The Business (2013–2018): Season 3, Episode 13 - Business Game - full transcript
Little Monster is having an affair.
-Serious? Zanini?
-Who are you?
-His woman.
-I'm his woman.
It's your fault, Sabrina.
You found a lover first.
-You've a lover?
-You are!
What?
-Please, Oscar, stay.
-I'll be back a millionaire.
Wait for me.
I wanna thank you,
for being sincere yesterday.
-But...
-It was too late.
-Are you doing the DNA test?
-Yes.
Why didn't you break up
with the boy? Didn't we agree?
-Please, I love you.
-Eric, stop it.
I wanted to help you.
Please, forgive me.
I won't.
-I've to go away for awhile.
-What we do now?
Build a tower in Karin's
family land.
-Sold for $50 million.
-Are you nuts?
Our land is now contaminated,
interdicted, with no market value,
and a debt of $40 million
to the investors.
-Are we losing everything?
-Yes, we're.
We shouldn't had listened to you.
You destroyed us, girl.
O NEGOCIO
Season III
BUSINESS GAME
Episode 13
There will be consequences.
There will be a price to pay.
You're life will change completely.
Are you sure
you wanna go ahead with this?
-There must be something we can do.
-What?
Don't know,
but has to be.
I don't know what we can do,
only what we can't do.
-What?
-Listen to Mia again.
Yes, if she hadn't convinced us
to build that tower,
none of this would be happening.
And they say she's a genius.
The dumbest genius ever.
-I have an idea.
-Forget it, Mia.
Seriously, I know how to get
enough money,
to pay our investors,
decontaminate the land,
and build the tower
at the same time.
What's the plan? Convincing everyone
that Monopoly money is real?
No.
I know, building a time machine
with Cesar's Passat,
go back in time
and ignore you, right?
-Can I finish?
-No, Mia, we've heard enough.
We've lost enough
as it is.
Calm down, girls.
I know we're all upset.
But we need to hear her out.
-I agree with the faggot.
-Ok, go ahead.
Ever heard about
Giancarlo Tardelli?
-The Italian billionaire?
-Yes.
Never heard of him.
He owns the world's largest
videogame company.
-He's worth 9.7 billion dollars.
-And?
He's known to invest
in daring projects,
like a lab that researches
hallucinogens.
His construction company, is working on
a liberal city in the ocean,
and finances a company
that makes robot sex dolls,
with the latest technology.
He lives in Rio de Janeiro.
Why don't we talk to him?
I'm sure if he hears about our Blue
Building, he'll want to invest in it.
I'll stick with
the time machine.
I'm serious, Magali.
Does anyone have a better idea?
Or should we just sit here
and lose everything?
Mia's right. Let's give it a try.
What's there to lose if we fail?
I agree with the faggot again.
Let's give it a try.
I can't believe we're going to Rio
to try to convince a crazy billionaire
to finance an even crazier woman's plan.
Isn't that weird?
When we're with Mia in that room,
we'll be the most normal people
in the room.
That's never happened before.
No. Could you get my blazer for me?
The one with the shoulder pads.
This one?
Did Zanini move out?
He married someone,
but is mad about Sabrina.
-Can you believe that?
-That's so crazy.
Zanini's married to the lover
of your lover's husband?
What could be crazier than that?
-I'll tell you what's crazier.
-What?
Think about it. I wanted
to have Zanini and Sabrina.
Zanini wanted to have me
and his wife.
His wife wanted Zanini
and Sabrina's husband.
And Sabrina's husband
wanted her and Zanini's wife.
And Sabrina wanted me
and her husband.
Now we've all split up and
we're all alone. That's even crazier.
Almost as crazy
as listening to Mia again.
Let's go.
We're here to see Giancarlo Tardelli.
Mia, Luna and Magali.
-Please have a seat.
-Thanks.
Roberto Matutschek
to see Giancarlo.
One moment.
I'm sorry, you need to make
an appointment.
Tell him it's the Bishop Master
from the chess chat room.
He'll be right with you.
Can you wait a little?
Sure.
-Mia, Luna and Magali?
-Yes.
I'm Nuno, Giancarlo's PA.
I'll take your project.
We'd rather hand it to him
personally.
-Yes.
-I'm sorry, he's very busy.
But I guarantee
we'll take a good look.
-Can't he even spare five minutes?
-It's a very important project.
He won't regret it, trust me.
Impossible.
But you can leave it with me.
When will he see it if we give it
to you? It's an emergency.
The board of directors
have to see it first.
They give it to Giancarlo
if it's approved.
But our budget is used up
until next year,
so you'd have to wait
at least two years.
-We can't wait two years.
-Not even a year.
I'm sorry you can't wait.
Are you totally sure
your budget is used up?
Yes, I am. There's nothing
I can do for you. Excuse me.
Great,
that's all we had to lose, time.
-It's back to the airport.
-No. Let's go to a hotel.
-A hotel?
-We still have one chance.
We can't leave
if we still have a chance.
What chance?
I can't believe we're in a chess
chat room, with the Bishop Master.
-He'll take us to Giancarlo.
-I hope so.
-Bishop Master, I need your help.
-What kind of help?
-I want to play Giancarlo.
-Nobody plays with him.
Giancarlo plays with everybody.
He chooses his rivals.
He's the best player
in the chat room.
-No, he is not. I am the best.
-He hasn't lost a game in years.
Tell everybody he'll lose.
Shall we play?
Okay.
And Mia literally destroyed
the Bishop Master.
You've called Eric.
Please leave a message.
Eric, this is your dad.
Your real dad, Ariel.
I just wanted to tell you,
that parenthood is a very tough job.
There are new theories
about it every single day.
It's a very controversial issue.
And maybe, in an effort to give you
the best possible education,
I might have gone
a little too far.
But who hasn't?
I organized a party
for the Dalai Lama once.
And I'll never forget
what the Dalai Lama said,
in his swimsuit at the pool
with a bunch of hookers.
He said to me: "Ariel, even worse
than making a mistake,
is not forgiving that mistake".
So, think about it. Think about it
and call me. Please, call me.
And?
He won't take my calls.
I phoned him more than 15 times.
Don't worry, kids don't take their
parents' calls even if they like them,
much less if you're the dad.
What can I do?
He will call sooner or later,
if you don't say anything dumb.
-Are you being dumb?
-Of course not. Why would I?
She played against
the entire chat room.
And beat the entire chat room.
And then...
This is Giancarlo.
He took the bait.
-Hi Giancarlo.
-Let's play.
-With one condition.
-What condition?
If I win, you'll take a look
at my project, in person.
-Did he change his mind?
-I don't know.
Agreed.
-You have to beat him now.
-I know.
-Who's winning?
-Mia.
-Now, who's winning?
-Giancarlo.
I did it!
Who won?
It's not over yet,
but I'm winning.
He took the bait.
He'll lose in six more moves.
-Who lost?
-Nobody yet.
Giancarlo lost.
In a little while.
No.
I fell in his trap.
He knew I'd try to trick him,
so he pretended I did to trick me.
Now he thinks
I'll know that I lost in 4 moves.
But he's wrong.
I already know.
-So you lost?
-Did you really lose?
-Yes, I will lose in a little while.
-Wait, you haven't lost yet.
There must be something
you can do.
-There isn't.
-What now?
It's over.
Congratulations, Giancarlo.
You win.
You played well.
Wait.
There is something you can do.
What?
-Giancarlo?
-Yes?
This is who almost beat you.
I want to see your project. How about
a weekend at my country house?
Checkmate!
The next day,
Giancarlo's driver picked us up.
If he won't build the tower,
at least we'll have fun.
We could lose the club
by Tuesday,
but at least we'll have
two days of fun.
-Our own party at Fiscal Island.
-Our last Martini before Prohibition.
Right.
-Isn't this beautiful?
-Beautiful and remote.
-Hi there. Welcome.
-Thanks.
Let's play a little game.
I guess who's Luna, Mia and Magali,
and you guess who's Giancarlo.
Okay.
-Mia. Luna. Magali.
-Giancarlo.
Close.
Armando, show them their rooms.
Make yourselves comfortable
and rest a little.
Meet me in the dining room
in one hour, okay?
Sure.
Great, I'm looking forward
to seeing your project.
Please make yourselves at home.
Excuse me.
Before dinner, we worked on making
the best presentation ever.
Mia went over the tower's
main characteristics,
and we went over the main
characteristics of our anatomy.
This isn't about building a tower.
It's about making history.
Some say it's the project of
a megalomaniac. And they're right.
It's such a huge project that can only
be built by someone even greater.
I haven't heard
such a crazy idea in ages.
-Or such a great idea either.
-You like it?
-I love it.
-Great.
It's funny, though. Ask anyone
what they prefer, Velásquez or sex,
Canaletto or sex,
Holbein, The Elder or sex,
and they'll all answer sex.
But we build
monumental museums,
while brothels are hidden away
in dark corners.
It's the same with everything.
We build soccer stadiums
for 60,000 people,
huge theatres for plays
like Miss Saigon,
or malls with 400 stores,
while brothels are always
hidden away somewhere.
How come?
Open any history book,
you'll see that we were always
more sexually liberal than nowadays.
Now we're a bunch of prudes.
We act like the prudish grandparents,
of our own ancestors.
But why?
It's time to change that.
It's time to get out of the shadows.
It's time to be what we were before.
Like Giuseppe Verdi said,
let's go back to the past
in order to advance.
-You'll invest in it?
-Perhaps.
I need to work on it
a little more.
But it's an excellent idea.
I'm excited about it.
I'd like to show you something.
Follow me.
This record player is my favorite item.
It was the best one in the seventies.
Let me play you something.
In a book by Aldous Huxley,
there's an aristocrat, Lord Edwards.
He was experimenting on frogs
in the cellar of his palace,
when he heard
some very soft music playing.
He listened very carefully
and whispered "Bach."
He rushed out of the cellar
and up the stairs,
with his apron
covered in blood,
and listened in ecstasy
to the concert,
his wife was promoting
in the palace.
This is the music he heard.
Isn't it amazing?
But even so,
it's still not better than sex.
Okay.
Now I need to retire.
I'm calling it a day. Great project.
-Thank you.
-Good night.
-Good night.
-Good night.
-He loved it.
-We'll get the money!
We won't need to fuck him.
We won't have to fuck him?
You were right, Mia.
Congratulations.
-Yes, Mia. Congrats.
-Thanks.
I propose a toast.
To Karin, wherever she may be.
-Hey. Sorry if I scared you.
-That's okay. No problem.
-We need to talk privately.
-About what?
When I said I loved the project,
I meant it, it's awesome.
-But I think we have a problem.
-What problem?
The idea is better
than the team you have.
I don't think you ladies have the
knowhow, to handle such a huge project.
I had my people
investigate all three of you.
Luna's a pathological liar
and Magali is irresponsible.
It's a lot of money
to put in their hands.
And the idea was yours.
What do we need them for?
We don't need them.
We can build that tower without them.
No, they're part of this.
We're in this together.
It's either us three
or none of us.
Are you sure?
I can give you 200 million right now.
I'm positive.
That attitude
lasts less than a dragonfly.
But if you should change your mind
this weekend, please use this.
And I'll find a way to speak to you
privately, without upsetting the girls.
-This is one crazy place.
-Yes.
-Does your phone work?
-Not since we hit the road.
Mine neither.
What about the Internet?
No, I can't get a connection
since I woke up.
Damn it.
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
-Have you seen Giancarlo?
-No.
We haven't seen anybody
in about an hour.
I'm starved.
Me too.
Let's check out the kitchen.
There's nothing here.
-Nothing here.
-That's weird.
-That's all there is.
-A candle and matches?
-Is there another kitchen?
-No idea. Let's look for somebody.
-There's nobody here.
-What if he's in his room?
He could be there.
Giancarlo.
Giancarlo.
The cars are gone too.
-This is freaking me out.
-Maybe they're getting some breakfast.
Maybe they burned everything
and went to get more stuff.
They're not getting breakfast,
but they went to do something.
-Yes, they did.
-Mia, is your phone working?
-No.
-And the Internet?
I get claustrophobic
without the Internet.
The world is smaller
than a shoebox without it.
-What do we do now?
-Wait and see if somebody shows up.
-I'm hungry.
-Me too.
-What time is it?
-Five thirty.
That clock says 5:30 since yesterday.
-That one says 5:30 too.
-Wait.
The clock in the kitchen
says 5:30 too.
-Something's wrong.
-Something's very wrong.
-What do we do?
-I don't know.
What if Giancarlo's crazy,
a psycho?
What if he shows up
with an axe, a chainsaw?
Stop it. You're scaring me.
I'm not scaring you.
It's this whole thing.
-I know what to do.
-What?
Let's walk through the forest
and find someone to help us.
-I have a better idea.
-Do you, really?
You got us in a mess,
and we heard you again,
just to make matters even worse.
-Can I speak or not?
-Go ahead.
-We can stand on the roof.
-On the roof?
To see what's the best way
out of here.
Who's climbing up?
The last time I tried climbing
I got 7 stitches on my head.
Fine, I'll do it.
So?
Magali, say something!
-We're screwed.
-What?
-We're screwed!
-Why? What can you see?
-Nothing!
-What do you mean nothing?
Nothing, just trees as far as I can see.
We're screwed!
-Screwed.
-What now?
I'm hungry and cold
in this forest, we're dead.
-Wait!
-Can you see something?
-I can see a number.
-What kind of number?
A number on the ground
made with flowers.
It's only visible from here,
but it's clearly a number.
-What number is it?
-Five hundred thirty.
The same number the clocks say.
Five thirty.
What does it mean?
Why is that number all over the house?
Why did Giancarlo vanish?
Why is there no food?
Why? Why?
Maybe something
will happen at 5:30?
It's way past 5:30.
-What if...
-What?
What if we're found dead
at 5:30 tomorrow?
-Stop it, you're scaring me.
-It's not me. It's this whole thing.
-Maybe...
-Maybe what?
-Just maybe.
-Maybe what, Mia?
Maybe there's something
on the 530 dial.
Nice playing. The die is cast.
Hi, this is Giancarlo.
You are now playing my game.
The prize is the money
for your project.
You need to prove
you're as good as your idea.
You have until Monday sundown,
to get to my office, in Rio de Janeiro.
The clues will take you there.
Be careful. Any mistake could be fatal.
Good luck. The die is cast.
Hi, this is Giancarlo...
He is kidding, right?
He can't be serious.
Giancarlo is nuts.
He is totally nuts!
-What do we do?
-All we can do is panic.
-Let's use that as plan B.
-What's plan A?
What's plan A, Mia?
-Going along with it.
-You can't be serious.
-What is this, find the treasure?
-You got a better idea?
There has to be a clue
somewhere.
-Julius Caesar.
-What about him?
He said the die is cast.
-We need to find the key.
-Unbelievable.
It's somewhere in here.
-I don't know where else to look.
-Me neither.
I'm so hungry and I'm freezing.
Gum for dinner anyone?
I've got three. One each.
-Here.
-Thanks.
This is just great, right?
This game is awesome.
We either make millions or die.
Just awesome.
Didn't he mention a book
by Huxley when he played this?
I think so, why?
The clue to find the key
could be in the book.
I found it!
-It's a trick.
-Don't say that.
I don't believe it. Now what?
Wasn't there a candle
in the kitchen?
Yes! Good thing
we didn't eat it.
I'm sleepy, cold, thirsty and hungry.
And all I can do now is sleep.
-Let's get some sleep?
-We'd better get some rest.
-Who keeps the candle?
-All of us. We'd better stay together.
-I'll get a blanket from the bedroom.
-I'm coming too.
Me too.
Magali.
Mia.
It's morning.
Let's look for the key.
-That's it. I'm not searching anymore.
-You'd rather do plan B?
No, I'd rather get out of here.
Let's leave in the daytime.
It's our only chance.
-We'll never find the key.
-Hold on, Luna.
The book wasn't a trick.
A map!
Let's go.
We're here.
A car!
-It's locked.
-Let's smash the window.
We can't smash it, Luna.
It's bulletproof.
Unbelievable.
What a bastard!
-We need to find the key.
-Where?
I don't know, there has to be
a clue somewhere.
What clue? Where?
I have no idea.
We need to use our heads.
-I've had it with this crap.
-Me too.
-Any ideas?
-No.
See what you did now?
We'll die here because of you.
-I just wanted to help.
-Help?
Since the day we met you,
you've harmed us.
You ruined everything
it took us years to get.
Yes, Mia, congrats.
You've ruined everything.
Karin thought
we could work as a team.
She made one big mistake in her life,
and that is you.
I thought you guys
were as special as Karin.
But I was wrong. Very wrong.
You are nobody without her.
You're worth nothing
without her.
-You know what I think?
-What?
Mia wanted to replace Karin
and kick us out of the club.
Think, first there was
that new Karin thing.
Then she found a way
to charge more than us.
Then, Karin left all of a sudden.
Didn't she convince Karin?
That makes sense.
Then the new tower. Why?
She's after Karin's dream.
That's awful.
-We need to get her dream back.
-Yes.
Giancarlo was right to leave her out.
And we said no.
Yes, but it's time to say yes.
Mine's right here.
-You think there are cameras here?
-Somewhere, I guess.
He said to wear them during
the weekend, and he'd see, right?
-Right.
-So, there are cameras.
-Can I confess something?
-What?
-I was starting to like Mia.
-Me too.
We can't stab her in the back.
We need to do it face to face.
Before wearing the necklace,
we kick her out of the club,
face to face.
Yes, that's the right thing
to do.
Mia.
She's not here.
Okay, then.
We'll have to be backstabbers.
Let's get it over with.
-Hold on.
-What?
He talked to her too.
She'd never put it in the trash
to think it over.
No.
Forgive us, Mia.
We were wrong about you.
Yes, we shouldn't have
yelled at you.
Yelling at you was a mistake.
And we almost made a bigger mistake.
-A much bigger one.
-What mistake?
He proposed the same thing
to you guys.
So it's part of the game.
There must be a clue in there.
What if...
Hi there.
How was your weekend?
Excellent,
I did all my favorite things.
I was hungry, thirsty and cold
and couldn't get online.
Where's that mud from?
The car got stuck.
We almost didn't make it.
-Not a nice experience.
-Forgive me. I had to do that.
What for?
I had to see
if you can work together.
If you're persistent
and incorruptible.
If you can work as a team.
And if together you can face
the greatest adversities.
In other words, if together you can
develop such a daring enterprise,
deal with all the criticism
and never give up.
Why didn't you just ask?
Sorry, I didn't think of that.
Okay, we did it.
How do we get the money?
Take it easy.
The test isn't done yet.
What do you mean?
No, there's one more test.
Just one more.
No, that's it! Keep your money.
This game is over.
Let's go.
They passed the test.
We took our flight back to Sao Paulo,
then went home to rest.
With a few pounds less
and a few million reais more.
-You startled me, Oscar!
-Ariel told me you were back.
-So you decided to break in again?
-Yes, I did.
May I ask why?
Come here.
Come here.
See that car?
The Aston Martin?
-What about it?
-It's mine.
-Yours?
-Yes.
See that rooftop apartment
across the street?
Guess who owns it.
-Who?
-It's mine.
-Seriously, Oscar?
-Yes, I did it, Luna. I'm rich.
Guess who this is for.
It's yours.
I'm back, Luna,
I came back for you.
Will you marry me?
I wasn't sure I should go back
to Oscar or not.
So many things happened
since we separated.
Magali was very sure
she missed Zanini very much.
The bonobo is the animal, that's
genetically closest to human beings.
But they are more peaceful.
They never fight
and have sex with each other.
For these adorable
bons vivants of the wild,
copulation is much more
than a means of reproduction.
That evening, Magali learned
that in a bonobo community,
everybody has sex with everybody
and everybody's happy.
She had an idea.
What if she organized
a community like the bononos?
A society of peace and love.
A society in which she, Zanini, Leticia,
Sabrina and Sabrina's husband,
could have sex with one another,
without all the lying and cheating.
Exhausted by a whole afternoon
of lovemaking,
our friends get ready, for a
well-deserved good night's sleep.
The kid finally calmed down.
Time to bury the hatchet.
-Eric.
-Ariel, pay attention.
-What?
-Don't call me anymore.
Stop calling me, okay?
Don't ever call me again.
-He hasn't calmed down?
-No.
Fuck it.
He isn't even my kid.
-What, Ariel?
-He's not.
I forged the test results.
I bribed the guy at the lab.
-You did what?
-I wanted a son.
Cibele said he was mine
and I believed her.
I got accustomed to it.
But he wasn't.
-So I made him mine.
-I can't believe it.
But it's business as usual.
Let's celebrate the fact
that the girls saved the club,
and we're building the tower.
I drink to that.
The next day, I decided I wanted
to stay with Oscar.
But first I had to totally
forget about Chris.
And Magali started making the first
enquiries, to organize her community.
Zanini, give me a call
whenever you can.
I have an idea.
An amazing idea.
It might seem crazy,
but if you think about it,
you'll see it's
exactly what we need.
Mia asked Giancarlo for a rematch,
swearing she'd win this time.
She lost.
Cesar hired a company
to decontaminate the land.
Can you email me the agreement?
We need to rush.
Ariel had too much to drink,
and blacked out on the couch
after a speech
about the benefits of being alone.
And that's when...
What's that fucking noise?
Will somebody take the call?
I'll get it.
It's Karin.
It's Karin!
I'll call you back.
Did you have
to disconnect your phone?
And ignore our emails?
I needed to be totally isolated.
And it's not over yet.
What do you mean?
I just came to speak with you.
I'll be in Germany tomorrow.
-What?
-Talk about what?
-What are you talking about?
-Calm down, I will explain.
-Go ahead.
-I spoke to nobody for a long time.
I needed that silence,
and I thought a lot about my life.
After a lot of thought
I knew what I had to do.
And what I need to do
is dedicate my entire life,
to fight against the prejudice
against sex workers.
But how?
I had an idea to start the debate.
To turn my story into a book.
I wrote a draft called "Why not?"
I took it to one of the biggest
publishers in Germany.
They liked the idea
and promised to contact me.
They called me yesterday.
The answer is yes.
They want to launch
my book globally.
But before I start
working on my book,
I need to decide something
with you guys.
Part of my story,
the best part of my story,
is what I had with you.
We've been through
a lot together.
We struggled a lot together.
We suffered together.
We celebrated together.
And together we built a company,
that nobody thought
that could work. And it did.
I'd like to tell our story
in that book so much,
but I know the price
could be too high.
So if you prefer, I can write another
version of our story to protect you.
Whatever you want.
What do you think?
Karin.
We'll let you tell the truth
about all of us,
only if you include
another chapter in your book.
-What chapter?
-It's called "The Building."
End of season III
-Serious? Zanini?
-Who are you?
-His woman.
-I'm his woman.
It's your fault, Sabrina.
You found a lover first.
-You've a lover?
-You are!
What?
-Please, Oscar, stay.
-I'll be back a millionaire.
Wait for me.
I wanna thank you,
for being sincere yesterday.
-But...
-It was too late.
-Are you doing the DNA test?
-Yes.
Why didn't you break up
with the boy? Didn't we agree?
-Please, I love you.
-Eric, stop it.
I wanted to help you.
Please, forgive me.
I won't.
-I've to go away for awhile.
-What we do now?
Build a tower in Karin's
family land.
-Sold for $50 million.
-Are you nuts?
Our land is now contaminated,
interdicted, with no market value,
and a debt of $40 million
to the investors.
-Are we losing everything?
-Yes, we're.
We shouldn't had listened to you.
You destroyed us, girl.
O NEGOCIO
Season III
BUSINESS GAME
Episode 13
There will be consequences.
There will be a price to pay.
You're life will change completely.
Are you sure
you wanna go ahead with this?
-There must be something we can do.
-What?
Don't know,
but has to be.
I don't know what we can do,
only what we can't do.
-What?
-Listen to Mia again.
Yes, if she hadn't convinced us
to build that tower,
none of this would be happening.
And they say she's a genius.
The dumbest genius ever.
-I have an idea.
-Forget it, Mia.
Seriously, I know how to get
enough money,
to pay our investors,
decontaminate the land,
and build the tower
at the same time.
What's the plan? Convincing everyone
that Monopoly money is real?
No.
I know, building a time machine
with Cesar's Passat,
go back in time
and ignore you, right?
-Can I finish?
-No, Mia, we've heard enough.
We've lost enough
as it is.
Calm down, girls.
I know we're all upset.
But we need to hear her out.
-I agree with the faggot.
-Ok, go ahead.
Ever heard about
Giancarlo Tardelli?
-The Italian billionaire?
-Yes.
Never heard of him.
He owns the world's largest
videogame company.
-He's worth 9.7 billion dollars.
-And?
He's known to invest
in daring projects,
like a lab that researches
hallucinogens.
His construction company, is working on
a liberal city in the ocean,
and finances a company
that makes robot sex dolls,
with the latest technology.
He lives in Rio de Janeiro.
Why don't we talk to him?
I'm sure if he hears about our Blue
Building, he'll want to invest in it.
I'll stick with
the time machine.
I'm serious, Magali.
Does anyone have a better idea?
Or should we just sit here
and lose everything?
Mia's right. Let's give it a try.
What's there to lose if we fail?
I agree with the faggot again.
Let's give it a try.
I can't believe we're going to Rio
to try to convince a crazy billionaire
to finance an even crazier woman's plan.
Isn't that weird?
When we're with Mia in that room,
we'll be the most normal people
in the room.
That's never happened before.
No. Could you get my blazer for me?
The one with the shoulder pads.
This one?
Did Zanini move out?
He married someone,
but is mad about Sabrina.
-Can you believe that?
-That's so crazy.
Zanini's married to the lover
of your lover's husband?
What could be crazier than that?
-I'll tell you what's crazier.
-What?
Think about it. I wanted
to have Zanini and Sabrina.
Zanini wanted to have me
and his wife.
His wife wanted Zanini
and Sabrina's husband.
And Sabrina's husband
wanted her and Zanini's wife.
And Sabrina wanted me
and her husband.
Now we've all split up and
we're all alone. That's even crazier.
Almost as crazy
as listening to Mia again.
Let's go.
We're here to see Giancarlo Tardelli.
Mia, Luna and Magali.
-Please have a seat.
-Thanks.
Roberto Matutschek
to see Giancarlo.
One moment.
I'm sorry, you need to make
an appointment.
Tell him it's the Bishop Master
from the chess chat room.
He'll be right with you.
Can you wait a little?
Sure.
-Mia, Luna and Magali?
-Yes.
I'm Nuno, Giancarlo's PA.
I'll take your project.
We'd rather hand it to him
personally.
-Yes.
-I'm sorry, he's very busy.
But I guarantee
we'll take a good look.
-Can't he even spare five minutes?
-It's a very important project.
He won't regret it, trust me.
Impossible.
But you can leave it with me.
When will he see it if we give it
to you? It's an emergency.
The board of directors
have to see it first.
They give it to Giancarlo
if it's approved.
But our budget is used up
until next year,
so you'd have to wait
at least two years.
-We can't wait two years.
-Not even a year.
I'm sorry you can't wait.
Are you totally sure
your budget is used up?
Yes, I am. There's nothing
I can do for you. Excuse me.
Great,
that's all we had to lose, time.
-It's back to the airport.
-No. Let's go to a hotel.
-A hotel?
-We still have one chance.
We can't leave
if we still have a chance.
What chance?
I can't believe we're in a chess
chat room, with the Bishop Master.
-He'll take us to Giancarlo.
-I hope so.
-Bishop Master, I need your help.
-What kind of help?
-I want to play Giancarlo.
-Nobody plays with him.
Giancarlo plays with everybody.
He chooses his rivals.
He's the best player
in the chat room.
-No, he is not. I am the best.
-He hasn't lost a game in years.
Tell everybody he'll lose.
Shall we play?
Okay.
And Mia literally destroyed
the Bishop Master.
You've called Eric.
Please leave a message.
Eric, this is your dad.
Your real dad, Ariel.
I just wanted to tell you,
that parenthood is a very tough job.
There are new theories
about it every single day.
It's a very controversial issue.
And maybe, in an effort to give you
the best possible education,
I might have gone
a little too far.
But who hasn't?
I organized a party
for the Dalai Lama once.
And I'll never forget
what the Dalai Lama said,
in his swimsuit at the pool
with a bunch of hookers.
He said to me: "Ariel, even worse
than making a mistake,
is not forgiving that mistake".
So, think about it. Think about it
and call me. Please, call me.
And?
He won't take my calls.
I phoned him more than 15 times.
Don't worry, kids don't take their
parents' calls even if they like them,
much less if you're the dad.
What can I do?
He will call sooner or later,
if you don't say anything dumb.
-Are you being dumb?
-Of course not. Why would I?
She played against
the entire chat room.
And beat the entire chat room.
And then...
This is Giancarlo.
He took the bait.
-Hi Giancarlo.
-Let's play.
-With one condition.
-What condition?
If I win, you'll take a look
at my project, in person.
-Did he change his mind?
-I don't know.
Agreed.
-You have to beat him now.
-I know.
-Who's winning?
-Mia.
-Now, who's winning?
-Giancarlo.
I did it!
Who won?
It's not over yet,
but I'm winning.
He took the bait.
He'll lose in six more moves.
-Who lost?
-Nobody yet.
Giancarlo lost.
In a little while.
No.
I fell in his trap.
He knew I'd try to trick him,
so he pretended I did to trick me.
Now he thinks
I'll know that I lost in 4 moves.
But he's wrong.
I already know.
-So you lost?
-Did you really lose?
-Yes, I will lose in a little while.
-Wait, you haven't lost yet.
There must be something
you can do.
-There isn't.
-What now?
It's over.
Congratulations, Giancarlo.
You win.
You played well.
Wait.
There is something you can do.
What?
-Giancarlo?
-Yes?
This is who almost beat you.
I want to see your project. How about
a weekend at my country house?
Checkmate!
The next day,
Giancarlo's driver picked us up.
If he won't build the tower,
at least we'll have fun.
We could lose the club
by Tuesday,
but at least we'll have
two days of fun.
-Our own party at Fiscal Island.
-Our last Martini before Prohibition.
Right.
-Isn't this beautiful?
-Beautiful and remote.
-Hi there. Welcome.
-Thanks.
Let's play a little game.
I guess who's Luna, Mia and Magali,
and you guess who's Giancarlo.
Okay.
-Mia. Luna. Magali.
-Giancarlo.
Close.
Armando, show them their rooms.
Make yourselves comfortable
and rest a little.
Meet me in the dining room
in one hour, okay?
Sure.
Great, I'm looking forward
to seeing your project.
Please make yourselves at home.
Excuse me.
Before dinner, we worked on making
the best presentation ever.
Mia went over the tower's
main characteristics,
and we went over the main
characteristics of our anatomy.
This isn't about building a tower.
It's about making history.
Some say it's the project of
a megalomaniac. And they're right.
It's such a huge project that can only
be built by someone even greater.
I haven't heard
such a crazy idea in ages.
-Or such a great idea either.
-You like it?
-I love it.
-Great.
It's funny, though. Ask anyone
what they prefer, Velásquez or sex,
Canaletto or sex,
Holbein, The Elder or sex,
and they'll all answer sex.
But we build
monumental museums,
while brothels are hidden away
in dark corners.
It's the same with everything.
We build soccer stadiums
for 60,000 people,
huge theatres for plays
like Miss Saigon,
or malls with 400 stores,
while brothels are always
hidden away somewhere.
How come?
Open any history book,
you'll see that we were always
more sexually liberal than nowadays.
Now we're a bunch of prudes.
We act like the prudish grandparents,
of our own ancestors.
But why?
It's time to change that.
It's time to get out of the shadows.
It's time to be what we were before.
Like Giuseppe Verdi said,
let's go back to the past
in order to advance.
-You'll invest in it?
-Perhaps.
I need to work on it
a little more.
But it's an excellent idea.
I'm excited about it.
I'd like to show you something.
Follow me.
This record player is my favorite item.
It was the best one in the seventies.
Let me play you something.
In a book by Aldous Huxley,
there's an aristocrat, Lord Edwards.
He was experimenting on frogs
in the cellar of his palace,
when he heard
some very soft music playing.
He listened very carefully
and whispered "Bach."
He rushed out of the cellar
and up the stairs,
with his apron
covered in blood,
and listened in ecstasy
to the concert,
his wife was promoting
in the palace.
This is the music he heard.
Isn't it amazing?
But even so,
it's still not better than sex.
Okay.
Now I need to retire.
I'm calling it a day. Great project.
-Thank you.
-Good night.
-Good night.
-Good night.
-He loved it.
-We'll get the money!
We won't need to fuck him.
We won't have to fuck him?
You were right, Mia.
Congratulations.
-Yes, Mia. Congrats.
-Thanks.
I propose a toast.
To Karin, wherever she may be.
-Hey. Sorry if I scared you.
-That's okay. No problem.
-We need to talk privately.
-About what?
When I said I loved the project,
I meant it, it's awesome.
-But I think we have a problem.
-What problem?
The idea is better
than the team you have.
I don't think you ladies have the
knowhow, to handle such a huge project.
I had my people
investigate all three of you.
Luna's a pathological liar
and Magali is irresponsible.
It's a lot of money
to put in their hands.
And the idea was yours.
What do we need them for?
We don't need them.
We can build that tower without them.
No, they're part of this.
We're in this together.
It's either us three
or none of us.
Are you sure?
I can give you 200 million right now.
I'm positive.
That attitude
lasts less than a dragonfly.
But if you should change your mind
this weekend, please use this.
And I'll find a way to speak to you
privately, without upsetting the girls.
-This is one crazy place.
-Yes.
-Does your phone work?
-Not since we hit the road.
Mine neither.
What about the Internet?
No, I can't get a connection
since I woke up.
Damn it.
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
-Have you seen Giancarlo?
-No.
We haven't seen anybody
in about an hour.
I'm starved.
Me too.
Let's check out the kitchen.
There's nothing here.
-Nothing here.
-That's weird.
-That's all there is.
-A candle and matches?
-Is there another kitchen?
-No idea. Let's look for somebody.
-There's nobody here.
-What if he's in his room?
He could be there.
Giancarlo.
Giancarlo.
The cars are gone too.
-This is freaking me out.
-Maybe they're getting some breakfast.
Maybe they burned everything
and went to get more stuff.
They're not getting breakfast,
but they went to do something.
-Yes, they did.
-Mia, is your phone working?
-No.
-And the Internet?
I get claustrophobic
without the Internet.
The world is smaller
than a shoebox without it.
-What do we do now?
-Wait and see if somebody shows up.
-I'm hungry.
-Me too.
-What time is it?
-Five thirty.
That clock says 5:30 since yesterday.
-That one says 5:30 too.
-Wait.
The clock in the kitchen
says 5:30 too.
-Something's wrong.
-Something's very wrong.
-What do we do?
-I don't know.
What if Giancarlo's crazy,
a psycho?
What if he shows up
with an axe, a chainsaw?
Stop it. You're scaring me.
I'm not scaring you.
It's this whole thing.
-I know what to do.
-What?
Let's walk through the forest
and find someone to help us.
-I have a better idea.
-Do you, really?
You got us in a mess,
and we heard you again,
just to make matters even worse.
-Can I speak or not?
-Go ahead.
-We can stand on the roof.
-On the roof?
To see what's the best way
out of here.
Who's climbing up?
The last time I tried climbing
I got 7 stitches on my head.
Fine, I'll do it.
So?
Magali, say something!
-We're screwed.
-What?
-We're screwed!
-Why? What can you see?
-Nothing!
-What do you mean nothing?
Nothing, just trees as far as I can see.
We're screwed!
-Screwed.
-What now?
I'm hungry and cold
in this forest, we're dead.
-Wait!
-Can you see something?
-I can see a number.
-What kind of number?
A number on the ground
made with flowers.
It's only visible from here,
but it's clearly a number.
-What number is it?
-Five hundred thirty.
The same number the clocks say.
Five thirty.
What does it mean?
Why is that number all over the house?
Why did Giancarlo vanish?
Why is there no food?
Why? Why?
Maybe something
will happen at 5:30?
It's way past 5:30.
-What if...
-What?
What if we're found dead
at 5:30 tomorrow?
-Stop it, you're scaring me.
-It's not me. It's this whole thing.
-Maybe...
-Maybe what?
-Just maybe.
-Maybe what, Mia?
Maybe there's something
on the 530 dial.
Nice playing. The die is cast.
Hi, this is Giancarlo.
You are now playing my game.
The prize is the money
for your project.
You need to prove
you're as good as your idea.
You have until Monday sundown,
to get to my office, in Rio de Janeiro.
The clues will take you there.
Be careful. Any mistake could be fatal.
Good luck. The die is cast.
Hi, this is Giancarlo...
He is kidding, right?
He can't be serious.
Giancarlo is nuts.
He is totally nuts!
-What do we do?
-All we can do is panic.
-Let's use that as plan B.
-What's plan A?
What's plan A, Mia?
-Going along with it.
-You can't be serious.
-What is this, find the treasure?
-You got a better idea?
There has to be a clue
somewhere.
-Julius Caesar.
-What about him?
He said the die is cast.
-We need to find the key.
-Unbelievable.
It's somewhere in here.
-I don't know where else to look.
-Me neither.
I'm so hungry and I'm freezing.
Gum for dinner anyone?
I've got three. One each.
-Here.
-Thanks.
This is just great, right?
This game is awesome.
We either make millions or die.
Just awesome.
Didn't he mention a book
by Huxley when he played this?
I think so, why?
The clue to find the key
could be in the book.
I found it!
-It's a trick.
-Don't say that.
I don't believe it. Now what?
Wasn't there a candle
in the kitchen?
Yes! Good thing
we didn't eat it.
I'm sleepy, cold, thirsty and hungry.
And all I can do now is sleep.
-Let's get some sleep?
-We'd better get some rest.
-Who keeps the candle?
-All of us. We'd better stay together.
-I'll get a blanket from the bedroom.
-I'm coming too.
Me too.
Magali.
Mia.
It's morning.
Let's look for the key.
-That's it. I'm not searching anymore.
-You'd rather do plan B?
No, I'd rather get out of here.
Let's leave in the daytime.
It's our only chance.
-We'll never find the key.
-Hold on, Luna.
The book wasn't a trick.
A map!
Let's go.
We're here.
A car!
-It's locked.
-Let's smash the window.
We can't smash it, Luna.
It's bulletproof.
Unbelievable.
What a bastard!
-We need to find the key.
-Where?
I don't know, there has to be
a clue somewhere.
What clue? Where?
I have no idea.
We need to use our heads.
-I've had it with this crap.
-Me too.
-Any ideas?
-No.
See what you did now?
We'll die here because of you.
-I just wanted to help.
-Help?
Since the day we met you,
you've harmed us.
You ruined everything
it took us years to get.
Yes, Mia, congrats.
You've ruined everything.
Karin thought
we could work as a team.
She made one big mistake in her life,
and that is you.
I thought you guys
were as special as Karin.
But I was wrong. Very wrong.
You are nobody without her.
You're worth nothing
without her.
-You know what I think?
-What?
Mia wanted to replace Karin
and kick us out of the club.
Think, first there was
that new Karin thing.
Then she found a way
to charge more than us.
Then, Karin left all of a sudden.
Didn't she convince Karin?
That makes sense.
Then the new tower. Why?
She's after Karin's dream.
That's awful.
-We need to get her dream back.
-Yes.
Giancarlo was right to leave her out.
And we said no.
Yes, but it's time to say yes.
Mine's right here.
-You think there are cameras here?
-Somewhere, I guess.
He said to wear them during
the weekend, and he'd see, right?
-Right.
-So, there are cameras.
-Can I confess something?
-What?
-I was starting to like Mia.
-Me too.
We can't stab her in the back.
We need to do it face to face.
Before wearing the necklace,
we kick her out of the club,
face to face.
Yes, that's the right thing
to do.
Mia.
She's not here.
Okay, then.
We'll have to be backstabbers.
Let's get it over with.
-Hold on.
-What?
He talked to her too.
She'd never put it in the trash
to think it over.
No.
Forgive us, Mia.
We were wrong about you.
Yes, we shouldn't have
yelled at you.
Yelling at you was a mistake.
And we almost made a bigger mistake.
-A much bigger one.
-What mistake?
He proposed the same thing
to you guys.
So it's part of the game.
There must be a clue in there.
What if...
Hi there.
How was your weekend?
Excellent,
I did all my favorite things.
I was hungry, thirsty and cold
and couldn't get online.
Where's that mud from?
The car got stuck.
We almost didn't make it.
-Not a nice experience.
-Forgive me. I had to do that.
What for?
I had to see
if you can work together.
If you're persistent
and incorruptible.
If you can work as a team.
And if together you can face
the greatest adversities.
In other words, if together you can
develop such a daring enterprise,
deal with all the criticism
and never give up.
Why didn't you just ask?
Sorry, I didn't think of that.
Okay, we did it.
How do we get the money?
Take it easy.
The test isn't done yet.
What do you mean?
No, there's one more test.
Just one more.
No, that's it! Keep your money.
This game is over.
Let's go.
They passed the test.
We took our flight back to Sao Paulo,
then went home to rest.
With a few pounds less
and a few million reais more.
-You startled me, Oscar!
-Ariel told me you were back.
-So you decided to break in again?
-Yes, I did.
May I ask why?
Come here.
Come here.
See that car?
The Aston Martin?
-What about it?
-It's mine.
-Yours?
-Yes.
See that rooftop apartment
across the street?
Guess who owns it.
-Who?
-It's mine.
-Seriously, Oscar?
-Yes, I did it, Luna. I'm rich.
Guess who this is for.
It's yours.
I'm back, Luna,
I came back for you.
Will you marry me?
I wasn't sure I should go back
to Oscar or not.
So many things happened
since we separated.
Magali was very sure
she missed Zanini very much.
The bonobo is the animal, that's
genetically closest to human beings.
But they are more peaceful.
They never fight
and have sex with each other.
For these adorable
bons vivants of the wild,
copulation is much more
than a means of reproduction.
That evening, Magali learned
that in a bonobo community,
everybody has sex with everybody
and everybody's happy.
She had an idea.
What if she organized
a community like the bononos?
A society of peace and love.
A society in which she, Zanini, Leticia,
Sabrina and Sabrina's husband,
could have sex with one another,
without all the lying and cheating.
Exhausted by a whole afternoon
of lovemaking,
our friends get ready, for a
well-deserved good night's sleep.
The kid finally calmed down.
Time to bury the hatchet.
-Eric.
-Ariel, pay attention.
-What?
-Don't call me anymore.
Stop calling me, okay?
Don't ever call me again.
-He hasn't calmed down?
-No.
Fuck it.
He isn't even my kid.
-What, Ariel?
-He's not.
I forged the test results.
I bribed the guy at the lab.
-You did what?
-I wanted a son.
Cibele said he was mine
and I believed her.
I got accustomed to it.
But he wasn't.
-So I made him mine.
-I can't believe it.
But it's business as usual.
Let's celebrate the fact
that the girls saved the club,
and we're building the tower.
I drink to that.
The next day, I decided I wanted
to stay with Oscar.
But first I had to totally
forget about Chris.
And Magali started making the first
enquiries, to organize her community.
Zanini, give me a call
whenever you can.
I have an idea.
An amazing idea.
It might seem crazy,
but if you think about it,
you'll see it's
exactly what we need.
Mia asked Giancarlo for a rematch,
swearing she'd win this time.
She lost.
Cesar hired a company
to decontaminate the land.
Can you email me the agreement?
We need to rush.
Ariel had too much to drink,
and blacked out on the couch
after a speech
about the benefits of being alone.
And that's when...
What's that fucking noise?
Will somebody take the call?
I'll get it.
It's Karin.
It's Karin!
I'll call you back.
Did you have
to disconnect your phone?
And ignore our emails?
I needed to be totally isolated.
And it's not over yet.
What do you mean?
I just came to speak with you.
I'll be in Germany tomorrow.
-What?
-Talk about what?
-What are you talking about?
-Calm down, I will explain.
-Go ahead.
-I spoke to nobody for a long time.
I needed that silence,
and I thought a lot about my life.
After a lot of thought
I knew what I had to do.
And what I need to do
is dedicate my entire life,
to fight against the prejudice
against sex workers.
But how?
I had an idea to start the debate.
To turn my story into a book.
I wrote a draft called "Why not?"
I took it to one of the biggest
publishers in Germany.
They liked the idea
and promised to contact me.
They called me yesterday.
The answer is yes.
They want to launch
my book globally.
But before I start
working on my book,
I need to decide something
with you guys.
Part of my story,
the best part of my story,
is what I had with you.
We've been through
a lot together.
We struggled a lot together.
We suffered together.
We celebrated together.
And together we built a company,
that nobody thought
that could work. And it did.
I'd like to tell our story
in that book so much,
but I know the price
could be too high.
So if you prefer, I can write another
version of our story to protect you.
Whatever you want.
What do you think?
Karin.
We'll let you tell the truth
about all of us,
only if you include
another chapter in your book.
-What chapter?
-It's called "The Building."
