there he goes...

...dribbling that ball.

And Highness takes a shot!

Inmate Josu "Highness" dos Santos,

section 9302...

...come immediately to the entrance

of Pavilion 9.

Darling...

...l'll be right back.

Hi, honey!

Kiss me on the mouth!

Come on.

Oh, honey, today is not a good day.

You haven't worked a day in your life,

now you tell me you've changed?

- You have to understand...

- You've got that white trash in there.

- No way, I swear!

- Really? So let's go and take a look.

Because I think that white slut

is in there with you!

- Cut it out, honey.

- I'll show you!

Do you think I'm stupid, an idiot?

I know she's in there!

What are you looking at?

There!

I just knew you were with that whore.

Oh, so now I'm the whore, am I?

- Listen!

- Stop, stop!

Let's all sit down.

Sit down, Dalva.

Sit down, please.

Rosirene, sit down.

Rosirene, sit down.

Right, now you're here,

there's no turning back.

The three of us are going

to come to an agreement.

Rosirene, Dalva's no whore, all right?

She works at the textile factory

and raises our kids.

They're my kids, damn it!

And you too. You said Rosirene's

worthless, and that's not true either.

If it weren't for her bringing me

some decent stuff to sell in here...

...we'd all be going hungry.

If you like both of us...

...that's your problem.

- Oh, Jesus!

Yeah, Highness. You're going to have

to choose between us right now.

Damn right.

Sh*t. You're breaking my heart

in two, damn it!

Two women, doctor!

What do these crooks have

that we haven't?

- Have you kissed your wife today?

- No, why?

I rest my case.

Can I join you?

So. Nothing to tell?

You're the one who never told us

what happened that day.

That's ancient history, Zico.

You never told me

what they did to you.

When you get out of here,

promise me you'll let your hair grow?

You believe in promises?

Deusdete was right...

...you're not the Zico we used to know.

Anyone home?

What's up, Dagger?

I've got a message for a friend.

I know.

What's that look on your face?

I pretended I had AIDS

so they'd leave me alone...

...but it was no use.

The bastard who did me is infected.

Forget it, kid. He told me

to tell you he lied too.

He hasn't got AIDS either.

What is it?

Ezequiel wants to pay.

You don't owe me anything, man.

Ezequiel spoke to her

and she said yes.

I don't get it.

Ezequiel wants to pay with her.

Ezequiel's sister sleeps

with some of the guys...

...raises some cash

and pays the debt with Zico.

Ezequiel has no other possessions.

Do whatever you think is best.

I was blind.

I was blind, I believed her.

Will you ever...

...be able to trust me again?

I never stopped trusting you.

He's our family now.

- Let's sing "Happy Birthday"!

- Shall we?

Here, sit on my lap.

One, two, three.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Sir, we're in love.

Lady and I would like your blessing.

It's Dirceu.

His name is Dirceu.

Son, do you believe in him?

Mother, I've never met anyone

like Matias.

I don't get this kid.

We're too old to know what's right,

Antnio.

If it's what Dirceu wants,

what's the harm?

In here they can get up to all

the disgusting things they live.

Son.

Goodbye.

Your attention, please.

Visitors Day is almost over...

...so will family members please

go to the exit.

The gates will close in 10 minutes.

Excuse me, doctor.

This is my boy.

I know he's done wrong,

but when I think of him...

...I can't believe he took

someone's life.

I wanted to ask you to keep

an eye on Davilson for me.

I can't look after him in here.

- Come and see me at the infirmary.

- Yes, sir.

Thank you, doctor.

So can I come back next time?

If you think it's worth it.

It'll be so long before I get out.

I'm in no hurry.

Mr. Pires, his body was already

hanging here when we woke up.

This one won't be raping anyone else.

The doctor said it

should read positive.

No! Positive means you've

got it in your blood.

It has to be negative.

HIV-negative.

I'll go first.

My case is more desperate.

I'm clean!

I'm clean!

Well, you've had your fun.

You've had over 2000 men

and you're clean.

And me, as square as they come?

It's just too bad.

I'm clean too, Lady.

What's wrong?

They're letting me out, Lady.

So why aren't you happy?

And leave you here?

All alone?

I'm not alone.

I have you.

No one works for me

who can't be trusted.

You ask permission to kill,

then change your mind?

But Ebony, I'll be out in two years.

Better keep quiet and settle the score

on the outside, right?

Ezequiel...

...you owed and didn't pay.

You're alive, but you can't stay here.

Get your things and go

to the yellow wing.

As for you, Zico, you're no criminal.

You're a clown.

It's all right, doctor.

So many years locked up...

...the mind learns to control the body.

Chico, how come you're in here?

Oh, doctor, you want to hear

yet another lie?

No one in here is really guilty,

haven't you noticed?

- Much longer to go?

- I should have been out long ago.

It's in the hands of the judge.

Oh, doctor, I can't wait.

Best thing about jail is getting out.

And leave behind all your friends?

Friends?

I don't want inmates for friends.

I finish talking to you,

close the door and that's that.

In here you have to walk alone...

...or maybe with God.

What about your daughter?

What are you thinking, Chico?

I was imagining these two...

...flying up...

...higher into the sky.

It's weird.

This is weird!

Weird.

Come out, you son of a b*tch.

Come out!

What can you see?

It's trying to stab me in the eye!

Want to stab me?

Son of a b*tch!

There's no one there, man.

There's no one there.

What's wrong, man? It's me!

Jesus, brother, you're too crazy, Zico.

It's me, man!

Give me the knife.

Give me the knife.

Give me the knife.

Get a grip, Zico.

You're trying to get yourself killed?

Stop smoking, Zico.

Stop smoking, man.

I don't want that sh*t in here anymore!

So, Mr. Pires, shall I go

and fetch the old man?

No, let him be.

When I went to visit Zico, Deusdete

didn't let us do crack in there.

- That's no reason to kill!

- I was scared shitless.

- Went to bed and woke up burned.

- How dare he kill without asking us?

Mind your own business.

He was a childhood friend.

If you had a friend to advise you,

would you have done the same thing?

That's their problem.

You're wrong.

Now it's our problem.

Here she comes!

Too Bad, honey...

...do you take Lady as your true wife?

Yes.

And do you, Lady...

...take Too Bad as your husband?

I do.

Then, as the presiding queen,

I hereby declare you...

...man and wife!

Kiss!

Kiss!

- Kiss!

- First, I want to propose a toast.

To the doctor!

Because thanks to all the

medicine this gentleman...

...has taught me, I'm going out

to open my own clinic.

While I wait for you, my beauty...

...so we can start our own family.

Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!

Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!

Highness...

...can't I have some on account?
