With this information,

our friend Henrique...

orients his clients,

creates alibis,

and prepares

his bullet-proof cases.

Come on, Henrique!

That's okay.

What's up Henrique!

How's it going?

- Well, and you?

- Cool, man, I need to talk for a second.

Go ahead I'll be right there.

But where are these two going now?

They've come to see their

biggest and only client...

...Maicon.

So who is this Maicon, anyway?

Where's Maicon in all this sh*t?

I'm here, boss...

Here I am!

- Are you all right, my friend?

- Yes.

Did you do it alright?

Did you wash your hands?

Your zipper is open.

You don't need anything else?

You want a kiss from Bola?

Let's come back.

At first sight,

Maicon is a nice criminal.

But who said there

are nice criminals?

So, anyone else want

to go to the bathroom?

Now, the pressing

question here is...

who are you again?

This is Roberto,

also known as Tanajura.

He is a policeman who works as

security for the Geush Brothers.

Roberio planned the whole

robbery at the Geush company.

Then he decided to hire Maicon's gang

to do the job.

So you're Tanajura.

You f***ing Bozo!

Nice to meet you.

We haven't had the chance

to meet in person.

- You know why we're here.

- No, I have no idea.

Well, my friend...

I delivered it

on a tray for you...

to get the Chinese woman

and her daughter.

- So, where's the money?

- There's no money.

There's something else...

she's not Chinese,

she's Japanese.

No, Maicon, she's Korean.

Shut up!

What?

She's Korean.

She's not Japanese or Chinese.

- Let's get it right...

- Shut up!

- So, she's Korean.

- I don't f***ing care!

F***, I've come all this way

to this shithole

just to settle this sh*t down!

To settle it up.

Well, brother, you must know

that everybody is onto us...

the police know...

So relax. Relax.

Get the man a beer.

Stop f***ing around!

If you've f***ed this up

and whacked the Chinese girl...

that's your problem, f*** it!

I took the risk, so now I'm leaving

without the money, you know?

You do that.

Or else I won't answer for myself!

- You have the money, right?

- Right.

So, where's our share?

I like that, Tanajura's

not f***ing around.

Hey, guys, learn with him.

He came here to solve

his problem, right?

But you came at this hour?

- You wanna solve this right now?

- What?

You have working hours now?

From eight to six?

Boss, let's make a deal...

F*** your deal! F*** your deal!

I'm not a fool,

Look, I know you...

I know you wanted to stab

me in the back, you f***ing rat!

- So, you've heard?

- Where's it, you son of a b*tch?

If there's one thing Maicon

respects, it's his mother.

And, my friend, if there's one

thing that makes him crazy...

that's when someone

calls him son of a...

What did Maicon do?

Well, we'd better back off

to get the whole picture.

Fry the fish, Bola!

F***, man!

You jumped all over me!

In the cat's mouth, boss!

Maicon had it all planned.

I'll watch the game somewhere else.

He framed Roberio.

The dude sh*t himself.

He broke the saint's head, man!

- Okay, twelve years.

- Right.

You're a cheat!

All of a sudden a magic envelope

appeared in the Prosecutor's Office.

OPEN IT:

URGENT:

Photographs, phone calls,

documents.

They delivered a busload

of evidence on a tray,

connecting Maicon to Geusch's theft,

Puhn's death, and

the police officer Roberto's murder.

This takes us back to the meeting

with Julia, Maicon and Henrique.

I was just trying

to explain to Maicon...

that the Prosecutors Office

Will come for him very hard.

- He got that, right?

- Right.

And now I want a suggestion

from you. What do I do?

In fact, Maicon,

we have lost the initiative.

The evidence is incontestable,

they will beat you up.

So now I'm f***ed.

I want some alternative.

You are right.

You must have alternatives.

My hands are tied there!

They're onto me,

I might get busted.

We've gotta find another way to get

information and plan everything.

It can't be with me.

Look, they'll have a warrant

for year arrest by next week.

You must hurry,

they might even get it this week.

Really? And what the f***

should I do?

Should I lay low,

maybe run away?

No, running away

is just like pleading guilty.

Julia knows a person

who might help you.

Yeah, I know someone.

It might work, or it might not.

The man is a state deputy.

He has contacts in the police,

in the judiciary and sh*t.

- Will he come over to the dark side?

- He's already on the dark side, baby.

The man loves money.

He has helped a lot of people.

Remember that whole

bingo halls scheme?

- Well, this is the man.

- If it weren't for him there...

wouldn't be a single

bingo hall open.

But now they're

all closed down.

Okay, they were open

for ten years.

Well, we must be quick.

So, give me a figure...

how much are you willing

to put on the table?

I don't know,

I've got no funds now.

Listen to me.

I'm your lawyer!

I told you not to open

this goddamn parking lot.

This is an investment, man!

I'm renting the upper floor

to a church.

Wait, wait.

Listen to me.

We'll try to get

a politician's help, okay?

I would say Julia has a talent

for influencing men.

- Dad.

- Hi, son.

- How are you?

- I'm fine, thanks.

- The restaurant is beautiful.

- Do you like it?

But how much are you paying

that girl...

to scare the clients away?

- The receptionist?

- The deceptionist.

- So how are things going?

- Fine. With you?

- I was robbed.

- What? Robbed?

- Did they do anything to you?

- No, no.

- Are you alright?

- Sure.

What did they take?

They took my watch,

my iPhone and 15 bucks.

It's the end of the world.

What about Walter?

What about him?

Look, son, it's okay.

I've talked to him.

I told him you were back.

There's no problem.

I think he understood.

I'm sure he has forgiven you.

He's calmer. I think you should

sit down and talk.

- Yeah, it's a good idea.

- You do that.

If he accepts you apologies,

great.

If he doesn't,

that's his problem.

The most important thing

is us, the family.

That's right, Dad.

- We've helped him enough, right?

- True.

Alright, I think I'm going.

What do you mean, you're going?

You're going nowhere.

- I'm going to have a dog...

- No, you'll have lunch with me.

- You're eating food.

- I miss the hot-dogs up there.

Hot-dogs? Don't you miss

your father?

How long were you away?

Come on!

You're having lunch with me.

I've got something special for you.

Minced meat special.

How about that?

- I hate that.

- I'm just kidding.

Afonso? Prepare

that dish I told you.

That's right.

Steak and French fries?

- That's right.

- Correct?

This is Walter.

He's a college professor.

But what is a college

professor doing...

working as the cashier

at my father's restaurant?

Well, it's quite

complicated, but...

right now I would like

to focus on a man...

who's equally important

to my plan.

This is Jader Kerteis,

the state deputy...

that Julia and Henrique
