Hi Elon!

ELON DOESN?T BELIEVE IN DEATH

Altair?

Altair? Are you listening?

What?

Is anyone still there
in sector 2?

No, I?m already closing here.

- And the bathrooms?
- I?ve locked them all already.

- And up there?
- All empty.

She?s already left.

She?s left.



- How long?
- Left.

Was she alone?

No.

So with whom?

No... She left alone.

What has she done?

Nothing at all.
She?s a friend of my wife.

Give me a cigarette, man.

No.

- Take it.
- Thanks.

I already told you
not to come here without notice.

- Need money?
- No.

Why did you come?

- Your sister...
- What happened?



- She didn?t come home.
- How come? When did you see her last?

- Today.
- Today?

This morning.

Today? Give me a break.
Just leave her alone a little.

I was supposed to get her at work,
but she wasn?t there.

Give some time to Madalena.
It?s not the first occasion this happens.

No, no. No. It's not.

Let her breathe a little. She needs
to forget everything that happened

You know.

Yours is a very strange way of loving.

It?s desperate.
It suffocates.

Jasmin?

What?

- What?s this guy doing here again?
- I?m solving a family problem.

- You have a family, slut?
- Come on...

Look, I?m going to replace
you down there.

Oh, good? No, wait!
Wait, I?m coming down now.

Hurry!

Let?s see if she answers?

This sort of thing really happens!..

?Police Patrol?,
at the front line of the news.

I was doing an interview,
when civil cops entered the place.

A man was arrested.

According to the cops,
there was a car?

Mister! Mister!

A woman without documents
was admitted this afternoon.

Just go to the third floor and look
for the head nurse,

she?II accompany you
to the identification room.

Take the elevator to your right.

- Ok, thanks.
- No problem.

First floor.

No. It?s not her, no.

Is it open? Thanks!

Hi, Rita. Can I talk to you
for a moment?

- No.
- Why?

I?m working.

- Do you know where Madalena is?
- Elon, get out!

I?m not leaving until you
tell me what?s happening. Rita!

- Age?
- 40 years...

- Skin color?
- White. I mean? A little dark.

- White...dark?
- White.

- Eyes?
- Brown.

Hair? Straight, curly?
- Straight.

- Height?
- 1,70 meters? I think.

- Weight?
- 70 kilos, I think?

- Any mark on the body? Scars? Tattoos?
- No.

So you saw your wife for the last time
yesterday, when she went to work?

- It was the day before yesterday?
- Yesterday or the day before?

Yesterday.

You said the day before yesterday, no?
Was it yesterday or the day before?

Yesterday.

Have you looked for her family?

Her sister.

- And the parents?
- She doesn?t have them.

What are you doing here?

- Do you know where Madalena is?
- I don?t know anything.

You didn?t want to talk to me
at the factory, why?

?I was working, couldn?t stop.

- Is she there?
- No.

What are you thinking?
Do you think she left you?

If only she had the courage to do it.
Excuse me!

- I?II call the police!
- She?s there! Let me in!

Go back home and wait!

You?re working as a watchman, right?

I met Rog?rio this week
and he told me.

He?s unemployed.
He was working with computers,

but now he?s unemployed again.

I?m waiting for something.

Madalena has not been here
for over a month.

She was supposed to come for Chico,

but the boy waited for the mother the
whole day, sitting there on the couch.

I called her, but she didn?t answer.
I called you too.

She had to help
my sister at the hospital.

Couldn?t she warn us?

?If she could, she would.

I should have taken a picture of
Chico?s face waiting for his mom.

- She?s crazy about her son.
- She?s crazy!

- My boy, my boy...
- Now I have to play.

- Want a sip?
- No, I stopped.

- Stopped?
- I stopped.

- Really stopped?
- I did.

- Did you become a believer?
- I did.

You went to the police,
have you talked to her sister?

Yes, I went to every possible place.

Our marriage never worked out,
we didn?t get along.

She never told me anything about that.

If she vanished,
it wouldn?t make any difference.

I mean, it would.

It would be good.

Really.

At bottom,
if she vanished it would be good.

It would be good to Chico,
it would be good for me.

If she vanished...
If you vanished...

- Sure you don?t wanna go?
- No. I want.

Wake up!
They?re looking for you down there.

So, Elon, is everything
alright with you?

It?s alright.

So, please, sit here.

Feeling bad? Are you sick?

No.

So why did you sleep at work?

It was a slight negligence

Not quite,
since it has happened before.

Why you didn?t come on Tuesday?

- Because I had some issues at home.
- And you couldn?t have called?

Were you drunk?

No.

- Are you sure?
- No is no.

You?re a loser.

Hey Sandra, get Elon?s docs.
He?s in front of me.

It?s a dismissal for cause.

What do you mean?
No, wait, I?II see that over there.

Is everything fine?

No, not at all.
Where have you been?

I?ve been around.

- What do you mean?
- I?ve been around.

Do you want me to tell you a story?

- What do I do with you, huh?
- Everything!

What?s the problem?

Want some coffee?

No.

Give me a cigarette?

Madalena?!

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- Mr. Elon...?
- That?s me.

We?ve got a search
and seizure warrant with us.

- Why?
- We got an accusation.

Can I see it?

Oh no, Madalena is back already.

May we talk to her?

Sure. Just a minute.

Madalena?!

She was here.

Sit there.

- And what about Madalena?
- She?s fine.

- Didn?t she want to come?
- No.

- Why?
- ?Cause...

We missed each other.

- Hmmm, was she coming?
- Yes. Maybe she was.

Do you want me to call her,
tell her you?re here?

No, no. She?s not at home.

- I?II call her mobile.
- Her mobile is at home.

- Couldn?t be she got back home?
- Certainly not.

- I?II call her.
- No!

- Why?
- ?Cause she doesn?t want to talk to you.

No, leave it, I?II wash it...

You waste too much water
to wash one glass...

- Take it.
- What?s this?

Open.

- Do you like it?
- No.

Why?

Why do you waste money
on those things?

Why do I...?

Why do I waste my??

Elon?

What?s going on with you?

You?re not like that.

It seems that I?m living
in a nightmare, Gra?a.

You couldn?t understand.

Won?t answer?

Hello? Hi?

Yes, him.

From where?

Huh, now?

I can, I can.

Ok, ok... Ok, alright.

It?s allowed smoking here, right.

You can?t get out now.
You?ve got to wait.

I don?t understand what?s going on.

I?m the one who doesn?t understand
what?s going on, Mr. Elon.

You come here, makes a police report
telling your wife is missing,

messes up yesterday with
the day before yesterday.

And now you wife?s sister, Ms. Jasmin,

denounces you
for breaking into her house.

What were you doing there?

I?m asking you, why did you
break into her house?

Mr. Elon?

I thought Madalena was there.

So you confess
breaking into her house?!

No.

- Do you work?
- Yes.

- Where?
- I'm a guard.

- And is everything fine at work?
- Yes.

- Is it really?
- Yes.

You got fired.

Why are you lying, Mr. Elon?

You are lying.

Of course not!

So why did you lie to the police officer
that went to your home

- telling you wife was there?
- She was there.

Was your wife at home, Mr. Elon?
They got there and there was nobody.

Why did you say your wife
was at home, Mr. Elon?

Do you have anything to say, Mr. Elon?

So Mr. Elon, this is the thing:

a body was found today
and it has you wife?s features.

Skin color: white.
Hair: straight, dark-brown.

Height: 1.78m exactly.
Weight: 65 Kgs.

The body doesn?t have
any birthmarks, scars or tattoos.

It has multiple swellings
and ecchymosis.

It was found in a vacant lot
in Cidade Industrial.

The body is a bit trampled.

Can I proceed with details?

Here is the body, see.

It?s not her.
