MONICA'S LIVING ROOMCarina is disgusted to know that Carlos and Miriam are slowly crossing the red line."This can only be a joke! Carlos Roldão, the serious, conservative, traditionalist man... What is accusing Ricardo of taking my innocence, of taking me to bed... He is doing everything he accuses with the indigestible Miriam?"Célio answers: "We don't know if they have already crossed the red light, but at the police station he was already shirtless."Carina reacts by having a mental snap."Wait! She already said... She said it to me, on the day she destroyed my works! She said something about the officer not wearing underwear... Yes! She knows this detail because /"Monica covers her ears. "Oh, people, what a horror! Not even Fábio..."Célio decides to mitigate the scandal. "Carina, I think this thing about the underwear was just to provoke you. But, yes, she is slowly driving him away from the idea of
POLICE STATION / CELL - NIGHTRicardo threatens to demote Carlos from the police station if he continues his unfair detention. Tension. Carlos was leaving the cell, two steps back. He speaks confidently and provocatively: "You are not serious."Ricardo responds firmly: "I've never been so serious in my life.""It means that a criminal like you is going to convince the neighborhood to get me out of here, in fulfillment of my duty /"Ricardo cuts him off: "You're not doing your duty! You're acting out of jealousy! Unjustifiable jealousy, because Carina doesn't give a damn, not while you're with Miriam acting like a promiscuous!""Look how you talk about my girlfriend!""What kind of dating is this? Why do you insist on having this crazy girl as a girlfriend if you love Carina? Otherwise you wouldn't mind seeing her with me so much!""I'm protecting Carina from sexual predators like you!"Ricardo screams to the max: "I am not this
CASSIO'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTCássio is standing on the phone talking to Luis. Sandra is sitting on the couch waiting for him."Hello, Luis. Cássio in the area, confirming our trip.

Let's sleep that tomorrow we will have to struggle. I always wanted to say that...""Clown..."Luis laughs and hangs up. Cassio does the same. Then he turns and sits down next to Sandra."My heart is overflowing with happiness when I see you like that, responsible, running after our livelihood...""Remember, love, it's only until Célio tidies up the field. I still haven't given up on my dream of being a Brazilian champion. Until the ball comes, we'll go to the packer to pay the bills.""Who knows, love, you don't think better... You can play yo
POLICE STATION - AFTERNOONCarlos is calmer, typing on the computer. Carina enters and approaches to his desk. Carlos sees her and gets up."Carina! Honey, how are you? Sit down, please. How can I help you, my angel?"Carina sits down, but strafs Carlos with her eyes."You can start by stop calling me an angel.""Only I have that right.""What article in the Penal Code is that written in?"Carlos replies gallantly: "In the Code of Love."Carina rolls her eyes."Is Miriam also in compliance with this code?"Carlos shrugs. "Let's not talk about her. Let's talk about you. What brings you here?"Carina speaks firmly, decisively: "I came here to personally declare my complaint and accusation against the aggression I suffered at the hands of Miriam Aguiar. I want the police to properly register the police report, so that I may decide to take the case in the future. Well, I am seriously thinking about asking a rep
RICARDO'S LIVING ROOM - DAYCarina gets up, she is shaking, a purple mouth. Ricardo is passionate."Feeling sick just thinking about defending yourself?""Feeling sick at the possibility of me being arrested!""Carina, you can't leave things as they are. I would gladly pay for that loss, but now I'm going to let you learn to defend yourself."Carina shakes her head vehemently, feels that she has been punched by the Truth."No, I don't want to take any chances! Or he'll arrest me... Or he'll repeat that bullshit he wants to protect me from, calling me an angel like you do... Able to declare himself for good!"Ricardo is getting angry. "If he declares himself, say ‘no’, no round! You're there to get justice and not a lover! He's already committed to Miriam, that's it!"Carina is about to cry. Ricardo gets up and hugs her fervently."No, no, honey! Don't cry...""I can't, Cardo, I can't..."Ricardo
POLICE STATION - DAYCarlos reacts cornered when Tito asks him why he arrested Monica for no reason. The policeman dodges and tries to disguise it."Mayor... Miss Silva has caused her arrest."Tito don’t get it: "What did she do that was so serious?""She came here to discuss with me about my relationship with Miriam and how this is affecting Carina. The two are fighting and this is irritating me.""And you needed to arrest Monica for that? You just had to let her go, say you weren't going to discuss this with her. You were unfair, officer."Carlos counters with disdain: "Did you come to scold me too?"Tito stands up, frowns. After all, he is the mayor and Carlos is getting very petulant."Remember, officer, that the police station will be helped by the residents, as you have served as a model for the campaign. Now the whole neighborhood knows you. If they start to spread that you are being this untimely and authoritarian
MALTHUS SNACK BAR - DAYAnnie is at the counter making her traditional snack. Aurélio, thinking about yesterday's promise, he decides to start talking, pretending be cleaning where it’s already clean."And then, Annie... It's been a few days since I heard your complaints about Jonas.""That's a good sign, isn't it?""You mean everything is fine?"Annie smiles."Everything is great, Seu Aurélio! We are getting along more and more.""Have you visited him today?""Not yet, I'm doing my basic snack for each day. Remember what Rosa said, I have to keep the daily routine so that he doesn't think we were really doing something wrong.""That's right. And then, he stopped talking barbarics about me? Can I call him Jonas again?"Annie laughs some more."Well, Seu Aurélio, it seems that you were afraid of Jon!"Aurélio dodges."Yeah, daughter, he was really bad and upset

Monica questions.Fábio lower the music volume. Célio replies bitterly: "I'm thinking that the biggest slutty thing would happen here if it weren't for Cássio and me, we got there in time.""In fact, we came only because of the music." Cássio jokes as always."As always!" Célio, on the other hand, is not joking.Monica is also offended: "Célio, who do you take me for? Did you forget that I'm not F&aa
