Aruanas (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Waters - full transcript

You're late.
I'll bring the dossier tomorrow.

-Tell me what it's about.
-Risk of environmental tragedy.

People are getting sick.
KM is not what it seems.

Verônica, by what Otávio said,
the dossier is frightening.

You want us to pressure them
to approve the bill

that dissolves the reserve?

I prefer the term
"regularize".

How would you mediate
the conflict

among natives,
farmers and squatters,

when they all claim
to own the land?

Has she lost it?



Will you still think ecology
doesn't matter?

We had a miscarriage.

I just wanted
to be able to move on.

-I don't know how you do it.
-What happened to us, Natalie?

-We can't see each other.
-I brought this back.

I can't stand in the way
of you and Nat. It's wrong.

I'll meet Otávio
to get the dossier.

The journalist was going
to deliver the material today

to the environmentalist,
Luiza Laes.

She's part
of the Aruana NGO.

Our contact was killed
and put in my car trunk!

We'll all go there.
Clara can come with us.

What can I do to help?

-Observe.
-Don't screw up.



What happened to you?

The same as will happen
to a lot of people,

if nobody does anything.

-This town is rotten!
-So what do we do now?

Now it's war.

We'll move to Cari.

CARI, AMAZONAS

It's not the first time
you go through this.

No.

Thank you.

You start, Falcão.

KM employs 1,200 people.

This times five, the average number
of family members,

is a total of 6,000 people
on their side.

So we need to earn
everyone's trust,

but we can't trust anyone.

The answer is in the dossier
Otávio had for Luiza.

That's why he died.

But the informer
who created the dossier

is still alive.

I'll get this guy
to come to us.

How?

I have thousands of spectators
and a scared informer.

If my show talks badly
about the mining companies,

he'll understand
we're setting things up.

The public won't get it,
but he'll see he's not alone.

-Exactly.
-I don't agree.

-Why not?
-I think it's hasty.

-But it's not an accusation.
-We can't lose credibility.

It's not an accusation.
It's narrative control.

We can either tell this
from our perspective,

or they'll tell it
from theirs.

What do you prefer?

I'll talk
to the journalist's widow.

And I'll talk to Mr. Antônio.
There's no harm in trying.

Who's coming with me?

I'll go.

Vê.

What's wrong?

What's going on?
You're acting weird with me.

It's not you.

It's not you. It'll go away.

I'm here if you need me.

Can I tell you something?

If you give the message live,
be careful.

Don't expose yourself.

Don't worry.

-Good luck.
-Thanks.

Getting the flash drive
with the dossier

is far from enough.

By the content,
it's clear it's someone at KM.

Don't worry, Miguel.

I've almost got this
figured out.

No, Nelson.

The right answer is,
"It's almost done."

Hi!

Hi, Gabi! Are you playing?

What's in this?

Can you find the bastard
who created this?

I'll have to look.

How long does it take?

It depends.

It's not an easy decision,
I know.

Especially
because it's a clinical trial.

It's invasive, slow
and has no guarantees,

but it can improve
her motor function.

Would you do it
if it were your daughter?

Miguel, do you want to talk

to families who benefited
from this treatment?

I know, Miguel.

We'd do anything
to make her better.

I know.

Hi, sweetie!

Hi, Mom! Look at my belt.
It's white, but...

Hold on just a second,
sweetie.

Luiza, we'll miss
the visiting hours.

Go on, son, tell me again.

Mom, you're coming
to my belt exam, right?

Baby, of course.
I won't miss your belt exam.

-But are you a yellow belt?
-No, I'm a white belt.

The washing machine
turned it yellow.

The next one is grey.

I need to ask you something.

Did he tell you
about his investigation?

No. Never.

But did you notice
if he was acting strange

these last days?

Of course.

He was always nervous,
scared.

The phone again, Otávio?

He was always on the phone
with someone,

speaking low.

Hello.

Yes. Of course.

Okay.

Then he asked me to grab Tom
and pack our things.

We might need to leave,
Rosa.

And go where?

Don't ask anything.

Get Tom and pack.
Get everything ready.

Hurry. C'mon.

But he changed his mind later
and said he had found a way.

He thought I should know
the least possible.

Can I take a picture?

Yes.

You can trust me.

I'll find out
who killed your husband.

The police said
the same thing.

I'm not the police.

I'll give you my card.

If you remember anything,

you can call me.

However late.

Come on.

Hi. How are you?

Can I help you?

We came to talk
to Mr. Antônio.

I'm sorry.

-We missed the visiting hours?
-I'll be quick.

Mr. Antônio passed away
last night.

What?

I don't have anything
to say.

It was very sudden.

Okay.

Can you give us
his family address?

-So we can visit them.
-Good one.

I can't give you
that information.

But leave yours. I'll give it
to Antônio's brother.

Alright.

Thank you!

Adriano Couto is the specialist
I want to interview.

I need a study with all
the gold prospecting chain

since Brazil was discovered.

-Does Sheik know about this?
-I need the pros and cons.

I want everything.

Call Azeredo Nunes
and cancel.

Nat, I'm glad you're here!

Azeredo Nunes is confirmed
to talk about morality,

what's moral and immoral.

I told you,
this guy is obvious.

If he was,
the world wouldn't be like this.

Don't try to convince me.
It's just more of the same.

Nat, goddammit,
stop dismissing people.

Everything has been approved
at the meeting.

Unless you have someone better
in mind.

Do you?

No.

But I'll find someone.

CARI, AMAZONAS

You're tired, aren't you?

Go home, ma'am.

Take a shower.
Try to sleep.

You'll feel more relaxed.

Trust me.

We're doing our best
to find Otávio's killer.

I know we don't have
many resources,

but we're giving it
our best.

Everyone here liked him.

While the car trunk of one
of the most important

and respected activists
in Brazil is stained in blood,

I won't leave you alone.

Post it.

"Cari Police is slow in search
for Otávio Mendes's killer."

Children and murder
in the same post

will get tons of views.

So?
Did Mr. Antônio say anything?

He died?

Or was killed.

Damn it...

I'll ask for an autopsy.

-Look at what we got.
-What?

The information of every patient
at the hospital

in the last 2 years.

How did you get this?

Did you know people here
could die because we have this?

Relax.

I'll just make copies
of these documents

and give them back.

It's all good.

Can I be arrested
in this process? Yes.

But you're a lawyer, right?

Handle it.

And don't get arrested.

Good one...

-Look...
-I didn't know she...

I have a job for you.

Find every patient
with Mr. Antônio's symptoms...

This architect is a genius.

By the way, next week we have
the bathroom renovation.

-This bathroom is all wrong.
-Negative. Our house is great.

But there's no ventilation.

We need a skylight
or a better exhaust fan.

Nat, we've already had
five renovations here.

Do you know how much
our neighbors hate us?

There's always
something wrong.

Since I'm the architect,

we don't need Freud
to understand

that what you want
to renovate is me.

Thanks, sheriff!

Tell him to arrest anyone,
Nelson.

Handle it.

Miguel Kiriakos.

Olga.

-Olga Ribeiro.
-Nice to meet you.

May I?

This one.

Eurico insists
that I need your services.

He's right.

I know the right people.

And especially
the ways of negotiating.

The wishes
of everyone in Congress.

No.

Their weaknesses.

The black market operates
with vulnerability.

And you're the weapon.

Not the type
you usually use.

I'm confused.

When you have a problem,

how do you solve it?

By being reasonable.

Of course.

CARI, AMAZONAS

Freeze!

You're under arrest
for the murder of Otávio Mendes.

So, Olga...

How do you want to arrange
the next steps?

This is my share.

For 20 years of work?

If I can't get the bill
in 30 days,

you won't pay me.

Is this a game?

I've never lost.

If I can get it in less time,
we'll renegotiate.

Should I take you home?

Thank you, but I drove here.

POLICE

Mosquito,

you're accused
of many things.

Trespassing, larceny...

It's nothing major,
but if we add them up,

you could get
around 6 years in jail.

They didn't arrest you before
because prison was full.

Why are they
arresting me now?

Was there a massacre
and a room is vacated?

Because I have a proposal.

Did you need to arrest me
to tell me?

Relax.
It'll be good for everyone.

For me, for you,
for your mother...

Your mother owes rent money,
right?

And let God's strength

accompany Antônio's family.

And that you,
Cícero Queiroz,

are able to celebrate
the good times

you had with your brother.

Thank you, Father.

-Amen.
-Amen.

I'd like to call the director
of institutional relations at KM

to say a few words.

Memorize everyone's faces.

Antônio was a restless
employee,

an example of dedication
and honesty.

Go inside the house.

I'll cover you.

...our solidarity and support
to all his friends and family.

You will really be missed.

I heard you arrested
Otávio's killer.

-Exactly.
-I want to talk to him.

Based on what?

Now that you're an activist,
have you forgetten the laws?

You chose an easy way out.

You arrested someone
with a criminal past.

Mosquito's lawyer
was already here today.

If you're not Cari's new DA,

please, ma'am,

only come back here
if you have a reason.

-Was I clear?
-Crystal.

-Cícero?
-Yes.

My condolences.
We were Antônio's friends.

Luiza.

Clara Ferreira.

What a shame...

It's so sad
when it's this sudden...

-He knew it would be like this.
-Like this how?

Would you like some coffee?

-Cícero.
-Thank you.

Luiza.

Luiza!

-Luiza...
-Stop it.

Luiza...

Risk of environmental tragedy,
Luiza.

KM is not what it seems.

Well, you'll never
run out of water.

It's the water
we take to work.

Is there something wrong
with KM's water?

How did you meet my brother?

-At church.
-At the hospital.

-I met him...
-I think you better leave.

-Please.
-I'm sorry.

-Please.
-My condolences.

Please.

It's good.

You can't leave me in the dark.
It's disrespectful, Nat.

You don't know
Adriano Couto?

Of course I know him.
I meant your story.

-Excuse me.
-It's him. Adriano!

This is Sheik,
the show director.

Adriano Couto.

-Nice to meet you.
-It's an honor.

-Thanks for inviting me.
-Thanks for coming.

-I'll show you the studio, sir.
-Excuse me.

-Let's go, Sheik?
-Yes.

Excuse us, Nat.

Nat, I think it's the water.

I'll collect samples in Cari
and at KM.

I think they're contaminating
the water.

That's it. I'll invade KM.
Kisses.

Tell Verônica.

We need a risk assessment.

Okay.

-What will we do now?
-Now you'll be quiet.

We're invading KM to find out
why an employee

has a stash
of bottled water at home.

What about
Verônica's risk assessment?

Clara, c'mon!

What don't you understand
about being quiet?

This assessment takes 5 days.
We don't even have one.

Adriano, after all,

why does gold affect
our imagination so much?

Gold is the perfect metal.

It's the symbol of wealth
and light.

Even in 4000 BC,

gold was already adored
by the Sumerians.

Here, in Latin America,
before the Spanish,

the Inca people used gold
to sculpt sexual acts.

We're talking
about Latin America...

Sheik, check this out.

It's going well.
Good ratings.

In Brazil,

is it correct to say that gold
can be a cause of deforestation

and water contamination?

Look...

All prospecting causes
deforestation of an area.

It's not a pretty scene.

Water contamination can happen

if the resources
in the process

aren't used according to
regulations.

There are serious cases.

And in these cases
you call serious,

who does the inspections?

Whose obligation is this?

Where is she going
with this?

Government entities, of course.

If this supervision
doesn't exist,

can the river water
near mining companies

be contaminated?

In theory, yes.

But, as I said, it depends
on the established conditions.

So, in theory, people who live
near large mining companies

like KM, MineRio, Scarpa,
RGBA...

For God's sake, Nat!
Damn it!

...can be at risk?
They need to be aware.

What I want to say is...

that I don't know
of any irregularities.

Of course.

But we must be vigilant,
right?

If you want to share
your experience, write to us.

If you've already written,
keep writing.

We'll always be
by your side.

-Should we cut?
-No, no...

She gave the message
she wanted.

But, Adriano, I'd like
to go back to where we started.

Where did your wish to...?

-She does whatever she wants!
-What are you saying?

You use the station
to promote...

That's not what happened!

-It was a hypothesis.
-Do you see? She denies it.

Nat.

I have a lot of respect
for you.

As a journalist
and an environmentalist.

But today...

KM's lawyers asked me
for a retraction.

Can you handle it, Sheik,
please?

See? You spill, I clean.

It's in the journalism's DNA
to hit a nerve to help people,

or isn't this our job?

Evandro, excuse me.
I won't stay here for this.

Nat.

The world needs activists
like you.

But you have to admit that today
you went over the line.

So? Do you know him?

He's a crook.

What do you mean?
Is he dangerous?

He was arrested last night.
For murder.

Would he do that?

This guy was always here.

He ate and didn't pay.

He always says there are
mosquitoes in his food.

Like his nickname.

I stopped complaining.
It amused me.

How is Mosquito's behavior
at work?

That boy, Mosquito?

He looked like a crook.

But he spent hours here
looking after the birds.

He's incapable
of hurting anyone.

Want to see?

Hello.

Ms. Laura?

Ms. Laura?

Hi, Ms. Laura, how are you?
My name is André.

We're here to help you.

-I heard your son was arrested.
-Go away.

I'll pray for you.

Ms. Laura,
nice to meet you.

My name is Verônica Muniz.
I'm your son's lawyer.

That killer
has a pact with the Devil.

We know your son
didn't do anything.

Give this to Clovis.

I don't want
any dirty money.

PROSECUTION, CARI

Good afternoon.

I came here to talk
about Clovis Melo's arrest.

The man is innocent.

He's clearly
a scapegoat.

And who are you?
His relative?

I didn't introduce myself.
My name is Verônica Muniz.

I'm a lawyer.
Here's my card.

I'm here because the deceased
was found in my friend's car.

You're
from that radical NGO.

No. I'm from Aruana.

Take me to his first visit
and I'll prove I'm right.

Okay.

Let's see.

He's an admitted culprit.

Yes.
He's an admitted culprit.

You have a lot of work.

I have free time.
Do you want some help?

Why exactly
would I trust you,

Verônica Muniz?

I don't know.

Maybe I have
some experience.

Look me up online.

VERÔNICA MUNIZ POINTS TO CRUELTY
IN CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT 96/2017

I went too far. I can't lose
Evandro's protection.

C'mon...
You're an award-winning journalist.

This won't take you down.

I don't know.
It's like I'm...

spinning out of control.

Nat...

You know that our house
doesn't need renovations, right?

There's a room in it
that needs to be transformed.

What are you talking about?

No... I mean...

Do your friends know you insist
on keeping it intact?

You're really talking
about that?

I was talking about my work.

-I'm...
-No...

-I'm going to the restroom.
-Wait. Please.

You had...
We had a miscarriage.

One year ago,
we buried an angel.

And I didn't know
such a deep pain existed.

But life goes on, Nat.

...near large
mining companies,

like KM, MineRio, Scarpa,
RGBA,

can be at risk?

Millions of unemployed,

and this woman is chasing
companies that help the country.

It's weird
that she mentions KM.

Yes.

Someone tried to rat on us.

She's sending a message.

If you've already written,
keep writing...

There's something
I need to ask you.

What is it?

There's a treatment
for Gabi.

It's new.
There are no guarantees.

But it can help
with her motor function.

What do you think Karen would do
if she were alive?

My daughter would do anything
to see Gabi more active.

If it's for her own good,
you should do it, Miguel.

You can't be scared.

I'll come with you.

To the courage of the young.

This is how things change.

Good afternoon, Décio.

-Hi.
-How are you?

This is Verônica Muniz,

my assistant
in Clovis Melo's case.

How are you, sheriff?

May we speak to Clovis now?

Good afternoon.

I'm Rubens.

I'm the DA in your case.

You confessed

to having killed
journalist Otávio Mendes.

Right?

Here's the thing...

If it were up to me,
you'd stay here.

You confessed. It's great.

It's less work for me.

But this one thinks you
wouldn't even hurt a bird,

so I'm forced to ask questions
to wrap up your confession.

How and where
did you kill Otávio Mendes?

-You don't know?
-I need you to answer.

In the woods.

I shot him in the back.

How did the body end up
in a car trunk?

To put off the scent.
It was the first car I saw.

Do you think this is funny?

Why did you kill the
journalist Otávio Mendes?

Huh, Clovis?

Because I felt like it.

That guy was an asshole.

He owed me money.

When I went to collect it,
you know what he did?

He pissed on my bike.

-Is that enough for you?
-Yes, but...

Which hand did you use
to hold the gun?

With both hands.

-How did you open the trunk?
-With a screwdriver.

Nobody appeared?
You must have taken a while.

It was a deserted place
at night.

And where's the screwdriver?

I don't remember, babe.

The car was opened
with a cloned key.

No scratches.

Do you think
you're being smart?

You're going be okay here
and leave your mother well off.

Let me tell you something.

Your mother
doesn't want this money.

You think they'll let you live
with all you know?

In 2 months,
they'll transfer and kill you.

By then, your mother, who will
be sick and with no money,

if she's lucky to still be alive,
will die of grief.

Because her only son will have
been raped and beheaded in jail.

There are three main entrances,
two side ones,

and the sewer line,
which I hope we won't need.

-This is...
-These are...

Luiza, don't open it.

You think you're smart, right?
That you can just vanish?

Why not?

You know the longer you hide,
the angrier I get, right?

Don't open it, Luiza.

Hold on.

Luiza...

I'll find you anywhere!

-What are you afraid of?
-Nothing.

We're about to trespass
in private property

with a high level
of security.

I know.

-I'll go alone.
-No, Luiza, I'll go with you.

If you go up the slide,
you have to go down.

I know.

So don't screw up.

Mom, what are you doing here?
This isn't a place for you.

Tell your mother

why you confessed to a crime
you didn't commit.

You believed in my son
before I did.

We would become homeless, Mom.

What was that paranoia
last night?

Nothing.

-So you're paranoid?
-I'm not paranoid.

It's Ramiro,
my ex who stalks me.

But it's okay.

Let's go!

KIRIAKOS MINING COMPANY

Put this away.

I'll go to the river
and you keep watch there.

-Got it?
-Yes.

Luiza! Luiza, c'mon!

C'mon, Luiza! Let's go!

Let's go, Luiza! Let's go!

Wait!

-Run!
-Wait!

Come on!

After them! After them!

Who will scream first, who?

the scream that unleashes
in despair

the chest that breaks
in the thunder

who's going
to watch the fire, who?

the soul that dances
in the humming flame

the pores burn, devastation

who will leave their homes?

who will disappear
from the world?

untie the dead knot?

see in the dark?

sabotage the offense?

who's going to cure the cure?

is it the serum
from the crying?

who's going to ask
forgiveness?

who's going off the path?

who's changing their ways?

who's going to be the first?

who will be silent in vain?
