he opened the store.
He didn't know anything about music.
Your father wanted you to follow in his footsteps,
to be on a clear path to a good future.
You know what he always said, right?
"Respect is work."
Yes. [chuckles]
That's what he was taught, right?
But respect is respect.
Look at you, son.
You're a respected artist.
Now, a businessman.
It's such a shame he's not here anymore.
Your father was everything to me.
And he always will be.
But wherever he is,
he's so proud of what you've achieved, son.
[sighs]
Look.
Cute.
[dramatic music playing]
[man] It's a risky operation.
This is more than I usually carry.
Everything needs to go as planned.
Listen up. If I flash my torch, abort the mission, it's gone south.
We'll have to bail. Got it?
[man] Got it.
We have 30 minutes of oxygen. Set your watch, let's go.

Let's go, the ship's ready. Checkmate.
- [engine starts] - [upbeat music playing]
[woman] What brings you here, Rita?
[sighs]
I've been having…
heart palpitations.
A tightness in my chest. Like a pressure in my chest.
I feel like…
like I'm gasping for air, you know? It makes me feel…
a little frantic, when it happens.
Too many thoughts at once. I think…
it's…
a bad feeling. Like something bad is going to happen.
And I'm someone who, if there's a problem, I go and fix it.
But if I don't know what the problem is, it's hard.
We can dig deeper into this over the sessions, all right?
It's important that you're sharing all this.
[breathes deeply]
[sniffles]
[exhales]
I feel like… this has been with me for a long time.
[sighs]
I've always prepared myself as if I'm going into battle, you know?
As if every battle were my last, even though I know it's not.
But it's like I'll never truly have peace.
Like… no matter how hard I try, it seems like it's all for nothing.
[exhales]
I just want peace, you know?
I just want peace.
I always thought that, "Hey, I'm married now,"
"to someone who really loves me, who's my partner."
I'm living one of the best moments of my life.
Or at least it should be. I just graduated.
And I'm working, right? In a job that gives me stability.
But, I don't know, it's like…
there are always so many hurdles.
I don't know.
[breathes deeply]
What do you do for work?
I'm a lawyer now.
But I've done it all.
I used to be a hawker.
Black Friday! Just 15 bucks, guys!
I worked in malls.
I worked as a sales manager.
I worked at a church.
I even ran for city council once.

♪ Raised in the neighborhood She's the candidate ♪
I think I've always had this desire to change things.
Ah.
- Yeah. - And do you think you're succeeding?
I think… there's a lot to change in the world.
Listen, Rita.
I understand your need to change things.
But first, you need to take care of yourself.
This is a space where we can talk about all this.
Where we'll look for strategies and ways to bring you relief
so that you can cope with it all.
All right?
- [Rita] Thank you, Doctor. - [doctor] You're welcome.
- I'll see you out. - No need to worry.

PEDRO LAWYER
[Pedro] Rita, the festival's CEO agreed to a deal, with some conditions.
They want to resolve this matter.
Looking good, motherfucker.
- You too, bro. - [chuckles]
Damn, I've missed you!
[Nando] Did you hear Pulga got killed?
That's fucked-up.
Pulga was a real one.
He had nothing to do with this.
That bomb was meant for me, bro.
To kill me.
To kill my family, man.
Any idea who did it, man?
Beats me, bro.
I don't know if it's my past haunting me,
if someone knows I'm alive and is after my head,
or if the gang is turning against me.
I have no idea.
But I'll finish this mission. I'll run away with my family.
Bro, real talk.
You really think they'll leave you alone?
You know what I think, man?
In life, we never get to choose.
We're always running from something, never chasing anything, you know?
- What are you running from? - I don't know, bro.
Sometimes, I feel I'm not good enough.
The more I try to do things right, it just seems to get harder, man.
I try to work right, and all I get is trouble.
If it's not the cops after me, it's me in the hospital.
Thank God I have Rita.
I'm grateful for her everyday.
But that's the thing. Time goes by, and I'm still the same.
Dreaming of rockets on a bike.
[chuckles]
Funny, huh?
Dude… Listen to yourself.
- Has God abandoned me, man? - You're crazy, bro!
Oh, man. God doesn't abandon anyone, bro.
God knows everything, man.
He knows your struggle.
He knows everything you did to support Rita's dream.
But bro,
Rita's flying.
She's doing her thing.
What do you want?
Someone to push you out of the tree so you'll fly too?
Get out of this life, bro.
Find your own way.
We're hustlers. We're from the hood.
You left the game, but it's your grind now.
All right? Don't forget that, bro.
Have faith.
Thanks, bro.
At your funeral, bro…
I said a prayer.
That your soul may rest in peace.
I asked God to forgive you.
But I'm not here to judge you.
I don't know what I'd do in your place.
One last thing, bro.
Real talk.
Your past will always haunt you.
But it doesn't have to haunt your family forever.
[tender music playing]
- Will you give this to Rita? - Of course, bro.
[rap music continues]
I love you, man.
I love you too.

Check it out. This is for your kids. To remind them where they're from.
And to wish you guys a safe trip.
Thanks, bro. We appreciate it.
I've got another gift for you.
- Come with me? - My car's outside.
No, you're coming in my car.
I've got some family stuff to sort out.
Sort it out later, Nando.
Now, you're coming with me.
[uneasy music playing]
[uneasy music continues]
I never liked this gringo son of a bitch!
Our Bolivian supplier told me something, Nando.
This gringo,
this slick-talking son of a bitch,
always going yadda, yadda, yadda!
This slimy soul with his foreign tongue,
he had an even crazier plan, Nando.
Right? Bold.
No, not bold. Dumb.
He wanted to kill you, Nando.
To show our operation wasn't secure and take over everything himself.
I'm sorry about your friend, Nando.
But now, I don't act alone.
It's an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
This is my gift to you.
That bastard wanted to kill your family.
He wanted to kill your kids.
[yells]
[shells clanking]
[pensive music playing]
Now, Nando, we need you more than ever, bro.
Go to Bulgaria.
The guys there already know about this scum.
Go and close the deal for us.
The boss appreciates it.
I have strong evidence that SPLand is actively involved
in the irregular hiring of people.
The proposal offers a win-win outcome for both parties.
I don't think a "win-win outcome" is possible in a situation like this.
[Rita] You're right.
We can't imagine the anguish and suffering of the workers.
This isn't a favor, William. This is an apology.
An apology for being unaware and for letting this happen again.
An apology, Rita?
Can I be honest with you?
Apologies in a situation like this mean absolutely nothing
if you'll do it again next year.
No. Our proposal will ensure that this never happens again.
The statements to be released, the compensation for the workers…
If this happens again next year, the consequences will be far worse.
The company also agreed to sign a Conduct Adjustment Agreement.
It's not enough.
The company will invest in PR and push the industry to vet contractors.
This won't be an isolated case, William. This will be an example for everyone.
So, William, do we have a deal?
[William] Okay.
We have a deal.
[soft music playing]
- Well done on your first success! - Thanks for the teamwork.
- Congratulations to us. - Exactly.
- How about a drink to celebrate? - I'm in.
I'd love to, but I have somewhere to be tonight.

- Oh my God! - [Bruna] No goal!
- [Scheyla] It hit the post? - [Enzo] Yeah.
[Scheyla] It didn't count then. Go again.
It hit the post, but I'll get this one. Oh, almost!
- [Enzo] Daddy… - [Scheyla] Does Daddy want to try?
All right.
[Scheyla] Come on, then.
Here. Come on, let's cheer.
- I want to see it go in now! - [Enzo] One, two, three, go!
- Goal! - Goal!
It hit Daddy's leg, son!

Just let me baptize the kid.
- Deal. Thanks. - Go on.

It's time.
That's it.
- He's coming. - Breathe.
[Alice continues groaning]
Easy.
I think he's coming. It hurts!
- Feel your body. - [nurse 2] Relax.
He's…
- [nurse 1] We're almost there. - Breathe.
I've got you.
[soft music continues]
- Ooh! - [nurse 2] Push.
[nurse 1] Just one more.
- Is he coming? - [nurse 1] He's coming.
[nurse 2] Feel the energy.
[chuckling]
That's it!
Take a deep breath and give one last push.

[Doni] Who's here? Who could it be?
- Can we come in? - Sure.
Let's meet Grandma?
[baby cooing]
- Want to hold him? - Yes.
[Doni] His little head…
This is Francisco.
- Francisco? - [Doni] Yes.
[Rita] Congratulations, bro.
My grandson is gorgeous.
And your son is too.
Francisco.
[chuckling]
- My grandson! - Oh, Auntie.
[chuckles]
Hey, handsome!
[Nando] Did you ever feel like…
you were meant to be somewhere?
There, with the kids, I…
I felt like I was meant to be there.
You know?
I was meant to be a dad, Scheyla.
I've always tried to do my best for you.
- I know. - To protect you.
But as long as I'm around, you won't have peace.
Don't say that, love.
We've experienced so much.
So many beautiful things.
You've always been my other half.
The woman I love.
I'll understand
if you want to stay and live your life.
[sniffles]
I always thought that…
you were the ones who needed me the most.
[tender music playing]
But I'm the one who needs you guys the most.
I love you.
[sniffles]
Who'd have thought?
- Fancy restaurant. - [Rita] Yep.
I'm used to only seeing them from outside.
[both chuckle]
Thanks, babe. For giving us this.
- It's my pleasure. - We needed it.
- We deserve it. - We really do.
[both chuckle]
- I want to show you something. - Hmm?
Hang on.
Check out this bike.
[Rita] Wow, babe! So cool!
- I helped customize it. - It's gorgeous!
So cool.
Well, I haven't said anything, but…
I want to start working with this.
Starting small, taking it slow.
I know a bit about mechanics, but not much.
I'd take a mechanics course and specialize in it.
- What do you think? - Do you even need to ask?
I'm so proud of you.
That's it then.
[both chuckle]
Okay, speaking of the future, I was going to wait until the end,
but I can't resist.
- I'll show you now. - What?
I did something crazy, but good crazy.
- What is it? - I bought this for us.
- Salvador, Bahia? - [chuckles] Salvador, Bahia, baby!
- By plane? - By plane.
Oh my God, Rita.
- So? - I've never been on a plane.
Me neither!
[both chuckle]
Rita…
A new chapter for us.
[Cleyton] We made it, babe.
[gentle music playing]
We made it.
[chuckles]
[rap music playing]
[horn honks]
[rap music continues]
[music continues faintly]
Oh my God, he's so gorgeous! I'm in love. [chuckles]
You still can't tell if he looks like Mom or Dad.
He looks just like Doni.
So he's Lil' Doni.
[all chuckle]
Aren't you, son?
[Bruna] So?
What do you think?
- [Scheyla] It's beautiful. - [Bruna] Thanks.
- [Scheyla] Want more colors? - Sure.
I know you don't like talking about it,
but it makes me sad, you know?
Everyone got a second chance but him.
I know, bro.
[inhales deeply]
He left a letter with Cleyton for us to read together.
[Nando] I kept thinking about how to write this letter,
but I've started and stopped like ten times, man.
I keep trying to put into words what's in my head,
but the past, present, and future all get mixed up and confused.
So I'll just go with it.
[gentle music playing]
Today, I woke up happy.
After years in prison, I forgot a lot of things.
And worst of all,
I forgot how good it was to dream.
And today, I had a dream.
[Nando chuckles]
It might sound crazy, but…
people like us die when we stop dreaming.
[gentle music continues]
I dreamt that the world was better, that we were free,
that we had the chance to fight and achieve our dreams.
That best friends like us grew up and grew old with our loved ones.
That life's responsibilities didn't keep us apart.
That there was no danger, no death,
and no one knew what it was to miss someone.
I might not be part of that future,
but you're all here with me, okay?
Life never gave me much choice, man.
I know I made mistakes.
I gave my life to crime trying to save myself,
and ended up risking the best, most precious choice I ever made.
Having you guys as my family.
Unfortunately, I ended up becoming the cause of all my suffering.
Is life fair?
I don't know, man.
All I know is, my decisions have never been easy.
Especially when the best one is to stay away
from the only thing I really have, which is you guys.
My life's dream has always been to spend a normal day with my family,
to have Sunday lunch together,
to take my daughter to school, to soccer, to take my son to his first day of school,
to watch our kids grow up, and become friends, just like us.
I wish I could take my wife out, like any normal couple in love.
I wish I could guarantee that,
at the end of the day, my kids will have a dad,
and my wife will have a husband who will be there for everything, always.
Sleep peacefully, knowing in my heart that everyone I love is safe and well.
But it will happen, man.
I believe it.
Because it's thanks to our friendship, my family,
and everything we've built, that this life has been worth it.
You who have been with me on this journey, family,
I'll never forget you.
