- Sausage.

And I know you look gorgeous

in that pretty dress.

And I know you deserve better

than that klutz over there.

My fianc!

- Fianc?!

- Fianc.

You're wasting your time.

Look...

...what a great blend!

We'll have one kid of each color.

I'll be waiting in the car.

Were you serious?

Never been more.

What the hell is going on, Dalva?

What are you doing there?

Go on, go away, will you?

What?!

Honey, who is this?

- I'm her husband.

- Husband?

Sure. We're marrying.

- Come on, Dalva.

- Don't grab me like that!

- Stop it!

- Get out of here, go on!

- Stop it!

- What's this?

See? See that?

If he were in love with you,

he wouldn't have run off!

Jesus! Letting some guy steal his girl!

Tomorrow at 8:
00,

get your family together...

...and I'll ask for your hand.

Best thing that could

have happened to me, doctor.

Dalva gave me a family.

So you stopped stealing.

Of course not, doctor.

With her by my side, I went upmarket.

Took imported cars and

drove them to Paraguay.

With cash in my pocket,

I returned to the peace of home life.

- Any kids?

- Three with Dalva.

And one with Rosirene.

You know how it is: The devil

only tempts those close to God.

That ever happened to you?

Uncontrollable passion?

What's with the babe over there?

What do you think?

She's over there.

Don't you dance samba, miss?

What am I, a monkey jumping

around for nothing?

Looking for something to jump to?

Seems like you're the one wanting

to jump. Jump sh*t.

Look, I'll take my wife home.

Get your bikini...

...and I'll come and fetch you.

We'll spend the weekend at the beach.

- Does she know you belong to me?

- Ease up! I was going to the john.

Like hell you were. And that?

Why is that so hard, then?

Doesn't look like it's being

properly cared for.

- Watch your mouth, you black b*tch!

- Wait!

Get away from my man

or you'll be sorry!

You'll be sorry!

Hey, handsome!

So I guess the beach is off, then?

So, what happened

to the black girl?

Now, that's where I had to do

a bit of juggling, doctor.

From Monday to Thursday, Dalva.

And the rest, Rosirene.

I rented a little room for us

near the old bus station.

We had this great

love affair going, doctor.

Morning!

- Give me that!

- It's mine!

Stop, you're messing me up!

Stop!

Don't let go of me, Highness.

Don't let go!

You just can't quit this life,

can you?

I told you I'd take care of you.

I've always earned my own money.

And that guy you were with,

know who he is?

What are you doing here?

I thought it was Snow White's day.

Don't change the subject.

You know who he is?

Sure. So what?

So what?

So I told you,

do your thing if you have to...

...but don't screw friends of mine

or I'll break your neck.

Powder's your friend?

Highness, you're a nobody.

He said that when he leaves his wife

we'll move to Miami.

I'm off!

Where to?

To Miami, honey!

- Miami!

- You're taking a souvenir of mine.

No! Get off me!

Highness, get off me!

Get off!

That was rough, screwing a friend

of mine and the two making plans.

That night, I went back to the room.

And what do I see?

Jesus. Get out of here.

No way.

Get out of here right now.

I won't go.

Get out, damn it!

No way, I'm staying.

Come on, Highness, bite me.

Come on...

...bite me...

...bite me the way I like it.

Bite!

Bite, go on, bite!

Bite harder...

...harder!

Harder!

Bite harder!

It's over!

Damn it!

There, that's so you learn

not to take what's not yours.

You arsonist b*tch!

Slut!

Well, you might as well know that

this slut is expecting his child.

No!

Son of a b*tch whore!

I'll kill you!

You son of a b*tch whore!

You haven't heard

the last of this, Highness!

- You haven't heard the last of this!

- Son of a b*tch!

Come here! Come here!

Get your hands off my son!

To keep Dalva out of trouble,

I took the blame for the fire.

Only, the law was already

on my back for other stuff...

...so I got 16 years for the fire...

...reduced to 10.

- And was it worth it?

- The black chick put a spell on me.

I'm out of here!

Therefore, perfectly calmly,

we shall overcome the niggling...

...irresponsible and lying attempts

to involve the government...

So, what's up?

Letter from Franci?

Your sister mention me at all?

Of course she does, right?

Hey, Deusdete! What does

your sister say about me?

She asks if you're okay.

That's all?

What do you think?

If she knew what you've been up to,

she wouldn't even be asking that.

I think she would...

...but you think you know better.

Wasn't it you who used to say,

"If you sell it, don't use it"?

Wasn't it you?

May I?

So, what's up?

Come to settle your debt?

Hey, man, right now Ezequiel's

in a tight spot.

So he thinks to himself,

"Zico's a reasonable guy.

He'll take the surfboard

as collateral for the debt."

Then Ezequiel can have another

little rock of crack, right, man?

Wrong.

Pay what you owe!

Don't drink that, it's blood!

Sh*t!

I thought it was water.

Doctor, this guy was

sweating all night long.

I've put him on antibiotics,

but if you ask me, it's no use.

It's AIDS.

Doctor!

Who took away his oxygen?

I don't want to die.

Get me out of here, please!

That's hardly likely.

He's 213. Rape.

To us he's a patient.

I can't...

I need...

...to get somewhere safe.

- I don't want to die!

- I'm sorry, doctor.

I'm against the death penalty,

but not for rape.

If you ask me, it's just too bad.

So that's it, doctor.

Come on, old man. It's past lockdown.

Get a move on!

What is it? What are you looking at?

You think your kids

will jump over the wall?

You were asking for it this time,

weren't you?

See you in 30 days.

Doctor, we're here to make

our relationship official.

With all due respect.

You understand, doctor.

So we can be more open.

It's not the same with a rubber.

There's not much sense,

her taking the test and not you.

See? I told him, doctor,

but he's scared.

Scared of what?

- Scared of injections.

- Too Bad!

- It's not that.

- So you're scared of getting married!

Doctor, you're needed, urgently!

Doctor, you're needed, urgently!

Come on!

Down you go, come on!

It's all right now, doctor.

I blacked out, doctor.

Giving us all a fright, Zico?

It's just as well, doctor.

Maybe he'll learn what drugs do.

Tell him!

What's there to tell? Drugs kill.

- And you, who are you?

- That's Deusdete.

We grew up together.

You know, doctor...

...one day my mother

didn't come home.

I was left alone.

I waited...

...and waited...

...until he and his sister, Franci,

came and took me to live with them.

We grew up together.

Wait!

Come on, Zico!

Wait, Zico!

Zico!

Help!

Zico saved me, doctor.

That's right. I've always

looked after him, from early on.

Then you went the wrong way.

What's wrong with buying some dope

and selling it to folks who like it?

It wasn't even that much!

Another two years and I'm free.

But I've never killed anyone.

Unlike Deusdete here.
