It's been ages since

we came to Leite's.

Do you know anything

about these people?

What i know, Clara...

is their advertising

budget at the paper.

In advertising, honey, they're behind

only the state government,

City Hall,

and their competitors,

Pinto Engineering.

They're powerful people.

Yeah, but we know

that already, don't we?

Diego, the grandson. What do you

know about him?

Oh, him. Almost everyone knows

about him, because he's vain.

He likes being in the papers,

he's got a press agent

He's always in the paper.

Havent' you been reading the paper?

No, i don't read

the paper any more.

You are joking.

You don't read our paper anymore?

No, i don't read the paper.

So you know, this kid...

he's involved in a church.

A church?

Diego is my brother Ricardo's godson.

The architect, you know.

Diego is family.

You're being

sarcastic.

There's something else, Ricardo...

Ricardo has done several projects

for the construction company.

He's an architect, it's

only natural, Clara...

It's natural and logical.

The extension of familial ties to

friendly, social circles

Isn't it, Ronaldo?

This is so Pernambuco

This is so Brazil.

Isn't it, Ronaldo Cavalcanti?

If you're not Cavalcanti,

you are a ''CavalCan't''.

I want to ask you something...

That girl who came to

interview me. ls she family?

Ana Paula?

She's my niece.

She's with us at the newspaper.

Let's not discuss family,

because...

you're little brother's involved

in some ugly stuff, politically. You see?

Yes, Ronaldo, if they can prove all

the accusations, he's in a lot of trouble.

I am sorry.

Sorry sorry, i shouldn't

even have brought it up

How do you put up with it, huh?

I think i'm still in media

all these years, because...

a lot of people know

i know about too many things.

i've seen a lot of things

I have sifted through

too much information.

I have a feeling you're

about to help me.

Very discretely.

There are some papers

that, if they were to come to light,

not in my paper, obviously,

but, if they were

to come to light

it would be bad for them.

Now, you like it.

Alright.

Good morning

Mrs. Cleide?

That's me, Mrs. Cleide,

this is my client Clara.

Nice to meet you.

Benedito

Thanks for seeing us, Benedito.

The information i was given

is that it's in Allotment 307-D.

I may look lost because...

That's what i am.

This is paper sewage.

Unfortunately it's there,

in that mess over there.

I figured it couldn't

be that easy

You're bleeding, ma'am.

-Hello Look who's here.

-Where's Pedro?

Pedro

Where are you, Pedro?

Where's Pedro's football?

Give me Pedro's ball.

Here's the football, Pedro.

And how's your mother doing,

Pedro?

-fine, Mother.

-You're fine?

Hi, Ladjane.

Getting better,

with your help.

I was handed this envelope, downstairs.

Had to sign for it.

What does it say?

''Notice''

''absolutely prohibited to paint

the building's faade''

Did you paint the faade?

She never noticed

i had the faade painted.

Mother, i got out of the car,

Pedro, bags, in a hurry i didn't

I'll take a look now,

when i leave.

'' designated for arbitration''

Isn't Cleide your lawyer?

Yeah, she is my lawyer.

Give her a call.

This probably won't go anywhere,

but give her a call.

I gotta go.

Look, just another week and

things'll be back to normal.

No problem.

Thank you.

-Everything's gonna be fine.

-No problem.

Ms. Clara!

I don't know if you

remember us, ma'am.

I remember. You're Josimar,

from the construction company.

My name is Josimar, but i'm

not with the construction company.

We left. We don't work for the

construction company any more.

I thought i should come

here and talk to you.

All right, go ahead.

I wanted to tell you...

I really admire you,

I think you're

very decent...

...and a beautiful woman.

Josimar you're drunk.

I did have a little bit to drink

a little bit.

But i didn't drink, and what we're

trying to do here is help you, ma'am.

I know you're scared

We came to say something

for your own good.

Some three, four months ago

You were away.

You were away...

-Mm-hmm.

And they had us do a job here,

at your building.

And it wasn't just us, it was

everybody from the company.

All the workers who were

working on the building

They had us bring some material,

and we were on this crew, weren't we?

And what material

was this, Josimar?

You need to open up

the upstairs apartments.

Over in Block B, that area

where the electricity's out.

-No electricty.

-Ten. Apartment ten.

Apartments ten and

twelve.

But what exactly happened?

We've told you everything we could.

Now you go up to those apartments,

open them up, and you'll see.

Open up those apartments.

See what's in there.

-We're leaving now, OK?

-No.

What did you bring, what did

they have delivered, and where?

You're going to

tell me right now.

Tell her.

Ladjane!

Kick it, kick the ball,

there's Grandma!

Pedro

C'mon, Pedro,

let's go find Mother.

-Ms. Clara.

-Hello, Roberval.

-Thanks for coming, really.

-It's nothing. I'm here to help.

I think we should

start around here

now, there's no power.

Now, Ms. Clara, do you have some

kind of warrant, some document?

I'm Clara's lawyer;

I take full responsibility.

Well, then let's get to it.

I'm not going. I'm not

going up there. No way.

Is this the one?

Is it this one, Ms. Clara?

That's the one.

Would you all move

back a bit, please?

This will be easy.

Holy sh*t.

Ms. Clara, l think it's better

if you didn't come in here.

I'm going in.

You with me?

The termites were brought

here from some demolition.

Would you look at that

Bastards...

Holy sh*t.

This one's got more.

Yep, it's got more.

Ms. Clara, this one's even worse.

They brought a whole

colony of termites, look.

You want me to talk, or

would you rather do it yourself?

I'll speak.

Make yourselves comfortable;

they'll be with you soon.

-Good morning, good morning.

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

-Fixing to travel?

To what do we owe the honor?

-This is my brother Antonio,

-Nice to meet you, Antonio.

-my nephew Toms,

-How are you?

And this is Cleide,

friend and lawyer.

Shall we sit?

will be brief

this is about these documents

that Cleide and i found

and which may be

of interest to you.

-Can i see, Grampa?

-Where did you find these, Ms. Clara?

-I

-You Let me tell you something.

-I just wanted to say

-No, just wait a minute.

-Would you like to tell me

-You only need to know one thing

Would you like to tell me what is

the meaning of this? You know why?

Because i'm a well-mannered person,

but if i wasn't, i'd kick you out right now.

-What, over this?

-Exactly.

Take a look!

I have the originals.

Can i see, Grampa?

Ms. Clara, i wasn't even

born when this happened.

This won't go anywhere.

There are things that

don't go anywhere, but

if it causes you one single headache

when i publish these documents

I'll be happy.

Ms. Clara, i don't know if it's in your
