The Business (2013–2018): Season 3, Episode 12 - Reserva De Mercado - full transcript
-I solved the buffet problem.
-Shouldn't we delay the party?
Zanini, do you love me or not?
What's this?
You purchased a tuxedo?
-Did you?
-It's for the party I told you about.
-What party?
-The office organized a custom party.
I take Tomas Zanini
as my spouse.
You didn't speak to me for a while.
I paid my dues. Give me parole.
My husband came for me.
He's downstairs.
I know I got angry,
but I lost 5 million!
Please, Oscar... Stay!
I'll be back when I become
a millionaire. Wait for me.
-Nice meeting you. I'm Livia.
-I'm Eric.
Why didn't you break up
with the kid yesterday?
-Wasn't our agreement?
-I like him. I don't wanna break up.
-I need to go for awhile.
-Have a great trip.
What do we do now?
The building Karin wants
in her family land.
-Wasn't it her dream?
-Sold for 50 million.
-Thanks, girls for being bold.
-It was for Karin.
O NEGOCIO
Season III
Episode 12
MARKET SHARE
Guess what the gold miners
did to the Indians, Gilmar.
-The gold miners?
-Yes, gold miners.
They enslaved them?
Not just that, they separated
the old people, the disabled, kids,
anyone that got in their way.
Guess what they did to them.
-What?
-They killed them.
-And fed them to the dogs.
-The dogs ate them?
Tell me something, Gilmar.
Why feed them to the dogs
if dogs didn't eat them?
How would I know? To hell with it.
Why are you telling me this?
The gold miners enslaved
and killed the Indians.
But nowadays what do we do?
We honor them.
We make monuments of them,
name streets after them.
It's like naming a highway
Suzane von Richthofen.
-What have I got to do with it?
-Nothing, but I sure do.
You know that plot of land
we're building on?
-The huge cathouse?
-It's more than a cathouse, Gilmar.
Okay. So?
The head of the freaking department
of the freaking historic preservation,
wants to stop us
from building anything,
because they found
the ruins of a mud hut,
where some damn miner shat and slept.
Can you believe that?
-History is history, Ariel.
-History is history?
If the bastards declare the land
a historical site,
we'll have to refund
the investors.
Forty million.
Plus the ten million we're overbudget.
-We're screwed, Gilmar.
-What will you do?
I'll take care of it tomorrow.
I'm meeting the director
of the damn agency.
Let's see if he really wants to preserve
the past, or guarantee his future.
Ariel?
-Are you Rick?
-Yes.
Let's have a little chat.
Roger says you're number one
in his agency.
-Great.
-Did he say why I need you?
You're feeling lonely?
No, no, it's not for me.
It's for someone else, a woman.
-I also do a lot of ladies.
-This is no lady.
She's young, pretty,
and with a temper.
She's dating my son. I need to show him
she's not what he thinks.
You want me to seduce her?
Right, seduce her,
get her in bed,
and I'll make sure
my son catches you.
You're totally safe.
The kid's more pacific than the ocean.
-So, what do you think?
-It's beautiful. I love your club.
Great, how about a drink?
The best in Sao Paulo.
I can't, I have to go back
to the art gallery.
Okay.
I'll call you later.
-Have a good one.
-Thanks.
What was that?
-I didn't know you were here.
-Who is she?
-Sabrina.
-Your old friend?
-We're more than friends now.
-What about Zanini?
-He doesn't know.
-Are you lying to him?
Sure, you said lying
is the best solution.
Yes, but I'm not so sure
after losing Chris.
Really?
I've thought about my lies
and the consequences.
My parents, for example.
I've lied to them so much
they don't know who I am.
They don't love me,
but a daughter that doesn't exist.
A daughter I made up.
And I want them to love me
exactly the way I am.
So tell them the truth.
-Yes, I will.
-Seriously?
No, I won't.
Yes, seriously.
I'm telling them.
I've had it with this charade.
"The Man Who Sold Love"
"The Life of Ariel Vidal"
"A movie by Yuri"
-Yuri.
-What?
-I've made up my mind.
-Great.
-Don't you want to hear it?
-Don't you want to tell me?
-Only if you want me to.
-Only if you want to tell me.
I decided I can't wait anymore.
I need to get rich quickly.
We can die any time like Rinaldi
and Greta. There's no time to lose.
Right.
You want to know
how I'll get rich quickly?
You want to tell me?
-By playing poker again.
-With the camera trick?
No, that was a mess.
I'm playing clean.
Yuri, I know how to cheat
and who's cheating. It's what I do best.
-Cool.
-There's just one problem.
I don't have any money.
I need a loan. How about it?
I can't.
I'm saving for my movie.
Yuri, you tried to kill me.
It's the least you can do.
-What about my movie?
-Do you have the money?
-No.
-I'll get rich and pay for it.
There's no time to lose.
We could die anytime.
That's it!
Now unzip your pants.
Done, now what do I do?
Imagine your hand is mine,
slide it down your tummy
just as I would.
-You like that?
-A lot.
Place your other hand
on your breasts.
Touch yourself gently.
Now squeeze hard.
-Damn.
-What?
-My husband's here.
-We'll continue live later.
Yes. I miss you so much!
You got me going too.
Kisses.
-Who were you talking to?
-Sabrina, why?
-Sabrina?
-Yes, Sabrina.
You said you're missing
the person.
-So what?
-You missing Sabrina?
-Can't I?
-Isn't that weird?
-Why would that be?
-I don't know.
Where are you going?
-To work.
-Now?
Yes, I know.
I might sleep at the office.
-Unbelievable.
-What can I do, right?
Stay home.
You just got back from Brasilia.
I know, it's a drag.
I'm sorry.
Zanini.
Have you got a lover?
Don't do that.
I'm the one that suspects you.
-Do you or don't you?
-No, I don't have a lover.
And you? Are you dating somebody?
The truth. Who was that?
-Sabrina.
-You swear?
Fine. I'd better get going.
They both told the truth.
Magali did speak with Sabrina
and Zanini had no lover,
he had a wife.
What's wrong with bribing
the son of a bitch?
It's always better to find
an honest solution first.
What solution?
Promise to adapt the project
to save the miner's house.
Cesar, do you think the head
of that damn agency,
is really concerned
about some shitty hut?
-He just wants money.
-How do you know that?
Unless he's a Buddhist monk.
No amount of cash would suffice.
-We need to offer a lot of money.
-The girls won't like that.
But they'll like
to have the land back.
Eric, it's high time you learned
how to live in society.
Come.
-Leticia.
-Yes, baby?
-I might not be back for dinner.
-Why not?
I might have to stay
at the office tonight.
Really?
Yes, a lot of work piled up
during our honeymoon.
It was worth it, right?
Have you seen my cellphone?
-No, I'll dial your number.
-No! Don't do that.
Here. Real quick.
-There you go.
-I'm running late.
Why do I appear as
Valdo Accountant?
-What?
-It says "Valdo Accountant."
That's weird.
Must be the phone.
My contacts must be mixed up.
I read somewhere that this happens.
I'll fix it later.
Bye. See you.
So, honey.
What did you want to tell me?
-Can you make some coffee?
-First, you said after lunch.
Then you said you'd tell me
after a glass of wine.
Then you said
after another glass of wine.
We had the whole bottle
and still nothing. And now it's coffee?
-Fine, I'll tell you.
-Okay.
But first, you need
to know something.
-What?
-It could affect our relationship.
And Dad could get very upset.
But I need your support.
I need your understanding.
Okay?
Sure, I'm getting worried.
What is it?
You said what?
I was going to tell them,
I tried to tell them,
but when I actually spoke,
something else came out.
You said you're a lesbian?
Yes, maybe I thought about
you and Sabrina.
I can't believe it.
I said I was afraid
they wouldn't accept that,
and that's why I pretended
to like men all these years.
I said I never really dated
Yuri, Oscar and Chris
that they just pretended
they were.
What did she say?
She was surprised, but she's
okay with it. The problem was Dad.
He showed up later
and we told him everything.
He was shocked.
He won't speak to me.
You wanted to be truthful,
so they'd accept you as you are,
and lied again and they
don't accept what you're not?
-Is that it?
-That's right.
I need to make Dad accept me again,
but I have no idea how to do that.
-We're screwed.
-What happened?
-Ariel.
-What about him?
-He's in jail.
-In jail?
The official was very offended.
He turned red and called security.
Ariel said it's part of the plan,
but they cuffed him and arrested him.
Magali, call Zanini,
tell him to get the fool out.
If he answers the phone,
'cause he switches it off
when he's supposedly in a meeting.
-Supposedly?
-I think he has a lover.
Really? Zanini?
Maybe not, but I'll find out
what he's up to.
Zanini? Listen, we need you here.
Ariel's been arrested.
Hold on, let Eric explain.
We'd better speak
with that official ourselves.
I think you're right, Mia.
I'll be back after the game.
-Oscar.
-Yes?
What if you lose my money?
-I won't.
-What if you do?
I won't, I'll win. Trust me.
How could I know he was honest?
I haven't met an honest man in ages.
I thought they were extinct
like the Incas.
They're not extinct, Ariel.
Luckily, there are still
honest people in the world.
Luckily you say? Luckily?
Look at our situation.
We could lose everything.
And if it weren't for Zanini,
I'd still be in jail.
Don't worry,
we'll have a word with him.
We'll explain how important our project
is without mentioning prostitution,
say we support conserving
the nation's historic sites,
and reach some sort
of agreement.
It's your fault he refused to see us.
We had to insist on lunch tomorrow.
I'm glad you did it.
Now I need a favor.
-What favor?
-Don't tell Eric the guy is honest.
That would only confuse the kid,
and I'm trying to help him survive
in this world.
Understand?
"Ariel just had sex
with a beautiful woman."
Ariel, be my pimp.
My dear, I make love.
I do not sell love, okay?
Then be my guest, baby.
-Hey, Yuri.
-How did it go?
-Guess.
-You lost?
-No, I doubled your money.
-And that's not good?
I could've won much more.
Got distracted.
But that's fine,
I'll play tomorrow.
Watch it, Oscar.
Don't lose everything.
Calm down, Yuri.
I know what I'm doing.
-Hello!
-This is Mia.
The next day
we spoke with the head of the historical
sites conservation department.
My whiskey, thank you.
Can we order now?
-We can eat and talk. Is that okay?
-Sure.
During lunch,
we explained our project,
an entertainment center
that would create a lot of jobs,
make the neighborhood safer
and make enough money,
to preserve
not just the miner's hut,
but other historic buildings
in the city.
So if you allow us to build our center,
it's a win-win situation for everybody.
You're so young,
so pretty and intelligent.
It makes me sad
to see ladies like yourselves,
associated with a crook
like that partner of yours.
Ariel didn't mean to...
Can I finish? You've had
your turn, right? Now it's my turn.
Right. Sorry.
When I was your age, I had a boss
who had a sign on his desk.
I never forget it.
The sign said this:
"The crap ends here."
The crap ends here.
Let me tell you something.
This country can't take all this
corruption. Somebody has to say no.
It's time somebody bangs the table
and says, that's it, no more.
So, ladies, that's it. No more.
The crap ends here.
Your partner tried to bribe me
and that's unforgiveable.
The historic legacy process
will continue,
and you won't place
a single stone in that land.
In that case, let's get the check.
We won't take up any more of your time.
Where's the ladies room?
-That way, I think.
-Excuse me.
He might be honest,
but he's a bastard.
-And a jerk.
-I'd like to be corrupt just to bug him.
-Exactly.
-Listen up.
-What?
-I need to tell you something.
Two.
So he had lunch with you guys
to say all that nonsense?
-That's ridiculous!
-Right.
-So he's not helping us.
-No.
That Inca bastard.
-That's the point.
-What is?
-He's not as honest as he seems.
-No?
No, he ordered a 70 reais
single malt.
So what?
I paid for it and had it
deleted from the check.
-So what?
-He saw it and paid his share.
So what, damn it?
He didn't say
the whiskey was missing.
He looked the other way.
The guy's no Inca.
The miner's hut is a lie.
Somebody paid him
to stop us from building there.
Who would do that?
Nobody knows about it.
A few clients know about it.
And they're in favor of it.
Did we tell anyone else?
-I didn't.
-Me neither.
-I didn't tell anybody.
-Me neither.
-I only told...
-Who, Ariel?
-But he's not somebody...
-Who, Ariel?
-Gilmar.
-Gilmar?
Yes, Gilmar, that jerk.
What's the problem?
Why would he hurt us?
It makes no sense.
-Isn't he a pimp?
-Yes, so what?
Have you heard about
the market reservation law?
Son of a bitch!
Tell me the truth, you bastard!
-Let me go.
-Talk or I'll break your neck!
Let me go and I'll talk.
Speak up.
I was against it,
but they had more votes.
What are you talking about?
The news about the building
had everybody worried.
Who is everybody?
Everybody, Kiko Pomada,
Mister Apache,
Manuel Irigaray,
Paulo Perninha, everybody.
Perninha called
an emergency meeting.
He said the building
would ruin everybody,
just like Blockbuster ruined
all the video rental shops.
So we voted to stop
the construction or not.
I voted against it.
Me and Mister Apache.
Mister Apache likes you.
He always has.
I expected the pastors
to be against it,
the priests, the blue-haired old ladies.
The white-haired feminists.
The only people I never thought
would be against it are the pimps.
How can guys that make a living
from sex be against even more sex?
Nobody likes competition, Ariel.
I want you
to take a message to them.
What message?
Tell them I am willing
to negotiate a price
for them to forget
the whole thing.
-That won't work.
-How would you know?
They think they'll be put
out of business.
You think they'll sell out
for a new car? No.
Then, give them
another message.
What?
There'll be war.
Tell them we're now at war.
The next day,
the war's first missiles were launched.
The first one hit a history professor,
one of the most influential members
of the conservation agency.
He had already heard
about escorts.
Now he had solid proof
that they really existed.
The Axis of Evil
counterattacked soon after
fatally striking one
of the agency's city planners.
Meanwhile, another war,
a cold war that is,
was brewing
somewhere else in town.
Leticia got more and more
suspicious of Zanini,
and decided to launch
Operation Valdo Accountant.
And Zanini decided to launch
Operation Sabrina's Identity.
I'm going out with Magali.
See you later.
And Sabrina's husband launched
Operation I hope it's Magali.
I'm looking for a guest, Thomas Zanini.
Can I have his room number?
-Is there another last name?
-No.
Bad day?
My husband's cheating on me.
How about that?
-With my wife, maybe?
-She's cheating on you?
Yes, as we speak, right here,
in one of these 350 rooms.
We just got back
from our honeymoon.
-Really?
-Yes.
A guy went on a cruise
for his honeymoon.
While his wife slept
he picked up girls at the bar.
But he didn't know his wife
was having another guy's baby.
-Why are men such bastards?
-Why are women so heartless?
-I have a heart.
-I am no bastard.
How many cheaters
are in this hotel right now?
I don't know.
We should add
to the list.
Payback against bastard men
and heartless women.
Yes.
The next few days
the war with the pimps intensified.
Anybody who had any influence in the
decisions of the conservation agency,
became a victim of a war that was
both intolerant and senseless.
Gentlemen.
Who votes yes?
We won the battle
at the municipal level.
But then our enemies
invaded the entire state.
Three agencies can make
the land a historic site.
The state, the city,
and the federal government.
If we lose any of those three,
we'd lose the war.
So we need to use
all our fire power.
We need to send all our girls
to the front line.
It's the hundred-year war.
It's the one-thousand tits war.
While we struggled to save
everything we owned,
Oscar struggled to win
as much as he could.
I'm all in.
Show your hand.
Leticia kept trying to find out
if Zanini had a lover.
You didn't say
what client it was.
You didn't say
who saw me at the hotel.
-Why do you care who saw you?
-Why do you care what client it was?
I want to know.
You think I didn't go there
to meet a client?
Who do you think I met,
a lover?
For God's sake.
We were just married.
That means that after a while
you can have a lover?
No, it's not that.
Even the worst cheaters don't have
lovers right after their honeymoon.
A guy waited for his wife
to fall asleep,
during their honeymoon on a cruise,
to pick up girls at the bar.
That's such a lie.
While she tried to find out if Zanini
had a lover, she had one herself.
I told you not to call me
at this time.
Don't talk like that.
No, I don't know
if I want to see you again.
Fine, but I can't promise
anything.
What were you doing in there?
-Who, me?
-Yes, you.
-I needed some water.
-With your cell phone?
I had it with me.
-Where's the water?
-I changed my mind.
Things weren't any different
at Sabrina's place.
Get this in your head,
Rodolfo.
While I'm with you,
I'll never have sex with another guy.
Okay?
"I want to squeeze you."
"You're crazy."
-Let's watch the movie?
-Sure.
-Why did you put it upside down?
-What?
And Sabrina started suspecting
the cuckold also cheated.
Ariel sighs.
I am tired.
I'm going to bed.
"Ariel opens the door to the room.
Twenty naked women look at him.
They all talk at the same time."
Be my pimp, Ariel.
-You saw my car keys?
-Betting again?
-Shouldn't I?
-What do you think?
I don't know.
Oscar, you won enough
to buy a condo.
Condos won't pay
my restaurant bills,
get me to Europe,
or a sailboat, I need more.
-Found it!
-Think about it.
Nobody wins forever.
They all start losing some time.
-You could start losing today.
-Maybe not.
But you could.
I can't loan you any more money.
-Yes, maybe you're right.
-Let's have a drink at the bar.
Celebrate what you won.
-Okay.
-I'll get changed.
Let's go.
I'm all in.
Oscar's luck didn't end.
...such as the poor victims
of the war for Karin's building.
While Ariel fail
to brake Eric's heart.
-You must be doing something wrong.
-I'm doing nothing wrong.
She is really in love with your son.
She has eyes for nobody else.
-Impossible. I can't believe it.
-But it's true.
-Did you take a shower?
-Sure I did.
-Got bad breath?
-No, Ariel.
Did you turn away from her,
or scream about a roach?
No, damn it.
I'm telling you she likes the kid.
-I'm telling you I don't believe it.
-You want your money back?
No, I want you to insist.
She'll fall for it.
Fine.
But get some mouthwash
just in case.
Without any alcohol.
Alcohol is bad like that.
Alcohol is for drinking.
Spit it out and it's bad for you.
A few days later we got the news.
The war was over.
Good. Thank you.
And?
The federal and the state
agencies both agree.
On what?
-The land is available. We won!
-Great, Gilmar!
Calm down. Is that final?
Can another agency change that?
-It's final.
-I knew it!
I knew it too.
You all know we tried to solve
the issue the best possible way.
There's only one solution now.
Launching the atomic bomb.
It's not what I wanted, or what anybody
wanted, but it's all we can do.
Let's vote?
All in favor?
Everyone, except Mr. Apache.
Let's launch the bomb.
Stop it, Rodolfo, my husband
suspects something. Forget it.
Just one last time.
Just to say goodbye. Please.
Fine, just to say goodbye.
Betting again, Oscar?
What are you thinking?
You've won some good money.
What if you lose it?
You want to owe money?
You're going to ruin yourself.
I love you, Ariel.
If you love me,
let me sell your love.
-Lock me in.
-What?
Lock my room. Don't let me out.
I can't bet anymore. Don't let me out.
I can beg, promise to give you money.
Don't let me out, okay?
Okay.
-It's a party.
-What time's the party?
-Now.
-An afternoon party?
Why complain?
You're never home!
-I know I'm working a lot, Leticia...
-I'm late, Zanini. Bye!
Okay. See you later, bye.
Where are you going?
-What?
-I'll call you later.
-It's beautiful, Eric.
-Turn it around.
-"E and L."
-Eric and Livia.
-She'll love it.
-How much did it cost?
-Doesn't matter.
-Eric, rule number one.
Only spend on women
the money they give you.
-Just some of it.
-Ridiculous.
No woman deserves the money
other women work for.
It's my money and Livia
deserves much more than this.
Never mind, Eric. He is the greatest
victim of his own sarcasm.
Cesar, that's a great sentence.
So deep.
-Hello.
-You were right, Ariel. I did it.
Excellent. Where are you?
I'm taking her home.
The door will be open.
Good work.
-Eric, I need to show you something.
-What?
It's a surprise, but it's important.
Something you'll never forget.
Okay, fine.
-You're coming with me.
-Okay.
Yuri! Open the door, Yuri!
I just need some water.
There's no endless orgasm, Ariel.
Yuri! Open up!
I did not say endless. I said almost
endless. Take off your clothes.
Open up, Yuri.
Just for a minute.
-No, Oscar, I can't let you out.
-I swear it's not to bet.
Hold on, buddy.
You can do it.
Please, Yuri.
Please open the door!
Eric, I know you don't like
the things I say,
but one day you'll realize
it's better to face the truth,
than to be caught off guard
by a lie.
-You know what's true?
-What?
I'm starting to like you.
I like what you say.
-I'm almost getting to...
-What?
To call you Dad.
And if you're right, if the truth
about things is as awful as you say,
then I'd rather not know.
Seriously, I'd rather live a lie.
I'd rather believe that Livia loves me.
I'd rather believe in spite of
everything, that you can be a good dad.
That's who I am.
How I prefer to live.
Okay, this is it.
This is what
I wanted to show you.
When I was a kid,
my dad brought me here
to have hotdogs at that food cart.
I thought those were
the best hotdogs ever.
I hope you think so too.
I'll have two.
Open up, Yuri!
Come back, Oscar!
-You look beautiful.
-Not here.
What's this, Leticia?
You're cheating on me?
-With this piece of crap?
-Zanini, she's cheating on you?
And you are?
-I'm his woman.
-I'm his wife.
-What?
-What's going on here?
-Sabrina?
-What are you doing here?
-What are you doing here?
-He's my wife's lover.
-Your wife?
-Yes, I'm his wife. Why?
-It's your fault, Sabrina.
-My fault?
You had a lover first.
-You have a lover, Sabrina?
-No, you're my lover.
-Excuse me?
-What?
We're dating. And none of you
have any right to complain.
-Unbelievable.
-You're cheating on me with her?
-What? I'm not his lover.
-No?
Magali, I need you to calm down,
but I'm married.
-With me.
-You too.
Everybody might've been
sleeping with everybody,
but that night,
nobody slept with anybody.
That same evening
Oscar went crazy betting.
He had won enough money
to buy five condos,
but he just wouldn't stop.
He could've stopped.
I need more.
But he didn't.
And he didn't just bet everything
he had, he borrowed more money.
I'm all in.
He owed a lot of money.
And the bastard won again.
It was also that evening,
that the atomic bomb was launched.
Eric, I need you to call Cla...
-What's wrong?
-Livia phoned me.
-And?
-She dumped me.
-On the phone.
-She did?
-She's with another guy.
-I hate saying this, but I warned you.
I'm not giving her up.
-What are you doing? Calm down.
-I'm getting her back.
Take it easy.
Eric! Take it easy!
What a fool!
Does any dad accept his kids
just as they are?
-My dad accepted me.
-He did?
Yes, I mean, he accepted
the person I pretended to be.
-So he didn't really accept you.
-No, but he didn't know that.
The problem is now
he doesn't accept me.
He thinks I'm neither who I pretended
to be, or who I really am.
-What a mess.
-Yes.
-Tell me something.
-What?
Did your dad accept you
when he found out you were gay?
No.
And what did you do
to be accepted by him?
He never did.
Now I can really stop betting.
-We're filthy rich.
-I'll dedicate my movie to Rinaldi.
-It will be a work of art.
-I know, Yuri.
-What will you do?
-Go back to Luna.
-What if she refuses?
-Don't say that, Yuri.
-Please, please. I love you.
-Stop it, Eric.
No, please. Don't dump me.
I know you love me.
-Please, don't leave me.
-Eric, look at me.
And to get rid of him,
Livia told him why they ever met.
If he's shy, you attack...
How did it go with Livia?
Give me a minute.
What happened?
-I'm leaving.
-When will you be back?
-I'm never coming back.
-Why?
-You shouldn't have done that.
-What did I do?
You know what you did.
You know.
I only wanted to help you.
Please forgive me.
I'll never forgive you.
-Eric...
-Bye, Ariel.
Congratulations.
You wanted to harden him?
Well, you did it.
Ariel lost his son.
And soon after, we found out
we had lost everything.
-Polluted?
-Yes, polluted.
-The area is loaded with mercury.
-They did it.
Gilmar and his buddies,
I'm sure of it.
What now?
Now we've got a polluted plot of land,
with no market value,
and we still have to return
forty million to the investors.
-Can't it be decontaminated?
-Yes, for fifteen million.
My God!
They'll take over the club
and we'll still owe them.
-We'll lose everything?
-Yes, everything.
We're screwed.
We screwed Karin's dream.
Karin's dream
turned into a nightmare.
-It's all her fault.
-My fault?
Yes, who's idea was it
to build that tower?
We should've never listened to you.
You ruined everything, girl.
End of episode 12
-Shouldn't we delay the party?
Zanini, do you love me or not?
What's this?
You purchased a tuxedo?
-Did you?
-It's for the party I told you about.
-What party?
-The office organized a custom party.
I take Tomas Zanini
as my spouse.
You didn't speak to me for a while.
I paid my dues. Give me parole.
My husband came for me.
He's downstairs.
I know I got angry,
but I lost 5 million!
Please, Oscar... Stay!
I'll be back when I become
a millionaire. Wait for me.
-Nice meeting you. I'm Livia.
-I'm Eric.
Why didn't you break up
with the kid yesterday?
-Wasn't our agreement?
-I like him. I don't wanna break up.
-I need to go for awhile.
-Have a great trip.
What do we do now?
The building Karin wants
in her family land.
-Wasn't it her dream?
-Sold for 50 million.
-Thanks, girls for being bold.
-It was for Karin.
O NEGOCIO
Season III
Episode 12
MARKET SHARE
Guess what the gold miners
did to the Indians, Gilmar.
-The gold miners?
-Yes, gold miners.
They enslaved them?
Not just that, they separated
the old people, the disabled, kids,
anyone that got in their way.
Guess what they did to them.
-What?
-They killed them.
-And fed them to the dogs.
-The dogs ate them?
Tell me something, Gilmar.
Why feed them to the dogs
if dogs didn't eat them?
How would I know? To hell with it.
Why are you telling me this?
The gold miners enslaved
and killed the Indians.
But nowadays what do we do?
We honor them.
We make monuments of them,
name streets after them.
It's like naming a highway
Suzane von Richthofen.
-What have I got to do with it?
-Nothing, but I sure do.
You know that plot of land
we're building on?
-The huge cathouse?
-It's more than a cathouse, Gilmar.
Okay. So?
The head of the freaking department
of the freaking historic preservation,
wants to stop us
from building anything,
because they found
the ruins of a mud hut,
where some damn miner shat and slept.
Can you believe that?
-History is history, Ariel.
-History is history?
If the bastards declare the land
a historical site,
we'll have to refund
the investors.
Forty million.
Plus the ten million we're overbudget.
-We're screwed, Gilmar.
-What will you do?
I'll take care of it tomorrow.
I'm meeting the director
of the damn agency.
Let's see if he really wants to preserve
the past, or guarantee his future.
Ariel?
-Are you Rick?
-Yes.
Let's have a little chat.
Roger says you're number one
in his agency.
-Great.
-Did he say why I need you?
You're feeling lonely?
No, no, it's not for me.
It's for someone else, a woman.
-I also do a lot of ladies.
-This is no lady.
She's young, pretty,
and with a temper.
She's dating my son. I need to show him
she's not what he thinks.
You want me to seduce her?
Right, seduce her,
get her in bed,
and I'll make sure
my son catches you.
You're totally safe.
The kid's more pacific than the ocean.
-So, what do you think?
-It's beautiful. I love your club.
Great, how about a drink?
The best in Sao Paulo.
I can't, I have to go back
to the art gallery.
Okay.
I'll call you later.
-Have a good one.
-Thanks.
What was that?
-I didn't know you were here.
-Who is she?
-Sabrina.
-Your old friend?
-We're more than friends now.
-What about Zanini?
-He doesn't know.
-Are you lying to him?
Sure, you said lying
is the best solution.
Yes, but I'm not so sure
after losing Chris.
Really?
I've thought about my lies
and the consequences.
My parents, for example.
I've lied to them so much
they don't know who I am.
They don't love me,
but a daughter that doesn't exist.
A daughter I made up.
And I want them to love me
exactly the way I am.
So tell them the truth.
-Yes, I will.
-Seriously?
No, I won't.
Yes, seriously.
I'm telling them.
I've had it with this charade.
"The Man Who Sold Love"
"The Life of Ariel Vidal"
"A movie by Yuri"
-Yuri.
-What?
-I've made up my mind.
-Great.
-Don't you want to hear it?
-Don't you want to tell me?
-Only if you want me to.
-Only if you want to tell me.
I decided I can't wait anymore.
I need to get rich quickly.
We can die any time like Rinaldi
and Greta. There's no time to lose.
Right.
You want to know
how I'll get rich quickly?
You want to tell me?
-By playing poker again.
-With the camera trick?
No, that was a mess.
I'm playing clean.
Yuri, I know how to cheat
and who's cheating. It's what I do best.
-Cool.
-There's just one problem.
I don't have any money.
I need a loan. How about it?
I can't.
I'm saving for my movie.
Yuri, you tried to kill me.
It's the least you can do.
-What about my movie?
-Do you have the money?
-No.
-I'll get rich and pay for it.
There's no time to lose.
We could die anytime.
That's it!
Now unzip your pants.
Done, now what do I do?
Imagine your hand is mine,
slide it down your tummy
just as I would.
-You like that?
-A lot.
Place your other hand
on your breasts.
Touch yourself gently.
Now squeeze hard.
-Damn.
-What?
-My husband's here.
-We'll continue live later.
Yes. I miss you so much!
You got me going too.
Kisses.
-Who were you talking to?
-Sabrina, why?
-Sabrina?
-Yes, Sabrina.
You said you're missing
the person.
-So what?
-You missing Sabrina?
-Can't I?
-Isn't that weird?
-Why would that be?
-I don't know.
Where are you going?
-To work.
-Now?
Yes, I know.
I might sleep at the office.
-Unbelievable.
-What can I do, right?
Stay home.
You just got back from Brasilia.
I know, it's a drag.
I'm sorry.
Zanini.
Have you got a lover?
Don't do that.
I'm the one that suspects you.
-Do you or don't you?
-No, I don't have a lover.
And you? Are you dating somebody?
The truth. Who was that?
-Sabrina.
-You swear?
Fine. I'd better get going.
They both told the truth.
Magali did speak with Sabrina
and Zanini had no lover,
he had a wife.
What's wrong with bribing
the son of a bitch?
It's always better to find
an honest solution first.
What solution?
Promise to adapt the project
to save the miner's house.
Cesar, do you think the head
of that damn agency,
is really concerned
about some shitty hut?
-He just wants money.
-How do you know that?
Unless he's a Buddhist monk.
No amount of cash would suffice.
-We need to offer a lot of money.
-The girls won't like that.
But they'll like
to have the land back.
Eric, it's high time you learned
how to live in society.
Come.
-Leticia.
-Yes, baby?
-I might not be back for dinner.
-Why not?
I might have to stay
at the office tonight.
Really?
Yes, a lot of work piled up
during our honeymoon.
It was worth it, right?
Have you seen my cellphone?
-No, I'll dial your number.
-No! Don't do that.
Here. Real quick.
-There you go.
-I'm running late.
Why do I appear as
Valdo Accountant?
-What?
-It says "Valdo Accountant."
That's weird.
Must be the phone.
My contacts must be mixed up.
I read somewhere that this happens.
I'll fix it later.
Bye. See you.
So, honey.
What did you want to tell me?
-Can you make some coffee?
-First, you said after lunch.
Then you said you'd tell me
after a glass of wine.
Then you said
after another glass of wine.
We had the whole bottle
and still nothing. And now it's coffee?
-Fine, I'll tell you.
-Okay.
But first, you need
to know something.
-What?
-It could affect our relationship.
And Dad could get very upset.
But I need your support.
I need your understanding.
Okay?
Sure, I'm getting worried.
What is it?
You said what?
I was going to tell them,
I tried to tell them,
but when I actually spoke,
something else came out.
You said you're a lesbian?
Yes, maybe I thought about
you and Sabrina.
I can't believe it.
I said I was afraid
they wouldn't accept that,
and that's why I pretended
to like men all these years.
I said I never really dated
Yuri, Oscar and Chris
that they just pretended
they were.
What did she say?
She was surprised, but she's
okay with it. The problem was Dad.
He showed up later
and we told him everything.
He was shocked.
He won't speak to me.
You wanted to be truthful,
so they'd accept you as you are,
and lied again and they
don't accept what you're not?
-Is that it?
-That's right.
I need to make Dad accept me again,
but I have no idea how to do that.
-We're screwed.
-What happened?
-Ariel.
-What about him?
-He's in jail.
-In jail?
The official was very offended.
He turned red and called security.
Ariel said it's part of the plan,
but they cuffed him and arrested him.
Magali, call Zanini,
tell him to get the fool out.
If he answers the phone,
'cause he switches it off
when he's supposedly in a meeting.
-Supposedly?
-I think he has a lover.
Really? Zanini?
Maybe not, but I'll find out
what he's up to.
Zanini? Listen, we need you here.
Ariel's been arrested.
Hold on, let Eric explain.
We'd better speak
with that official ourselves.
I think you're right, Mia.
I'll be back after the game.
-Oscar.
-Yes?
What if you lose my money?
-I won't.
-What if you do?
I won't, I'll win. Trust me.
How could I know he was honest?
I haven't met an honest man in ages.
I thought they were extinct
like the Incas.
They're not extinct, Ariel.
Luckily, there are still
honest people in the world.
Luckily you say? Luckily?
Look at our situation.
We could lose everything.
And if it weren't for Zanini,
I'd still be in jail.
Don't worry,
we'll have a word with him.
We'll explain how important our project
is without mentioning prostitution,
say we support conserving
the nation's historic sites,
and reach some sort
of agreement.
It's your fault he refused to see us.
We had to insist on lunch tomorrow.
I'm glad you did it.
Now I need a favor.
-What favor?
-Don't tell Eric the guy is honest.
That would only confuse the kid,
and I'm trying to help him survive
in this world.
Understand?
"Ariel just had sex
with a beautiful woman."
Ariel, be my pimp.
My dear, I make love.
I do not sell love, okay?
Then be my guest, baby.
-Hey, Yuri.
-How did it go?
-Guess.
-You lost?
-No, I doubled your money.
-And that's not good?
I could've won much more.
Got distracted.
But that's fine,
I'll play tomorrow.
Watch it, Oscar.
Don't lose everything.
Calm down, Yuri.
I know what I'm doing.
-Hello!
-This is Mia.
The next day
we spoke with the head of the historical
sites conservation department.
My whiskey, thank you.
Can we order now?
-We can eat and talk. Is that okay?
-Sure.
During lunch,
we explained our project,
an entertainment center
that would create a lot of jobs,
make the neighborhood safer
and make enough money,
to preserve
not just the miner's hut,
but other historic buildings
in the city.
So if you allow us to build our center,
it's a win-win situation for everybody.
You're so young,
so pretty and intelligent.
It makes me sad
to see ladies like yourselves,
associated with a crook
like that partner of yours.
Ariel didn't mean to...
Can I finish? You've had
your turn, right? Now it's my turn.
Right. Sorry.
When I was your age, I had a boss
who had a sign on his desk.
I never forget it.
The sign said this:
"The crap ends here."
The crap ends here.
Let me tell you something.
This country can't take all this
corruption. Somebody has to say no.
It's time somebody bangs the table
and says, that's it, no more.
So, ladies, that's it. No more.
The crap ends here.
Your partner tried to bribe me
and that's unforgiveable.
The historic legacy process
will continue,
and you won't place
a single stone in that land.
In that case, let's get the check.
We won't take up any more of your time.
Where's the ladies room?
-That way, I think.
-Excuse me.
He might be honest,
but he's a bastard.
-And a jerk.
-I'd like to be corrupt just to bug him.
-Exactly.
-Listen up.
-What?
-I need to tell you something.
Two.
So he had lunch with you guys
to say all that nonsense?
-That's ridiculous!
-Right.
-So he's not helping us.
-No.
That Inca bastard.
-That's the point.
-What is?
-He's not as honest as he seems.
-No?
No, he ordered a 70 reais
single malt.
So what?
I paid for it and had it
deleted from the check.
-So what?
-He saw it and paid his share.
So what, damn it?
He didn't say
the whiskey was missing.
He looked the other way.
The guy's no Inca.
The miner's hut is a lie.
Somebody paid him
to stop us from building there.
Who would do that?
Nobody knows about it.
A few clients know about it.
And they're in favor of it.
Did we tell anyone else?
-I didn't.
-Me neither.
-I didn't tell anybody.
-Me neither.
-I only told...
-Who, Ariel?
-But he's not somebody...
-Who, Ariel?
-Gilmar.
-Gilmar?
Yes, Gilmar, that jerk.
What's the problem?
Why would he hurt us?
It makes no sense.
-Isn't he a pimp?
-Yes, so what?
Have you heard about
the market reservation law?
Son of a bitch!
Tell me the truth, you bastard!
-Let me go.
-Talk or I'll break your neck!
Let me go and I'll talk.
Speak up.
I was against it,
but they had more votes.
What are you talking about?
The news about the building
had everybody worried.
Who is everybody?
Everybody, Kiko Pomada,
Mister Apache,
Manuel Irigaray,
Paulo Perninha, everybody.
Perninha called
an emergency meeting.
He said the building
would ruin everybody,
just like Blockbuster ruined
all the video rental shops.
So we voted to stop
the construction or not.
I voted against it.
Me and Mister Apache.
Mister Apache likes you.
He always has.
I expected the pastors
to be against it,
the priests, the blue-haired old ladies.
The white-haired feminists.
The only people I never thought
would be against it are the pimps.
How can guys that make a living
from sex be against even more sex?
Nobody likes competition, Ariel.
I want you
to take a message to them.
What message?
Tell them I am willing
to negotiate a price
for them to forget
the whole thing.
-That won't work.
-How would you know?
They think they'll be put
out of business.
You think they'll sell out
for a new car? No.
Then, give them
another message.
What?
There'll be war.
Tell them we're now at war.
The next day,
the war's first missiles were launched.
The first one hit a history professor,
one of the most influential members
of the conservation agency.
He had already heard
about escorts.
Now he had solid proof
that they really existed.
The Axis of Evil
counterattacked soon after
fatally striking one
of the agency's city planners.
Meanwhile, another war,
a cold war that is,
was brewing
somewhere else in town.
Leticia got more and more
suspicious of Zanini,
and decided to launch
Operation Valdo Accountant.
And Zanini decided to launch
Operation Sabrina's Identity.
I'm going out with Magali.
See you later.
And Sabrina's husband launched
Operation I hope it's Magali.
I'm looking for a guest, Thomas Zanini.
Can I have his room number?
-Is there another last name?
-No.
Bad day?
My husband's cheating on me.
How about that?
-With my wife, maybe?
-She's cheating on you?
Yes, as we speak, right here,
in one of these 350 rooms.
We just got back
from our honeymoon.
-Really?
-Yes.
A guy went on a cruise
for his honeymoon.
While his wife slept
he picked up girls at the bar.
But he didn't know his wife
was having another guy's baby.
-Why are men such bastards?
-Why are women so heartless?
-I have a heart.
-I am no bastard.
How many cheaters
are in this hotel right now?
I don't know.
We should add
to the list.
Payback against bastard men
and heartless women.
Yes.
The next few days
the war with the pimps intensified.
Anybody who had any influence in the
decisions of the conservation agency,
became a victim of a war that was
both intolerant and senseless.
Gentlemen.
Who votes yes?
We won the battle
at the municipal level.
But then our enemies
invaded the entire state.
Three agencies can make
the land a historic site.
The state, the city,
and the federal government.
If we lose any of those three,
we'd lose the war.
So we need to use
all our fire power.
We need to send all our girls
to the front line.
It's the hundred-year war.
It's the one-thousand tits war.
While we struggled to save
everything we owned,
Oscar struggled to win
as much as he could.
I'm all in.
Show your hand.
Leticia kept trying to find out
if Zanini had a lover.
You didn't say
what client it was.
You didn't say
who saw me at the hotel.
-Why do you care who saw you?
-Why do you care what client it was?
I want to know.
You think I didn't go there
to meet a client?
Who do you think I met,
a lover?
For God's sake.
We were just married.
That means that after a while
you can have a lover?
No, it's not that.
Even the worst cheaters don't have
lovers right after their honeymoon.
A guy waited for his wife
to fall asleep,
during their honeymoon on a cruise,
to pick up girls at the bar.
That's such a lie.
While she tried to find out if Zanini
had a lover, she had one herself.
I told you not to call me
at this time.
Don't talk like that.
No, I don't know
if I want to see you again.
Fine, but I can't promise
anything.
What were you doing in there?
-Who, me?
-Yes, you.
-I needed some water.
-With your cell phone?
I had it with me.
-Where's the water?
-I changed my mind.
Things weren't any different
at Sabrina's place.
Get this in your head,
Rodolfo.
While I'm with you,
I'll never have sex with another guy.
Okay?
"I want to squeeze you."
"You're crazy."
-Let's watch the movie?
-Sure.
-Why did you put it upside down?
-What?
And Sabrina started suspecting
the cuckold also cheated.
Ariel sighs.
I am tired.
I'm going to bed.
"Ariel opens the door to the room.
Twenty naked women look at him.
They all talk at the same time."
Be my pimp, Ariel.
-You saw my car keys?
-Betting again?
-Shouldn't I?
-What do you think?
I don't know.
Oscar, you won enough
to buy a condo.
Condos won't pay
my restaurant bills,
get me to Europe,
or a sailboat, I need more.
-Found it!
-Think about it.
Nobody wins forever.
They all start losing some time.
-You could start losing today.
-Maybe not.
But you could.
I can't loan you any more money.
-Yes, maybe you're right.
-Let's have a drink at the bar.
Celebrate what you won.
-Okay.
-I'll get changed.
Let's go.
I'm all in.
Oscar's luck didn't end.
...such as the poor victims
of the war for Karin's building.
While Ariel fail
to brake Eric's heart.
-You must be doing something wrong.
-I'm doing nothing wrong.
She is really in love with your son.
She has eyes for nobody else.
-Impossible. I can't believe it.
-But it's true.
-Did you take a shower?
-Sure I did.
-Got bad breath?
-No, Ariel.
Did you turn away from her,
or scream about a roach?
No, damn it.
I'm telling you she likes the kid.
-I'm telling you I don't believe it.
-You want your money back?
No, I want you to insist.
She'll fall for it.
Fine.
But get some mouthwash
just in case.
Without any alcohol.
Alcohol is bad like that.
Alcohol is for drinking.
Spit it out and it's bad for you.
A few days later we got the news.
The war was over.
Good. Thank you.
And?
The federal and the state
agencies both agree.
On what?
-The land is available. We won!
-Great, Gilmar!
Calm down. Is that final?
Can another agency change that?
-It's final.
-I knew it!
I knew it too.
You all know we tried to solve
the issue the best possible way.
There's only one solution now.
Launching the atomic bomb.
It's not what I wanted, or what anybody
wanted, but it's all we can do.
Let's vote?
All in favor?
Everyone, except Mr. Apache.
Let's launch the bomb.
Stop it, Rodolfo, my husband
suspects something. Forget it.
Just one last time.
Just to say goodbye. Please.
Fine, just to say goodbye.
Betting again, Oscar?
What are you thinking?
You've won some good money.
What if you lose it?
You want to owe money?
You're going to ruin yourself.
I love you, Ariel.
If you love me,
let me sell your love.
-Lock me in.
-What?
Lock my room. Don't let me out.
I can't bet anymore. Don't let me out.
I can beg, promise to give you money.
Don't let me out, okay?
Okay.
-It's a party.
-What time's the party?
-Now.
-An afternoon party?
Why complain?
You're never home!
-I know I'm working a lot, Leticia...
-I'm late, Zanini. Bye!
Okay. See you later, bye.
Where are you going?
-What?
-I'll call you later.
-It's beautiful, Eric.
-Turn it around.
-"E and L."
-Eric and Livia.
-She'll love it.
-How much did it cost?
-Doesn't matter.
-Eric, rule number one.
Only spend on women
the money they give you.
-Just some of it.
-Ridiculous.
No woman deserves the money
other women work for.
It's my money and Livia
deserves much more than this.
Never mind, Eric. He is the greatest
victim of his own sarcasm.
Cesar, that's a great sentence.
So deep.
-Hello.
-You were right, Ariel. I did it.
Excellent. Where are you?
I'm taking her home.
The door will be open.
Good work.
-Eric, I need to show you something.
-What?
It's a surprise, but it's important.
Something you'll never forget.
Okay, fine.
-You're coming with me.
-Okay.
Yuri! Open the door, Yuri!
I just need some water.
There's no endless orgasm, Ariel.
Yuri! Open up!
I did not say endless. I said almost
endless. Take off your clothes.
Open up, Yuri.
Just for a minute.
-No, Oscar, I can't let you out.
-I swear it's not to bet.
Hold on, buddy.
You can do it.
Please, Yuri.
Please open the door!
Eric, I know you don't like
the things I say,
but one day you'll realize
it's better to face the truth,
than to be caught off guard
by a lie.
-You know what's true?
-What?
I'm starting to like you.
I like what you say.
-I'm almost getting to...
-What?
To call you Dad.
And if you're right, if the truth
about things is as awful as you say,
then I'd rather not know.
Seriously, I'd rather live a lie.
I'd rather believe that Livia loves me.
I'd rather believe in spite of
everything, that you can be a good dad.
That's who I am.
How I prefer to live.
Okay, this is it.
This is what
I wanted to show you.
When I was a kid,
my dad brought me here
to have hotdogs at that food cart.
I thought those were
the best hotdogs ever.
I hope you think so too.
I'll have two.
Open up, Yuri!
Come back, Oscar!
-You look beautiful.
-Not here.
What's this, Leticia?
You're cheating on me?
-With this piece of crap?
-Zanini, she's cheating on you?
And you are?
-I'm his woman.
-I'm his wife.
-What?
-What's going on here?
-Sabrina?
-What are you doing here?
-What are you doing here?
-He's my wife's lover.
-Your wife?
-Yes, I'm his wife. Why?
-It's your fault, Sabrina.
-My fault?
You had a lover first.
-You have a lover, Sabrina?
-No, you're my lover.
-Excuse me?
-What?
We're dating. And none of you
have any right to complain.
-Unbelievable.
-You're cheating on me with her?
-What? I'm not his lover.
-No?
Magali, I need you to calm down,
but I'm married.
-With me.
-You too.
Everybody might've been
sleeping with everybody,
but that night,
nobody slept with anybody.
That same evening
Oscar went crazy betting.
He had won enough money
to buy five condos,
but he just wouldn't stop.
He could've stopped.
I need more.
But he didn't.
And he didn't just bet everything
he had, he borrowed more money.
I'm all in.
He owed a lot of money.
And the bastard won again.
It was also that evening,
that the atomic bomb was launched.
Eric, I need you to call Cla...
-What's wrong?
-Livia phoned me.
-And?
-She dumped me.
-On the phone.
-She did?
-She's with another guy.
-I hate saying this, but I warned you.
I'm not giving her up.
-What are you doing? Calm down.
-I'm getting her back.
Take it easy.
Eric! Take it easy!
What a fool!
Does any dad accept his kids
just as they are?
-My dad accepted me.
-He did?
Yes, I mean, he accepted
the person I pretended to be.
-So he didn't really accept you.
-No, but he didn't know that.
The problem is now
he doesn't accept me.
He thinks I'm neither who I pretended
to be, or who I really am.
-What a mess.
-Yes.
-Tell me something.
-What?
Did your dad accept you
when he found out you were gay?
No.
And what did you do
to be accepted by him?
He never did.
Now I can really stop betting.
-We're filthy rich.
-I'll dedicate my movie to Rinaldi.
-It will be a work of art.
-I know, Yuri.
-What will you do?
-Go back to Luna.
-What if she refuses?
-Don't say that, Yuri.
-Please, please. I love you.
-Stop it, Eric.
No, please. Don't dump me.
I know you love me.
-Please, don't leave me.
-Eric, look at me.
And to get rid of him,
Livia told him why they ever met.
If he's shy, you attack...
How did it go with Livia?
Give me a minute.
What happened?
-I'm leaving.
-When will you be back?
-I'm never coming back.
-Why?
-You shouldn't have done that.
-What did I do?
You know what you did.
You know.
I only wanted to help you.
Please forgive me.
I'll never forgive you.
-Eric...
-Bye, Ariel.
Congratulations.
You wanted to harden him?
Well, you did it.
Ariel lost his son.
And soon after, we found out
we had lost everything.
-Polluted?
-Yes, polluted.
-The area is loaded with mercury.
-They did it.
Gilmar and his buddies,
I'm sure of it.
What now?
Now we've got a polluted plot of land,
with no market value,
and we still have to return
forty million to the investors.
-Can't it be decontaminated?
-Yes, for fifteen million.
My God!
They'll take over the club
and we'll still owe them.
-We'll lose everything?
-Yes, everything.
We're screwed.
We screwed Karin's dream.
Karin's dream
turned into a nightmare.
-It's all her fault.
-My fault?
Yes, who's idea was it
to build that tower?
We should've never listened to you.
You ruined everything, girl.
