The Business (2013–2018): Season 3, Episode 1 - Chief Executive Officer - full transcript
PREVIOUSLY...
My plan might interest you.
- Business is brisk today. How come?
- Marketing.
The world's oldest profession
shouldn't be the most backward.
Oceano Azul.
Isn't it a great name
for our business?
It will look great
on the office wall.
We need a new strategy,
become a luxury item.
Bottled water costs 70 reais.
How much is sex worth?
Who are you, you slut?
We work so hard for 15,000
and she imitates us for 1,500.
This is pure piracy.
Take my advice.
It's better to settle.
This settlement has an issue.
It doesn't exist.
Are you crazy, Karin?
You're suing her?
Yes.
With all due respect, Sir,
everything is a hustle.
Welcome back to our trademark
and our names.
If he doesn't care
how you make a living
going out with other guys,
he doesn't love you.
But if he cares,
he'll try to save you.
-Are you dating?
-Any problem?
I won't stop working to please anyone.
I'll stop when I decide so.
And nobody's
deciding that for me.
-I can't take it anymore.
-I quit.
For years, my parents thought
I worked at a consulting firm.
That my life was
as conventional as theirs.
But what I really wanted
was to do one great job,
that would last for the rest of my life
marrying a millionaire.
-Hey, you've got nothing?
-Nothing.
I'm such a loser. My heists
take months to plan but they all fail.
-What's that?
-The keys to my condo!
I like living alone,
not having to answer to anyone.
You are the hottest woman
I ever laid eyes on.
-What time do I pick you up?
-Scram.
Zanini's like a bathrobe. He might be
cute but I can't go out with him.
I love you, Zanini.
Kiss me, you monster.
-Let's play pimp style?
-Here's 500.
Here's your and I'm throwing in Gisele.
You've gone further than
any other escort. I respect that.
Greta told me all about the club.
It's a great business, right? I want in.
With this kind of service
and top quality
this club
will be a huge success.
I heard of the Oceano Azul's
seal of quality.
How about an Oceano Azul
brand of wine?
What do you think of
Oceano Azul going public?
O NEGOCIO
Season III
Episode 1
Karin organized Oceano Azul
to secure her own retirement.
But after it went public,
Oceano Azul started securing
many other people's retirement.
Our pension plan portfolio
is very diverse.
Apart from our real estate investments,
we've also invested in the stock market.
But only in first-class firms.
Take a look.
This is the best investment
for your future.
For most consumers, Oceano Azul
was just a top quality brand name.
They had no idea that Oceano Azul,
offered much, much more.
Do you like our new club?
It might not be Versailles, but here
you can go crazy and enjoy it too.
And so,
many stock exchange investors,
became, without knowing,
partners of a cathouse.
Once, Karin used what she learned
in the business world,
to make money from prostitution.
Now, she used what she learned
in prostitution,
to make money
in the business world.
I swear he flew in from Miami
once a month.
He flew in early, we met at a hotel,
and he flew back by lunchtime.
He was back in time
for family dinner.
-No way.
-It's true. Ask Cesar.
It's true. How do you do it?
I need to learn.
Nothing special.
No? The guy spent 14 hours in a plane,
to be with a woman
who did nothing special?
Yes.
Come on, what's your gimmick?
What's so special about you?
About me? Nothing.
In bed, Karin learned,
that products don't need to be special.
It's the client who needs to be special.
The consumer that is.
I know what I'm saying.
You could be Justice's greatest
president ever. The greatest.
Every single study indicates
that Oceano Azul's energy drink,
is considered the healthiest
and best tasting, but it's not selling.
The best in the market
and it's not selling, why?
I may have the solution. It's not
the drink that has to be special.
It's the consumer.
In no time,
it started selling like water.
You girls made us burn up energy.
Now you replenish it, cool.
You're so silly, Oscar.
-Ready for Millionaire's Night?
-An idea of his.
Did I tell you
I have the perfect heist?
-Really?
-I'll be even richer than you.
The idea was ripping off
a group of millionaires,
that got together once a year to play
poker, betting huge amounts of cash.
That night was called
Millionaires Night.
It's easy, get your clients
to get us a spot at the table.
We'll have minicameras
up our sleeves.
-Hold on.
-What?
-You said it was easy.
-And it is.
Minicameras up our sleeves?
Listen, we put minicameras up our
sleeves, and get the right seats.
When the croupier
deals the cards,
the cameras send the video
to a van parked outside.
-A van?
-So?
-Who's in the van?
-Who cares? Some idiot.
He has to watch the cards in
slow motion, and send me the info.
Jack of Clubs.
Ten of Clubs. He's got nothing.
Double.
I'll be the big winner
of Millionaires Night.
-Easy, right?
-What if you get caught?
It's the perfect job.
How do you know?
Is there a perfect job?
Of course not, they never know
it's a perfect job.
So nobody talks about it.
-I don't know, Oscar.
-Why not?
Why expose yourself?
You don't need the cash.
I make more than enough
for both of us.
Luna, I might be a born gigolo,
but not to the woman I love.
I did everything I could
to make him see the danger.
But I wasted my time.
-Ready?
-Yes.
So off we went
to Millionaires Night.
Bet.
Double.
What Oscar didn't know was that his
perfect heist, was really my doing.
I hired a group of actors,
to play the part of the millionaires.
And rented a house
to host the charade.
At the end of the evening,
Oscar won his million,
without knowing
the money was really mine.
I am a genius, Luna. A genius.
All I cared about
was making my man feel good.
And all Magali cared about, was making
sure her man didn't get in her way.
- You got the rules, Zanini?
- Yes, no anniversaries...
No calling to say we got home safely,
and no seeing each other every day.
And never ever ask
what we're thinking.
Fine, never ask
what we're thinking.
-Is it a deal?
-Deal.
-You won't regret it?
-No.
-You're sure?
-Totally.
Okay, then. Let's toast to that.
To us as a couple.
He thought he'd change things
little by little.
He managed to take her hand
after three months.
And it took him six months
to meet her mom. On Skype.
- It's a pleasure to meet you.
- The pleasure is mine. Zanini, right?
- With two N's. But one I in between.
- What?
N-I-N, not two N's
one after the other, okay?
Magali, what is he
talking about?
Mom, we just called to say hi.
We'll talk later. Bye.
And it took her nine months
to let Zanini sleep in her bed.
Where's my toothbrush?
I left it here.
It was yours?
Sorry, I threw it away.
Zanini was more determined
than the Japanese guy,
who was lost in a forest
for 17 years, trying to get home.
With Karin's idea's success,
Oceano Azul grew even more.
So much that a big company
took notice.
And that big company made an offer
to buy it. An irresistible offer.
They offered a lot of money
and Karin would be the CEO.
Their only demand was that
the club would become a spa.
What's wrong with sex?
It's just a product.
We agree with you.
But not everybody else does.
Some people are biased,
and we'd be in trouble
if the club gets any press,
and people associate
the brand with prostitution.
With the club, Oceano Azul got as far
as it could. It reached it's limit.
But if we shut down the club,
we can expand to other areas.
And go even further.
That bias against prostitution
is absurd.
The world is like that, Karin.
You can't change the world.
- You can't change the world, Karin.
- You know what you can do?
Change our bank accounts.
Yes, Karin.
It's time to sell the company.
And retire,
because when old people retire,
people think
"you're going to die".
But if a young guy like me retires,
people say: "That guy's going to live."
And that's what I'll do. Live.
-Living is a good idea.
-It always is.
Oceano Azul was sold.
Karin stayed on
as a shareholder and CEO.
Magali, Ariel and I
left the company.
And the club became a spa.
Oceano Azul started making
other products, for new markets.
A few months later,
the company that bought Oceano Azul,
was bought by an even larger company,
the Carpeaux Company.
Carpeaux owned dozens
of other companies.
The owner of Carpeaux
was Carpeaux.
Excuse me.
The reports you asked me for.
-Is everything okay?
-Yes, I'm fine.
Carpeaux had made us
a ton of money.
I'll be back.
It was time Oceano Azul
made him some money.
Oceano Azul moved
to Carpeaux's headquarters.
And eventually,
Karin deserted Karin,
just like she deserted
Joana in the past.
Remember how we started, Sonia?
In that little room at Faria Lima?
I always went to the after-hour parties.
Now, I'm on this side.
Did you think
we'd come this far?
Far? I know you.
You're not even half way there.
I'm leaving. I'm tired.
I have to be up early.
-Sleep well. See you tomorrow.
-Thanks.
Please.
That's fine, thanks.
-You must be Joana.
-Yes.
-Isabela, Diego's wife.
-A pleasure to meet you.
The pleasure is mine.
Like working here?
Yes, but I'm still adapting.
Come, I'll introduce you
to the wives' league.
Diego was Carpeaux's CFO.
Karin wasn't just on that side,
she got closer to the executives
and their wives.
Hello. Could I have your attention
for a moment?
Good evening. Thanks for being here.
Being the owner of the company,
I could sing "Champagne"
and you'd applaud me.
But since I'm a nice guy,
I'll just tell you a story I read.
He told the story
of the wise old Chinaman,
who was hired by a duke to find
the kingdom's finest horses.
All I know is,
the wise old man retired,
and recommended a humble firewood,
and produce man to replace him.
He showed up with a black stallion,
claiming it was a bay mare.
The duke was furious
and complained to the old man.
The old man opened his eyes
and said:
"So, he's that good, is he?
"He is so capable of recognizing
one's internal qualities,
that he can no longer see
our external characteristics?
He has surpassed me.
He's much better than I ever was."
In fact, it didn't take him long
to prove that the horse,
was really
an extraordinary horse.
Each and every one of you
is an extraordinary horse.
And me? I'm just a guy that sells
firewood and produce.
Thank you.
Now enjoy your party. Thank you.
I'd rather hear him singing.
-Luna! Luna!
-Yes?
You hear that?
- It's good luck knocking on our door.
- Another scam, Oscar?
That Millionaires Night
is for losers, idiots.
Guess how much some guys
bet in one evening?
- Five million, Luna.
- Right, All Fools Night.
Guess what?
They invited me to play with them.
- What?
- I used my influence to get us invited.
- No, Oscar. That's a lot of money.
- A lot of money we'll win.
You know I can't fail.
I play to win.
Listen.
It's good luck.
Magali!
Do you know if Magali went out?
She won't open the door
and I can't reach her.
- Yes, she went out.
- But when? We were meeting here.
A while ago.
Don't you have the key?
I do. But I lost the key.
Sorry, I lost track
of the time at the mall.
Don't be like that. Do something better
than being mad at me.
Have fun with me.
So they had sex for fun
like in the mirror scene,
in "The Unbearable
Lightness of Being."
Then they danced
like in a Godard movie.
-All our friends are here.
-Look who's here.
The night is young and I'm
Michael Jackson. Let's have a drink.
-Sit down, playboy.
-Playboy? Are you nuts?
- Aren't you rich now? Upper class?
- I'll tell you what I've become.
I've become myself, because you
become yourself when you're rich.
When you're poor,
you're someone else.
Fine, Ariel, go be yourself
with your Polo shirt.
And put some gel in your hair
to be even more you.
-You're so funny.
-Cool it. What are you drinking?
What do playboys drink?
Vodka and an energy drink?
-A shot of tequila?
-Only the good stuff.
Go to hell.
Romero, get me a beer.
-Guess what I feel like doing.
-What?
- Playing pimp style at the cathouse.
- I'll join you if you quit the crap.
- You need a woman to bet pimp style.
- You guys can loan me one.
You will, right?
I'll pay you if I lose.
-You can't loan women.
-And how do I play?
Let's go?
Waiter, put it on our tab.
Tell me when you organize
the meeting, okay?
Okay. Anything else?
Yes, your workload
has increased a lot, right?
- Yes, a lot.
- How about hiring a PA?
-That would be great.
-Anyone in mind?
Actually, yes.
My niece is so smart.
But she still doesn't know
what career she wants.
I'd like to give her
an opportunity.
She'll work with you, Sonia.
It's your call.
Thanks.
That's Diego.
Could you get us some coffee?
Sure.
Hi.
- Did you get my numbers?
- Yes, let me open this. Have a seat.
- Isabela likes you a lot.
- Really? I like her too.
She asked me to invite you.
You know the Haras dos Ingleses?
Only by name.
We have a house there
and tomorrow, Isabela's having a
luncheon for the people you met.
She wants you to come.
Can you?
-Sure, I'd love to.
-I'll send you the address.
Okay.
-Did you open it?
-Yes, I did.
Two days, Luna. Zanini's sleeping
at my place for two days.
He goes straight
from work.
I have no privacy.
It's like a subway station.
- He's just one person, not a crowd.
- A person that's not me.
What do I do? Won't I hurt his feelings
if I kick him out?
What do you think?
I'd hate to hurt him,
but I won't live in a subway.
- I'm desperate.
- Me too.
I encouraged Oscar so much, that now
he's risking his life playing poker.
- They'll kill him if they catch him.
- Really, Luna?
Sure, if you can bet five million
in one night, murder is nothing to you.
You need to tell him
he's not that lucky.
- But how? To admit I lied to him?
- Tell him the truth.
The truth is always the last resource.
There must be another way.
Can you believe
those scumbags, Cesar?
They're discriminating me
for being rich and honest.
I didn't want to be honest.
It just happened. So what?
I'm wasting my breath. You'll never know
what it's like to be discriminated.
Sure I do, Ariel. I'm one of the most
discriminated minorities ever.
What minority, Cesar? You're gay
and bald. You guys are everywhere.
You know what? Screw them.
From now on, I'm hanging out with
people like me. Rich, classy people.
I'm not a pimp anymore.
Now, I'm on the other side.
The next day, Karin went to meet
her new friends.
She never thought
they would get along so well.
Candles, flowers, caviar.
What else? A bottle of grappa.
-Right.
-Leave it on my desk, okay?
Thanks, baby.
- Hello.
- Hi, little monster.
-You just broke a rule.
-What rule?
Calling me at work
to say you miss me.
- It's something else.
- Like what?
Grandma wants to see me.
I have to go there.
-In the country?
-Yes.
-When are you leaving?
-Right now.
But I'm having
a candlelight dinner for us.
-Do it when I come back.
-When's that?
- I don't know. I'll call you.
- Fine, take care.
-I will. Bye, monster.
-Bye.
Hey, baby. You don't need
to buy anything, okay?
-Okay.
-Just the bottle of grappa.
Okay.
You have no kids
and no boyfriend either.
- What do you do at home?
- I work. I read.
What do you do for fun?
-I work and read.
-Really?
I hate working and reading.
The three things I hate most.
Working, reading,
and having a colposcopy.
But I have a colposcopy
every year.
That's the polo court.
This is beautiful.
You have a lovely home.
Thanks, Diego is a partner
at the construction company.
He got a good price.
Tati and Fabi moved here too.
They're so nice.
You should too, to do something
other than work and read.
Sounds tempting.
I'd introduce you to Marcelo.
He owns the best property here.
And he just got divorced.
- You're nuts. Isabela could see us.
- I miss you.
- No, let go of me.
- I can't stop.
- Why don't you go after Joana?
- What?
- I saw you flirting with her.
- Are you crazy?
Just let me know
if you find another lover.
Don't talk like that.
You know I love you.
So why do you
gawk at her like that?
-Stop this nonsense.
-You think I'm stupid?
For God's sake, Tati.
Have sex with her if you want,
but don't speak to me again.
-I don't want her, damn it.
-No?
- No, I would have her if I wanted to.
- How so?
- Never mind.
- No, tell me, how so?
She was an escort.
- I had a great time. I owe you one.
- It was a pleasure.
I insist, we'll have dinner
at my place.
-We'd love to, if you insist.
-Wonderful.
-Thanks.
-Sure.
-Bye.
-Bye.
At the end of the day,
Karin was seriously considering
buying a house there.
I love bashing other people.
But I really like Joana.
-Really?
-Why?
Guess what I heard.
One more time.
Let's see.
-I think you got it right.
-Excellent.
- What will you do with your share?
- I'm saving it.
When the club closed, I stopped
dating hookers and made plans.
What plans?
I'll save until I have a lot of money,
then give it all to a girl.
-What girl?
-I don't know yet.
One that'll date me
in exchange for my money.
For years, until I forget
I paid to date her.
-And get married?
-I think so.
-Guess what I got, Oscar.
-What?
Promise to get on your knees
and thank me?
-Yes, what?
-Two tickets to the NBA finals.
-You swear?
-Four courtside seats.
No way!
Between Spike Lee and Jack Nicholson.
Then we're partying with the players.
Unbelievable!
I got the Four Seasons
Presidential Suite for us.
I'm going to rock your world.
You just made my day.
How did you do it?
- An ex-client. Cost me a fortune.
- Show me the tickets.
The same day
as the poker game?
Really? What a shame.
You really wanted to go.
-I will. Wanna buy them, Yuri?
-No, thanks.
I'll sell them online.
What, Oscar?
I had a hard time getting them.
We're going to that party.
Eric Clapton is performing.
Mike Tyson's going. We'll see Lady Gaga
puking in the restroom.
I wouldn't miss poker
for anything.
Why? You don't need the money.
Let's have some fun.
Luna, it's the perfect heist.
Perfect timing, understand?
It's very risky to try and rob those
guys. What if they catch you?
It worked once.
It'll work again, relax.
Okay, here goes the truth.
Millionaires Night never happened.
I mean, it did happen,
but somewhere far away.
-What?
-I hired actors, and rented a house.
The cash you won was mine.
It was a total sham.
-You made that up.
-No.
-How could you?
-It was for your own good.
Making a fool of me?
At least they didn't shoot you
for cheating.
That's wrong, Luna.
Wrong!
Yuri, please make him see
I did the right thing.
-Sure, can I have some bread?
-Yes, Yuri.
I ended up telling Oscar the truth,
but Magali lied to Zanini.
She wasn't at her grandma's.
She wanted some time alone at home.
-She ruined my perfect heist.
-She thought you'd screw up.
That's why I'm mad at her.
She thinks I can't do it.
Maybe you can't.
When was your last heist?
I'll show her I can do it.
I'll win those five million.
This is the master bedroom.
And the dining room.
You can see the stables from here.
And this is your room.
-My room?
-Yes, yours and Henrique's.
- You really want to buy it?
- Yes, it's expensive, but I am.
It's nice to see you're happy.
It's kind of hard to believe,
but I think I'm finally happy.
Gross, right?
Henrique says happiness
is like listening to ABBA.
Gross, but good.
What are you serving for dinner?
I ordered an amazing buffet.
Much better than yours.
-I doubt it.
-Really? Look at the menu.
Don't insist, Diego.
I'm not going.
-Why not?
-You know.
She was an escort,
not anymore.
There's not such a thing.
She was and always will be.
Isabela, we have to go.
She's our CEO, damn it!
Have the damn risotto,
the damn champagne,
smile, say thank you and we leave.
Is that so hard to do?
That same day,
Ariel got himself invited,
to an old client's birthday party.
A wealthy aristocrat
from Săo Paulo.
Zequinha, my friend.
Ariel. How are you?
He wanted to impress them.
They were his new friends.
-Are you really going?
-I am.
- It's risky, Oscar.
- So?
If you die, we can't go
to the movies next week.
- They won't kill me.
- How do you know?
I'm not the looser you take me for,
Luna. Get that in your head.
-Can you do me a favor then?
-What?
Can I go?
Didn't you say they'll kill me
if I get caught?
- And you wanna come?
- I want to be with you.
I don't think you're a looser.
Hi, Zanini.
Fine, and you?
Grandma is fine.
We're going to the club.
I'll send her kisses.
Probably next week.
I miss you too.
I love you too. Kisses.
Karin invited Carpeaux's
top executives to her buffet.
It was like her debut
into society.
She was as excited
as in her Sweet Sixteen.
-Yes?
-Diego and Isabela for Karin.
-Good evening.
-Hello.
-I'm glad you could make it.
-Good evening.
Ariel!
Congratulations, my friend.
This is for you.
You shouldn't have bothered.
Please come right in.
Let me get you a drink.
Okay.
Sit on the croupier's right.
I'll be on the left.
Don't worry.
I always sit on this side.
It's a superstition of mine.
-A superstition?
-Yes.
I'm not helping you get lucky.
Sit somewhere else.
It's not for good luck,
just so I can play. It's an OCD thing.
-What can I do about it?
-You can sit elsewhere.
Forget it.
What a shame.
I thought you'd sit next to me.
-You want me to sit next to you?
-I'd like that.
Looks like we both got lucky.
That evening,
he missed Magali so much,
that Zanini drank
half a bottle of grappa.
When he was drunk
he had an idea.
-This is so awkward!
-Can't you try a little harder?
-Be grateful for my silence.
-Did you see her dress?
What's wrong with her dress?
Stop exaggerating.
-You saw her dress!
-Don't start, Tati.
- What? You started it.
- Let's calm down.
The champagne is great, she's very nice.
We don't need all this grief.
Do you all agree?
Niki Lauda up the butt?
-Yes. Never heard it?
-No.
He collected model cars
that he lit up to warm them.
-Then guess what he did.
-No way.
Shoved them up his ass.
No kidding. To each his own.
There's no such thing as bad pleasure.
Pleasure is pleasure, right?
-Right.
-Mine are very simple, though.
-Thank you.
-Ariel, take it easy.
Why?
Those guys worry
that you might get buzzed,
and talk about
some inappropriate things.
What inappropriate things?
Don't get upset.
We've nothing against you.
It's just that
they're with their wives.
And they feel uncomfortable.
Understand?
Just don't overdo it
and nobody's going to worry.
- I see.
- I need to mingle now.
We never take advantage
of birthday parties.
Sure.
Hold on.
Let me look again.
- Playing or not?
- Damn! It's a full house.
- Don't do it.
- I'm out.
-A pause to use the restroom?
-Good idea.
That was Zanini's idea.
MY CHARISMATIC PENIS
LOVES YOUR MAGICAL VAGINA
He knew when Magali traveled,
she gave the doorman the keys
to water her plants.
So he went there to get the key,
go inside the apartment,
and hang the welcome sign
in the living room.
- Is that your van?
- I'm the driver, sir.
License and registration.
Here you are.
Mr. Yuri, do you realize
you urinated in a public place,
and that's against the law?
I'm sorry.
Plus you're parked
in the wrong spot.
- The wrong spot?
- This is for the disabled.
I didn't see it, sorry.
I'm expecting my boss.
I'll let it go this time. But move
the vehicle and wait elsewhere.
- Yes, sir.
- Now.
Excuse me.
After all these years
I learned one thing.
If the guy's a real dummy,
he's not doing anything wrong.
Your guests are kind of quiet.
But the food is excellent.
- Thank you.-
I didn't know you smoked.
I smoke one every other year.
Listen. After they leave,
we could have a nightcap.
- How about it?
- Thanks, but I need to rest.
Joana, we have
all eternity to rest.
-You're cute, you know that?
-Excuse me. I better go.
-Good evening.
-Good evening.
I didn't bring Magali's key.
Do you have it?
No, you can go up.
She's home.
-No, she's out of town.
-No, I'm sure she's home.
-All by herself?
-Yes, go right up.
-Who is it?
-Open up, Magali.
-What are you doing here?
-No, what are you doing here?
- I can explain.
- You said you were at your grandma's.
-I know.
-Why did you lie to me?
I needed my space,
a little privacy, you know?
I can't get used
to being together all the time.
That's all.
I'm not cheating on you.
Come in.
Listen, Magali,
either give me a set of keys,
and get me a toothbrush
or it's over.
Have all the time alone
you want.
Sorry, I had problems parking.
We're fine now. Let's go.
Two cards.
Yuri finally parked the van,
but in a spot where
the communication was bad.
Don't bet, Oscar.
-And Oscar heard...
-Bet now, Oscar.
Did you hear me?
Don't do it for God's sake!
Bet now, for God's sake!
Looks like that seat
didn't change anything.
That's impossible.
There's a lot of leftovers.
We'll put it away in the kitchen, okay?
Can you believe it? She cheated on me,
but not with another guy!
You know who with?
With nobody.
She cheated on me with nothing.
She prefers nothing to my company.
I'm less than nothing to her.
It's the worst kind
of cheating, buddy.
But she'll regret it,
you'll see.
She'll have to apologize
and accept my terms.
I might not be a big deal,
but I'm better than nothing.
And she'll realize that.
There's nobody else
in the world, Greta.
Just the two of us.
All the others don't count.
There's Karin too.
Yes. There's Karin.
-The gay guy.
-And Luna.
- Yes, and Luna.
- And Magali.
Damn it, Greta. What the hell?
God says, "Honor thy father
and thy mother".
And does Moses say,
"And my aunts?
My nephews and nieces, and
my grandpa?" Stop interrupting me!
People don't count, Greta.
That's my point.
They're a bunch of bastards.
But I'm the lucky one.
You know why?
Because I don't need people.
I need things.
Things are better than people.
And I have the money to buy things.
Lots of money.
Thank you, gentlemen.
Next week we'll make a decision.
Your buffet was delicious.
There's been a problem
I haven't mentioned,
but the house there
was sold to someone else.
It was a silly mistake.
I apologize.
For curiosity's sake, is there
another house or plot for sale there?
No.
Got it.
What did you expect?
That they'd accept your past?
That they'd treat you as if
these last 15 years,
you were getting a Masters
and working for multinationals?
You know what I want?
You out of my office.
Sorry, Joana. That's the way it works.
And it's better that way.
Knowing our place in life
makes things easier.
Excuse me.
May I introduce my niece to you?
Mia is starting to work with me
as of tomorrow.
-Nice to meet you.
-The pleasure's mine.
-I hope you like it here.
-Thank you.
Sonia, I have a headache.
Can you get me a pill?
-Sure.
-Thanks.
- What are you doing, Oscar?
- Moving out.
I know I was upset.
But I lost five million !
Being together is what matters.
Together, but not the wrong way,
the right way.
What's the right way?
The right way
is me having my own money.
I'll be back when I'm rich.
What will you do?
Work, whatever.
But I will be rich.
Then I'll come back
and propose to you.
Please stay, Oscar.
Wait for me.
Zanini was wrong.
Magali didn't accept his terms
and they too split up.
Magali preferred it like that.
She had the house all to herself now.
I need to set an example
and make them respect me.
I want Diego out of the company.
Shortly afterwards,
Carpeaux Company decided to cut costs.
Diego was among those
who were laid off.
End of episode 1
My plan might interest you.
- Business is brisk today. How come?
- Marketing.
The world's oldest profession
shouldn't be the most backward.
Oceano Azul.
Isn't it a great name
for our business?
It will look great
on the office wall.
We need a new strategy,
become a luxury item.
Bottled water costs 70 reais.
How much is sex worth?
Who are you, you slut?
We work so hard for 15,000
and she imitates us for 1,500.
This is pure piracy.
Take my advice.
It's better to settle.
This settlement has an issue.
It doesn't exist.
Are you crazy, Karin?
You're suing her?
Yes.
With all due respect, Sir,
everything is a hustle.
Welcome back to our trademark
and our names.
If he doesn't care
how you make a living
going out with other guys,
he doesn't love you.
But if he cares,
he'll try to save you.
-Are you dating?
-Any problem?
I won't stop working to please anyone.
I'll stop when I decide so.
And nobody's
deciding that for me.
-I can't take it anymore.
-I quit.
For years, my parents thought
I worked at a consulting firm.
That my life was
as conventional as theirs.
But what I really wanted
was to do one great job,
that would last for the rest of my life
marrying a millionaire.
-Hey, you've got nothing?
-Nothing.
I'm such a loser. My heists
take months to plan but they all fail.
-What's that?
-The keys to my condo!
I like living alone,
not having to answer to anyone.
You are the hottest woman
I ever laid eyes on.
-What time do I pick you up?
-Scram.
Zanini's like a bathrobe. He might be
cute but I can't go out with him.
I love you, Zanini.
Kiss me, you monster.
-Let's play pimp style?
-Here's 500.
Here's your and I'm throwing in Gisele.
You've gone further than
any other escort. I respect that.
Greta told me all about the club.
It's a great business, right? I want in.
With this kind of service
and top quality
this club
will be a huge success.
I heard of the Oceano Azul's
seal of quality.
How about an Oceano Azul
brand of wine?
What do you think of
Oceano Azul going public?
O NEGOCIO
Season III
Episode 1
Karin organized Oceano Azul
to secure her own retirement.
But after it went public,
Oceano Azul started securing
many other people's retirement.
Our pension plan portfolio
is very diverse.
Apart from our real estate investments,
we've also invested in the stock market.
But only in first-class firms.
Take a look.
This is the best investment
for your future.
For most consumers, Oceano Azul
was just a top quality brand name.
They had no idea that Oceano Azul,
offered much, much more.
Do you like our new club?
It might not be Versailles, but here
you can go crazy and enjoy it too.
And so,
many stock exchange investors,
became, without knowing,
partners of a cathouse.
Once, Karin used what she learned
in the business world,
to make money from prostitution.
Now, she used what she learned
in prostitution,
to make money
in the business world.
I swear he flew in from Miami
once a month.
He flew in early, we met at a hotel,
and he flew back by lunchtime.
He was back in time
for family dinner.
-No way.
-It's true. Ask Cesar.
It's true. How do you do it?
I need to learn.
Nothing special.
No? The guy spent 14 hours in a plane,
to be with a woman
who did nothing special?
Yes.
Come on, what's your gimmick?
What's so special about you?
About me? Nothing.
In bed, Karin learned,
that products don't need to be special.
It's the client who needs to be special.
The consumer that is.
I know what I'm saying.
You could be Justice's greatest
president ever. The greatest.
Every single study indicates
that Oceano Azul's energy drink,
is considered the healthiest
and best tasting, but it's not selling.
The best in the market
and it's not selling, why?
I may have the solution. It's not
the drink that has to be special.
It's the consumer.
In no time,
it started selling like water.
You girls made us burn up energy.
Now you replenish it, cool.
You're so silly, Oscar.
-Ready for Millionaire's Night?
-An idea of his.
Did I tell you
I have the perfect heist?
-Really?
-I'll be even richer than you.
The idea was ripping off
a group of millionaires,
that got together once a year to play
poker, betting huge amounts of cash.
That night was called
Millionaires Night.
It's easy, get your clients
to get us a spot at the table.
We'll have minicameras
up our sleeves.
-Hold on.
-What?
-You said it was easy.
-And it is.
Minicameras up our sleeves?
Listen, we put minicameras up our
sleeves, and get the right seats.
When the croupier
deals the cards,
the cameras send the video
to a van parked outside.
-A van?
-So?
-Who's in the van?
-Who cares? Some idiot.
He has to watch the cards in
slow motion, and send me the info.
Jack of Clubs.
Ten of Clubs. He's got nothing.
Double.
I'll be the big winner
of Millionaires Night.
-Easy, right?
-What if you get caught?
It's the perfect job.
How do you know?
Is there a perfect job?
Of course not, they never know
it's a perfect job.
So nobody talks about it.
-I don't know, Oscar.
-Why not?
Why expose yourself?
You don't need the cash.
I make more than enough
for both of us.
Luna, I might be a born gigolo,
but not to the woman I love.
I did everything I could
to make him see the danger.
But I wasted my time.
-Ready?
-Yes.
So off we went
to Millionaires Night.
Bet.
Double.
What Oscar didn't know was that his
perfect heist, was really my doing.
I hired a group of actors,
to play the part of the millionaires.
And rented a house
to host the charade.
At the end of the evening,
Oscar won his million,
without knowing
the money was really mine.
I am a genius, Luna. A genius.
All I cared about
was making my man feel good.
And all Magali cared about, was making
sure her man didn't get in her way.
- You got the rules, Zanini?
- Yes, no anniversaries...
No calling to say we got home safely,
and no seeing each other every day.
And never ever ask
what we're thinking.
Fine, never ask
what we're thinking.
-Is it a deal?
-Deal.
-You won't regret it?
-No.
-You're sure?
-Totally.
Okay, then. Let's toast to that.
To us as a couple.
He thought he'd change things
little by little.
He managed to take her hand
after three months.
And it took him six months
to meet her mom. On Skype.
- It's a pleasure to meet you.
- The pleasure is mine. Zanini, right?
- With two N's. But one I in between.
- What?
N-I-N, not two N's
one after the other, okay?
Magali, what is he
talking about?
Mom, we just called to say hi.
We'll talk later. Bye.
And it took her nine months
to let Zanini sleep in her bed.
Where's my toothbrush?
I left it here.
It was yours?
Sorry, I threw it away.
Zanini was more determined
than the Japanese guy,
who was lost in a forest
for 17 years, trying to get home.
With Karin's idea's success,
Oceano Azul grew even more.
So much that a big company
took notice.
And that big company made an offer
to buy it. An irresistible offer.
They offered a lot of money
and Karin would be the CEO.
Their only demand was that
the club would become a spa.
What's wrong with sex?
It's just a product.
We agree with you.
But not everybody else does.
Some people are biased,
and we'd be in trouble
if the club gets any press,
and people associate
the brand with prostitution.
With the club, Oceano Azul got as far
as it could. It reached it's limit.
But if we shut down the club,
we can expand to other areas.
And go even further.
That bias against prostitution
is absurd.
The world is like that, Karin.
You can't change the world.
- You can't change the world, Karin.
- You know what you can do?
Change our bank accounts.
Yes, Karin.
It's time to sell the company.
And retire,
because when old people retire,
people think
"you're going to die".
But if a young guy like me retires,
people say: "That guy's going to live."
And that's what I'll do. Live.
-Living is a good idea.
-It always is.
Oceano Azul was sold.
Karin stayed on
as a shareholder and CEO.
Magali, Ariel and I
left the company.
And the club became a spa.
Oceano Azul started making
other products, for new markets.
A few months later,
the company that bought Oceano Azul,
was bought by an even larger company,
the Carpeaux Company.
Carpeaux owned dozens
of other companies.
The owner of Carpeaux
was Carpeaux.
Excuse me.
The reports you asked me for.
-Is everything okay?
-Yes, I'm fine.
Carpeaux had made us
a ton of money.
I'll be back.
It was time Oceano Azul
made him some money.
Oceano Azul moved
to Carpeaux's headquarters.
And eventually,
Karin deserted Karin,
just like she deserted
Joana in the past.
Remember how we started, Sonia?
In that little room at Faria Lima?
I always went to the after-hour parties.
Now, I'm on this side.
Did you think
we'd come this far?
Far? I know you.
You're not even half way there.
I'm leaving. I'm tired.
I have to be up early.
-Sleep well. See you tomorrow.
-Thanks.
Please.
That's fine, thanks.
-You must be Joana.
-Yes.
-Isabela, Diego's wife.
-A pleasure to meet you.
The pleasure is mine.
Like working here?
Yes, but I'm still adapting.
Come, I'll introduce you
to the wives' league.
Diego was Carpeaux's CFO.
Karin wasn't just on that side,
she got closer to the executives
and their wives.
Hello. Could I have your attention
for a moment?
Good evening. Thanks for being here.
Being the owner of the company,
I could sing "Champagne"
and you'd applaud me.
But since I'm a nice guy,
I'll just tell you a story I read.
He told the story
of the wise old Chinaman,
who was hired by a duke to find
the kingdom's finest horses.
All I know is,
the wise old man retired,
and recommended a humble firewood,
and produce man to replace him.
He showed up with a black stallion,
claiming it was a bay mare.
The duke was furious
and complained to the old man.
The old man opened his eyes
and said:
"So, he's that good, is he?
"He is so capable of recognizing
one's internal qualities,
that he can no longer see
our external characteristics?
He has surpassed me.
He's much better than I ever was."
In fact, it didn't take him long
to prove that the horse,
was really
an extraordinary horse.
Each and every one of you
is an extraordinary horse.
And me? I'm just a guy that sells
firewood and produce.
Thank you.
Now enjoy your party. Thank you.
I'd rather hear him singing.
-Luna! Luna!
-Yes?
You hear that?
- It's good luck knocking on our door.
- Another scam, Oscar?
That Millionaires Night
is for losers, idiots.
Guess how much some guys
bet in one evening?
- Five million, Luna.
- Right, All Fools Night.
Guess what?
They invited me to play with them.
- What?
- I used my influence to get us invited.
- No, Oscar. That's a lot of money.
- A lot of money we'll win.
You know I can't fail.
I play to win.
Listen.
It's good luck.
Magali!
Do you know if Magali went out?
She won't open the door
and I can't reach her.
- Yes, she went out.
- But when? We were meeting here.
A while ago.
Don't you have the key?
I do. But I lost the key.
Sorry, I lost track
of the time at the mall.
Don't be like that. Do something better
than being mad at me.
Have fun with me.
So they had sex for fun
like in the mirror scene,
in "The Unbearable
Lightness of Being."
Then they danced
like in a Godard movie.
-All our friends are here.
-Look who's here.
The night is young and I'm
Michael Jackson. Let's have a drink.
-Sit down, playboy.
-Playboy? Are you nuts?
- Aren't you rich now? Upper class?
- I'll tell you what I've become.
I've become myself, because you
become yourself when you're rich.
When you're poor,
you're someone else.
Fine, Ariel, go be yourself
with your Polo shirt.
And put some gel in your hair
to be even more you.
-You're so funny.
-Cool it. What are you drinking?
What do playboys drink?
Vodka and an energy drink?
-A shot of tequila?
-Only the good stuff.
Go to hell.
Romero, get me a beer.
-Guess what I feel like doing.
-What?
- Playing pimp style at the cathouse.
- I'll join you if you quit the crap.
- You need a woman to bet pimp style.
- You guys can loan me one.
You will, right?
I'll pay you if I lose.
-You can't loan women.
-And how do I play?
Let's go?
Waiter, put it on our tab.
Tell me when you organize
the meeting, okay?
Okay. Anything else?
Yes, your workload
has increased a lot, right?
- Yes, a lot.
- How about hiring a PA?
-That would be great.
-Anyone in mind?
Actually, yes.
My niece is so smart.
But she still doesn't know
what career she wants.
I'd like to give her
an opportunity.
She'll work with you, Sonia.
It's your call.
Thanks.
That's Diego.
Could you get us some coffee?
Sure.
Hi.
- Did you get my numbers?
- Yes, let me open this. Have a seat.
- Isabela likes you a lot.
- Really? I like her too.
She asked me to invite you.
You know the Haras dos Ingleses?
Only by name.
We have a house there
and tomorrow, Isabela's having a
luncheon for the people you met.
She wants you to come.
Can you?
-Sure, I'd love to.
-I'll send you the address.
Okay.
-Did you open it?
-Yes, I did.
Two days, Luna. Zanini's sleeping
at my place for two days.
He goes straight
from work.
I have no privacy.
It's like a subway station.
- He's just one person, not a crowd.
- A person that's not me.
What do I do? Won't I hurt his feelings
if I kick him out?
What do you think?
I'd hate to hurt him,
but I won't live in a subway.
- I'm desperate.
- Me too.
I encouraged Oscar so much, that now
he's risking his life playing poker.
- They'll kill him if they catch him.
- Really, Luna?
Sure, if you can bet five million
in one night, murder is nothing to you.
You need to tell him
he's not that lucky.
- But how? To admit I lied to him?
- Tell him the truth.
The truth is always the last resource.
There must be another way.
Can you believe
those scumbags, Cesar?
They're discriminating me
for being rich and honest.
I didn't want to be honest.
It just happened. So what?
I'm wasting my breath. You'll never know
what it's like to be discriminated.
Sure I do, Ariel. I'm one of the most
discriminated minorities ever.
What minority, Cesar? You're gay
and bald. You guys are everywhere.
You know what? Screw them.
From now on, I'm hanging out with
people like me. Rich, classy people.
I'm not a pimp anymore.
Now, I'm on the other side.
The next day, Karin went to meet
her new friends.
She never thought
they would get along so well.
Candles, flowers, caviar.
What else? A bottle of grappa.
-Right.
-Leave it on my desk, okay?
Thanks, baby.
- Hello.
- Hi, little monster.
-You just broke a rule.
-What rule?
Calling me at work
to say you miss me.
- It's something else.
- Like what?
Grandma wants to see me.
I have to go there.
-In the country?
-Yes.
-When are you leaving?
-Right now.
But I'm having
a candlelight dinner for us.
-Do it when I come back.
-When's that?
- I don't know. I'll call you.
- Fine, take care.
-I will. Bye, monster.
-Bye.
Hey, baby. You don't need
to buy anything, okay?
-Okay.
-Just the bottle of grappa.
Okay.
You have no kids
and no boyfriend either.
- What do you do at home?
- I work. I read.
What do you do for fun?
-I work and read.
-Really?
I hate working and reading.
The three things I hate most.
Working, reading,
and having a colposcopy.
But I have a colposcopy
every year.
That's the polo court.
This is beautiful.
You have a lovely home.
Thanks, Diego is a partner
at the construction company.
He got a good price.
Tati and Fabi moved here too.
They're so nice.
You should too, to do something
other than work and read.
Sounds tempting.
I'd introduce you to Marcelo.
He owns the best property here.
And he just got divorced.
- You're nuts. Isabela could see us.
- I miss you.
- No, let go of me.
- I can't stop.
- Why don't you go after Joana?
- What?
- I saw you flirting with her.
- Are you crazy?
Just let me know
if you find another lover.
Don't talk like that.
You know I love you.
So why do you
gawk at her like that?
-Stop this nonsense.
-You think I'm stupid?
For God's sake, Tati.
Have sex with her if you want,
but don't speak to me again.
-I don't want her, damn it.
-No?
- No, I would have her if I wanted to.
- How so?
- Never mind.
- No, tell me, how so?
She was an escort.
- I had a great time. I owe you one.
- It was a pleasure.
I insist, we'll have dinner
at my place.
-We'd love to, if you insist.
-Wonderful.
-Thanks.
-Sure.
-Bye.
-Bye.
At the end of the day,
Karin was seriously considering
buying a house there.
I love bashing other people.
But I really like Joana.
-Really?
-Why?
Guess what I heard.
One more time.
Let's see.
-I think you got it right.
-Excellent.
- What will you do with your share?
- I'm saving it.
When the club closed, I stopped
dating hookers and made plans.
What plans?
I'll save until I have a lot of money,
then give it all to a girl.
-What girl?
-I don't know yet.
One that'll date me
in exchange for my money.
For years, until I forget
I paid to date her.
-And get married?
-I think so.
-Guess what I got, Oscar.
-What?
Promise to get on your knees
and thank me?
-Yes, what?
-Two tickets to the NBA finals.
-You swear?
-Four courtside seats.
No way!
Between Spike Lee and Jack Nicholson.
Then we're partying with the players.
Unbelievable!
I got the Four Seasons
Presidential Suite for us.
I'm going to rock your world.
You just made my day.
How did you do it?
- An ex-client. Cost me a fortune.
- Show me the tickets.
The same day
as the poker game?
Really? What a shame.
You really wanted to go.
-I will. Wanna buy them, Yuri?
-No, thanks.
I'll sell them online.
What, Oscar?
I had a hard time getting them.
We're going to that party.
Eric Clapton is performing.
Mike Tyson's going. We'll see Lady Gaga
puking in the restroom.
I wouldn't miss poker
for anything.
Why? You don't need the money.
Let's have some fun.
Luna, it's the perfect heist.
Perfect timing, understand?
It's very risky to try and rob those
guys. What if they catch you?
It worked once.
It'll work again, relax.
Okay, here goes the truth.
Millionaires Night never happened.
I mean, it did happen,
but somewhere far away.
-What?
-I hired actors, and rented a house.
The cash you won was mine.
It was a total sham.
-You made that up.
-No.
-How could you?
-It was for your own good.
Making a fool of me?
At least they didn't shoot you
for cheating.
That's wrong, Luna.
Wrong!
Yuri, please make him see
I did the right thing.
-Sure, can I have some bread?
-Yes, Yuri.
I ended up telling Oscar the truth,
but Magali lied to Zanini.
She wasn't at her grandma's.
She wanted some time alone at home.
-She ruined my perfect heist.
-She thought you'd screw up.
That's why I'm mad at her.
She thinks I can't do it.
Maybe you can't.
When was your last heist?
I'll show her I can do it.
I'll win those five million.
This is the master bedroom.
And the dining room.
You can see the stables from here.
And this is your room.
-My room?
-Yes, yours and Henrique's.
- You really want to buy it?
- Yes, it's expensive, but I am.
It's nice to see you're happy.
It's kind of hard to believe,
but I think I'm finally happy.
Gross, right?
Henrique says happiness
is like listening to ABBA.
Gross, but good.
What are you serving for dinner?
I ordered an amazing buffet.
Much better than yours.
-I doubt it.
-Really? Look at the menu.
Don't insist, Diego.
I'm not going.
-Why not?
-You know.
She was an escort,
not anymore.
There's not such a thing.
She was and always will be.
Isabela, we have to go.
She's our CEO, damn it!
Have the damn risotto,
the damn champagne,
smile, say thank you and we leave.
Is that so hard to do?
That same day,
Ariel got himself invited,
to an old client's birthday party.
A wealthy aristocrat
from Săo Paulo.
Zequinha, my friend.
Ariel. How are you?
He wanted to impress them.
They were his new friends.
-Are you really going?
-I am.
- It's risky, Oscar.
- So?
If you die, we can't go
to the movies next week.
- They won't kill me.
- How do you know?
I'm not the looser you take me for,
Luna. Get that in your head.
-Can you do me a favor then?
-What?
Can I go?
Didn't you say they'll kill me
if I get caught?
- And you wanna come?
- I want to be with you.
I don't think you're a looser.
Hi, Zanini.
Fine, and you?
Grandma is fine.
We're going to the club.
I'll send her kisses.
Probably next week.
I miss you too.
I love you too. Kisses.
Karin invited Carpeaux's
top executives to her buffet.
It was like her debut
into society.
She was as excited
as in her Sweet Sixteen.
-Yes?
-Diego and Isabela for Karin.
-Good evening.
-Hello.
-I'm glad you could make it.
-Good evening.
Ariel!
Congratulations, my friend.
This is for you.
You shouldn't have bothered.
Please come right in.
Let me get you a drink.
Okay.
Sit on the croupier's right.
I'll be on the left.
Don't worry.
I always sit on this side.
It's a superstition of mine.
-A superstition?
-Yes.
I'm not helping you get lucky.
Sit somewhere else.
It's not for good luck,
just so I can play. It's an OCD thing.
-What can I do about it?
-You can sit elsewhere.
Forget it.
What a shame.
I thought you'd sit next to me.
-You want me to sit next to you?
-I'd like that.
Looks like we both got lucky.
That evening,
he missed Magali so much,
that Zanini drank
half a bottle of grappa.
When he was drunk
he had an idea.
-This is so awkward!
-Can't you try a little harder?
-Be grateful for my silence.
-Did you see her dress?
What's wrong with her dress?
Stop exaggerating.
-You saw her dress!
-Don't start, Tati.
- What? You started it.
- Let's calm down.
The champagne is great, she's very nice.
We don't need all this grief.
Do you all agree?
Niki Lauda up the butt?
-Yes. Never heard it?
-No.
He collected model cars
that he lit up to warm them.
-Then guess what he did.
-No way.
Shoved them up his ass.
No kidding. To each his own.
There's no such thing as bad pleasure.
Pleasure is pleasure, right?
-Right.
-Mine are very simple, though.
-Thank you.
-Ariel, take it easy.
Why?
Those guys worry
that you might get buzzed,
and talk about
some inappropriate things.
What inappropriate things?
Don't get upset.
We've nothing against you.
It's just that
they're with their wives.
And they feel uncomfortable.
Understand?
Just don't overdo it
and nobody's going to worry.
- I see.
- I need to mingle now.
We never take advantage
of birthday parties.
Sure.
Hold on.
Let me look again.
- Playing or not?
- Damn! It's a full house.
- Don't do it.
- I'm out.
-A pause to use the restroom?
-Good idea.
That was Zanini's idea.
MY CHARISMATIC PENIS
LOVES YOUR MAGICAL VAGINA
He knew when Magali traveled,
she gave the doorman the keys
to water her plants.
So he went there to get the key,
go inside the apartment,
and hang the welcome sign
in the living room.
- Is that your van?
- I'm the driver, sir.
License and registration.
Here you are.
Mr. Yuri, do you realize
you urinated in a public place,
and that's against the law?
I'm sorry.
Plus you're parked
in the wrong spot.
- The wrong spot?
- This is for the disabled.
I didn't see it, sorry.
I'm expecting my boss.
I'll let it go this time. But move
the vehicle and wait elsewhere.
- Yes, sir.
- Now.
Excuse me.
After all these years
I learned one thing.
If the guy's a real dummy,
he's not doing anything wrong.
Your guests are kind of quiet.
But the food is excellent.
- Thank you.-
I didn't know you smoked.
I smoke one every other year.
Listen. After they leave,
we could have a nightcap.
- How about it?
- Thanks, but I need to rest.
Joana, we have
all eternity to rest.
-You're cute, you know that?
-Excuse me. I better go.
-Good evening.
-Good evening.
I didn't bring Magali's key.
Do you have it?
No, you can go up.
She's home.
-No, she's out of town.
-No, I'm sure she's home.
-All by herself?
-Yes, go right up.
-Who is it?
-Open up, Magali.
-What are you doing here?
-No, what are you doing here?
- I can explain.
- You said you were at your grandma's.
-I know.
-Why did you lie to me?
I needed my space,
a little privacy, you know?
I can't get used
to being together all the time.
That's all.
I'm not cheating on you.
Come in.
Listen, Magali,
either give me a set of keys,
and get me a toothbrush
or it's over.
Have all the time alone
you want.
Sorry, I had problems parking.
We're fine now. Let's go.
Two cards.
Yuri finally parked the van,
but in a spot where
the communication was bad.
Don't bet, Oscar.
-And Oscar heard...
-Bet now, Oscar.
Did you hear me?
Don't do it for God's sake!
Bet now, for God's sake!
Looks like that seat
didn't change anything.
That's impossible.
There's a lot of leftovers.
We'll put it away in the kitchen, okay?
Can you believe it? She cheated on me,
but not with another guy!
You know who with?
With nobody.
She cheated on me with nothing.
She prefers nothing to my company.
I'm less than nothing to her.
It's the worst kind
of cheating, buddy.
But she'll regret it,
you'll see.
She'll have to apologize
and accept my terms.
I might not be a big deal,
but I'm better than nothing.
And she'll realize that.
There's nobody else
in the world, Greta.
Just the two of us.
All the others don't count.
There's Karin too.
Yes. There's Karin.
-The gay guy.
-And Luna.
- Yes, and Luna.
- And Magali.
Damn it, Greta. What the hell?
God says, "Honor thy father
and thy mother".
And does Moses say,
"And my aunts?
My nephews and nieces, and
my grandpa?" Stop interrupting me!
People don't count, Greta.
That's my point.
They're a bunch of bastards.
But I'm the lucky one.
You know why?
Because I don't need people.
I need things.
Things are better than people.
And I have the money to buy things.
Lots of money.
Thank you, gentlemen.
Next week we'll make a decision.
Your buffet was delicious.
There's been a problem
I haven't mentioned,
but the house there
was sold to someone else.
It was a silly mistake.
I apologize.
For curiosity's sake, is there
another house or plot for sale there?
No.
Got it.
What did you expect?
That they'd accept your past?
That they'd treat you as if
these last 15 years,
you were getting a Masters
and working for multinationals?
You know what I want?
You out of my office.
Sorry, Joana. That's the way it works.
And it's better that way.
Knowing our place in life
makes things easier.
Excuse me.
May I introduce my niece to you?
Mia is starting to work with me
as of tomorrow.
-Nice to meet you.
-The pleasure's mine.
-I hope you like it here.
-Thank you.
Sonia, I have a headache.
Can you get me a pill?
-Sure.
-Thanks.
- What are you doing, Oscar?
- Moving out.
I know I was upset.
But I lost five million !
Being together is what matters.
Together, but not the wrong way,
the right way.
What's the right way?
The right way
is me having my own money.
I'll be back when I'm rich.
What will you do?
Work, whatever.
But I will be rich.
Then I'll come back
and propose to you.
Please stay, Oscar.
Wait for me.
Zanini was wrong.
Magali didn't accept his terms
and they too split up.
Magali preferred it like that.
She had the house all to herself now.
I need to set an example
and make them respect me.
I want Diego out of the company.
Shortly afterwards,
Carpeaux Company decided to cut costs.
Diego was among those
who were laid off.
