It's true what they are saying

that you are only a sheepskin!

-Sheepskin?

-Sheepskin!

Then tell everyone that you want to

remove the sheepskin from the syndicate.

Tell them, tell them, tell it to everybody!

Ah, you think i am your backyard,

no, Feitosa?

Backyard, no, this is my house,

understand? This is my house!

And you have to have more respect

with all this.

-Should I?

-You should.

You won't be bringing your equipment

back in here, no!

-Ah, i won't?

-No.

And with whom will be doing

the sheet around here, huh?

-With whom?

-With whom?

You want to know with whom

will i be doing the sheet?

I want!

Oh, with lula! With lula!

The fresh blood, is with me.

-That one?

-Yes, with him?

That is what you can offer?

Huh, do you have something better to offer?

-Forget, Feitosa, forget, ok?

-Very well then, you can leave!

Go, go away, go,

you are very annoying, jealous!

He ows me for 2 months.

Doesn't pay to the syndicate for 2 months.

Everything fine, lula? How are you there?

Hi.

What happened?

I was thinking

that we could take advantage...

and educate a directorate that

would explain to the workers better...

this thing about the Guarantee Fund,

you know? The benefits...

Ok, a directorate for benefits,

is that right?

Exactly!

Damn it, this will be some hard work...

True, i wrote it all down, i made a research.

Yes? Ah, then you do this...

...you can do it.

-Can I?

Guess with whom will I have dinner

today. With the governator!

The workers are united, Lula,

let's go!

-That's it!

-Then i will set this one, ok?

Ok, go.

What time is it, huh?

-Huh?

-What time is it?

It's not even 10 yet, my love.

You started coming very late.

I just want to see what will your son...

think about his father being involved

in these things with the syndicate.

Bullshit.

Everybody knows that I am

in this thing with the sheet only to...

What did you just say?

This one will be a corinthian!

Hello.

A half, please.

Let's go, Brazil

of my heart

Let's all go ahead, united, Brazil

Save the selection

Suddenly that current is

going ahead

Lu? My love, come.

Come take a rest.

Didn't the doctor send you

to take some tests?

Don't worry.

He says that this weakness

is normal during pregnancy.

But i worry about

you, you know?

I know, i know.

I will lay down.

Ok.

Let me help you.

Opa! What was it?

Listen to me, who is the doctor here?

Me or you?

Your wife will be taken to the surgical center,

Tomorrow you do the following,

you go directly to the third floor.

No, no, i will stay here with her.

No, you will not stay here with her.

She will be hospitalized.

Go home, come tomorrow and bring

the babies clothes with you.

No, for God's sake,

let us be together.

Please, please! Calm down.

Luis!

Mr. Luis lnacio da Silva?

Sir you have to be strong to

You will need to be even stronger...

because your wife died too.

My son!

Oh, my son!

Luis?

Oh, Luis, come to eat.

-And the dances, was it nice?

-I didn't go, mom.

Why, my son...

I don't have any wish to dance.

But go out to meet your friends.

It's fine, it's fine.

Mom, my head is not fine.

I know, my son, i know...

Hey, i found this in

the pocket of your pants.

Tiana says that this is

from the syndicate.

Yes, it must be the leaflet from the campaign.

-But did you get into this, Luis?

-But this is no secret for anyone.

Ah, nor it's not a spoken subject?

Look, Luis, this is dangerous!

Look, mom,

I am the candidate for director.

Oh my God, what is this about, huh?

I need to keep my head busy.

If no, i will go crazy.

That's true.

But take care not only of your head,

take care of this one here, ok?

It all happened so fast, no, Lurdes?

It was a boy, you know?

Goodbye, my love.

Sheet 1 , here, comrade...

the sheet of the champion...

the sheet of the situation here, comreade...

it's better in our hands...

in the hand of the worker, than

in the hand of the cheater, damn it!

The sheet of the champion, comrade.

Here, oh, the sheet of the champion...

Take care, huh?

we are too many to be paranoid, Ziza,

for God's sake...

You know that all your personal from your sheet

is friendly to the militars.

-What should that mean?

-Damn it, Lula, open your eyes!

Don't invent, Ziza!

This syndicate now

is my family too.

The first complete vote of the Sheet 1 .

Victory, victory, victory...

Hey, comrade!

Everything's fine? Everyhting's fine?

Speak now, president...

-And for Feitosa, nothing?

-Everything!

One more mandate!

Speak now, president...

I can see that we only have

beer drinkers here, huh!?

And did we gather here to drink

or to speak?!

People, on 12th, at 8 in the evening, ok?

there at the syndicate.

The comrade that doesn't participate

is always the last to find out...

true or not, huh, comrade?

Let's go there, to decide together,

so we won't have what to complaint about later,

Huh, comrade?

That's it, come on.

Hey, Geraldao, damn it, they

complaint that nobody participates.

But then, look at this, damn it,

what is it written?

Nothing that would say at least

something to the simple people!

Ah, Lula, you exaggerate, huh?

Damn it, they keep on complaining

that nobody participates...

in the meetings, how will they participate?

Nobody knows anything...

or i am not right, Feitosa?

No, you are not... the people are

used to reat the leaflets.

But that's the problem.

The people are used to, damn it.

And what do you want?

You want me to do a leaflet...

with comic stories?

If you want, we ca do them

with naked ladies too...

That's not funny at all!

This is a family syndicate.

Miss Margareth is here too.

This is no good!

Calm down, calm down...

Sir... could you turn off the radio?

Excuse me, i didn't understand

what did you say.

Can you turn off the radio, please?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Because of a woman?

That's it, i am never wrong...

You look like

it's because of a woman...

Yes it is.

Wife and son.

I lost them both.

Oh my God.

It's less than a year

since i lost my son.

He was killed in this taxi.

they took some change and his life.

My grandson...

is less than one year old.

Only the boy and his mom are left.

We help them, you know?

But it's so silly...

because he won't have a father.
